3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
9yo who gained his 12th and 13th successes in a Listed event at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in July and Group 2 at Deauville (1m4f, heavy) five weeks ago; he's had eight Group 3 wins but was fifth and second in the 2023 and 2024 renewals of this race; this running looks pretty competitive but one of his late bids is well capable of getting in the shake-up. |

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. |

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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Did well at Meydan last winter (twice a Group 3 third); couldn't match Al Aasy when returning at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in July, and although going down by a neck at Chester (1m6f, good to soft) in another Listed race six weeks ago was more like his peak form, it's possible that a bit further than this is now ideal for him. |

2nd 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who progressed into a really smart performer at up to 1m6f at Meydan over the winter and made a sound return to Britain when chasing home Al Aasy in a Beverley Listed race (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; going on the soft side of good would be an unknown but he holds good form claims. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
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. |

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. |

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. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
She has improved this year and, after a couple of lesser efforts, she was back in form when second over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; same mark and she'll need considering. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f) in June and it was a grand effort on the book when fourth of five in a Listed race at that venue (1m4f, also good to firm) next time; those efforts haven't been matched on her last three starts, however, including when beaten 14l in a Salisbury handicap last time; drops back down in grade. |

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. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Her two wins came in a handicaps at Kempton (1m3f, AW) and at this track over 11.5f on her next start (soft); then went close at Newmarket (1m4f, good) but she's struggled in Listed/Group company in four starts since; cheekpieces, worn last time, are now discarded and she drops in back in trip on her first start since July with better needed. |
66/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
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. |
