9st 10lb |
Won the Golden Mile here (good to firm) last August and third in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f, soft) in September; he's failed to shine this season but is on a handy mark if the return to Goodwood prompts a revival. |

He hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he is a tough and reliable performer who was as good as ever with his excellent second of eight in a Group 2 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago; sets the standard and looks the one to beat. |

Made a solid return to Britain when chasing home Jonquil in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May but comfortably held in the Royal Hunt Cup back here since; has yet to win above Group 3 level and it's likely that will remain the case. |

Runner-up in C&D Listed contest last time, maintaining his consistency; Royal Ascot record includes a debut success in the 2022 Chesham and creditable fifth (off 7lb lower) in this race in 2024; Jack Nicholls takes off a useful 5lb; solid contender who again should give his running. |

10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

6yo who has been better than ever this season; third of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in July and again ran well when fourth of 13 to Hickory over this C&D (good) last month; he has the same career-high mark as last time but might have an each-way squeak. |

Won a competitive handicap at Newbury (1m, good) in May and ran really well when third of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) latest, when he had to wait for room; also effective here and could be in the mix. |

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

Tough 7yo with a fine C&D record; might have needed the run at Glorious Goodwood after five months off, and fared much better when fourth at Chester two weeks ago; that should have put him spot-on for this and he has real each-way claims. |

First of two wins over C&D came in this contest in 2024 off 4lb lower; had a fruitful AW winter campaign; reported to have met with a setback when being readied for Chester's May meeting and returned only when beating just one home in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) recently; has a high draw to contend with here and is 3lb higher than his last winning mark. |

7yo who is without a win since September 2023 and doesn't appear to be the force of old, but he returned from a break at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June and that seventh gives him something to build on; on reduced mark and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |

Five AW wins include a C&D success in January off a 7lb higher mark than today's; could have done with a stronger gallop when fifth of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and was reported to have lost a shoe when down the field at Chepstow three weeks ago (only 1-25 on turf); could bounce back returned to this surface. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three wins in Britain have all come over 1m at York but he is fully effective at other tracks and he wasn't beaten far in his one Sandown run back in June 2022 (1m, good to firm); rain won't bother him and he's slipped to a dangerous mark but he will need a good pace to aim at back at 7f; stable have won the last two runnings. |

Scored just once in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but on the last three occasions it was over 1m in the summer at York and in 2022 it was in this race; 14th and 13th in the last two runnings of it, with reappearance the pick of his mixed record this season, but he's much too well handicapped to be ignored. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

His last win was in 2023 but he's generally reliable and the form of his latest third at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) has been boosted by the runner-up since; this is his first attempt beyond 1m2f but he's on a dangerous mark and has been a strong finisher in most of his runs this season; respected. |

No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |

8yo whose losing sequence is up to 15 following a disappointing run at Hamilton (1m, soft) last time; however, he was runner-up twice in a row prior to that (7f, good to soft/soft; including here) and is usually right at home on testing ground; he could bounce back with a big performance. |
