22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unplaced favourite in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) but bounced back to win the competitive Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; defied joint-top weight last time and he could give a good account now up in grade; has shown promise on soft. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Contrasting performances since fitted with hood, winning readily at Meydan but disappointing favourite in the Royal Hunt Cup returned to British soil; something to prove off an unchanged mark, which remains 10lb above the last one he raced off prior to UAE stint. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

In good form at Meydan this year for new yard, most recently scoring readily in first-time hood to take his 1m record to 22111 (all wins on good/firmer); may have even more to offer over this trip in the retained headgear; sound claims. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
All five starts on good/good to firm; made it 2-2 with 7f Listed win at Newmarket in May and has shaped in 7f/1m Group 3 races on his last two starts (including here) as though this new trip could be a good fit; not discounted in first-time tongue-tie; the blinkers adopted last time are left off. |
10/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ran below expectations when a warm order for the Jersey at Royal Ascot (2-2 previously) but bounced back with a creditable effort against his elders in 7f Group 3 at York a week later, while leaving the impression he'll be suited by this step up to 1m combined with first-time headgear; remains of interest, with further progress still plausible. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Ran below expectations when a warm order for the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot last Saturday but was drawn a bit higher than ideal, the way the race panned out, and finishing sixth of 16 wasn't a total disaster; 2-2 previously, including 7f Listed win at Newmarket, and can be treated as retaining potential; respected in receipt of 9lb from his elders. |

Won the Group 3 Earl Of Sefton at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance and mid-division in Group 1s on next two runs; third of five to subsequent International winner Item here (10.2f, good to firm) last time and has leading claims back down in trip/grade; cheekpieces go on; has won on good to soft. |
11/4 |

3rd 2 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Second to Pride Of Arras in last year's Dante over C&D; looked set for a stellar 2026 when trouncing five rivals in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance, but hasn't repeated the form in 1m Group 1s since; stepping back up in distance looks a sensible move and he's the one to beat judged on that standout Newmarket effort. |
3/1 |

5th 2 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Record is 4-8, the most recent success gained comfortably in Newmarket Group 3 on seasonal debut when completing a 1m2f/1m1f hat-trick; disappointing in the Lockinge (1m) since, not looking entirely beaten by the drop back in trip, but he's difficult to write off having been broadly progressive otherwise; rebound is possible. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 6lb |
Very solid performer at this sort of level, decisively landing the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown in July; good second to the subsequent St Leger runner-up in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood, before a below-par run at York; sets a good standard and sure to be hard to beat. |
7/4 |

5th 10 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who has got better with each run this season and impressed in the Group 3 Meld at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) last month before finishing second in the Group 3 Gordon at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) under a 3lb penalty (same today); runner-up in a Group 2 on yielding to soft last September; this versatile sort could be in the mix back down in trip. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran in two Group 2s as 2yo and progressive at Listed/Group 3 levels this season, winning well at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) two weeks ago when he reverted to front-running; probably stayed 1m2f on penultimate start, without shouting that he's a 1m4f horse. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on slow ground; won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good) and he returned from a break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); things haven't gone to plan on his two starts since but a line can be put through Goodwood as he got no run; interesting contender. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good); returned from break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); flopped at Sandown four weeks ago but very much of interest on his earlier form. |

6th 2 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |

In great form since wearing cheekpieces, completing a handicap double at Meydan then running well in better races, latest at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; Listed) back on home soil; solid claims in the retained headgear. |

All starts on good/faster; won the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood last August and bagged 1m Listed win at Ascot this May; close third in hot 1m1f conditions race at Goodwood three weeks ago and could be involved. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Group 2 Celebration Mile here (good to firm) last August and bagged Listed win at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in May; below par in Group 1 and Group 2 races on last two runs and entitled to respect back down in grade. |
11/2 |

7th 4 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (good to firm) last August; mixed results in international races on next three starts but back on the domestic scene with a defeat of Holloway Boy in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May; too keen and never involved back in Group 1 company at Newbury since, with reopposing pair More Thunder and Zeus Olympios comfortably ahead. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Last year's Autumn Stakes winner over C&D (good to firm; made all) who reappeared with a cracking third in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, very soft) in May; didn't match that level on his next two starts but, like Colori Forever, he was on the tails of Persica and The Lost King in Haydock Group 3 (1m, heavy) three weeks ago; that was a step back in the right direction and maybe new cheekpieces can give him a further boost. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Group 3 winner at two but easily his best run came in defeat when a close third in the French 2,000 Guineas in May (1m, very soft; led and then rallied); since then he's finished down the field in the French Derby and again in the 1m1f Strensall at York where he raced too close to a strong pace; he could have pressure up front if intent on leading, but under his optimum conditions he's a player. |
6/1 |

9th 11 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |

Won on debut here (7f, good) last June and made it 2-3 as 2yo when making all in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last October; reappeared with fine front-running third in the Group 1 Poule d'Essai Des Poulains at Longchamp (1m, very soft) in May; down the field in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) three weeks later but has had a break since and is very much of interest judged on his previous form. |

Nicely bred colt whose sole handicap attempt resulted in a neck win at the Curragh (1m1f, good; solid form) on Irish Derby day; best to forgive latest effort (faced difficult task); remains of interest. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |

Promise on first three starts (including on soft/good to soft) before winning Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) in June; followed up in big-field handicap at the Curragh (1m1f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); this is a much tougher test of his credentials and Tom Marquand rides stablemate Saber Strike, but he's very well bred and in top hands; not ruled out. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |

Slow ground would be a worry (non-runner due to unsuitable good to soft here on Thursday) and he's unraced over this far; however, this front-runner has an extremely solid record in 1m handicaps here and was a Group 2 runner-up at Ascot (1m) last July; capable of bold bid if conditions suit. |

Front-runner; successful in this race in 2024 but that wide-margin win represents his last victory; solid fourth in a good York handicap in May; should be in the thick of it. |
