1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
He's run well on both visits to Goodwood, latest a close third in 1m2f Listed race here (good) in May after an absence, and the late headway he made when eighth in the Listed Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) suggests this step up in trip could be a good move; each-way chance. |

Best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in this race (good to firm); showed enough to think he retains all his ability when third in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good) on reappearance 25 days ago; could reach the frame in this again. |

Unlucky second at Glorious Goodwood in 2024 when bidding for a notable 1m2f handicap double; best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in Listed grade at Royal Ascot; should be thereabouts, provided he's in top form after ten-month layoff. |

He wasn't at his very best last year but took a step back in the right direction when front-running fourth of 21 off this mark in the Lincoln at Doncaster five weeks ago on first run for new yard; no stamina worries but there is a concern about good to firm ground. |

He wasn't at his very best last year for George Boughey, albeit he did finish third in the Listed Doncaster Mile over C&D (good to soft) on this card; now down to a mark 3lb lower than when runner-up in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft) in July 2024 and his new trainer is a dab hand with topweights in big handicaps; goes well fresh and could have a big say. |

Beaten on his last 13 starts going back to May 2024 but he's run some big races and wasn't discredited in his two starts this term; third and tenth in the last two runnings of this race; claimer ridden for the first time as a handicapper and worth a second look despite wide draw. |

Made no impact last autumn in first two handicaps (1m2f/1m6f, soft) and absent since; however, his trainer has won this three times since 2011, including with the reappearing Sinjaari in 2020, and this lightly raced 4yo showed considerable promise earlier last year; very interesting contender. |

A win and two seconds at novice level, best form when beaten a neck at Hamilton (1m3f, good to soft) in August; rather disappointing when favourite for 1m2f handicap debut at Doncaster (soft) but there's been a rethink about his trip; trainer (runs two) won this race in 2019 and 2022. |

2024 Chesterfield Cup winner for Johnny Murtagh; failed to find his best form last season, including a spell in Britain; beaten favourite here behind the useful Genoah in two starts for this stable (handicap and a rated race); has run well enough in defeat both times, and is attractively treated on his old form. |

Probably acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; reliable 7yo who's never been better than this season (1m2f-2m); also seems to have found his limits but perhaps a handicap such as this will suit him better than the much smaller-field Group/Listed race's he's contested on last three starts. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off a reduced mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June but he dropped right out in his follow-up bid there two weeks later; now drops back in trip but he's not easy to predict and has had only three AW runs in his 42-race career; others preferred. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
10st 11lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful Flat handicapper) but runner-up on latest three starts in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain; twice at Stratford and most recently after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); handicap debut and doesn't exactly appear thrown in. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice in a row in Bahrain earlier this year and didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Windsor in June following a three-month break; could build on that latest run and continues to drop down the weights, but he's without a win since July 2023 and others are more compelling. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was almost two years ago; two placed efforts in Bahrain (1m1f/1m2f) earlier this year but he returned to Britain with a heavy defeat at Kempton in March; now drops back in grade but he's hard to predict and comes with risks attached after a break. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when second in this race last year off 11lb higher, the last of only three ventures on AW; that has to catch the eye and he also has a chance on turf form for Charlie Johnston as recent as September; fit from placed efforts in Bahrain for new yard this year and a case can be made. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Looked very promising early in career; mixed fortunes since but beaten just a neck at Yarmouth in August last time (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on softer), when clear with unexposed Godolphin winner, and he's not ruled out. |
