28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Not disgraced in last year's Northern Dancer over C&D (good; likely softer) on sole start here; also won twice at Ascot (good to firm) last term; back to form on last two starts, latterly when beaten 2l at Musselburgh (also 1m4f, good) on Sunday; should make his presence felt. |

Won off just 1lb lower at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last August, his second win there last year; 0-12 on AW but close third on latest start (first with tongue tied) was up with his best form; should go well. |

8st 4lb |
Ex-Irish mare who secured an AW hat-trick once upped to 2m across December and January but suffered odds-on reversal when dropped to 1m6f in bid for the four-timer; drops further in trip returned to turf (had form on grass in Ireland) on this first start for three months; others more persuasive. |

10st 4lb |
Record of 3-3 since upped to 2m, most recently scoring readily at Lingfield last week; incurs 5lb penalty but Jude Fernandes takes off 7lb; ran well over C&D prior to the hat-trick; progressing well on AW and commands respect. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed over 1m4f at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood last summer but returned from a gelding operation to win at Haydock (sole run at 1m6f, good to soft) in September; made a satisfactory reappearance at Epsom 15 days ago and is still lightly raced, so could have more to offer; good ground and softer would probably be better for him than good to firm. |
4/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won heavy-ground Goodwood maiden at two and it was a convincing success on last year's reappearance/handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) one year ago; disappointed at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood subsequently but had been gelded when back on the scoresheet at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September; drops in trip for this comeback but not fully exposed. |

1st 1 (3) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
1-3 but all out in Goodwood maiden (heavy) this time last year; won in clearcut style on handicap debut at Sandown (also 1m2f, good; made most) on his reappearance in April; up to 1m4f but didn't shine in big festivals at Ascot and Goodwood subsequently; excuses both times, however, and there's plenty in his pedigree to suggest this trip will suit even better; definitely not one to give up on. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Did well to win at York (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in August but only fourth of five in the Great Metropolitan at Epsom (also 1m4f, good, Topteam behind) 17 days ago; that was a shade underwhelming given he'd won the race in 2025 but was a little weak in the market so maybe better can be expected this time. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Last year's winner (good) who ran well in two other appearances over C&D; did well to win at York (1m4f, good to firm) under John Egan in August and arrives here fit after three creditable efforts at Meydan; firm contender. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Had a busy 12 months but right on the money when staying on best last time at York (1m4f) and this stiff finish will suit him well, as it has done before; only 3lb higher. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club. |
