Aomori City (FR)
Aomori City won two of six starts on turf, both over 6f – 7f on good ground, including the Group 2 HKJC World Pool Vintage Stakes at Goodwood in Jul 2024. The colt won a Class 5 novice at Nottingham in Jun 2024 on his debut and followed up at Goodwood on his second start. He finished 12 of 16 at Longchamp in May 2025 in the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Poulains. Each win came on a first visit to the course.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 103
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →
