31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive; unlucky second in the 2025 Cambridgeshire and fared best of the far-side runners in this year's Royal Hunt Cup; justified favouritism in the Coral Challenge at Sandown (1m, good to firm) and is 2lb well in under a small penalty for that deserved change of luck; respected. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Threatening to win a good prize; unlucky second in last year's Cambridgeshire and finished third, best of the far-side runners, in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; 1-1 at Sandown; big chance provided the cards drop right. |

3rd 27 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Unraced on softer than good; record is 4-11 (AW/turf); good second in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (would likely have won but for traffic issues) and Newbury event (collared by Classic) in last two appearances; progressive, represents last year's winning yard and has a big prize in him; respected. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who ran well in the C&D event won by Beagle Bay most recently but needs to build on that effort and to prove conclusively that his current mark is surmountable; balance of form gives doubt. |
11/1 |

4th 3 (11) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Low-mileage colt who showed progress last year but was perhaps flattered in French AW Listed event on final start and failed by a long way to repeat the form on handicap/seasonal debut; mark seems stiff. |
20/1 |

14th 5 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Showed plenty of ability on all four starts (AW/good) as 3yo, winning a 1m novice, but he seems to have been hit hard by the handicapper following his fifth of seven last November in a 9.5f Listed race on Deauville AW. |

Defied a 5lb lower mark in the corresponding race 12 months ago; many good runs in defeat since then, including his fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup, and he is unlikely to be too far away. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Currently in a consistent vein of form that ties him in with some of today's opponents; creditable third to Indalo at Sandown most recently; Goodwood record comprises a couple of second-place finishes at this meeting, including in this race last year; solid claims. |
9/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Similar type to Cerulean Bay in that he ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup (fourth) last time but is getting little help from the assessor, having proved largely consistent since his last win; solid contender all the same. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |
40/1 |

Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
The first of two Listed wins last year came over C&D; out of form this season until respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (1m) latest outing, when wearing first headgear (retained today); needs to build on that. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races prominently (didn't when trying 1m4f last time); a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; has started 2026 in downbeat fashion but today's ground could prompt something better, as his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; below-form favourite in this race two years ago but was denied a clear run; needs to be back in peak form to have any chance. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Comes with a degree of risk as he's often slowly away and needs the cards to drop right; however, form this term includes placed efforts in two major handicaps, while Goodwood record comprises a creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago and success next time; this may be the day to catch him, with renowned hold-up wizard Jamie Spencer up for first time. |
6/1 |

6th 15 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Five-time winner at about 1m; creditable third, despite traffic issues, in major handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot (7f) this term; possibilities off same mark back up in distance, provided this race pans out better. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 19 (22) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Useful handicapper at about 1m, winning five times; did well to finish third in the Lincoln at Doncaster in sole outing this term, having come from a difficult position; each-way possibilities, provided he copes with the drop back to 7f for first time since his early days. |

18th 11 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) last September on final 3yo start and returned to form when third to Mirsky in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained), which he may well have won granted a clear run; lightly raced and in top hands; firmly in calculations. |

3rd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Won a Nottingham maiden (1m, good) and a Yarmouth handicap (1m1f, soft) last year; respectable sixth (Mirsky third) of 12 in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap on reappearance three weeks ago; wandered around a little under pressure there and now refitted with the cheekpieces he wore once last season; could resume his progression and much respected from a handy inside stall. |

Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May but has been unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup and Coral Challenge; current mark is stiffer than the one off which he finished sixth, amid traffic issues, in this race two years ago. |

9th 25 (19) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has less hidden up his sleeve than others, being a 6yo whose record is 4-24, but he arrives having been better than ever in useful handicaps at Newbury (1m, good) this term; finished second to Linwood on reappearance and weaved his way through to beat Indalo by a neck last time. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Both handicap wins have come by narrow margins at Class 3 level and it was a deep Class 2 in which he made no impact last time at Sandown; he's not handicapped out of it if he stays this longer distance (unraced beyond 8.6f). |
5/1 |

10th 17 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

3-9; didn't enjoy much luck when sent off one of the market leaders for the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month, but ran his race when beaten just over a length into fourth of 13 over the same C&D (good) a fortnight later; one for the shortlist down another 1lb. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Useful but is 0-12 since completing a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024, essentially proving quite difficult to place; hasn't strictly improved for a switch to hold-up tactics this term (seemingly being taught to settle better); unlikely to regain the winning thread on these terms. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |

Reappeared with creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket; short of room at a crucial stage in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; 16-1) and basically given an easy time from over 1f out, so he's a good deal better than last of ten in that hot contest suggests; however, after 11 races, he is more exposed than most of today's rivals. |

Three-time winner signed off last season with excellent placed efforts in a Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) and a Listed event at Craon (1m, very soft); not disgraced behind Docklands in Listed Doncaster Mile on seasonal return; sharper for that and this British raider is respected. |
