Jockey Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st 12 (14) | 20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 | 9st 2lb | Won the last three of his five starts; this season they were 1m2f handicaps (good; unraced on firmer) at Sandown and Newbury, latterly in the London Gold Cup in which he travelled very strongly before squeezing through over 1f out and prevailing virtually on the nod against Sahara King, as the pair drew about 2l clear; these powerful owners have acquired both horses since; up 7lb but improving and capable of better. | 2/1F |
| 26th 11 (6) | 20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 | 9st 5lb | Sterling effort to win the Group 2 Queen Mary (5f, good to firm) at this meeting as a 2yo, then ran to a similar level in another Group 2 at York (6f); useful efforts in 5f Listed races in just two runs as a 3yo and 4yo (tongue tied latest; had wind surgery since) but the suitability of this test has to be proved. | 40/1 |
| 4th 16 (3) | 20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 | 9st 0lb | Changed hands for £700,000 on Monday; won Group 2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f, soft) last summer; wasn't disgraced when sixth of eight in the same grade there on reappearance, fading on first go at 1m (good ground); this return to 7f should help but others have stronger claims on form. | 80/1 |
| 3rd 17 (9) | 20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 | 9st 2lb | Five Group 1 wins in Australia, including on her last two starts (6.5f/6f, good/soft) this spring; top Australian sprinters tend to be a notch ahead of their European counterparts and she could take plenty of beating. | 15/8F |
| 5th 20 (11) | 20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 | 9st 0lb | Hit the line strongly to make a winning debut over 4.5f on dirt at Churchill Downs in USA in April; trainer reportedly confident the filly will adapt to turf but jockey bookings might suggest she's third best of the yard's three-pronged attack. | 13/2 |
