Caballo De Mar (G)

Enjoyed a coming-of-age season in 2025, the last of his 6 wins coming in the Group 1 Prix du Cadran (2½m, good to soft) at Longchamp. Looks set for another productive campaign judged on reappearance second under William Buick in the Dubai …

Sweet William (G)

[V]
Very smart and consistent stayer who was again a feature in the big cup races last season, winning the Doncaster Cup in September and signing off with a fine second to stablemate Trawlerman on Champions Day here. Very much the one to beat.

Ascending (G)
Progressive in 2025, bagging the 2½m Ascot Stakes at Royal meeting here before an excellent second of 22 in Ebor at York (1¾m, good to firm). Again performed with credit when sixth in the Irish Cesarewitch on final run of last season but n…

Beylerbeyi (G)
[T]
Enjoyed fine 2025 campaign, the highlight of which was his victory in the Cesarewitch. Remains a stayer on the up judged on solid all-weather efforts in recent months and, though more will be needed now tackling Group company, he may not h…

Deira Mile (G)
Cracking fourth in 2024 Derby and also made the frame in the St Leger later that season. However, he's not been seen since underperforming in a couple of runs in the Middle East early last year (gelded in the interim) is hard to warm to on…

Dubai Future (G)
[P]
Missed whole of 2024 but resumed in fine fettle early last year, winning a couple of valuable Group races at Meydan, including the Dubai Gold Cup on first crack at 2m. It's been a struggle since, though, and he was well held when bidding t…

Tabletalk (G)
Bagged a major York handicap in 2024 and did little wrong in pattern company last term, despite failing to add to his tally. Gelded ahead of solid second upped to 15f in a very valuable Group 2 in Saudi Arabia where Tarriance, who is 10 lb…

Tarriance (G)
Fine pedigree and made good strides last season, most notably landing the Melrose Handicap at the York Ebor Festival. Put in his place in the St Leger on final run of 2025 (gelded after) but back on track when a close third in a Group 2 in…
