29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up twice in a row (1m2f, good; including behind Bay Royale) before showing improved form for the step up in trip and getting off the mark at the fifth attempt in a novice at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he was impressive last time and is just the type of 3yo from this yard to keep on progressing; firmly in calculations on handicap debut. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
No wins in four but he's useful and beat all bar subsequent Queen's Vase fourth Point Of Law over 1m2f at Newbury in mid-May; led that day and should put up another bold show. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Second in his first two races but easily best form when fourth of eight in novice at Doncaster on third outing; handicap debut was at Glorious Goodwood (again 1m4f on good to firm) and he ran creditably from the front to be fifth of eight; improvement is needed but this longer trip could be interesting. |
11/2 |

5th 9 (8) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Beaten just a neck at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last month on his second start before 5l fourth of eight to Hatteen at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm); he's 8lb better off with the winner for this handicap debut and further improvement is possible, but it's needed in this warm contest and there's a suspicion he may appreciate a longer trip. |
25/1 |

4th 8 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in both his races and beaten only a neck in the latest (1m4f, good), but appears to have the weakest form claims of those with experience. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Given every chance when going down narrowly in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap 20 days ago; that form entitles him to a second look here (in new cheekpieces) but he is 0-6 and others should have greater potential. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
0-5, clear best effort when second of 12 on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on penultimate outing; brother to a fairly useful 1m4f winner for the same connections, so today's extra 4f is interesting. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
By Wootton Bassett and out of a sister to Oaks winner Was, he fetched 4,300,000gns in 2024; he can be forgiven his no-show in last month's soft-ground Derby and his previous second at Haydock (first-time cheekpieces retained since) was behind a stablemate who went on to finish close up in the Queen's Vase; respected. |
10/1 |

13th 13 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Having fetched 4,300,000gns in 2024, he is the most expensive yearling colt ever sold at auction in Europe; by Wootton Bassett out of a sister to Oaks winner Was; on the other hand, he was left nearly 9l behind by Bay Of Brilliance at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in October and sported cheekpieces at 10-1 when a front-running second of four to a stablemate in Haydock novice (1m4f, good to firm) in April; admirably tenacious in the latter but the dream was once of so much more. |
200/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran to a modest level in novices on good to soft ground last autumn (7f and 1m1f); upped in trip and tried in headgear for his reappearance and this 4,300,000gns yearling remains capable of better. |
