The outstanding stayer of 2022 when 6-6, including the Gold Cup, this race, and the Prix du Cadran; second in his only two runs in 2023 but 4-4 this season; regained the Gold Cup with a gritty defeat of Trawlerman (Vauban fourth) and was thoroughly dominant in beating Friday's Doncaster Cup winner Sweet William in the Goodwood Cup; not always as extravagant as that but has all the qualities of a top stayer.

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
The outstanding stayer of 2022 when unbeaten in six starts, including this race; second in his only two runs in 2023 but 3-3 this season and by far the most important of those was his classy and extremely game display last time to regain the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot; very much the one to beat. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
The outstanding stayer of 2022 when unbeaten in six starts, including this race (good to firm) and most notably when he took the Prix du Cadran (very soft) by an incredible 20l despite some errant behaviour late on; missed most of 2023 but ran Trawlerman to a neck over 1m7f here in October and won twice at lower levels over 1m6f this spring without needing to be near his best; the proven class act but he's by no means clear of the pack on 2023 or 2024 evidence. |

The leading juvenile hurdler of the 2021/22 season, no match for stablemate State Man in the senior ranks, and kept on the Flat since last season's wide-margin Royal Ascot handicap win; no match for Giavellotto in the Yorkshire Cup and beaten 9l behind Kyprios at Royal Ascot; came into his own with a fine winning effort in the 2m Lonsdale Cup at York.

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Attentions concentrated on the Flat since his runaway handicap win at Royal Ascot last June; has not quite lived up to that dazzling display, this term running respectably in the Yorkshire Cup here and the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, seemingly stretched by 2m4f (good to firm) in the latter, before a lesser show at the Curragh five weeks ago; big player if back at his peak. |

Secured back-to-back wins in the 1m6f Group 2 Yorkshire Cup in May, beating Vauban in emphatic style with Al Qareem back in fourth; successfully dropped back to 1m4f to beat Arrest decisively under a 3lb penalty in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket in July; looks capable of making a race of it with Kyprios.

Fifth in Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot; beaten 8l in sixth in Irish Derby; exploited drop in class when making almost all to win a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran; readily mastered by the talented Crystal Black at Leopardstown 12 days later; stablemate of Kyprios goes beyond 1m4f for the first time.

Winner of seven races and generally dependable at stakes level; ended a sequence of placings, including twice behind the smart Alessio, when landing a Listed event over this trip at Hoppegarten five weeks ago; aiming very high now.

Solid Group-race form in Germany and beat the reopposing Nastaria in a Listed race over this trip at Hoppegarten in April; not at his best since Group 2 second over 2m at the same venue in May; made little impact in Deauville's Prix Kergorlay last month.
