Made all to win the corresponding race 12 months ago; 2-2 on AW this year and he has performed with credit in Group 3/2 company on turf on his last two starts; should be in the thick of it again.

T: Lemos De Souza

Has had some good results for this yard in 2026, winning two of his first three starts and going agonisingly close over 5f (good; has won on good to soft) at the top meeting here in July when checked in his run; not so strong at the finish over slightly further at York since but a major player back over C&D.

On the up for new trainer this year, winning 5f handicaps at Yarmouth and Southwell before a fine second at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) three weeks ago, hitting the front 110 yards from home but picked off late on by a thriving opponent; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question.

T: Clive Cox

Built on an eye-catching reappearance (over this C&D) when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) in May; only fourth to Washington Heights in Listed event at Carlisle next time but has had a break since and may well bounce back; has real possibilities if he does.

Finished a close third in the 2024 running and went on to win the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (5f, firm; has won on good to soft) later in the year; seen only twice in 2025 and it's been a slow process recapturing form but a recent close fourth to Redorange in a C&D Listed race (first-time visor, now discarded) in July was better; no surprise to see him go well at a price.

Swept through from off the pace to win a Listed race at the Dante meeting (5f, good) here in May; also ran well over 5f here in July and he has had a wind operation since finishing down the field at Glorious Goodwood; 6f will be a new experience and he may prove vulnerable under his penalty.

Respectable seventh on stable debut in the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and good third of 18 to Naana's Shadow at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; today's track should be a good fit for this front-runner and she could make a bold bid.

Two 5f wins for other yards in a Catterick novice as 2yo and a Meydan handicap in January; along with 25 others she was outclassed by a handicap blot at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on yard debut but less than 2l covered the second and seventh (where she finished; raced without a shoe) and there could be better to come for her leading trainer.
