Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 (12) | 6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Frankel colt who was dominant in a maiden last July, a Group 2 at Leopardstown (1m) in September and Group 3 Chester Vase (12.5f, good) one month ago; his free-flowing, long-striding action was seen to good effect in those races, but not on heavy ground when third in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m) in October; soft ground would also introduce something for him to prove but otherwise he brings strength of stamina and among the best form; if the ground is okay, a bold show looks assured. | 2/1 |
| 1st 1 (5) | 6th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 | 9st 6lb | Made all in a maiden last July and most impressive in four-runner Group 2 at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) in September; made favourite for the Derby on the back of that, and still has that position despite his third of five behind two stablemates when warm favourite for Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m) in October, which was on heavy ground; sister Giselle won last year's Lingfield Oaks Trial (Oaks fifth); their trainer is the first one to turn to for winners of these Chester Derby and Oaks trials; hard to beat. | 2/9F |
| 3rd 2 (2) | 25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 3lb | Made all in a maiden at Killarney (1m, yielding to soft) in July on his second run and easily followed up under Christophe Soumillon in the four-runner Group 2 Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) last month; favourite for the Derby on the back of that and, while he's been weak in the ante-post betting for this race, he certainly has star potential. | 7/4F |
| 1st 2 (3) | 13th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y | 9st 5lb | Frankel brother to this year's Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Giselle; loads of debut promise at the Curragh in June and confirmed that when landing long odds over today's trip at Killarney following month, making all in readily beating a stablemate and subsequent maiden winner on yielding-to-soft, still green; very smart prospect, major player here with conditions to suit. | 1/2F |
| 1st 1 (3) | 14th Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 20y | 9st 7lb | Frankel colt and a brother to the smart Giselle; not friendless in the betting at the Curragh (7f, good; 11-2) and came clear with an odds-on stablemate who the time before finished just ahead of Ipanema Beach; should have derived considerable benefit from that experience and stepping up a furlong can only help; entered in the Group 1 National Stakes. | 2/5F |
