7th 5 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
12-time winner, including 2024 edition of this race; has a bit to prove after two down-the-field finishes but faced tough task in Group 1 July Cup here last time and he looked as good as ever when creditable third in Group 3 on Rowley Mile here (6f, good) in April; in the shake-up if back on song. |
10/1 |

11th 6 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner, most recently when sent over to Qatar in February, but his form has regressed since and this is a difficult task even if a revival materialises; gained his C&D wins at handicap/Listed level; yet to score above Group 3. |
33/1 |
|
11th 11 (13) |
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. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Fine servant to connections, successful over C&D in February; however, he was below par at the Shergar Cup last time and is drawn wide today. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been in career-best form this year and posted course win number four when scoring over C&D (good) last month; got going too late once in the clear over 7f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago, when appearing to still be in good form, and he's high on the list now back up to 1m. |
11/1 |
|
10th 8 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better than ever aged eight and recent form features two course wins over 1m, taking Ascot record to 4-13; may ideally need that trip now and it was soft ground when he finished second in this contest 12 months ago. |
14/1 |
|
1st 7 (11) |

Won on this card 12 months ago and he was winning here for the third time when scoring over C&D (good to firm) in July; ran pretty well in fifth at Newmarket three weeks ago and could play a leading role back here. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Effective here (and on various ground); placed three times in a row this August/September (1m/7f) but only seventh of 18 in the Challenge Cup here (7f, soft) a fortnight ago and needs a bigger performance today. |
33/1 |
|
10 (3) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Returned in July from ten months off and has run well in his last three starts, third of nine at Sandown (7f, soft) last time, but he has managed to win only one of his last 25 starts and is still 5lb higher; addition of a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |
25/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Shaped well on reappearance (found trouble) and bang there in his subsequent races, over 1m at Newmarket and C&D 13 days ago (first-time cheekpieces); hard to offer any excuses on either occasion and, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right. |

30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won three over this trip for Marco Botti but does most racing now over 7f and does need things to fall just so (landed only one of his last 21); 4lb above his last successful mark and needs to improve on this spring's two efforts. |

Hold-up performer who needs everything to fall right for him but he's capable off this sort of mark, as when motoring home for second at Newcastle last August; should be sharper for last month's reappearance sixth to Chola Empire at Southwell. |

Two wins earlier this year and he's been running well in defeat across the past few months, including over C&D and on soft ground here; there is every chance that he will be thereabouts once more. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 (3) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has won and finished close up in all three C&D handicaps; on his latest winning mark for last five starts but he's been involved in tight finishes in the most recent two (7f and this C&D) so is entitled to figure. |
6/1 |

4th 8 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

A dual 7f winner early in 2026 and he's holding his form well, beaten a nose when second of five in 7f Ayr handicap 25 days ago; this C&D scorer can make his presence felt. |

7yo who was well beaten in Bahrain and at Chester on his last two starts; however, he was drawn wide at Chester and showed some good form in Bahrain in January; he's run really well on both previous attempts at this C&D and is not ruled out each-way off a competitive mark. |

9st 7lb |
In top form with 6f wins on last two starts, at Newmarket and Ascot, but they were both on good to firm and it's rare to see him on ground slower than good; needs new skills today but this mark shouldn't be beyond him, despite being 2lb badly in under penalty. |
