23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Attentions concentrated on the Flat since his runaway handicap win at Royal Ascot last June; has not quite lived up to that dazzling display, this term running respectably in the Yorkshire Cup here and the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, seemingly stretched by 2m4f (good to firm) in the latter, before a lesser show at the Curragh five weeks ago; big player if back at his peak. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No ground worries; pretty reliable and got back on the scoresheet at Meydan (1m6f Group 3) in February, with a creditable second here in the Yorkshire Cup in May; 22l seventh in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f; 125-1) nine weeks ago when, unlike Caballo De Mar, he never figured; second (short-headed) and third in the last two editions of this race and has a place chance again. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
While his form since has not quite reached the heights of 2024, he's still been pretty reliable and got back on the scoresheet at Meydan (1m6f Group 3) in February; however, he twice found Trawlerman far too strong for him in Britain last season and couldn't match Rahiebb late on in last month's Yorkshire Cup; unraced beyond 2m but it's hard to envisage the new trip working sufficiently in his favour. |
66/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |

While form since has not quite reached the heights of 2024, he's still been pretty reliable and got back on the scoresheet at Meydan (1m6f Group 3) in February; third in a 2m Group 2 there in March when last seen; wore cheekpieces on last four starts; should be thereabouts. |

9st 2lb |
Won Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good) in 2023 and third in Group 2 Lonsdale Cup here (2m, good) in August 2024; absent since disappointing run in Saudi Arabia in February 2025 (wind op since) and returns with something to prove, but he's a major player if retaining his peak ability. |
9/2 |

5th 2 (3) |
13th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; supporting roles in his six races since but the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot was his only flop; career-best form in the Goodwood Cup next time, beaten a head by Sweet William for second; third at York (again 2m on good) last time was not at that level but some of the stars of the division are missing today and he has to be considered seriously. |
11/4 |

3rd 3 (1) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Took the 1m6f Queen's Vase from the front at Royal Ascot 2023; supporting roles in his five races since but the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot was his only disappointing show and he followed that with career-best form when third in the 2m Goodwood Cup late last month; effective here and he's one of the several leading candidates on form. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
In career-best form when at 1m6f-2m this season for three seconds and a fourth; the last two of those races were Group 2s at Goodwood (1m6f second against her own sex; ahead of Grateful) and York (2m fourth against the males) and she should be bang there once again. |
7/2 |

4th 8 (7) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Career-best form to be runner-up at York (1m6f Group 3, good to soft), Sandown (2m Listed, good) and Goodwood (1m6f Group 2, good to firm) in three of her four races this term; those two Group races were against her own sex and she faces a significantly stiffer task today. |

13th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; impressive over the extended 1m5f at Chester in May, galloping on relentlessly; first venture beyond that when disappointing favourite at York (2m) three weeks ago but he's nevertheless back for more in the Cup races and over an even longer trip this time; interesting to see whether his backers return. |

5th 4 (5) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Ran respectably sole start on good to firm; 0-8 in Group 1 races but has won five lesser Group contests and he's a leading contender on form; brother to the very smart Broome, who won at up to 2m, but he's not himself been beyond the extended 1m5f of his impressive Chester win in May; galloped on relentlessly that day, so has to be of major interest. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Has won on almost any going; front-runner at his best and he's a fine sight when in full flow, including with a win in this race in 2022; well beaten in it, however, in 2023 and 2024; in fact something was missing in all his first three races in 2024 and although he ended that campaign winning a minor race that September, he's not been seen since; it would be some feat if he could return with a win. |
25/1 |
|
1st 1 |
13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who won this race in 2021, on his way to four Group wins including the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; the major concern is that his only subsequent run last year was disappointing and something has also been missing in his three races this term, but this is a step down in class and he should still be good enough. |
8/13 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who gave his rivals the slip in this race two years ago and the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; the major concern is that his only subsequent run last year was disappointing and so were his two races this term. |

11st 10lb |
Very smart Flat horse for Andrew Balding; had wind surgery after his one blip over hurdles and then won at Musselburgh despite a slipping saddle (2m1f, good to soft); carries a penalty but looks a major player. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat in 2024; promising second on hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; took backwards step at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January but has had wind surgery since and he's a key player if back on song; versatile ground-wise. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding in July 2024; promising second on last month's hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) and this step up in trip may well be a positive; he's one to consider. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Not often seen on softer than good but he won on good to soft in June 2024; failed to shine at this meeting in 2024 or 2025, during a long losing run; he's broken that with two 2m wins on the AW this year, most notably in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle in June, and also second at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in May, but only mid-division behind Hopewell Rock at Goodwood three weeks ago; others seem more likely. |
40/1 |

7th 2 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2024 before embarking on a long losing run; he's broken that with two 2m wins on the AW this year, most notably in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last time; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in May was followed by a blip here; back up another 4lb since Newcastle but not entirely ruled out. |
12/1 |

1st 4 (14) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared at Kempton (2m, AW) in March with restored cheekpieces, which have been kept since; good second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing show at Goodwood five weeks ago. |

Off since a mixed hurdles campaign ended in March; formerly very smart on Flat but he's not scored in this sphere since 2023, had a disappointing 2025 and all wins have been on soft or heavy ground; tailed off in this race in 2024. |
