28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Group 1-class sprinter at his best but it's been a struggle this season since an encouraging start at Listed level and he now has his sights lowered for a first crack at a handicap; has a lot of weight and perhaps better at 6f than 5f. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has an underwhelming strike-rate for a horse of his ability and losing spell goes back over two years; that said, has spent over half of his career in Group 1 races, best effort when third in the 2024 Commonwealth Cup; drops back in class after a heavy defeat at this year's Royal Ascot. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's tumbling down the weights and this represents a drop in class; 7f the query. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's dropped 8lb for her efforts; a revival isn't out of the question. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Tough filly who landed two Listed races last season; hasn't quite recaptured her best in two runs this season and this looks a hot race for the grade; apprentice unable to claim his 5lb either. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
No win since 2023 but he has raced mainly over 5f for new yard and may show the benefit of this return to 6f; attractively treated on plenty of form and can't be dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023, but he's started for Robert Cowell with a trio of creditable efforts in competitive handicaps; could click for this yard at some point. |
15/2 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023; in the meantime he has often attracted support, favourite in the 2024 Stewards' Cup and last season's Ayr Gold Cup; two perfectly creditable efforts for Robert Cowell this year and he showed promise in one Tapeta run last spring; not discounted for a trainer who runs four. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
5yo front-runner who has been better than ever this year, comfortably winning a handicap at York (5f, good) in May and posting a fine fifth of 26 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month; third in Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) recently and he could build on those last two efforts, which were on stiff tracks, now on a downhill course; respected. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer started his campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Newmarket (5f, good) and York (5f, good); yet to score at Pattern level but huge runs the last twice in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good) and when a 1.5l fifth of 26 in the King Charles III (5f, gd-fm) at Royal Ascot; fourth in this last year and should be in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
5th 6 (23) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
3-30 turf strike-rate doesn't do justice to his ability and he confirmed his recent improvement when a highly creditable fourth, again from the front, in a Group 2 at Haydock (good to soft; acts well on good) in May; this stiffer track and tougher opposition are likely to count against him. |

1st 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins over 5f; has a hold up style which dictates that he needs things to fall right but he's now 8lb lower than when second to Roach Power at Ascot (5f, soft) last autumn and he didn't run too badly in a series final at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; considered with Roger Teal among the winners. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins over 5f; stays further, having finished better than anything when third of 21 in the Portland at Doncaster (extended 5f, good) last September but this is only his second run in a 6f turf handicap (faded in the first of them) so still has stamina to prove. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Of interest from a handicapping perspective, 3lb lower than when a close third in last season's Portland at Doncaster (5.6f, good); not beaten far into fifth at Windsor 18 days ago; not easy to win with but likely to give a good account. |

2nd 9 (10) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
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. |
50/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won this race in 2024 and finished that campaign with a superb success in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (firm); lightly raced since (had a spell at stud) and well below par this season; needs first-time visor to spark a revival. |
14/1 |
|
23th 12 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Smart 5f form as 3yo included close third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York and a win in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (firm); just four runs since, best of those when fourth of 20 in this race last year when ending up away from the main action; went to stud after (that career is on hold for now) and needs his recent Carlisle reappearance to have brought him on plenty. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two Listed wins at about 5f - at York (good to firm) as 2yo and Chantilly (heavy) on comeback - but she needs to recapture form now back at 6f and, even if she does, others have stronger form at the trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
20th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two Listed wins, over 5f as 2yo (good to firm) and on reappearance at Chantilly (extended 5f, heavy); best effort since the latter when just losing out in 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood but she ran flat behind Star Of Lady M at York next time which tempers enthusiasm. |
12/1 |
|
11th 2 (11) |
21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Acts on any ground; dual Listed winner, including over C&D last season; returned to form when close second in Glorious Goodwood handicap (5f) latest; still looks favourably treated back up just 2lb; respected. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Latest win came in a claimer and he was never a threat back in a handicap at Chester last time; fully exposed and others appeal more. |
22/1 |

7th 12 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Normally ridden to be produced late, as when successful at Salisbury (7f, good) in June, but was given a straightforward ride to land a claimer over C&D (good) 20 days ago; this looks tougher however and more is required. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
The last run wasn't his best (four ran) but he was bang there in his four previous races, all handicaps at 7f/1m; drops into a claimer on favourable terms and must have every chance; has run well here before. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to his useful 2yo form when winning twice at Kempton (6f, AW) in the winter, but hasn't built on it and failed to beat a rival at Windsor (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; application of cheekpieces will need to bring about a resurgence. |
14/1 |
|
10th 2 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Improved AW form over 6f last winter, but wasn't on his game when last seen on sand in April and he made it 0-11 on grass when beaten about 5l at Newmarket in May; may have his share of weight on balance of turf form. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
0-11 on turf with his best efforts coming on slower than good; back up in the weights after a productive AW campaign and he has enough to prove back on turf, all the more so after his tame effort at Newcastle on Good Friday. |

9st 12lb |
Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |
100/30 |

7th 7 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 6f 150y |
9st 11lb |
Only one win from 26 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year; hard to fancy on recent form |
