26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month on first run beyond a sprint trip; only fourth of eight at Ascot (7f, good to firm) since but remains of interest in view of his penultimate effort. |

4th 3 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He had useful form over 6f but proved suited by the step up to 7f at Newbury three weeks ago, winning his first race for a year and looking better than ever; up 4lb but may be capable of further progress at this distance and he's firmly in calculations. |

9st 13lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; back-to-form second over C&D (good to firm) last month and may not have been helped by racing alone during the first half of the race when well held over 6f at Salisbury since. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Often blows the start; everything clicked when she won at Yarmouth (7f, good) in April but she's been more miss than hit otherwise this year; others have less to prove. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
All eight starts on good/good to firm; his form has been up and down but he was back on song when third at Newbury (7f) last month and his strong finish suggests he should appreciate today's return to 1m; respected. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Unplaced all five starts since winning his first two races, but there have been excuses; shaped well after making much of the running in the Royal Hunt Cup, and then used up too much energy from a wide draw in the Golden Mile at Goodwood; dropping back from 1m to 7f is an interesting move and he still has untapped potential. |
9/4 |
|
13th 10 (18) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who looked a smart prospect early doors and whose disappointing runs are perhaps best forgiven in hindsight; had wind surgery prior to a resurgence, leading his group for a very long way, in the Royal Hunt Cup (handicap debut); interesting assuming he builds on that effort. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, who acts on good to firm and good to soft; 0-9 since his AW win last December, but he's run plenty of good races this season including when fourth at Newbury (7f) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 this season but he's been bubbling under, and he'd have gone close to winning at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday but for being badly hampered inside the final 1f; dangerous if he's fully recovered from that. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form this season but last two efforts creditable and the way his challenge petered out late on over 1m at Ascot a fortnight ago suggests this return to 7f could prove ideal. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with a convincing C&D win (good ground) but hasn't built on that at all; gelded before finishing down the field at Ascot three weeks ago and now cheekpieces are fitted; needs to get back on track. |
9/1 |
|
14th 7 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reappeared with a convincing handicap win at Newbury (7f, good) in April; underwhelming favourite in Listed races at Newmarket and Epsom on next two starts but gelded since and returns to a handicap this afternoon, and he could have a part to play if rediscovering the Newbury form. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |

Bit disappointing in similar event at Newmarket last time but otherwise a broadly progressive colt and can't be written off; ready winner of useful handicap at Newbury (7f, good) in his only other start this term. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who struck at Thirsk (1m, good) last month; now 1lb below that winning mark but that's because three lesser runs have followed; no surprise were he to pop up but his good days are becoming harder to predict. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Course winner who struck at Thirsk (1m, good) last month and is just 1lb higher today; however, this 7yo has had a patchy profile this season and has finished unplaced on his last two starts. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
7f specialist, not beaten far in Ascot's Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm) in first half of this year; never able to challenge over same C&D last time; this is less competitive and he should be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
9th 3 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Merely mid-division behind Aalto in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago but this C&D brings out the best in him, as evidenced by this season's close-up finishes in the Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm); could be bang there now back at Ascot. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (11) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Ran well, only a neck behind Elarak, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot to maintain his solid record in headgear; good second in the Victoria Cup the time before; threatening to win a big prize; shortlisted. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Back in form when third of ten at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; failed to back it up at Newbury one week later; has a C&D win on his record and still feasibly weighted. |

8th 7 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Seemed in the doldrums prior to third of ten at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; had slipped in the weights and he's well treated on the pick of his 3yo form; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Scored three times for previous yard but is 0-8 for current stable and not particularly solid on 2026 form that includes mostly duck eggs, beaten 8l with tongue-tie fitted at Glorious Goodwood most recently; perhaps best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
