Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd 3 (5) | 27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 | 9st 8lb | Smart performer; completed a notable hat-trick (on good to firm ground) last summer, culminating in Group 1 honours over C&D; avoids a penalty for that success and holds a leading chance assuming he's back in similar form; best to forgive Epsom Group 3 effort last time (unsuited by the way the race unfolded). | 6/4F |
| 5th 5 (8) | 6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Merely mid-division in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (1m, good) last October and again below his best on reappearance at Sandown (1m, good) in April; however, he pulled hard last time and holds leading claims if rediscovering the form of his Group 1 City Of York win (7f, good to firm) last August; mixed messages in his form regarding the suitability of slow ground. | 15/8F |
| 5th 6 (4) | 24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 3lb | Did very well (3-5) last season for new stable, completing a notable summer hat-trick (7f/1m, good to firm) that culminated in Group 1 success at York; not disgraced from unfavourable draw in the QEII on final outing; may rate higher still and looks likely to go well. | 9/1 |
| 7th 6 (13) | 18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 6lb | Won 7f handicap (good to firm) at the Royal meeting here and followed up in the Group 2 Summer Mile on the round course here (good to firm), before landing the hat-trick in the Group 1 City Of York Stakes (7f, good to firm); they finished in a heap at York and a bigger performance is needed in this hotter Group 1, but he's highly progressive and warrants respect. | 6/1 |
| 1st 4 (7) | 23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 | 9st 8lb | 4yo for whom things have clicked in a big way this season; impressive in the Buckingham Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) and followed up in Group 2 Summer Mile there last month; did well in the latter to overhaul one who had built a clear lead; respected now in a Group 1. | 7/2 |
