Highclere Castle Gin Carnarvon Stakes (Listed Race)

Campaigned only on good/firmer; progressive 2yo campaign featured 6f wins at Newbury (Listed) and Newmarket (Group 1 Middle Park Stakes); may be back in top form with Ascot reappearance (Group 3) under his belt; major player, despite conceding weight all round.

Picked up a lot of prize-money during a busy 2yo season and ran respectably in 6f Group 3 at Ascot most recently; however, has probably already reached his ceiling, unlike some of today's rivals.

Has rather compromised his chance by taking a good hold in 7f events this term, latest at Newbury (Group 3) when still running creditably in a hood that is now removed; skipped the Guineas option and heads down the Commonwealth Cup route instead; 2-2 previously, both wins over 6f in May 2025, including Curragh Group 3; retains potential.

Seemed to run well on the bare figures at Newbury (Group 3) in latest 7f attempt and turf debut (raced on AW previously); however, needs to prove he can back up that form and cope with this new trip.

Gained one of his 2yo wins over C&D but had his limitations rather exposed in better races subsequently; gelded after final outing; stiff task on on reappearance, being bottom of this pack on ratings.
