13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |

6th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose 12 wins include a Group 3 at York (7f, good) last June; he was an excellent third of 19 in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f) in October; has since run up to his best in a 5f AW race at Newcastle in January and it will be interesting to see how he gets on back at this trip on turf with his regular hood discarded; ran creditably in 6f Group 3 at Newmarket last time. |

3rd 9 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Very useful front-runner whose strike-rate is 12-32; bagged Group 3 honours at York (7f) last June and a valuable pot at Doha (6f) most recently; unbeaten (4-4) in 6f contests on the Newmarket courses and has shown that he can win in sizeable fields; likely to make a bold bid back here. |

Two good 6f runs in May, winning at Pontefract before chasing home a rapid improver at Newmarket; not so good over 7f twice since; returns to this trip with new headgear tried. |

Made good progress since handicapping, winning at Pontefract last month (6f, good; these accessories for the first time) and then chasing home Quinault (won twice since) at Newmarket a fortnight later; reportedly didn't face the kickback when disappointing at Kempton 13 days ago; still has more to come back on turf. |

Out of an AW winner and duly improved for the Polytrack when all out to win a 7f maiden at Kempton; 100-1 chance who was well held on her debut finished second, so the form looks dubious; bit to prove mark-wise and on this return to turf. |

Down the field in two AW runs back from a break, the latest at Chelmsford last week; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but he has a good record on soft ground and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |

0-11, though 7f has looked too far at Southwell the last twice and she is 2lb lower than when just beaten on stable debut at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) the time before, when back from seven months off; interesting with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |

Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding. |
