Soldier's Tree
SOLDIER'S TREE has rapidly developed into a really smart performer since joining James Owen and is taken to confirm his Wokingham superiority over Binhareer and Mitbaahy.

Progressive, lightly-raced 5-y-o who has run 2 crackers since joining James Owen, finishing third in 6f Salisbury listed event in May before filling the same position in the ultra-competitive Wokingham at Royal Ascot. Surprise if he's reached his limit for this excellent stable. The one to beat.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat3/27Salisbury6fGoodFlat3/10Cork6fSoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Flat2/10Dundalk7fStandardFlat1/14Dundalk1mStandardFlat3/13- 1(4)BinhareerJ: Tom MarquandT: William Haggas2361-26Age 410/311/43/1

Ended 2025 with impressive victory in Coral Sprint Trophy at York (6f, good). Returned to York to finish an eyecatching close second at the Dante meeting in May and shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 27 in Wokingham at Royal Ascot since. Can make presence felt outside of handicaps.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat6/27York6fGoodFlat2/22York6fGoodFlat1/19Ayr6fSoftFlat6/25Ascot6fGood to SoftFlat3/19- 6(1)Symbol Of HonourJ: William BuickT: Charlie Appleby188-583Age 44/14/19/2

Won C&D listed race and Group 2 Sandy Lane at Haydock at the start of last summer. Hasn't reached the same heights since but returned to Britain with a respectable 2¾ lengths third of 11 to Paborus in Group 3 at Newcastle (6f) 3 weeks ago and is entitled to come on for that first start in 4 months.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle6fStandard / SlowFlat3/11Meydan5f 212yGoodFlat8/15Meydan5f 212yGoodFlat5/14Deauville6f 102yGoodFlat8/11Newmarket (july)6fGood to FirmFlat8/14- 7(6)Song of The ClydeJ: Rossa RyanT: Clive Cox125-417Age 39/29/25/1

Won a valuable sales race as a juvenile and took it up another notch to bag a C&D listed race (good) in May. Found out in Group 1 company at Royal Ascot since and will need improvement if he's to trouble some of these smart older rivals.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat7/22Newbury6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/10Newmarket (rowley)6fGoodFlat4/13Redcar5f 217yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat5/15Doncaster6f 111yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat2/21- 2(7)JasourJ: P.

Useful sort but without a win since 2024 reappearance. Normally consistent but ran no sort of race in Group 1 company at Royal Ascot last month. It's likely the wait for the next win will go on.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat17/18York6fGoodFlat6/13Newmarket (rowley)6fGoodFlat6/14Doncaster6f 2yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat2/12Newmarket (july)6fGood to FirmFlat6/14- 4(3)Noble ChampionJ: Kieran ShoemarkT: Ed Walker371P-59Age 414/114/116/1

Much improved when taking the Jersey Stakes at 2025 Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) but pulled up lame in the Lennox at Goodwood next time and well below par in 2 comeback outings this year.

Group 2 winner who has stood little racing in recent times but showed that plenty of ability remains when fifth (Soldier's Tree third, Binhareer sixth) of 27 in Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 28 days ago, nearest finish. First-time tongue tie worn there is retained.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat5/27Doncaster6f 2yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat12/12Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat2/5Newmarket (july)6fGoodFlat11/11Ascot6fGood to FirmFlat7/13
