| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd 5 (9) | 18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 | 9st 4lb | Third and fourth in the last two renewals of this race and his 19l defeat last year was the only time in his career that he's finished out of the top three; being ridden closer to the pace that day seemingly backfired, as he's usually smuggled into each-way contention in the closing stages; beat Caballo De Mar (who gave 2lb) in one tight finish this year and not quite able to reel in Dubai Future in another; probably as good as ever but winning the Gold Cup may again prove a bit beyond him. | 11/1 |
| 2nd 1 (4) | 28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 | 9st 9lb | Won this in 2024 and has added three more Group-race wins, the latest on reappearance in this month's Sagaro Stakes at Ascot (2m, good to firm) where he was clear with subsequent Group 1 winner Caballo De Mar; leading claims despite 5lb penalty. | 8/13F |
| 1st 2 (9) | 1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 | 9st 9lb | Headgear and Rab Havlin all starts; not straightforward but he nearly always gives his running, including at this track; he did not have the top stayers to worry about last September when winning his second Doncaster Cup and the same seems to apply today, so he's a leading player. | 5/6F |
| 2nd 2 (4) | 18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 1 | 9st 9lb | Headgear and Rab Havlin all starts; not straightforward but he nearly always gives his running and was third and second in the last two runnings of this race; he did not have the top stayers to worry about last month when winning his second Doncaster Cup and while he had the edge over third-placed Trawlerman in this 12 months ago, he's found that rival too tough to crack in their two clashes this season. | 5/2 |
| 1st 5 (5) | 12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 | 9st 7lb | Headgear and Rab Havlin all starts; not straightforward but he nearly always gives his running and won this race last year (good to soft; acts on any) with significantly greater authority than the 1l margin suggests, having been second in it the year before; not quite at his best when half a length in front of Sunway at Goodwood; he does not have the top stayers to worry about today and looks set for a big run in his Doncaster Cup defence. | 10/11F |
