23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive in 2025, winning the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); also won on good to soft last year; it was his first run since when down the field at York recently and he may have needed it, but a dramatic transformation is required just ten days on. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Has built up a good strike rate over 5f/5.5f and registered a neck success at Royal Ascot (good to firm) upped to Group 1 level when last seen; landed a handicap at this meeting 12 months ago; very progressive and has possibilities provided he's as effective back at 6f. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Made outstanding progress in 5f handicaps and the way he raced to the front at York (good to firm) in May showed that a switch to Group company wouldn't be at all fanciful; unable to show what he was made of behind Mgheera in a Group 2 at Haydock (5f, good) since, as a gap shut as he was about to go through it, and he remains one to keep on the right side. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Far from disgraced in last three appearances (various grades) but finished behind some of today's rivals in those contests and needs to raise his game somewhat; on a ten-race losing sequence that goes back to Group 3 honours two years ago. |

6th 6 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very useful 6f performer who registered last success in Group 3 contest at Ascot two years ago; has Group 1 form, including creditable sixth in the 2025 July Cup; made a solid start to his 2026 campaign with 1l second to Aramram at Doncaster; again likely to be thereabouts. |

Not the easiest of rides (sometimes slowly away and can pull hard) but he's smart on his day and he wasn't beaten far when sixth in the July Cup at Newmarket last summer; now having first run since and this is a significant drop in grade; stablemate of James's Delight and gives Clive Cox a strong hand. |

Classy sprinter for Clive Cox and won a Listed and a Group 2 for that yard; decent run on debut for this yard at Dundalk before disappointing in Cork Listed race next time on soft; much better over C&D last time when a 2.75l sixth behind Mission Central. |

9st 13lb |
Won Listed (including C&D on good to soft) and Group 3 races before two-year absence; out of his depth in Group 1 and 3 races since but sights were lowered when he was a more encouraging fourth of ten in the Shergar Cup over C&D (good to firm) last month; back on dry land after another Group 1 venture since and can't dismiss. |

10st 1lb |
Won two 5f Listed races and a Group 3 (AW) in 2022; missed two years subsequently and well back in two Group races this summer; his fourth of ten at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago was more like it but this looks too big a task. |

Hard to weigh up after being absent for two years and then finishing down the field in Group races over this C&D and at Sandown, but he's well treated on the pick of his form, including a cosy win in this race in 2022, and he has the benefit of Hollie Doyle in the saddle. |

Not beaten far in two 5f Group 1s last August/September (good to firm/yielding) and he finally got off the mark on turf when making all in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was his first run since being gelded and he could be tough to reel in. |

1st 5 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Often leads; he's pure quality on the AW (4-4) but has had trouble sustaining his effort on turf, even allowing for being first home on his side in a Group 2 at Goodwood in August; gelded since last seen but whether he'll appreciate this stiff finish is questionable. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Made it 4-4 on AW with a Listed win last November; only one win from nine races on turf; however, comes into the reckoning now following an excellent fourth behind Asfoora in the Nunthorpe. was previously on the wrong side at Goodwood, in a race in which She's Quality was second; might not want it too soft. |

Still capable of classy form, having been placed in the last two runnings of the 5f Group 1 at Royal Ascot; however, he's on a losing run, being 0-8 since landing the Sprint Cup at Haydock in 2023; getting on and returns to action as an 8yo. |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has made into a high-class, dependable sprinter and he wasn't beaten far in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June; far from disgraced in another Group 1 at Deauville last time when the extended 6f possibly stretched his stamina; all his wins have come on good ground or firmer so rain could jeopardise his chance, but he's the one to beat on form in first-time blinkers. |
13/8 |

8 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 win over 6f in 2023; fourth, behind a couple of reopposing rivals, in this race 12 months ago; two good runs this year (Meydan/Royal Ascot) and returning to 6f no bad thing; should be in the thick of it. |

Acts on flat tracks but he comes into his own when tackling a stiff test at 5f, as when winning this race last year, taking C&D record to 2-2, and roaring home to win a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; cheekpieces worn in October are discarded; yard in form; not to be underestimated. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time winner at Group 3 level, two of them this year, including when defying a penalty at Sandown in July (5f, good to firm); ran a stormer when fifth in the Nunthorpe four weeks ago; versatile ground-wise and he should make another bold bid. |
3/1 |

5th 5 (14) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Can look good over 5f, as when winning either side of a winter break and, more recently, when outstaying She's Quality in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; however, he's had some wobbles too and his fifth to Arizona Blaze in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time was one of them; quite capable of a good show on his best form and has been supplemented. |

Top-class form when third in Group 1 Nunthorpe at York and when winning Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, both in 2024; rusty on last year's reappearance but showed he retains plenty of ability when fourth of 20 in Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot on only subsequent outing; leading claims if showing his best after layoff, although that's not guaranteed. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Dabbles at both sprint trips but 5f on fast ground suits him well as he showed both when finishing an excellent third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm) in August and for his win in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar (firm) in November; should come on plenty for last month's reappearance and the weather has been kind. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Two wins at York (5f, good to soft) last year before fine third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe there (5f, good to firm) and he won the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (5f, firm) in November; lacks a recent run and carries a 5lb penalty but holds leading claims if returning at the top of his game. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Something of an enigma but his ability has never been in question; hasn't managed a win since April 2022 but he ran a cracker in the Stewards' Cup, coming home in fifth but doing best of the far-side group; failed to back it up behind Northern Ticker at York four weeks ago and risky, even with Warren Fentiman taking off a useful 5lb. |
16/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Competitive in Group 1s in his prime; not the force of old but his mark has dropped and he was first in the far-side group when fifth to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last time; a long losing sequence is a concern but he'll be very dangerous if building on Goodwood. |

Close third in Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock 12 months ago and made most to win Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) last summer; well below par all four starts since (short of room in Newmarket Group 3 on latest) but down in grade here and may well bounce back. |

Carries a 5lb penalty today and she was down the field on her comeback at Newmarket three weeks ago; however, she may have needed that run and is entitled to respect having won two 5f Group 1s last season, namely the Nunthorpe at York (good to firm) and the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp (very soft). |

Superb Australian 7yo who has had a career to be proud of, with multiple wins in home country and Europe, laying down the law in the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot in 2024 and adding further top-level wins in the Nunthorpe (good to firm) at York and the Abbaye (very soft) at Longchamp in 2025; has stayed in Britain over the winter but connections expect her to improve for the run and that the stiff uphill finish will test her. |

Top-class Australian mare, highly durable, winner of 11 of her 27 races; landed the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot last year; could only dead-heat for fifth in this season's edition and was well below best at Goodwood (She's Quality, second); returned to form with a vengeance when taking the Nunthorpe in emphatic; sets the standard; two wins on soft in 2023. |

She has made giant strides since making her handicap debut off a mark of 69 at Haydock last July, winning five times, most recently in Listed race at Haydock in May (5f, good); only ninth at Royal Ascot but she raced furthest from the main action and still looked in peak form; drying ground wouldn't be ideal, though, and she has the widest stall to overcome. |

Progressive 4yo who made great strides in the autumn with a hat-trick at about 5f on heavy and soft ground; a recent Listed win at Haydock (5f, good) suggests she's still improving, but this is likely to be hard labour. |

Very reliable mare who stood a tough 2024 season with fortitude, regularly on the premises in the top sprints, including when fourth, having every chance, in this one (the first of two runs at the meeting); she achieved more when going down only narrowly from a poor draw in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (5f, good to firm) in August; sold for 3,000,000gns in December; returned to action with a Group 1 win at Meydan (6f) in April and she looks set for another big run at the top level. |

A record of two wins from 16 turf starts in no way does justice to the Group 1 form she's capable of, such as a close second in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot and a third to Asfoora in the Nunthorpe at York (both 5f, good to firm); the likely fast ground is a blessing and has good claims if on song. |

Won 2yo Group 3 for Johnny Murtagh at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in 2023, and close fifth on stable debut in Group 3 at York (6f, good to soft) last July; that was her sole run last year and she's unraced on fast ground, but she has the ability to be involved if returning at the top of her game. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Smart sprinting 2yo whose four 5f wins included a Group 3 at Longchamp (good to soft) and Group 2 at Doncaster (good), both from the front; has to put a disappointing reappearance at York (favourite) behind him in this much better race. |

9st 9lb |
Reappears carrying a 5lb penalty but he was a Listed, Group 3 and Group 2 winner last season, and his defeat of Big Mojo and Magnum Force in the Flying Childers reads extremely well; strong claims. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Narrow winner of first two races as a 2yo but, even allowing for his second in a Group 3 (extended 5f, good to soft) in the first of two runs at Chantilly this season, he faces a steep uphill task in this first run over a bare 5f. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His best form is at 5f and he hasn't been at the top of his game since a Listed win at this meeting last May; however, he kept on well for third at Goodwood (5f, good) recently, suggesting the return to 6f is worth exploring, and his two career wins have both come here; a visor goes on. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Bagged 5f York listed event last May; off seven months/gelded before posting an encouraging eighth of 14 in 5f Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago, nearest finish having lost ground when hampered soon after start; not without interest off a reduced mark. |

More miss than hit in 2025, winning 5f Listed race at York (good to firm) in May but failing to make the frame otherwise; now returns from a gelding operation on a handy mark and with his stable in form; big chance if he's on a going day. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 3lb |
British raider won twice at Meydan in the spring, landing a Group 2 and a Group 3 (both at 5f); came up short in a 6f Group 1 there in April; below-par last twice on turf but he is 2-3 on the AW so could rebound in first-time cheekpieces after an 111-day break. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in novice company on AW as a 2yo; form took off in Dubai earlier in the year, winning a Group 3 and a Group 2 over 5f; he has struggled in Group 1 races on his last two starts, though, and his 5lb penalty could leave him vulnerable today. |
8/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Had a promising, rather than stellar, 2yo season but he raised the bar when breaking the 5f track record in a Group 2 at Meydan (good to firm) in January, without having too hard a time either; he wasn't so overbearing when following up next time but this trip will suit better than the 6f he ran over when eighth to Believing there in April; not dismissed. |
