8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Thriving since dropped to 6f, winning at Ripon and Hamilton in May and then performing with great credit in hot sprint handicaps on his last three starts; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be bang there once again. |

His form has taken off since dropped to 6f, winning at Ripon and Hamilton in May and posting fine efforts in defeat over C&D and at Newmarket since; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the shake up again. |

4th 6 (11) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has made serious progress since dropped to 6f, following an easy maiden win with an impressive handicap debut at Hamilton; ran off 10lb higher in a better York race (good) in June and he did really well to be a close second to Thunder Call who was slightly better positioned; upped another 4lb but closely matched with the winner; on the premises. |

2nd 9 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Easy win in a 6f maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; made light of his opening mark when seeing off 21 rivals in a 6f handicap at York (good) in June; unable to justify favouritism in a hot Newmarket handicap last month but the ground was the fastest he has faced and he didn't look entirely at ease, doing well to take third as things panned out; that form looks strong and he remains with serious potential; of obvious interest if the going is deemed suitable. |
7/4 |

3rd 8 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Came on plenty over the winter, easily winning a 6f Kempton AW maiden on comeback, then saw off a big field on handicap debut at York (6f, good) in June; he ended with a little up his sleeve at York and a 6lb rise isn't harsh for one who can improve further for this stiffer test at the trip. |
7/2 |

1st 18 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Promising second at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last November on second start and he won by 6l on last month's reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW); this close relation to connections' Group 3 winner Skardu has the potential to be better than his opening mark and crack Australian jockey Zac Lloyd has made a good start to his stint in Britain. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Unplaced in his two attempts at sprinting this summer but he hasn't run badly on either occasion; could have a bigger effort brewing. |

8th 2 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so. |
14/1 |

8th 12 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
All six runs have been at 7f, winning an AW novice last summer; had wind and gelding operations prior to his reappearance at Newbury (good) in April and ran well for third; filled the same spot in a handicap here six weeks ago; improvement essential now tackling 5f in a red-hot handicap; tongue-tie enlisted. |

9st 10lb |
Made a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; flopped behind Thunder Call at York eight weeks ago; that run casts a shadow but he still has low mileage and could well rebound. |

19th 5 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on the first of his three 2yo starts and back on the scoresheet on his handicap/seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; 4lb higher in a deeper race today but he's unexposed and his illustrious pedigree hints that he could still have more to offer. |

Won on debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; finished last in Group 2 next time and runner-up in Redcar novice (6f, good) last November when last seen; gelded since; not obviously well treated off opening mark but his pedigree provides hope that he'll have more to offer. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
6f novice win as a 2yo; better form when fourth in a Listed race at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) in March but less good twice since; 7f and heavy ground are valid excuses for the last two runs and he is not yet fully exposed. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Good fourth in Chantilly Listed contest (6.5f, AW) last month, despite having been absent since midfield effort in the 2025 Coventry; chance of landing this useful race partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear; steps up a tad further in trip. |
14/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Just one win to her name from her nine starts but that doesn't do her ability justice as she has regularly acquitted herself well in the face of stiff tasks, most recently finishing close up in a Group 3 at York (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; interesting on this belated handicap debut. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Listed runner-up (6f, heavy) last October; also fourth in similar races at Haydock (6f, good to soft) and Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in recent months but her form is more useful than smart and she'll need a big career best to reach the frame in this higher grade. |
100/1 |

4th 7 (10) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed runner-up last October (6f, heavy) and kept on for fourth of 15 in Listed race at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last month, providing optimism that she would be suited by 7f; however, she hasn't seen out 7f either side of that Haydock run, most recently sixth of seven at Musselburgh (good). |

10st 2lb |
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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

Useful and broadly consistent sprinter whose Listed/Group form includes a 2yo win at Royal Ascot; faced a stiffer task in the Commonwealth Cup back there last time; has earned top weight on handicap debut and looks one of the main players; wears first-time headgear. |

Two wins as a 2yo, notably a sales race at Newmarket (7f, good); not so good in 2026 but his mark is easing; hooded for this first run for Stuart Williams (sold out of Oliver Cole's yard for 65,000gns last month). |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Saw off 25 rivals when winning a 7f sales race at Newmarket last October (good ground); two defeats in Listed company this year (1m, AW and 7f, good to firm) and now drops back to 6f; well drawn for his handicap debut but this mark not an obvious gift. |

150,000gns yearling; sent off 14-1 when beaten 6l into third of six behind the subsequent Greenham winner Alparslan on his Leicester debut (7f, good to firm) last August, showing signs of inexperience; the form has also been franked by those behind as well so he has to be taken seriously on his return. |

Generally consistent sort whose penultimate effort can be excused; made all in Class 4 contest at Goodwood (5f, good) last time, taking record to 2-14; back up two grades but receives weight all round and could go well; creditable third in sole C&D attempt. |
