20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Enhanced his good strike-rate in Bahrain with Group 3 success in April; weakened into last of six (well below par) at Newbury since and it's nearly two years since he last prevailed on home soil; doubts are cemented by this difficult assignment back up in grade. |
66/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Four Listed wins before he added a 1m4f Group 3 success in Bahrain 15 days ago; stacks of smart form in his lengthy career and none of it better than that latest start, but a bit extra will be needed to win this. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held up; eight Group 3 wins are already in the bag, including this race in 2021 (his only appearance in it); has a slightly mixed reappearance record but he was almost as good as ever with his two wins last term, including first time out, and a return to that level would make this 9yo the one to beat. |
5/2 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
4-8 at Newbury but he was a below-form third in this race last year on heavy going (acts on soft); Sandown in April and Glorious Goodwood in August made it eight Group 3 wins now in total; held up as usual in Ireland last time but he did not get run of the race; the chance of heavy ground is far more of a concern but he has a leading form chance if the ground is okay. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won easily on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in June 2023 and again impressive when belatedly making it 2-2 in warm Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in December 2024; another absence subsequently and he's up in grade on his comeback, but this 4yo has bundles of potential for his powerful stable. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Missed 2025; started this season at Meydan and Longchamp but returned to British soil with career-best form 16 days ago when a close fourth of nine in 1m2f Listed race at this track; more to prove on softer than good and this is also his first appearance beyond 1m2f, but that latest run gave some encouragement; either way he needs to find a bit extra. |
9/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Missed 2025; last two performances, namely success at Meydan (handicap) and third at Longchamp (Listed), show that he retains plenty of ability; however, has something to find back on home soil. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
From a useful middle-distance family and she won two handicaps at around 1m3f in the second half of 2025; however, she has come up well short in two attempts at Listed/Group 3 level, and she has a mountain to climb on form. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Looked firmly on the up when landing a pair of handicaps (around 1m3f) at Kempton and Yarmouth last autumn but she ended 2025 on a low note when tailed off in the St Simon Stakes at Newbury; this is no easy reappearance. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm; made virtually all) in April but she's been well beaten in two starts since, including over this trip at Leicester 15 days ago; has a bit to prove. |
7/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 3-9 on turf but she finished a remote last of four in her bid for a double at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month; has bit to prove again after that and it would be a worry if rain arrives (almost all of her runs have been on good/good to firm.) |
