30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten just a neck in this race in 2024 (good to firm) and heavy ground was against her when a below-par third 12 months ago; won the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York (1m2f, good) this May for the second year running; well beaten in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last month and now 0-13 in Group 1 races, but she's still entitled to respect back against her own sex. |
9/2 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Secured back-to-back Group 2 Middleton wins at York (10.5f, good to firm/good) last month; went very close to making Group 1 breakthrough in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last October but beaten just over 4l by Ombudsman when third in this last year (good to firm) and it's likely that her limitations will again be exposed today. |
16/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Pulverised her seven rivals in this on her second outing of last season, scoring by a whopping 12l on good to firm; couldn't quite reproduce that high-class RPR at Group 1 level in five subsequent outings in 2025 but mostly ran well, including a close second in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, soft); didn't have much to spare at the line when 1-3 for a 1m2f Nottingham Listed race on reappearance but cruised through most of that contest and will likely be a lot closer to her best this time; again the one to beat in this. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Enhanced his good strike-rate in Bahrain with Group 3 success in April; weakened into last of six (well below par) at Newbury since and it's nearly two years since he last prevailed on home soil; doubts are cemented by this difficult assignment back up in grade. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |

Four Listed wins before he added a 1m4f Group 3 success in Bahrain 15 days ago; stacks of smart form in his lengthy career and none of it better than that latest start, but a bit extra will be needed to win this. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but has dropped down the weights and was 4l third of 13 to The Lost King over C&D (good to firm) last month; each-way claims if acting on the ground; his last win came on heavy going but subsequent slow-ground form has been mixed. |
20/1 |

3rd 3 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He's contested quality handicaps at Newbury and Ascot on his three starts this term, performing respectably and beaten around 4l each time; this 7yo probably needs something extra to snap a long losing run but he's edging down the weights and has run some big races here; worth a second look. |
10/1 |

10th 14 (30) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Very useful on his day and has plenty of Listed/Group form; however, needs to improve on his Newbury handicap efforts this season (beaten 4l both times) and remains badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell stretching back to 2023. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September and reappeared with seventh of 11 in the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); kept on for fair seventh of 19 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time and this step back up in to 1m may well be the right move; not discounted in a first-time tongue-tie. |

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. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
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. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Left the Bottis after penultimate start; only second race over as far as 1m2f when straight back to his best in five-runner Listed race at Newbury (good to firm) three weeks ago, asserting in the final 1f; needs to find a bit extra in this company but that was a cracking start for his new stable. |
100/30 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Peak efforts were in June/July last year, including when second in the 8.5f Group 3 Diomed at Epsom, a race in which he underperformed on latest outing; left the Bottis since; has only once raced over this far (2023, bit below form) and balance of form suggests this will be a tough task. |
20/1 |

7 (4) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Finished behind Docklands at Ascot last time but, unlike that rival, already has Epsom form having finished second in this race 12 months ago (good to soft; one of his best efforts); still seeking first Group win but has each-way claims back in the Diomed. |

9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |
13/2 |

8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |

9st 7lb |
Won a strong conditions event over 1m1f at Goodwood last year on good to firm but missed the same race last week when the rain arrived; career-best RPR when fourth in 1m2f Saudi Group 2 in February and although he came last to Haatem in Royal Ascot Listed race (second in it last year) in June, getting badly hampered accounts for that; major player if the ground is okay. |

Gelded before reappearing in May with a Listed win at Haydock (7f, good to firm); however, he needs a bigger performance to take this and three lesser runs have followed in Group races; the last two were in blinkers, which are now joined by a tongue-tie. |

0-4 over 1m+ last year; dropped in trip and made all in 7f Listed race at Haydock in May but didn't give his running in Group 3 over same C&D three weeks later; now runs in a sprint for the first time since his (winning) debut and also tackles the AW for the first time, so he has a bit to prove, although first-time blinkers could have a positive effect. |
