Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd 4 (3) | 29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 10lb | started quickly, pulled hard, soon prominent, led under 2f out, soon hung right, headed final 110yds, soon lost second and no extra | 9/2 |
| 3rd 7 (7) | 16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Made all for 3l success in a particularly good edition of the bet365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown most recently, defying a 5lb penalty for his Group 1 win at Meydan and taking record to 7-9, as well as reversing Newmarket autumn placings with Zeus Olympios; doesn't necessarily need to dominate up front; new rating puts him on a par with stablemate Notable Speech and even bigger figures may be on the way; respected. | 7/2 |
| 1st 2 (2) | 24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 8lb | Progressive colt who readily bagged Group 1 honours at Meydan (1m1f, good) three months ago, taking record to 6-8; however, appears to need further improvement to defy 5lb penalty and was no match for Zeus Olympios in last domestic outing. | 4/1 |
| 2nd 5 (6) | 26th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Pulled too hard and flopped in the Craven but firmly back on track with a hood fitted since, winning Listed events over this trip at Sandown (good) and on the July course (good to firm); particularly impressive in the latter event and he holds a Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes entry; sets a fine standard to aim at. | 4/5F |
| 1st 1 (7) | 10th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 | 9st 8lb | Unraced as a 2yo; impressive in two Kempton AW contests early this year, looking a 2,000 Guineas prospect; flopped in the Craven, having pulled too hard, but scored comfortably in first-time hood at Sandown (1m, good; Listed) since; talented colt who could well progress further with the headgear retained; respected even with 3lb penalty. | 11/8F |
