8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Better than ever when landing a second 7f Goodwood success of the year in 20-runner event at last week's Glorious meeting (good to firm), with the reopposing Pellitory well behind; a further 4lb rise seems unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this thriving 5yo. |

1st 11 (10) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins last year and he won 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in May; solid fourth to Colombier at Epsom next time and it was a narrow career best when second of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago; will probably need another pb but that's not out of the question and Ryan Moore rides; considered. |
15/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |

10st 2lb |
Arrives in good form having won at Goodwood (7f, good) then made the frame in competitive field at Epsom (7f, good to soft); however, he remains on a career-high mark and has to concede weight all round. |

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 |

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. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time winner (AW/turf) who is largely consistent; good second over C&D in most recent attempt in this sphere; never gets much respite from the assessor but holds solid claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Effective on good to firm and good to soft; dual Tapeta winner who scored at Yarmouth (7f) in April and was a creditable second behind a rival who got first run at Kempton last month; usually held-up and has claims if he gets a good tow into the race. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has shown best form this season at Goodwood, namely three consecutive in-the-frame efforts that amount to knocking on the door; only midfield at Doncaster last time but enters calculations back here. |
4/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Held up these days; four AW wins (7f/1m) but none since 2024; 0-17 on turf but he's been competitive at Goodwood (7f/1m) on last two outings and was a close fourth in this race last year; blinkered once (below form) last year and now it's a visor which replaces his usual cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Hampered early last time when bidding to enhance his good record at Epsom; effective at Leicester and ran respectably (fifth of 15) in this race 12 months ago; has to deal with a 3lb higher mark back here. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever when winning at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June; he was returning from a ten-week break when finishing behind Aurora Majesty at Southwell 15 days ago; 2-3 at the track and won't mind how slow the ground gets; no surprise to see him go well. |
6/1 |
|
8th 14 (13) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Took strike-rate to 5-16 when winning comfortably at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) ten weeks ago, looking better than ever; 7lb higher in this classier contest but has run well here before and he's not easily knocked. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Won twice on the AW last October including over C&D, but highly tried since and hasn't been up to it; still 9lb above her last winning mark and needs to come down more. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Back from absence with two 7f AW wins last autumn, then set fire to her mark by running well in Listed events; highly tried on first two starts in 2026 before running quite promisingly at Goodwood (7f, good; first turf handicap) last week, considering she never had a clear run; can fare better. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Similar type to Shiplake, with still having to prove that best AW form can be transferred back to turf; not exactly solid on 2026 efforts anyway and doesn't look the percentage call in this competitive field. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; won debut on Southwell AW; close fourth on handicap debut there (1m) last October is markedly better than what he's done in three starts since, but he made late gains over 7f at Musselburgh on latest start to prompt some hope given today's step up in trip. |
18/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Successful 7f debut at Southwell; just a handful of starts since, showing useful form when fourth of ten on handicap debut in a warm race on Southwell AW in October only to run poorly next time; likely to come on for last week's Kempton run but now needs to show he can hack it on turf. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with C&D victory in November; failed to add to it this this season and signed off for Clive Cox with a below-par eighth in 1m Newbury handicap in July; needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won off 2lb higher in Class 4 on AW last November; has failed to land a blow in Class 3 races since returned to turf but this drop back in grade may have a positive effect; fairly useful in this sphere as a 2yo. |

9st 11lb |
Two 7f AW wins last winter, both in fine style, but he has found it tougher going in good company since; pleasing return from a nine-week break when fourth at Southwell 19 days ago and the third has come out and won well since; drops in class and should go well. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

4th 2 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

4th 1 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won twice last summer (1m/7f, good to firm) and it was an encouraging reappearance when third here (6f) in May; saw little daylight at Goodwood a fortnight later but he weakened when last of 11 at Doncaster (again 7f) seven weeks ago; hard to predict what he'll come up with this time. |

His neck success in 17-runner Ascot handicap (7f, good to firm) in July was a bolt from the blue but he couldn't back it up when slowly away and tailed off at Sandown last month; did run well on both previous starts over C&D, including when fourth in this last year, but he's risky. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |

Without a win since April 2024 and his best run for this stable came when fourth of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) in July; below that level in two starts since, including one over this C&D, and others are more likely to give their running. |

Back to form when taking advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at Chester (6f) next time but good ground offers a plausible excuse and this stiff 5f will suit; confidence would increase with every drop of rain. |
