3rd 1 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who has won the last two runnings of this race (good to firm/good to soft) and has run well on both starts this season, most recently posting a cosy Listed win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm); leading claims. |

1st 2 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dual Group 3 scorer at Sandown (1m2f) and Goodwood (1m4f) in 2025; resumed from six months off with a very good second of six in Newbury's John Porter Stakes in April so this veteran looks the one to beat dropped into Listed company here. |

2nd 3 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held up; eight Group 3 wins are already in the bag, including this race in 2021 (his only appearance in it); has a slightly mixed reappearance record but he was almost as good as ever with his two wins last term, including first time out, and a return to that level would make this 9yo the one to beat. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made it 3-4 when winning a 1m4f handicap at Meydan in December; posted a good third in Group 3 there in January but last of six in Group 1 there (1m4f) in March; yard has an excellent record in this so he's a likely player after a break. |

3rd 4 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won easily on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in June 2023 and again impressive when belatedly making it 2-2 in warm Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in December 2024; another absence subsequently and he's up in grade on his comeback, but this 4yo has bundles of potential for his powerful stable. |

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. |

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. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Missed 2025; started this season at Meydan and Longchamp but returned to British soil with career-best form 16 days ago when a close fourth of nine in 1m2f Listed race at this track; more to prove on softer than good and this is also his first appearance beyond 1m2f, but that latest run gave some encouragement; either way he needs to find a bit extra. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Steadily progressive filly who made the running when taking 1m2f handicaps (good to firm) at Doncaster and Beverley this year; didn't get the breaks at Pontefract last time and this return to 1m4f is no reason to rule her out. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Made the running when 1m2f handicap winner (good to firm) this year at Doncaster and Beverley; this is a less demanding task than her last two starts, so a return to winning ways can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Made the running when 1m2f handicap winner (good to firm) this year at Doncaster and Beverley; 25-1 and again set the pace when fourth of five in Listed race at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago, which was another good run but whether it's worth another 3lb rise in today's mark can be questioned. |

8st 11lb |
Looked on the up when landing a pair of handicaps (around 1m3f) at Kempton and Yarmouth last summer; below that form in 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood and Group 3 at York (1m6f) in May; cheekpieces added; faces another tough ask. |

6th 5 (2) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
From a useful middle-distance family and she won two handicaps at around 1m3f in the second half of 2025; however, she has come up well short in two attempts at Listed/Group 3 level, and she has a mountain to climb on form. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Looked firmly on the up when landing a pair of handicaps (around 1m3f) at Kempton and Yarmouth last autumn but she ended 2025 on a low note when tailed off in the St Simon Stakes at Newbury; this is no easy reappearance. |
