9st 9lb |
5yo who was a big improver at the start of this season, winning a handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) then the Group 3 Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield (7f, good to firm); however, it appears as though she may have gone off the boil on her last two outings; carries a 3lb penalty this afternoon. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Listed race at Chantilly (1m, good) to soft in May last year and beaten a neck by Cheshire Dancer in a Group 3 at Ascot (1m, good) two months later; out of the frame in her last five starts, though, and others make more appeal; stable also runs Never Let Go. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Steady progress culminated in close second to Cheshire Dancer in a Group 3 over the round mile here (good to firm) last July; not in the same form since (tailed off in Newmarket Group 2 latest) and it remains to be seen whether a return to Ascot sparks her back to life. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
This is her first run since last July but she returns with her stable in fine form and she went very close in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good) last May; in the mix if at the top of her game; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |
6/1 |

6th 9 (8) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Short-headed in the Group 2 Sandy Lane at Haydock (6f, good) in May and creditable fourth in the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f, good) last time; didn't convince with her stamina in the Nell Gwyn in April on her sole crack at 7f but that was her reappearance and the lack of a recent run may have told late on; can be thereabouts if seeing out the trip. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company. |
22/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Hooded when winning Naas Listed event (good) and Leopardstown Group 3 (soft) over 7f for Michael O'Callaghan last year; below form tackling firmer ground when fifth in 7f Lingfield Group 3 on return for Andrew Balding (same owner); good chance if recapturing her best. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Seems tactically versatile; hooded when winning Naas Listed event (good) last May and followed up in Leopardstown Group 3 (also 7f, soft) the following month; left Michael O'Callaghan (same owner) after disappointing on heavy ground in October; Ryan Moore booked and she sets the standard on this stable debut/reappearance; plenty to like. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Enjoyed her finest hour when winning the German 1,000 Guineas (1m, soft) in May; only fifth of 15 in the German Oaks (1m3f, good to soft) last time and she faces a higher calibre of rival here; would be a surprise winner. |
25/1 |

2nd 10 (10) |
28th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice at Group level last year, including the May Hill at Doncaster (1m, soft) in September; found Group 1 company too much the next twice (including in the 1000 Guineas on her return), but landed the German version at Dusseldorf (1m, soft) last month; bred to stay this far and the only question is how she will cope with the different surface; entered in the Irish and Yorshire Oaks and Nassau Stakes. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo filly who readily beat 14 rivals at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in sole start this season, taking turf record to 4-4; looks likely to cope with an 8lb rise; goes well fresh and commands respect on return from another break, with further improvement very plausible. |

4yo who has shown improved form in Listed races this term, finishing runner-up at Haydock (6f, good to soft) and Musselburgh (7f, good) on last two outings; Circe was 1.25l ahead of her at the latter but she's 3lb better off with Richard Hannon's charge this time; each-way claims again. |

9st 5lb |
Came up well short in Group 1/Listed events in the second half of 2025 but different story on Kempton AW reappearance, readily seeing off ten rivals in 1m Listed race; something presumably not right when favourite for an Epsom Group 3 on Derby day (good to soft), finishing a distant last of seven; given seven weeks to get over that. |

One of two for yard; shock winner of a 7f Listed race at Naas (good) on penultimate but finished last of seven upped to Group 3 company at Leopardstown on latest in June (7f, soft); freshened up since, rain not a worry and not dismissed. |

Limerick maiden winner on soft; followed a poor run over 6f at Cork with a career-best at Naas (7f, gd) 25 days ago when making all in Listed race; needs to build on that and not guaranteed to do so; likely to go forward. |

8st 13lb |
Came from behind to win the Group 3 Fred Darling over C&D (good) on reappearance; tougher assignments over 1m since, racing freely in Ascot Group 3 on latest; this return to 7f is a plus but others have more obvious claims. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Improved upon her 2yo form when coming from the back of the pack to beat Touleen and win the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) on her reappearance; bounced back from a tame effort in the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh when sixth of nine to Precise in the Coronation over C&D last month but Touleen was 2.5l ahead of her in second on that occasion. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won 2yo novice races last July on her first two starts and has run well in defeat in some Group and Listed races since, but she hasn't shown enough to suggest she'll be a serious contender in this. |

8th 8 (1) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 1 |

0-5 in Group/Listed races since winning last July on first two starts but she kept on well for a Listed third at Musselburgh (7f, good) last time and today's stiffer track could be right up her street; one to consider. |

Placed in two Group 3 races (6f/7f, soft/good to soft) and ran well for a long way when eighth of 15 in the French 1,000 Guineas at Longchamp (1m, heavy) in May; drops back in grade today and the return to 7f could also help, but others have stronger claims; unproven on good/good to firm. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |

Goes well on ground softer than good; faced a simple task when winning novice at Carlisle in September and held her own against much classier opposition when third of 14 in Group 3 at Ayr (6f, soft) 11 days later; led for most of the way on that occasion and should make another bold bid. |

8st 13lb |
Won on debut here (6f, good) last August and beaten on next two starts (6f; including Group 3) before convincing handicap win at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) this month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but she impressed last time and her dam was a Group 3 winner; trainer saddled two 3yos to dead-heat for first in this race 12 months ago; one to consider. |

All races at 6f, winning on debut at Goodwood but having a difficult task when third in a Group 3 at Salisbury on her next and final juvenile start; never looked comfortable over the trip on belated return in an AW novice at Southwell last month but her powerful finish into fourth strongly suggests she'll improve for an extra furlong now handicapping; considered. |

Won handicap at Chester (6f, good) in May and ran well when fifth of 20 in competitive fillies' handicap at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good) last time; however, she has plenty to find against the pick of today's opposition. |

York handicap winner last season and overcame a wide draw at Chester in May (6f, good; 4lb lower); good and bad since, though saw too much daylight when returned to 7f at Newmarket last time (behind Machadadorp); better can be expected, assuming she copes with this new experience. |

Went down narrowly in Group 2 Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on second 2yo start and ran at least as well when fourth in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m, good to firm) on reappearance; should cope with today's drop back in distance and it's unlikely she's reached her ceiling just yet; leading contender for last year's winning stable. |

Daughter of her connections' July Cup winner Starman; duly showed plenty of promise in both 2yo starts, recording a clearcut success at Nottingham (6f, good) and close second, clear of remainder, in the Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, good to firm; Group 2); gives the impression she'll be suited by this further step up in distance; possibilities with additional improvement on the cards. |

Edged out by Sukanya in the Fred Darling at Newbury on reappearance but had that reopposing rival behind her when an improved second to Precise in the Group 1 Coronation over C&D (good to firm) at the Royal meeting; even better than the result (met trouble a few times) on that occasion and a similar level of performance will make her hard to beat back in a Group 3. |

2-3 in 2yo campaign and close second to Sukanya in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) on her return; another good run when sixth of 19 to True Love in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm), beaten just over 4l; further improvement is necessary if she's to pose a serious threat but she's in excellent hands to continue to progress; might not be far away. |

Verdict
The highly progressive 4yo FORTY YEARS ON (nap) has risen through the ranks in handicaps and can complete a hat-trick. Planet Seeker could still be capable of better and is feared most ahead of fellow 3yos Touleen and The Prettiest Star. Isle Of Fernandez is an interesting contender at bigger odds.[Ben Hutton]Selections
