5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; possibly unsuited by the quick ground when only fifth of seven in Group 1 Eclipse at Sandown in July; previously better than ever when beaten neck by Ombudsman in Group 3 Brigadier Gerard over same C&D; 1-1 here and went down narrowly on only previous go over 1m4f; fancied to bounce right back to form, and looks the one to beat. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive colt whose record is 3-6 and who has never finished out of the first two; comfortably bagged AW Listed honours on seasonal debut then posted a highly notable effort in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over C&D (good) even allowing that he received 7lb from the neck winner Ombudsman, whose subsequent Royal Ascot performance puts him in contention for being the world's current best racehorse; sire won this race in 2020; brings strong claims to this first Group 1 attempt. |

2-2 (heavy/good) prior to finishing second in two Listed races last autumn (1m4f/1m2f, very soft/good to soft); reappeared with convincing Listed win at Kempton (1m2f, AW), an improved performance which bodes very well for his future prospects; acquired by Wathnan Racing since that last run; respected. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Listed runner-up at Kempton in April but he's in the line-up to act as an intended pacemaker for stablemate Ombudsman, which has also been the case in Group 1s on his last two starts. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |

Listed runner-up at Kempton in April but he was a pacemaker for stablemate Ombudsman in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last time, when well beaten at 66-1, and that's set to be his role again. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dual AW winner with some good form on grass, including at Listed level; however, this would be a big ask even if at her best, which hasn't been the case in her last two races. |
66/1 |

19th 3 (9) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins were on AW and she did well to finish third, in difficult circumstances, at Kempton (1m2f Listed, AW) on seasonal/stable debut; stiff task in Group 3 back on turf at Sandown since but she should still have done better than a remote last of five; fourth in this last year but off 7lb lower. |

5th 5 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Has gained both wins on AW and she did well to finish third, in difficult circumstances, at Kempton (1m2f Listed) on reappearance; ties in with Devil's Advocate on that bare form but isn't guaranteed to find the required further improvement back on turf. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Placed on both starts here and he continues to slide down the weights, but was beaten 17l into seventh of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last time and will need to do a good deal better than that; no headgear today. |
14/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
1m4f AW Listed winner for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW last winter but reverted to lesser efforts on his four outings this spring. |
66/1 |

7th 3 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
33/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
AW Listed winner for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been near that form since a Listed second last June; second and third places early this year came in small fields and other options look more solid. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner who made it 2-6 on turf when coming from off the pace to edge home in a typically deep 1m4f handicap at York's Ebor meeting where he reportedly appreciated getting back on softer ground (good to soft); this 5yo is still on the upgrade by the looks and could give Dubai Honour something to think about. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won in great style at Haydock (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) last July and put up a bold show over C&D this May; having been a non-runner at Royal Ascot where the good to firm ground was deemed unsuitable, he ran on it at Newmarket seven weeks ago and disappointed; can go well if back to peak form. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Fine second at York (1m2f, good to soft) last month and won at Doncaster (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; a 4lb penalty takes him to a new career-high mark but he looked better than ever last time and Karl Burke and Clifford Lee have combined to win the last two runnings of this race with topweights. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |

Twice runner-up in large fields over York's 1m2f this season, including at the Ebor festival (good to soft) on latest start; respected despite a return to his career-high mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (13) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
His two wins here came on good to firm but he also acts on soft; respectable seventh of 22 to Raammee in the John Smith's Cup over C&D (good to firm) latest; being eased 2lb is a help but it may not be quite enough. |
