9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Below par in first-time blinkers at Epsom last month but the good to soft ground may not have suited and he's back in a visor today, in which he went close at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; has an each-way shout. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Salisbury maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last June when sporting first-time cheekpieces for previous yard; yet to score for current stable but he's been placed on six of those seven starts and it was a narrow defeat when second of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm; visored) under Silvestre De Sousa latest; soft going would ask a question but he's well drawn to go forward and newly fitted blinkers might eke out more. |

Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut. |

Well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice for Roger Varian at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 and absent since (gelded in interim); changed hands for 40,000gns in February and has joined an up-and-coming stable, but he may need this comeback outing. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Disappointing at Epsom a fortnight ago but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) last month and he has a very solid record at this track, featuring a C&D win and 2l fourth in this last year; could bounce back. |
14/1 |

17th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high). |

He's 0-7 in handicaps but runner-up in three, including when short-headed in this race last year (good to firm) and when returning to form at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time; could be bang there once more. |

2nd 1 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Sole success came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo, though he twice finished runner-up last year, including at York (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) in October; didn't enjoy the smoothest run and far from disgraced in good Newbury handicap on reappearance; likely to go well. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won on the Rowley Mile here (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Newbury to win over this C&D (good) three weeks ago; it was a blanket finish last time but he's just 2lb higher today and the fourth has won since; this progressive 4yo is now 4-8 and is high on the list. |
9/2 |

1st 2 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Soundly beaten at Newbury (1m, good) last time following a 9lb rise for his win on the other Newmarket course earlier last month (1m, good to firm; made virtually all); however, this lightly raced 4yo impressed on that penultimate outing and his current mark may not be beyond him. |
10/1 |
|
10th 12 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Six races overall and his only two on turf resulted in one front-running win at Newmarket last April (1m2f, good) and another two weeks ago (1m, good to firm); being dropped back in trip worked a treat last time and, although hit with a 9lb rise, better still may well be forthcoming. |

11th 25 (17) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Has plenty of good form at Ascot and his most recent course effort (when bidding for a second win in the Victoria Cup) can be excused as the race didn't pan out favourably for him; however, he has a difficult-looking mark to overcome in this first Royal Ascot attempt. |

Easily won Chester novice (7.5f, good to firm) last August on third and final 2yo start and reappeared with midfield finish in the Italian 2,000 Guineas, before 2l fourth of 30 on handicap debut in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); firmly in calculations now against older horses. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Made it third-time lucky last season in a 7.5f novice at Chester (good to firm); however, he was only seventh in the Italian 2,000 Guineas (good) in his comeback race and that casts a shadow over his prospects. |

Built upon the promise of his debut fifth at Newbury (6.5f, good) when occupying the same position at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to soft), where he kept on well; he's the type who should have more to offer and today's extra yardage is a likely positive; he's one to consider. |

Had soft ground as a possible excuse for his no show in the Balmoral at Ascot last month and solid record in handicaps before that, including fourth in Hunt Cup and a defeat of subsequent Cambridgeshire winner Liberty Lane at Doncaster (1m2f) in September; has a 2-2 AW record; no surprise were he to make his presence felt in this higher grade. |

Often held up in rear, so he saw very little daylight when 50-1 off career-low mark in the Spring Cup at Newbury in April; dropped another 2lb since but he last won in September 2023 and failed to make an impact in all but one of his races in 2025, so does not look the percentage call. |

Four wins at Kempton between last October and this March and placed twice in a row on the other Newmarket course in May (1m, good to firm/good) before solid sixth of 18 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last month; his yard is in excellent form and he's an each-way contender. |

Four-time AW winner who is 0-6 on turf but his 40-1 second of 13 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) was a good effort in May and he backed it up when third to Sterling Knight over that C&D (good) a fortnight later; sole start on good to soft (1m2f) last year was inconclusive but he'll do well to defy this career-high mark. |

3rd 8 (9) |

Won at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May and followed up in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) in the Carlisle Bell (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago to make it four wins from his last seven starts; climbing the weights but this thriving 4yo could give another good account. |

Won on 2yo debut at Newbury (6.5f, soft) last October and similar form when third at Kempton (7f, AW) next time; reappeared with a last-gasp novice win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) and this Frankel colt, who is out of 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty, is open to further improvement tackling 1m on his handicap debut; could play a leading role. |

By Frankel out of a 1,000 Guineas winner; odds-on favourite on Newbury debut (6.5f, soft) in October and he forged clear to win with lots in hand; well-held third under a penalty at Kempton in December but that was behind a smart prospect who finished third in the Craven (Group 3) this spring; sets the standard on that latest form and he's a big player on his return. |
