22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Led close home to win valuable 5f Ascot handicap in July and wasn't beaten far when back over 6f for Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood (also good to firm) at start of this month; didn't fire at York (5.3f, good) on Wednesday, though, and needs a personal best here. |
8/1 |

12th 1 (17) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Wins in Bahrain (6f, good to firm) and at Ascot (5f, good to firm) this summer; stiff task under a penalty in the Stewards' Cup 18 days ago and ran respectably in midfield; the Ascot form makes him of interest and he could prove suited by this intermediate trip; whether his high draw proves beneficial remains to be seen though. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Would have finished closer than tenth in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f) granted a clear run; scaled new heights when beating his 14 rivals there (5f, also good to firm) three weeks ago, finishing his race off strongly; 3lb wrong under his penalty today and while he has more good races in him, this one might prove too demanding. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Promise on 2yo debut (7f, soft) here last September; returned from 227 days off to win a 6f AW Lingfield maiden by daylight in April and followed up at the same track one month later; found things happening a bit too quickly for him when thrown into the lion's den in the King Charles III here last month but he was drawn lower than ideal; this should be more manageable and he remains a sprinter of interest. |

18th 25 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Wide-margin winner of both 6f starts, on Lingfield AW and in a turf novice on that course; has potential but also a mighty task trying to cross the chasm into a Group 1 against the pros on first 5f run. |
25/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

500,000gns yearling; well backed ahead of his 7f debut (soft) last backend, when inclined to pull hard and not seeing it out behind a useful rival; built on that on his 6f AW comeback here, when impressive from the front; plenty of potential and holds a Group 1 entry. |

6f winner at Thirsk (good) in May and back at a similar level when a keeping-on third behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should run his race but others are perhaps better treated. |
20/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Two good efforts for his new yard in May, beating 13 rivals in a Class 2 handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) off 3lb lower; only midfield in the Wokingham next time and he was left trailing by King Of Light at Windsor 12 days ago; others appeal more. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Finished fourth behind stablemate Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 8lb lower and enjoyed his finest hour when making most to win the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) last September; successful in Dubai early in the year and although his results have been mixed since returning to Britain, he retains plenty of ability; down the field over 5f here on Tuesday when a change of tactics failed to bear fruit; better can be expected today. |
25/1 |
|
14th 2 (17) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made all in last season's Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) and competes off the same mark here after taking Toby Moore's claim into account; won over 5f at Meydan during the winter and gave it a good shot last time at Ascot (5f); finished fourth in last year's Stewards' Cup so handles this track; respected. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (7) |

Made all to win the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) last September; good form in Dubai earlier in the year, winning a 5f handicap before a Group 3 second (6f) in February; 40-1 and well held in the Wokingham latest; others preferred for win purposes. |

Likeable 8yo mare with a consistent record and ten wins to her name; as good as ever when third of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last month, keeping on gamely; should go well again off 1lb higher. |
7/1 |

Won at Redcar (5f, good) in June and short-headed by Naana's Shadow over this C&D (good) seven days later; not beaten far when sixth then fifth in big fields at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, good to firm) on his last two starts; in with an each-way shout. |
15/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form over 5f and although he paid a high handicapping price for a wide-margin Redcar win in June, he so nearly overcame the 8lb rise at York next time against Naana's Shadow; had more to do at Ascot (good to firm) after but produced another sterling effort in a close sixth of 15; solid claims back against his own age group. |
13/2 |
|
6th 13 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Money-spinner for connections down the years; recent efforts have suggested he retains a good deal of his ability and his handicap mark is easing; beaten only 3l in a 7f Group 1 at this meeting 12 months ago; each-way shout. |
33/1 |
|
11th 14 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Having edged down the weights he offered a good deal more when third to Tuco Salamanca at Newcastle (6f, AW) in June; finished with a flourish when seventh behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, a run that confirmed he was still in good order; returning to 6f will help and he can't be dismissed, for all that he has been well beaten in this race twice before (2022 and 2025). |

7th 3 (8) |

Useful 2yo, winning the Windsor Castle over 5f here last June and running creditably in Group 2 company on a couple of occasions; he has offered more than enough this year to think he had trained on and his mark is slowly dropping; gelded since latest start and one to consider back up to 6f; cheekpieces worn on last two starts are now discarded. |

Useful 2yo, winning the Windsor Castle over C&D last June and running creditably in Group 2 company on a couple of occasions; two sound efforts this year, including in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (5f, good) eight days ago; this test should suit and he's a possible. |

Royal Ascot handicap winner last year (5f, good to firm) and later went close in this race when 3lb higher; yet to get competitive this term but could have needed the comeback run, there were blindfold issues next time and she ran well for a long way at Ascot 17 days ago before eased considerably late on; drawn next to the stands' rail and a revival is not out of the question with form figures of 132 under the returning Oisin Murphy; tongue tied last two races. |

9st 5lb |
Saw off 23 rivals when winning last season's Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at the Royal meeting (C&D; good to firm); better form when pipped at Goodwood last July; this season yet to take off but she may have needed her return and then there were blindfold issues at Redcar three weeks ago; Colin Keane booked and a revival isn't out of the question but her low draw may be an issue. |

Won the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at 2025 Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); also second in a Glorious Goodwood handicap and a Beverley Listed race later in 2025; last month's Windsor reappearance may have been needed and she's back on a good mark if returning to form in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Back in top form for David O'Meara this summer, running well twice at Glorious Goodwood and again when third of 21 here (5.4f, good) on Wednesday; tanked through Wednesday's race but didn't see it out quite so well as the front two; the worry today is that further rain has fallen and he is ideally suited by good to firm. |

He has performed with credit in all three York runs; two fine runs at Glorious Goodwood, notably in the Stewards' Cup in which he would have gone very close to winning granted a clear run at a crucial stage; races off the same mark and has a big run in him. |

Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |
