| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6th 4 (5) | 6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Runner-up in two Cup races last term; only a neck behind stablemate Jan Brueghel in the 2024 St Leger but was beaten about 5l by that opponent last month when bidding for a second success in the Ormonde at Chester, doing nothing to close their current ratings differential; perhaps in here to set the pace and ensure a proper test. | 33/1 |
| 3rd 4 (6) | 7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Ran as if something was amiss in the Irish St Leger on last appearance; very consistent otherwise and justified favouritism in this contest (good) 12 months ago, prior to second-place finishes in two Cup races; beaten only a neck by stablemate Jan Brueghel in the 2024 St Leger; respected in rematch with that rival. | 9/2 |
| 7th 5 (7) | 14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y | 9st 10lb | Very consistent high-class stayer; narrowly beaten in last year's St Leger at Doncaster and beat Al Qareem on seasonal return in Ormonde Stakes (Chester) before second placings in both Ascot Gold Cup and when outstayed by stablemate Scandinavia in 2m Goodwood Cup, having made the running; cheekpieces now tried and big player. | 15/8F |
| 2nd 3 (8) | 29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 12lb | Sometimes hangs under pressure but he's a resolute galloper who races prominently and can make the running if necessary; superbly reliable since last May and although he's not yet won a Group 1, he's been second in three of them, including last year's St Leger and last month's Gold Cup at Royal Ascot; another leading role looks assured. | 7/4F |
| 2nd 8 (1) | 19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 | 9st 3lb | Won Queen's Vase here (1m6f, good to firm) last June and went close in the St Leger (14.5f, good) before his Longchamp Group 2 win (1m7f, soft) in October; as good as ever with 1m5f reappearance win at Chester; resolute galloper who races prominently and can make the running, so Ryan Moore may try to dictate; tendency to hang left might again be in evidence in closing stages but he's looked a thorough stayer at shorter distances and it will be no surprise if he takes Aidan O'Brien's Gold Cup wins into double figures. | 9/4 |
