15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
8yo with high-class performances around the globe over 1m2f-1m4f but he's never been beyond that; below form in Australia in April when last seen but his performance there the time before was up with his best form; usually runs well after a break; there's a question whether ground firmer than good is ideal but he is very much the class act in this field. |

16th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Started his campaign with a 1m2f Listed success on Kempton's Polytrack and struck for the third time at Group 1 level in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (1m4f) in June; another good effort in top company on the continent when second at Baden-Baden (1m4f) in September; Group 1 penalty to shoulder but a potential cut above. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who defied top weight at York (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and won over this C&D (good to soft) last September; has run some good races on soft ground in the past; he's just 2lb higher than last time and can produce another bold show. |
5/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won at Chester (1m2f, good) in July and returned to form when third of five in Listed race there (1m4f, good to soft) last month; he's saved his best for Chester this season but has shown promise at York in the past and the drop back in trip is a likely plus; can make a bold bid. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
First two wins were on heavy/AW; there have been a couple of disappointments in his eight-race career but he followed two AW seconds by winning a six-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb in this much more competitive race but he won in clearcut style in first-time blinkers. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won last September on his first two starts for this yard (heavy/AW); disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on his reappearance but he's been runner-up at Kempton in both starts since; switches back to turf with blinkers now tried; contender. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won in great style at Haydock (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) last July and put up a bold show over C&D this May; having been a non-runner at Royal Ascot where the good to firm ground was deemed unsuitable, he ran on it at Newmarket seven weeks ago and disappointed; can go well if back to peak form. |
12/1 |

9th 2 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
10lb higher than when winning this race at its usual home Haydock (good) last July in great style; that was his final race last season but he put up a bold show when third to Klassleader at York this May; non-runner at Royal Ascot where the good to firm ground was deemed unsuitable (third of 12 on it at York last May); big shout if today's ground is okay. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in useful handicap (1m4f, soft) on Derby day when last seen, taking Epsom record to 2-2; similar type to High Degree and looks a major player in the retained headgear. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner for Joseph O'Brien at Lingfield last June but not at the same level on final two outings for that yard and same story on first two starts for this stable. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Some good form in stakes company last year and on third start this term won 1m4f Limerick Listed, improving markedly for the step up in trip; denied a clear run back at 1m2f on latest in Group 3 at the Curragh so certainly not one to rule out back at this trip. |
