3rd 1 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who has won the last two runnings of this race (good to firm/good to soft) and has run well on both starts this season, most recently posting a cosy Listed win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm); leading claims. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dual Group 3 scorer at Sandown (1m2f) and Goodwood (1m4f) in 2025; resumed from six months off with a very good second of six in Newbury's John Porter Stakes in April so this veteran looks the one to beat dropped into Listed company here. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who progressed into a really smart performer at up to 1m6f at Meydan over the winter and made a sound return to Britain when chasing home Al Aasy in a Beverley Listed race (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; going on the soft side of good would be an unknown but he holds good form claims. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made it 3-4 when winning a 1m4f handicap at Meydan in December; posted a good third in Group 3 there in January but last of six in Group 1 there (1m4f) in March; yard has an excellent record in this so he's a likely player after a break. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner who made it 2-6 on turf when coming from off the pace to edge home in a typically deep 1m4f handicap at York's Ebor meeting where he reportedly appreciated getting back on softer ground (good to soft); this 5yo is still on the upgrade by the looks and could give Dubai Honour something to think about. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won in great style at Haydock (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) last July and put up a bold show over C&D this May; having been a non-runner at Royal Ascot where the good to firm ground was deemed unsuitable, he ran on it at Newmarket seven weeks ago and disappointed; can go well if back to peak form. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Respectable fourth in this contest last year but showed better form, including success in conditions race and third-place finishes at Listed/Group level, over 1m2f/1m3f later in 2025; doesn't seem to be crying out for this drop back in trip on reappearance. |
20/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Landed a second career win in 1m2f Goodwood conditions race (soft) in October; 0-8 in Listed/Group races prior to that but placed on a few occasions and he should be in the mix here. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran twice on Kempton AW last autumn, on second occasion winning a maiden over 1m; 9-2, much better form when close third of seven in Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f, good) seven weeks ago, despite racing rather freely and having to wait for room; better still is needed but he is unexposed and that was a promising reappearance. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (3) |
25th May 2024 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran twice on Kempton AW last autumn, on second occasion 5-4 favourite and always front rank when getting the better of a good duel for ten-runner maiden over 1m; needs markedly better in this but he looked sure to stay further that day. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
A typically progressive late developer from this yard who never ran at two; won four in a row last season before finishing second in the Group 3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes (1m4f, soft) in October; continuing on an upward curve this year and wasn't seen to best effect when the beaten favourite in a steadily-run French Group 3 three weeks ago (1m4f, good); big shout, even with the extra weight. |
