1st 17 (13) |
17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Went close at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) in May and hasn't run badly in competitive handicaps on his next two starts, including the Royal Hunt Cup over C&D, but he needs something extra in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) if he's to come out on top today. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Three handicap wins last year (1m, good/good to firm) and runner-up at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) in May on his second start this season; merely mid-division in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time but he's not ruled out after a break; unproven on slow ground. |
14/1 |

11th 15 (14) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
A regular in notable handicaps, bagging three (over 1m) during his progressive period last term and proving resurgent when close second to Erzindjan at Newmarket (1m1f) latest start; first home in the unfavoured group in the Britannia at this meeting 12 months ago; looks set to go well. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won a three-runner maiden at Doncaster in May on second start; well beaten in the Group 2 Dante at York (good to firm) in May, with better form for minor honours at 1m2f (on softer than good) in his two starts since but this race requires a chunk of improvement. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made debut in April and won at Doncaster (1m2f, good) on second start; returned from break with front-running Listed third at Deauville last month (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on softer) and he could still have more to offer after just four starts; player. |
7/4 |
|
10th 4 (10) |
15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't race last year having had an injury, and not entered in the Derby; second to subsequent Esher Cup winner on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and easily won three-runner maiden at 2-13 at Doncaster (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; takes huge leap in grade today but this 425,000gns yearling, whose dam won a Group 2, could have lots more to offer; not ruled out each-way. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Justified favouritism in maiden hurdle last week; Flat form this year features Newbury success that completed a 1m4f Class 4 double; however, faces a stiffer task off current mark in this grade. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Showed promise when making the frame on all three hurdle starts last winter; won twice on the Flat during the summer following wind surgery and looks sure to make his presence felt back hurdling. |
7/4 |
|
15th 11 (15) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Had wind surgery in January; he's since had three runs this summer and something has clicked in a major way on last two occasions as he registered a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick and had no problem making all in a five-runner race at Newbury (again 1m4f on good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty and this is a vastly more competitive race, but never better. |

Three wins for James Owen this year, the latest over 1m here (good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

1st 2 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 7f winner this season; looked as good as ever when clear second to progressive rival at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago but recent 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten in the Group 1 Irish St Leger at the Curragh only 11 days ago (1m6f, good; first run since being gelded); needs to quickly leave that run behind but he was a good third in the Group 3 Silver Cup at York (1m6f, good to firm) in July and will be a strong contender if rediscovering that form; the cheekpieces adopted last time are retained; tongue-tie left off. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Progressed very well last term, culminating in his close third in Group 2 Great Voltigeur here (1m4f, good to firm) in August, until not so good trying 1m6f on final outing; rallied when close second in 1m4f French Listed event on reappearance but needs to bounce back from a tame show in Newbury Group 3; tongue tied first time on this second attempt at 1m6f. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |

Progressed very well as 3yo last term, culminating in his close third in Group 2 Great Voltigeur at York (1m4f, good to firm) in August, until not so good trying 1m6f in Listed race on final outing; always close up and rallied when close second in 1m4f Listed event at Longchamp on reappearance; may well have more to give but it is needed in today's company. |

Gosden 3yo who has shown improvement since switched to handicaps, winning at Yarmouth then good third over C&D; subsequently gelded; may do better still; one for the shortlist. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Clearly underestimated by the handicapper when showing a willing attitude at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in late April; he's in a lot deeper here and off a 7lb higher mark, so has to step up again; that's perfectly feasible, however. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Four wins from 13 starts, the most recent success coming on the AW at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April; may have needed his first start for 98 days when seventh there last time but he does have a bit of an inconsistent profile. |

Four wins from 12 starts; successful reappearance over C&D (made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) in May; given a break since a lesser run at Carlisle at the end of May and that C&D win shows he's well capable when fresh; enters calculations. |

Form figures of 121611 in his six handicaps, with 2m aiding the cause at Newbury (good to firm) when he made all in cheekpieces on last two outings; up another 5lb but no shock if he again proves very tough to pass. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Sent handicapping this term and has won three of those five starts, last time upped to 2m when making all to justify favouritism with first-time cheekpieces in a five-runner race over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago; raised another 5lb but he's the only 3yo in this field and he's progressing. |

24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Up in trip to score on reappearance/handicap debut in June (Wolverhampton, 1m4f) and doubled his tally when winning at Chelmsford (1m5f, also AW) at the start of this month; beaten on turf over 1m6f (good) either side of that but first time was creditable effort and it was a much better race than this 19 days ago; cheekpieces go on and he should stay this far. |

On a competitive mark on last year's form for Tom Clover; after a spell over hurdles for his new yard he was gelded and returned with a respectable fourth of nine at Windsor a fortnight ago, when shaping as though he may have needed the run; he's one of two for a stable with an excellent record in this race, including wins in the last two runnings; could play leading role. |
