31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below-par results this season but he may have needed his reappearance run here and got no run in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (eased), having won that same Listed contest last year (good to firm); won the Group 2 Vintage Stakes here in his 2yo campaign in 2023; major player if at his best. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a second win at this meeting when seeing off Galen, King's Gambit and Enfjaar in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; below-par seventh on 1m2f Goodwood reappearance 25 days ago but this has presumably been the target again; the mount of James Doyle from the three Wathnan runners. |

7th 6 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has form on all types of ground; smart performer whose strong CV includes wins in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood as a 2yo and two Royal Ascot contests, more recently last year's Wolferton (1m2f Listed); best figures give him a major chance at the weights. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 2 winner as 2yo; threw away a golden opportunity in 6f Listed race at Doncaster in March when diving to his left inside the final furlong; well below par in the same grade last time and would be a surprise winner here, even if first-time blinkers give him a boost. |

6th 5 (6) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 2 winner as a 2yo; threw away a winning opportunity in a Listed race at Doncaster in March (6f, good to soft) when diving to his left inside the final furlong; this is easier than this summer's earlier turf assignments but he's often slowly away and he isn't one for the faint of heart. |

7th 3 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced since winning 2yo Group 2 in September 2023 (7f, soft); went close in Listed race on 2025 reappearance (6f, good to soft) and respectable fifth in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; however, he again looks vulnerable this afternoon. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent but he is a smart performer, as when beating his 21 rivals at Doncaster last November (6f, heavy); raced exclusively at 7f since, with mixed results, but this mark isn't beyond him and a big run could be on the cards back down in distance. |
50/1 |

15th 1 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Below his best on his last two runs, most recently over C&D at the Royal meeting; has some good C&D form, however, such as when fourth in both this race last year and the Victoria Cup in May; not ruled out each-way. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Beaten 23 times since winning a maiden at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) in June 2023; several good runs in defeat for Tim Easterby this year, including a short-head second at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) ten days ago; up 2lb but still feasibly weighted. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
0-22 since his Newbury maiden win in 2023 but he's on a reduced mark and ran well when sixth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) last time; should get a good pace back in trip and has each-way claims if he gets the breaks. |
9/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Campaigned solely at 7f this term but shapes as if he'll be well suited by this return to 1m; has met trouble in running on his last two starts; thrown in on the pick of his form for Richard Hannon and could be ready to strike. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Ran as well as he's ever done when second in this race 12 months ago, and he was a creditable third in Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) last time; solid credentials and unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort this year when going close in Group 3 at Epsom on penultimate start; record at Goodwood features two wins at this meeting, including in this race 12 months ago, and a good second to Qirat on worse terms in a handicap; shortlist material back here. |
7/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |

9st 0lb |
Unraced on soft/heavy; came up short in the Vintage but has progressive form otherwise; ran well off top weight in 7f nursery at the York Ebor festival last time; has frame possibilities on ratings. |

Improved again when comfortably winning a 6f Ascot nursery (good) last month; not up to the Group 2 Vintage at Glorious Goodwood on his first attempt at 7f but this is a more realistic assignment. |

23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Stablemate of Array; recorded a soft-ground win (5f) in the spring; behind Haatem in major 2yo races since but wasn't disgraced in the Coventry (6f) and the 7f trip may partly excuse his Superlative and Vintage efforts; not fully exposed at sprint distances. |

1st Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Beat just two rivals at Leicester in April (5f, soft); ran quite well in the Coventry but has more than 2l to find with Haatem on that form and he was beaten appreciably further by that rival when not getting home over 7f in the Group 2 Superlative; clearly up against it unless he can find a surge of improvement from somewhere. |
