31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; proved that he does indeed possess serious stamina when upped from 1m6f to 2m4f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last time, bang there almost throughout in first-time blinkers and beaten a head; back up 4lb but has a big shout. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced on firmer than good and his form claims are pretty flimsy; however, he's one of the dark horses of the race after just six starts and he's shaped at 1m6f as if he may well be an out-and-out stayer; has tried cheekpieces and a visor once each, and now blinkers are given a go; close relation Middle Earth was third over 2m in last year's Melbourne Cup. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Cheekpieces enlisted this season and the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) brought a heavy defeat but otherwise he's been in career-best form; latest instance was his second of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f; finished strongest); needs to build on that handicap form on this first crack at a Group race but he has claims in a weak renewal. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 5 (17) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces enlisted for last three starts, winning on first occasion and good sixth in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good); 16-1 for Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) six weeks ago but weakened right out of it in the last half-mile; that was his first race on firmer than good since start of career three years ago, so there's a big question mark about the ground. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good strike-rate of 7-17 and he should have brighter prospects than some of staying this extreme trip given he wasn't stopping at the end of the Chester Cup over an extended 2m2f last time; has raised his game in cheekpieces (fitted in only his last two races) and he could outrun his odds if coping okay with fast ground. |

Yet to win a handicap on turf but won over hurdles (good to soft) and on AW earlier this year and did very well to finish third of 15 in the big 2m4f handicap at the Glorious meeting when 5lb out of the weights; just 1lb lower this time and balance of form suggests he'll need more back at 1m6f. |

14th at 100-1 in this race in 2024; won at Kempton this year over hurdles and on AW Flat, and similar Flat form over that 2m on last two runs, but much better is needed from 5lb out of the handicap today; 7lb claimer is called up. |

Held up and stays 2m4f; a superb 2024 culminated in his Cesarewitch win at Newmarket off the same mark as today; 2025 campaign went from promising to frustrating (including with trouble in running) to disappointing; however, his fifth of 20 to Believitanducan in Northumberland Vase at Newcastle five weeks ago was a step back in the right direction. |

Held up; a superb 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate, this race and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; he's back to his last winning mark, but that's having been always behind at 40-1 in the Chester Cup last time; he will surely spark again at some point but it's hard to know exactly when. |

Held up; an excellent 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate on this card (his only run here) and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; has a recent 1m2f run under his belt and would be competitive off this slightly reduced mark if back on song. |

The lack of any win since a maiden hurdle in January 2024 (first run for Willie Mullins) is a concern but he's produced solid efforts on Flat over 2m2f, 1m6f and 2m on his last three starts and may well be an out-and-out stayer; no shock if he's on the premises. |

Second runner for yard; sole win on Flat came over 1m on AW in 2023 in France; may have needed the run when weakening over 1m6f here (good) on latest last month; ran well over 18.5f in Ulster Cesarewitch last September off 1lb lower; chance stepped back up in trip. |

Bit to prove on softer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; made most when well beaten trying 2m4f in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago but has a competitive mark in this Class 4. |
3/1 |

6th 14 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |

Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |
10/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won back to back over 2m for Emma Lavelle last autumn and ran well to make the frame despite racing freely in a couple of Goodwood handicaps in May; one wonders if the drop back in trip will play to his strengths on stable debut but he makes greater appeal than most of these. |

Four-time course winner, the latest over C&D last October; he hasn't been at the top of his game on his last four starts, including here on his penultimate run, but he can't be ruled out at a venue he clearly relishes. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Inconsistent sort who was a soundly beaten third at Musselburgh recently; however, he won at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June and ran well in third over this C&D (good to firm) in July; acts on any ground and might not be far away if he's on a going day. |

Seven-race maiden, with four seconds including at Doncaster (1m4f; odds-on) and Pontefract (2m1f; made most in first-time cheekpieces) on his two starts this season; reverts to just a tongue-tie and relatively unexposed as a stayer but others have to be more persuasive. |

0-6 but he has recorded an RPR of 84 or more in each of his last five starts; beaten at odds-on at Doncaster on his reappearance (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; stepping up to a marathon trip could prompt further progress, as could the new cheekpieces; shortlisted. |

Signed off last term with a win at Haydock (1m6f, good) on the only time he's worn cheekpieces; overcame trouble at Hamilton (1m5f) on reappearance and although it was hard work when he plugged on from the rear to be sixth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm; 9-4 favourite) it was his best performance on the figures and gave encouragement for 2m+; cheekpieces return. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |

Made his debut just over a year ago; firmly on the upgrade when signing off last season with a handicap win at Haydock (1m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) and following up on his reappearance at Hamilton (1m5f, good; no headgear) where the narrow margin of victory masked his superiority (he overcame trouble); he's up a further 8lb but the improvement could keep coming; James Doyle prefers him over Wathnan's other pair; big player. |

1st 2 (1) |

Made debut last May and all six runs were on good ground; maiden winner here who was increasingly competitive coming from behind in his three handicaps, winning in first-time cheekpieces from Ride The Thunder at Haydock (1m6f) in September when last seen; up 7lb, back slightly in trip and no headgear, but he's still one to note. |

Reliable 6yo who was a close second in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good; 3lb higher today) on reappearance under Toby Moore; not so good in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f, good to firm) but he did stay on into a fairly remote fourth; strong each-way candidate. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Likeable 6yo who handles any ground and can usually be relied upon to give his running, as was the case when a close second to A Piece Of Heaven in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good); Toby Moore's claim meant the winner was giving him 8lb that day, so he looks to have his work cut out to reverse those placings; can run well but probably not well enough. |

2nd 3 (8) |

Last month's down-the-field finish in a valuable Flat marathon is easily overlooked and he reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark but he's on the downgrade and has become inconsistent; soundly beaten twice in cheekpieces last season and now tries blinkers; hard to predict. |

All British Flat wins (five of them) have been at Goodwood but the last four were on soft ground, latest in June 2025; sixth in this race in 2023 and fifth last year, both on soft; last August saw his only run on good to firm in the last three years and he wasn't discredited, but he needs to step up on this year's efforts, particularly as he's 4lb out of the handicap. |

Latest Flat start was his first win, by 7l in a four-runner race at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last August for Ollie Sangster; seven races over hurdles for new connections, winning two (2m5f/2m3f) of the last three; probably has a good mark, so needs a second look, but this is a step up in class. |

Below form on the Flat this year, for instance 11th to Believitanducan in the Northumberland Vase last month; not proven beyond 2m in this sphere but he switched back to hurdles for a 2m6f win at Stratford 12 days ago, which might give some renewed hope. |

Not at best on the Flat this year (albeit still capable of useful form) and managed only fourth of six when warm favourite for latest hurdle race, at Worcester (2m, good) in May; that said, he's a stout stayer on the Flat and could have untapped potential over this new trip over jumps. |
