9st 5lb |
Consistent in the main and versatile ground-wise, she gained a deserved big prize in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes (8.5f; against fillies and mares) at Epsom in June; however, she's been beaten on her three starts since and her limitations are again likely to be exposed this afternoon. |

9st 7lb |
Consistent filly who's done nothing wrong this season, backing up her Epsom Group 3 win with a solid effort in Group 2 at Royal Ascot in first-time headgear; a penalty leaves her a bit to find but she's fine round easy, turning courses (can lug left) and should give her running as usual dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers. |

Still smart but has drawn a blank since taking a Meydan Listed race in December 2023 and the likelihood is the wait for his next win will go on. |

Won his 2yo maiden over C&D when based in Ireland; last win was a Meydan Listed race in 2023, but he's kept good company during his losing stretch; remains capable of smart form and might have gone close in a valuable 7f handicap at Galway had he not been caught in a pocket; considered. |

Has blown hot and cold this season, best efforts when beaten a nose in Group 2 Duke of York (6f, good) in May and when winning Group 3 at Deauville (6f, good to soft) in July; faced stiff task but well held even so in Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock last week; has a chance if on a going day. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 1-29 on turf, but he's on a much lower mark in this sphere and didn't get the breaks when a close fifth at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; has claims if he can back that up and this return to 6f is a positive. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |

He is a better horse on AW than turf; a much lower mark in this sphere reflects that but his 1-28 record on the grass doesn't mark him down as the likely winner of this. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
From three visits to York he's won a Gimcrack and finished an unlucky-in-running second in this 12 months ago; gelding operation has triggered a further upturn in his fortunes, winning Listed/Group 2 races over this trip (good ground) on either side of a close fifth in the 6f Group 1 sprint at Royal Ascot (running on); it was his second run in as many days at Glorious Goodwood (after winning the Lennox) when traffic issues scuppered all hope in the Sussex Stakes; the worry is this week's rain as he's had precious little racing on ground softer than good and hasn't shone when he has. |
11/2 |

7th 2 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded prior to this season's impressive win at Haydock (7f Listed) and respectable fifth at Royal Ascot (6f Group 1); his 1m form comprises a respectable fifth in the 2025 Queen Anne and two lesser efforts on Australian soil; still needs to prove he's a genuine miler but he arrived late to win the 7f Group 2 Lennox here yesterday and is probably in the form of his life. |

1st 2 (4) |

Gelded prior to impressive win at Haydock (7f Listed) and respectable fifth at Royal Ascot (6f Group 1) this season; fared best of the runners from off the pace when second to Witness Stand in this contest 12 months ago; top on ratings in this bid to go one better. |
