22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Not often seen on softer than good but he won on good to soft in June 2024; failed to shine at this meeting in 2024 or 2025, during a long losing run; he's broken that with two 2m wins on the AW this year, most notably in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle in June, and also second at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in May, but only mid-division behind Hopewell Rock at Goodwood three weeks ago; others seem more likely. |

7th 2 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2024 before embarking on a long losing run; he's broken that with two 2m wins on the AW this year, most notably in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last time; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in May was followed by a blip here; back up another 4lb since Newcastle but not entirely ruled out. |

1st 4 (14) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared at Kempton (2m, AW) in March with restored cheekpieces, which have been kept since; good second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing show at Goodwood five weeks ago. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Registered Group 1 wins at Longchamp last October (2m4f Cadran, very soft) and this May (near 2m, soft) and every bit as good when short-headed at Ascot (good to firm) earlier in May; 7-1 for the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) nine weeks ago and raced in second for a long way before cracking in the final 2f (vet reported signs of heat stress); concedes 3lb all round today but tried to go head-to-head with the best stayers around last time and they are now absent; good chance if back to form. |
2/1 |
|
11th 3 (11) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Huge improver last term, including second in the 1m6f handicap at this meeting and winning two Group events in the autumn, notably the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, very soft); every bit as good this season, as he gave Sweet William 2lb when short-headed here (2m, good to firm) and followed that with a narrow Group 1 win at Longchamp; today's company demands a bit more but the thorough test of stamina will suit and he's one to take seriously. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Much improved last year, best effort to land the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, soft) in October; close second in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m, good) was a fine start to this campaign and his run on good to firm at Royal Ascot last June, although subsequently eclipsed, looked excellent at the time; needs respect but concedes weight all round. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful Flat stayer who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts; left behind by wide-margin winner when second here (2m6f, soft) last month but that was still a good effort and he's a contender over this shorter trip. |
5/1 |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful Flat performer and was running okay (beaten 5l in the Chester Cup) until below par last time with a visor back on (now discarded); two respectable efforts over hurdles last year, notably when second in an Aintree maiden; every chance; has no clear ground preferences. |
7/4 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 46y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Often ridden by Zak Wheatley; slow starts have been interfering with what used to be a front-running role; best known for exploits at Chester, admittedly last winning any race in July 2023; ran creditably off this mark in good handicaps both starts this term, sixth in the Chester Cup last time, but he was third in this race last year and may come up a bit short once again. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not the most consistent but won off this mark over C&D in October and ran well at Lingfield on penultimate outing; a bit below form when hooded first time 15 days ago in a small field; player if it's one of his good days. |
25/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not the most consistent but won off 1lb lower mark at Kempton (2m) in October; returned to form when third of eight at Lingfield (2m) two weeks ago; first-time hood now goes on and another to consider. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Saw off reopposing stablemate Enemy when successful over 2m at Kempton in October but down the field in a series final there at the beginning of December and eased off after hanging left under pressure at Newcastle last month; hard to know what to expect. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
On a long losing run and never a threat here two weeks ago, but he'd previously been beaten just a nose in the Queen Mother's Cup over C&D in June; none too reliable but a danger to all if he's on a going day. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 17 races to March 2025; however, he went down by only a nose over C&D (good) last month and was caught too far back in a Class 2 at Ayr since; bold show likely with his sights lowered. |
6/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 16 races to March 2025; however, he's been second on three of his last four starts, most recently at York (1m4f, good) last Saturday; slow ground is probably fine; each-way chance. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Course winner but he's yet to hit top form this season and came in a never-dangerous third of five in 1m6f handicap at Thirsk 18 days ago; not easy to make a case for despite a falling mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Eight wins at up to 2m2f and he's versatile ground-wise; his last success was off 5lb higher at Catterick (1m4f) last autumn but he's been out of sorts this season and was tailed off at York last time; now drops back in grade but he needs a major revival. |
