22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
2m Group 1 entry for Ascot in October, along with several others in this; unraced on good to soft and below form in a soft-ground run last term; unbeaten in 2026, having led in the closing stages on good to firm at the Newmarket Guineas meeting (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f; by a head); raised another 5lb but progressive and plenty to like if the ground proves suitable. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
After just the solitary run as 2yo he made steady progress last season and delivered a clear personal best when reeling in the front-running Gamrai in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting (good to firm; first run since gelded) on reappearance; up just 4lb and this return to a longer trip won't bother him; hard to knock. |

Sole win in eight runs was a Chester maiden; best efforts, however, when third in both the 1m6f Melrose at York (good to firm; led over 2f out) and another valuable handicap over C&D (good; finishing strongly) in October; gelded soon afterwards; interesting prospect as 4yo. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won on heavy as 2yo, unraced on soft; regular progress/promise (including on good to soft) in his first six handicaps, without winning; raced freely early on in the last of those when running out of steam at Royal Ascot (1m4f) but he then got his act together at Glorious Goodwood (upped to 1m6f, good to firm) three weeks ago when travelling smoothly in mid-division and going on over 1f out, before holding a hampered runner-up (who won well here on Wednesday); well treated under 4lb penalty. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

0-6 in handicaps, with regular progress/promise but not when favourite last time at Royal Ascot where he raced freely early on and ran out of steam after challenging over 2f out (finished 8l sixth of 17); it's much too early to forget his reappearance promise (also 1m4f on good to firm) but that latest run also casts some doubt on the suitability of this new trip. |

Lightly raced 4yo who's without a handicap win but has mostly progressed in defeat, with the exception on heavy going; came from last to third in eight-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago for a promising reappearance and the two ahead of him filled the same positions over 1m6f here on Tuesday; changed hands since and has a major chance. |

9st 12lb |
2m Group 1 entry; lightly raced 4yo, unraced on softer than good except on debut; has flourished this term, winning in some style at Carlisle (1m3f) in May and Royal Ascot (1m4f; 10lb higher today) in June; backed up the latter form when second in a steadily run Group 3 at Goodwood and looks well worth a crack at 1m6f. |

2nd 7 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) in May on his second start since being gelded and followed up in the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); he's by Frankel out of a Group 1 winner and could take this rise in grade in his stride; key player. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

Off 11 months after tailing off in a Group 2 at this meeting last year; shaped promisingly on handicap debut over C&D on return and firmly in charge through the final 2f at Carlisle (1m3f, again good to firm) three weeks later; trying to avoid trouble in running from stall 1 looks a headache today but zero shock if the 8lb rise underestimates him. |

Progressive 2025, notably on good to firm with his win at Royal Ascot (2m4f) and second in the Ebor at York (1m6f); easily his most competitive show of 2026 was last time when fourth of 22 back in the Ebor (good to soft; Beylerbeyi a neck behind giving 3lb) and he shaped from off the pace as if he's probably as good as ever; seriously considered. |

4th 18 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |

Unraced on the soft on Flat for nearly two years; progressive last season, most notably on good to firm with his win at Royal Ascot (2m4f) and second in this race; failed to shine at Ascot on first two starts this season (every chance over 1f out at the Royal meeting) before never dangerous when 40-1 in a recent Leopardstown Group 3; off the same mark as 12 months ago, however, this Irish St Leger entry could be dangerous to dismiss. |

Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear (a good pace would help) but he's 2-4 at Doncaster; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f) last October and looked just as good on most handicap starts since; fifth of 22 in the 1m6f Ebor at York last time, with Ascending fourth as they both made late gains; player in below-par renewal. |

Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance. |

Without a Flat win since September 2024 and again vulnerable if the leading lights are at the peak of their powers, while his stamina for 2m on the Flat isn't guaranteed; however, this course winner ran pretty well when seventh of 22 in the 1m6f Ebor at York latest and might have a place shout. |

2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; one of the market leaders in this in 2024 but came 12th; his attentions have been focused on the Flat this year but he hasn't been in peak form, 11th off this reduced mark behind Hopewell Rock last time; there's a chance that return to softer ground today will help; something needs to. |

Just six races; came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; 8lb higher today) this May; the latter promised much, which was singularly unfulfilled when hot favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; virtually first off the bridle that day but a return to 1m6f on softer ground today ensures that he remains of major interest. |

The future looked bright when he won the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August but he's not built on that significantly; well held back in Britain for two Group races this May when last seen; off 12lb higher than in the Melrose, this return to a handicap may also be tough. |

Probably acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; reliable 7yo who's never been better than this season (1m2f-2m); also seems to have found his limits but perhaps a handicap such as this will suit him better than the much smaller-field Group/Listed race's he's contested on last three starts. |

Six-time winner on the Flat over shorter trips than this (1m1f-1m4f), including at this track in 2023; beaten about 5l when fifth of seven in a Group 3 over this C&D in May (behind Lazy Griff and ahead of Furthur and Duke Of Oxford) but that was steadily run and he didn't fully prove his stamina; stable won this with Trueshan in 2024 but this 7yo has a bit to find to reverse placings with Lazy Griff. |

Close second in 1m7f French Group 2 (on very soft) last October remains his best form; he has a competitive handicap mark, though, as he showed when running on well from off the pace to be fourth of 17 to Opportunity at Royal Ascot (1m4f) last time; Ryan Moore stays on board; Irish St Leger entry with strong claims back up in trip. |

His 1m2f Group 3 run here (40-1) was the only blip from him last season; close second in 1m7f French Group 2 last October looks his best form but his handicap mark has fallen and plenty of ability remains; the biggest question may be whether this trip is now on the short side. |

Beat Factual Fact in a 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in June (yielding); not as effective over 2m at the same venue later that month; big price when down the field in the Ebor. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Registered his highest rating in 1m6f Listed race on soft ground last April (his only time front-running); always prominent when strong finish took him to a handicap win at the Curragh (1m6f, yielding) this term and, although he wasn't discredited over 2m later in June, this trip on softer than good may well be the best fit; wears headgear for the first time. |

Stayed on well to gain third career success off 8lb lower here on latest (1m6f, yielding); both previous runs at around this trip have not been his best so could be vulnerable upped in distance on quicker ground off career high mark. |

9st 11lb |
Has a record of 211 at Newbury, winning the 2025 Geoffrey Freer (1m5f Group 3) in clearcut style the final time; not solid on 2026 form but looks interesting off an attractive mark returned to this venue. |

Seemed to be going places when he won a Group 3 at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) last August, followed by a respectable sixth on soft ground in the St Leger, but he's been disappointing this term; headgear goes on. |

Both wins have been at Newbury, in a maiden over 1m3f last April and a Group 3 over 1m5f (good to firm) last August; respectable sixth in the St Leger in September but he's been below that level in all four starts since, including when beating only Duke Of Oxford home over this C&D in May; drops back to 2m having contested the Gold Cup two weeks ago. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) last October and reappeared with a good second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) in May, both from the front; soft ground was likely to blame at Epsom on Derby Day but recent return to action was pretty spectacular when a change in tactics saw him come from last to first in a well-contested 13-runner race at Southwell (1m3f, AW); has a 4lb penalty after that narrow win but this lightly raced 4yo now promises better still and a good 5lb claimer is enlisted; player if the ground isn't too soft. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Looked a progressive sort last year (3-5) and ran well to finish runner-up on his Goodwood reappearance (1m6f, good) in May; soft ground the likely reason for his dismal effort at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby Day and better expected if taking to the AW. |

Unraced as a juvenile but now boasts 3-6 record, winning his first two and back on the scoresheet when making all at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) in October; bumped into a quite well-regarded sort when second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago and this unexposed 4yo looks a big contender to build on that encouraging return. |

8st 12lb |
Rarely seen on softer than good but it used to be okay (2023); made the frame only once (Saudi Arabia in February) from seven starts this year; admittedly hampered at Newmarket six weeks ago on latest outing, a race in which he ran well last term before finishing fifth in this; 7lb lower than 12 months ago and has a place squeak but there's been no win for over three years. |

Third in this race last year off 3lb higher; competitive only once (Saudi Arabia in February) from six starts this year and there's been no win for very nearly three years, so he's far from being the percentage call. |

Not often seen on softer than good but he won on good to soft in June 2024; failed to shine at this meeting in 2024 or 2025, during a long losing run; he's broken that with two 2m wins on the AW this year, most notably in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle in June, and also second at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in May, but only mid-division behind Hopewell Rock at Goodwood three weeks ago; others seem more likely. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Won this race in 2024 before embarking on a long losing run; he's broken that with two 2m wins on the AW this year, most notably in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last time; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in May was followed by a blip here; back up another 4lb since Newcastle but not entirely ruled out. |

Broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared at Kempton (2m, AW) in March with restored cheekpieces, which have been kept since; good second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing show at Goodwood five weeks ago. |

Bumper winner; 2-6 over hurdles, Grade 1-placed and rated 135; came up short in graded hurdles on last four starts; needs to jump better than when fourth behind Frankie John on chasing debut at Galway; the only one of the Mullins quartet with the advantage of race-fitness. |

Reserve; won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year but his strike-rate on turf is only 3-39 (last win in January 2023); close third at Ascot (second-time cheekpieces) two weeks ago was his best turf result for ages but he's been 14th, 16th and 20th when outsider in his three previous Ebors. |

Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year; only 3-38 on turf but quite encouraging runs in hot 1m3f/1m6f handicaps before finishing tailed off at Newmarket after starting slowly (1m4f); it wouldn't be a bolt from the blue should he run well but others are safer. |
