29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
A typically progressive late developer from this yard who never ran at two; won four in a row last season before finishing second in the Group 3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes (1m4f, soft) in October; continuing on an upward curve this year and wasn't seen to best effect when the beaten favourite in a steadily-run French Group 3 three weeks ago (1m4f, good); big shout, even with the extra weight. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won a novice and three Ascot 1m4f handicaps on varied ground last June-September; pipped a below-form Hamish for second in Ascot Group 3 on final outing last year and resumed his progress when he reappeared with a close third in Newbury Group 3 (1m4f, good) in April; that puts him into very serious contention today. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
10yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including at Newbury in October when last seen; has been kept to ground softer than good for a long time; kicked off that 2025 campaign with a win in this race and this star has good chance to repeat the dose. |

1st 3 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, one over C&D; beaten a head in this race on heavy going in 2022; produced a rather disappointing show in Ascot Group 3 three weeks ago but had Listed wins over Military Academy and Mount Atlas earlier this term and holds a major chance if returning to form. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including this race in 2022; also won 1m4f Listed races on last three outings, including in a good scrap involving Military Academy at Goodwood in June and when that rival disappointed at Chester three weeks ago; all of his turf starts in the last six years have been on softer than good; back up to Group 3 but with leading form claims again and a tremendous attitude. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who has had only six races, winning four; not discredited in April 2025 (1m2f; best form at 1m4f) when last seen but this graduation from handicaps seems a stiff task and it's also his turf debut. |
25/1 |

Lightly raced 6yo who won going away at Southwell (1m4f) most recently; taking record to 4-5; beat Old Harrovian there (1m3f) the time before; improving and commands respect. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won Group 3 at Saint-Cloud (10.5f, good) last May; respectable efforts at Listed/Group 3 level for current yard this summer but will need to pull out more for the longer trip if he's to resume winning ways. |

7th 6 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-French 4yo who won Group 3 at Saint-Cloud (10.5f, good) last May; respectable Listed efforts on last two starts (including C&D) but hasn't shown enough on those outings to suggest he'll be making an impact today. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Missed most of 2024 and a narrow Listed win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last August was the only time that he's recaptured his best; even that isn't nearly enough to win this and he trailed in last behind Tenability on reappearance at Goodwood last month; stablemate of Rebel's Romance and might make the running. |
33/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
2024 Sandown Classic Trial winner (good to soft) who missed the rest of that season; underwhelming on first four starts last year and ran particularly poorly at Glorious Goodwood (sole visit here) but he ended that campaign by winning narrowly in a four-runner Listed race at Windsor in August; needs to build on that but should stay 1m4f. |
7/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent in the market for last year's Epsom Derby after winning the Sandown Classic Trial (1m2f, good to soft), but not seen again until Meydan in March this year; hasn't really threatened in four Group races since returning and ran particularly poorly at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; this is a drop in grade but he still has plenty to prove; entered in the Irish St Leger. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Won Meydan handicap (9.5f, good) in March but has been mostly treading water since, finishing last of eight in Group 3 at Goodwood four weeks ago; back down in grade but others still make more appeal. |

8th 4 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won Meydan handicap (9.5f, good) in March and ran well in defeat in Listed races on next two starts (including here over 1m2f); however, no match for Al Aasy in Listed race at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago and others have more substance to their claims. |
20/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very useful gelding who landed 9.5f handicap in Meydan in March; posted a good fourth in Goodwood Listed event in May but last of six in similar company there (1m4f) last month; needs to bounce back. |
