10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in this race last year off the same mark; fine efforts when runner-up in February on first two starts (2m, AW) since rejoining this yard, but reportedly made a respiratory noise next time and, following his third wind operation, he was a soundly beaten outsider in Listed race four weeks ago; others seem more solid. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fine efforts when runner-up in 2m AW handicaps in February on first two starts since rejoining this yard; reportedly made a respiratory noise at Musselburgh in April and he's had a third wind operation since; however, even if returning to form, a career-best if needed from this 6yo today. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

Sold for 600,000gns after winning a 1m6f Ascot Listed race (good to soft) for Andrew Balding last autumn; didn't make the expected impact over hurdles for Nicky Henderson earlier this year (pulled up in Triumph at Cheltenham when last seen) but resumes his Flat career back with a yard which is in tremendous form. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning stable debut from off the pace at Meydan (1m4f, good; acts on soft) in January but has finished no better than mid-division in his four starts since; has edged back to that last winning mark, which he also had when a close third in this race last year. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Has history in this race, having won it two seasons ago and only a length behind Night Breeze last year (good to firm; could have done with a truer gallop); just 2lb higher than 12 months ago and perhaps unwise to come down too harshly on his defeat at Royal Ascot, especially when his comeback run was so encouraging; shortlisted. |
11/2 |

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

C&D winner who mostly ran well last season and did so again when second at Pontefract (1m2f) on reappearance this April; each-way chance if he can avoid trouble from an inside stall. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ran creditably twice over 1m6f last autumn, including on good to soft; this campaign is not that hard to forgive - over 1m2f/1m on first two occasions and with 2m for the Northumberland Plate (just 8-1) perhaps a stretch last time - although he has raced a bit freely; well treated judged on peak form and could be about to come good again. |
40/1 |
|
10th 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Third win last term was clearcut over 1m4f here in August and he ran creditably over 1m6f on turf next time; it's not that hard to forgive this season, given the 1m2f/1m, although he has raced a bit freely; looked the type to make progress this year and this is an eye-catching rethink on trip. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
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. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (5) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed promise when making the frame on all three hurdle starts last winter; won twice on the Flat during the summer following wind surgery and looks sure to make his presence felt back hurdling. |
7/4 |
|
15th 11 (15) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Had wind surgery in January; he's since had three runs this summer and something has clicked in a major way on last two occasions as he registered a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick and had no problem making all in a five-runner race at Newbury (again 1m4f on good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty and this is a vastly more competitive race, but never better. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) in July; couldn't complete the hat-trick in a big field at the York Ebor meeting but still performed with credit in fourth; considered under Billy Loughnane. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm; always close up) four weeks ago; back up another 7lb but his peak 2024 form (a win on good to soft here) was better still; on the shortlist. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame all six starts this season, and might have bumped into a smart one when second off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f, AW) ten days ago; also suited by turf and won't be far away if stamina holds out over new trip. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent sort who has yet to be out of the first four in 17 starts; his two wins including one here over 1m3f last August and he was beaten only 2l over C&D last month; should continue to give his running. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten under 3l in the Shergar Cup Stayers last time and is possibly running into form; however, usually races over further nowadays and this drop back to 1m4f looks a negative; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Only eighth of ten in a 1m6f handicap at Newmarket a month ago in which he was second in 2024 and won in 2025 (on good to firm); that was yet another below-par effort and hopes rest on the tongue-tie making a difference. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |

First run at 1m6f when fourth of five runners last time at Newmarket; has looked vulnerable since winning off 5lb lower here in May. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Still 6lb higher than for emphatic win at York (extended 1m2f, good) in May but ran well when fifth of 13 at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); not out of this if suited by the new trip (first run beyond 1m4f). |
