15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has come into his own in a major way; second on good to firm at Newmarket (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) in his last two starts; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens; climbing the ladder and although another major step up is required against Dubai Honour on this move out of handicaps, he should be highly competitive against the rest. |
6/1 |

2nd 8 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Late developer who ran once as a 2yo; the waves made last season have gathered scale in handicaps this year, as he backed up his comfortable AW win (1m3f) with a length defeat by Daiquiri Bay at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; led for the most part); he clearly needs to find more again (off 2lb higher) to gain his revenge on the winner but these Gosden runners have a tendency to get better and better; the stable has won this twice since 2021. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won a maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance last term, before failing to go on in his next two starts; however, he was gelded later in the autumn and led 2f out for an impressive 3l win when back in action five weeks ago in useful handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW); 9lb higher today but likely to stay 1m4f and, after just five races, could still have potential. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Added to his excellent course record with two more wins this year, including this trip; another excellent effort here when chasing home Gamrai over 1m3f in March, with next-time-out winners behind in third/fourth; fair fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) when last seen in June and much respected back at Kempton. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack. |
16/1 |

13th 9 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |

Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown useful handicap form on AW/turf this year, including two wins over 1m2f; failed to see out 11.5f on soft ground in Listed grade last time; possibilities back down in distance, provided he lives up to his name and responds well to the removal of hood (worn all 13 starts). |
4/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just ahead of Warrant Holder in a York handicap last time when neither were at their best; lightly raced 4yo with two 1m2f handicap wins to his name this season and, when second on good to soft at Epsom, he beat all bar a Group horse; stays this far. |
10/1 |
|
9th 1 (20) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who made it two wins for the year when scoring easily at Chester (10.3f, good) in May then finished second of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, albeit no match for the highly progressive winner; yard has won three of the last seven runnings and he could be a contender. |

Dual course winner in the past and completed a double elsewhere in April; however, finished behind Tony Montana at Glorious Goodwood most recently and is rather weighted to the hilt off current mark. |
14/1 |
|
10th 13 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has won twice at this track, albeit in very different races to this; 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April and ran well again when third at Sandown this month on good to firm; each-way player if he's in the same form. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Merely mid-division in a handicap at Hamilton (1m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago and he has something to find in this field even on his best form; however, he looked like he was one to follow when winning a C&D handicap (good to soft) 12 months ago and perhaps the first-time blinkers will unlock some improvement; he's not discounted. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time turf winner at up to 1m2f (good/good to soft), latest at Ayr last September; best of three runs this season when third at Southwell last time (1m3f); quite interesting on first try at 1m4f. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has won four races and still looks to be improving; ran better than it looked when fifth of 13 in the Rosebery on his reappearance at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in March and looked in need of a return to further when fourth of 11 at Chester (1m2f, good) in May; off three months, but has won fresh; high on list. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
A good run of form last summer included a close second of 18 in a valuable 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good; unraced on slower); however, he's failed to live up to that form since gelded and first-time cheekpieces (discarded now) may have been more of a hindrance than a help last time; capable but risky. |
12/1 |
|
12th 5 (13) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last July but well beaten in C&D Cambridgeshire in September; failed to settle and suffered interference on return, doing pretty well in the circumstances, but disappointing favourite at Pontefract 11 days ago; connections turn to cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive in last year's 3yo campaign, going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in July; did pretty well to finish sixth on last month's return at Kempton (1m3f, AW) where he failed to settle and suffered interference; that run may have got the freshness out of him; on the shortlist. |

Generally disappointing since winning off 4lb higher on AW in February but was denied a clear run when midfield in competitive Haydock handicap (1m, good) three weeks ago and enters calculations in this lower grade. |
7/1 |

6th 14 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Unplaced last five starts, not really finishing his races; carries obvious risks but his three turf wins came over 1m on good to firm ground and he now returns after a wind operation; he's well handicapped if the surgery has had a positive effect. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Very capable off this mark when on his game but he refused to race on final run of last season and hasn't looked overly keen to get involved this campaign. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

4-9 over C&D including landing this race three years ago, but his starts have increasingly become a problem, flatly refusing to do so here in October; too risky. |

|
10th 9 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Increasing tendency to blow the start last season culminated in a refusal to race on final appearance; that was at Newbury, where he'd previously been at his best; he's contrastingly 0-6 on AW and none of his form in this sphere lives up to today's mark; probably best watched. |

Highly reliable in the last two seasons and he's never been better than in recent outings, mostly at 1m4f but also over 1m2f at Glorious Goodwood on penultimate start; should be bang there. |

5th 4 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

Had three of these behind when winning this last year off 11lb lower (good to firm); looks even better now, probably not seen to best effect behind Sportingsilvermine at Newmarket before a sterling effort at Glorious Goodwood over an inadequate 1m2f; likes it here and he's hard to knock. |
100/30 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |

Runner-up in 2024 on his only appearance at this track; reliable sort who hit new heights over 1m4f on last three outings, so this drop back in trip asks a question but he needs respect. |

1m4f AW Listed winner (also acts on good to soft and softer) for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW this winter but he's been below par on his last three starts; soft ground would enhance his cause but others are more solid. |

Rarely seen on softer than good but it used to be okay (2023); made the frame only once (Saudi Arabia in February) from seven starts this year; admittedly hampered at Newmarket six weeks ago on latest outing, a race in which he ran well last term before finishing fifth in this; 7lb lower than 12 months ago and has a place squeak but there's been no win for over three years. |
