3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who plundered the Lockinge and Lennox in a golden spell in 2024; winless since but had been competitive in minor Group races for current stable this year until a lesser effort in the Joel at Newmarket last week. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but he's been winless since taking out a Goodwood Group 2 six weeks later; running creditably for his new yard since May, however, including when second of seven in Leopardstown Group 2 (1m, good) in this headgear combination a fortnight ago; place claims again. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but winless since later that year; however, has run plenty of fine races in defeat since joining this yard including twice at this track lately and once at the Curragh; can be keen so a hood is added to cheekpieces today; a bit to find. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races up with pace; fine sprinter over the years but the majority of his big wins have come at the Curragh, where he's won five Group races; well beaten over this C&D when last seen in November and, although he'd be dangerous on a going day, others seem more likely to give their running. |
20/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2023 and showed he's still capable of smart form when winning the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) three weeks ago; however, he's some way down the pecking order on this year's form and others appeal more. |
22/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
A regular visitor to these parts and has won here four times, including this race in 2021 and 2022; ran a blinder in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last month; below best in Flying Five two weeks ago; could rebound stepped back up in trip. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is a two-time Group 1 winner and has an excellent record in this race, with form figures of 1213; reappeared with head second to Ten Bob Tony in Group 3 John Of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7f, good) two months ago when carrying a 5lb penalty; no penalty today and he has leading claims. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) last September and runner-up in Group 1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) next time; carries 5lb penalty and may improve for this reappearance outing but he's a class act who is entitled to respect; won this in 2021 and close third in 2022. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Looked destined for the top when thrashing 25 opponents in 7f handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 but he never quite kicked on for Ed Walker; back to winning ways over 7f/1m for his new trainer in Dubai early in the year; up and down since returning to Britain but he's capable of a prominent showing. |

6th 1 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins at Meydan for current yard; best effort since returned to British soil when second in small field at Hamilton; rather weighted to the hilt on 2026 form but Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb. |
8/1 |
|
16th 5 (22) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a Meydan double early this year; came up short in the Royal Ascot handicap he'd won in 2024 but ran respectably, behind an unbeaten rival, at Hamilton most recently; has to overcome the widest draw returned to a bigger stage. |

14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who ran creditably in the frame in 7f Group 3s at Haydock and Newmarket in June but was below par when fifth (2l behind Kinross) in the Lennox at Goodwood last time; fully exposed and would be a surprise winner. |
25/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who was a short head behind Kinross when third in this race two years ago; his enthusiasm appears to remain intact at the age of eight, but his losing run is up to 12 and he finished just over 2l behind Noble Dynasty when fourth of five in a Group 3 on the Newmarket July Course last month; unlikely to gain an uncontested lead here and has a bit to find in any case. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) in June 2024 and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) two months later; has had only two runs since then but latest was a creditable second in a Listed event at Haydock last May; now returns after another lengthy absence but he has a good strike-rate and needs a close look for in-form yard. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (5) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt over C&D last June and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; Kikkuli fourth) two months later; probably unsuited by very testing ground when well held in French Group 1 final start; escapes a penalty for those Group wins but he's taken a couple of runs to find his best form in the last two seasons. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |

Short-headed in a Group 2 at Meydan (7f, good) in January but he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since, most recently at the Curragh. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced for his age and has a 7-13 strike-rate; conceded 15lb to English Oak when making all to beat him by 2l in a handicap on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket (7f, good) in May, and showed he didn't have to lead when landing a Group 3 on the July Course there (7f, good to firm) last month; still seems to be improving at the age of six and is not opposed lightly. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who took his record to six wins from 12 starts when displaying improved form to make all in a handicap on the Rowley course here (7f, good) eight weeks ago; while he enjoyed the run of that race he did record an RPR which would have been good enough to win three of the last six runnings of this. |
