| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th 2 (8) | 18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 | 9st 4lb | Second at last year's Royal Ascot in the 1m4f Hardwicke and 4l winner of the 1m6f Irish St Leger; ran on strongly from out the back when seventh in the Melbourne Cup (2m) in November and ended up third to Caballo De Mar in blanket finish to a Longchamp Group 1 (nearly 2m) four weeks ago, having been last of nine 2f out; those do not mean he's an assured stayer on this move up to 2m4f but he brings among the best form and has to enter calculations. | 8/1 |
| 1 | 24th May 2026 1m 2f 110y | 9st 5lb

| 1st 2 (5) | 14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y | 9st 10lb | Three-time winner here including 5L success in Group 2 Curragh Cup in July on latest; Group 1 winner as a 2yo and 3yo, acts on easy ground and looks a deserved favourite on his way to a likely Melbourne Cup bid. | 3/1 |
| 1st 1 (7) | 19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 16y | 9st 11lb | Last year's Eclipse runner up and 5l winner of the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin (1m4f, good) got back to near his best when a 1.75l second in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, gd-fm) last month in first-time blinkers; cheekpieces return today and he is top-rated by some distance; should stay this longer trip, preferred by McMonagle and the one to beat. | 4/5F |
| 2nd 2 (7) | 21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 | 9st 3lb | Runner-up in the Group 1 Eclipse (1m2f, soft) last July before 5l win in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin; not at his very best since and only fourth of six in the Group 1 Prix Ganay (10.5f, good to soft) last time, but the drop back in grade and possibly the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) will aid his cause today; strong claims if surging back to his best. | 4/1 |
