3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Useful handicapper whose C&D record includes a creditable fourth in this race last year and a close third to Mezcala in June; however, he needs a revival of sorts, having not been in the same form since. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
7f specialist, not beaten far in Ascot's Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm) in first half of this year; never able to challenge over same C&D last time; this is less competitive and he should be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
9th 3 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Merely mid-division behind Aalto in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago but this C&D brings out the best in him, as evidenced by this season's close-up finishes in the Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm); could be bang there now back at Ascot. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
8yo who hasn't been at his best on his last three starts, most recently 8l third of seven over C&D (soft; has won on such ground over C&D); however, he has a solid record at Goodwood and is 3lb lower than when runner-up here (7f, good) in May; not ruled out. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two-time course winner, including this trip on soft, and he is on a manageable mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts and he may need slower ground at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Best with positive tactics, as when leading until well inside final 1f at Goodwood in May; only tenth at Epsom on Oaks day but that was a warm race and he's had a break since; goes well on soft ground; possibilities. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |
7/1 |
|
6 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his lengthy losing run when winning a 7f handicap at Haydock in July; similar form on a couple of occasions since and he ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago; one to consider back down into Class 3 company. |
9/1 |
|
17 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Listed win in Germany in October 2024 and went close at Sandown and Newbury last term; however, after a disappointing October he made it 0-10 for the season and this is a tough race in which to try to break his British duck. |
50/1 |
|
1 (10) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Smart on the continent, including on testing ground; 0-9 for Jamie Osborne but he has run some good races, including a near miss over C&D last month; not so good at Ascot since but returning to Class 3 will be in his favour. |
12/1 |
|
9 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Smart on the continent; some notable form in eight defeats for this yard, last time going down narrowly in a Class 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft; second-time cheekpieces); however, he was behind four of these here the time before. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Still smart but has drawn a blank since taking a Meydan Listed race in December 2023 and the likelihood is the wait for his next win will go on. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Won his 2yo maiden over C&D when based in Ireland; last win was a Meydan Listed race in 2023, but he's kept good company during his losing stretch; remains capable of smart form and might have gone close in a valuable 7f handicap at Galway had he not been caught in a pocket; considered. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Well-travelled and well-exposed 8yo is a long time winless; was running in stakes races in Dubai during the winter; held in handicap company in Britain last twice. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Recorded a personal best when seeing off 20 rivals at York in June; things haven't really gone his way since and he's one to consider from a good draw with cheekpieces given another go. |
10/1 |
|
18th 19 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Out of sorts at the time when well held in the Bronze Cup last year; returned to action with AW win in April and he looked as if he had more to offer at 6f on turf when winning at York (good) in June; things haven't worked out that way in two runs since but still time for him to do better. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Usually held-up and seems versatile ground-wise; has won on at Southwell (6f, AW) and York (6f, good) this summer, but he faded back at York last time and needs to take his form to a new level to come out on top today. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Third good handicap win of an excellent summer when shading a tight finish in 20-runner event at the York Ebor meeting (6f, good to soft; acts on good to firm); creditable fourth of 24 at the Curragh (6f, yielding) since; below par in two previous attempts over 7f but the way he saw it out when successful over an extended 6f at the Curragh earlier in the year provides hope that this flat 7f should be within range; his form is more than good enough to be highly competitive at Listed level. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Scurry win (beating Dark Thirty) in July came over slightly further off 98, and most recently recorded seventh career win when landing a big pot at York last month (Coul Angel third) on good-to-soft; still improving 5yo up 16lb this season but has to be respected. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
His career has been one of steady but consistent progress; won at Epsom (6f, soft) and the Currragh (6.2f, good to firm) this season and ran a sound race in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, perhaps finding that sharp test on fast ground inadequate; can't call upon course form but the weather has turned in his favour and he has another major handicap in him. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to his useful 2yo form when winning twice at Kempton (6f, AW) in the winter, but hasn't built on it and failed to beat a rival at Windsor (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; application of cheekpieces will need to bring about a resurgence. |
14/1 |
|
10th 2 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Improved AW form over 6f last winter, but wasn't on his game when last seen on sand in April and he made it 0-11 on grass when beaten about 5l at Newmarket in May; may have his share of weight on balance of turf form. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
0-11 on turf with his best efforts coming on slower than good; back up in the weights after a productive AW campaign and he has enough to prove back on turf, all the more so after his tame effort at Newcastle on Good Friday. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Good fourth in the Group 3 Commonwealth Cup Trial here (6f, good to firm) in April 2025 but his subsequent stand-out performances, including a commanding win at Haydock (7f) two starts ago, have come on soft ground; given today's forecast conditions it may prove best to look elsewhere. |
40/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Only 2-19 but well handicapped on his soft-ground form and back on a slower surface (good to soft) at Newbury three months ago (7f) he beat all bar last week's impressive Goodwood winner Forty Years On; should have every chance if fit enough to do himself justice. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (11) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival. |
