| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th 6 (15) | 16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 | 9st 5lb | Consistent performer who chased home Haatem in this on good to firm last year; ended 2025 with solid efforts in Bahrain and Hong Kong and it's probably worth forgiving him a rare off day in Saudi Arabia in February; capable of making a bold bid in this again assuming stall 15 isn't too troublesome. | 16/1 |
| 3rd 2 (5) | 16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y | 9st 12lb | Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in the year when making all in C&D Group 3 Alleged Stakes (first-time cheekpieces) in April; faded into fifth behind Los Angeles in the Mooresbridge Stakes; good effort when second in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot; not one of his better efforts in the four-race Meld Stakes at Leopardstown last month. | 8/1 |
| 3rd 1 (1) | 17th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y | 9st 12lb | Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes at the Curragh (first-time cheekpieces) in April and bettered that under a penalty when second in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot, racing wide and hanging right on quick ground in front when beaten 3/4l; still improving and big player. | 13/8 |
| 2nd 1 (9) | 17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 | 9st 10lb | Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 at the Curragh (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April; couldn't repeat the form in a Group 2 there six weeks ago and a 5lb penalty for the Group 3 success leaves him vulnerable here. | 13/2 |
| 5th 1 (2) | 5th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y | 9st 5lb | led, ridden but headed over 1f out, weakened gradually inside final furlong | 3/1 |
