1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Second to Waardah in this last year and fourth to Santorini Star and Consent in Group 2 at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) last September; routed her rivals in Listed event (1m2f, heavy) in November and reappeared with Group 3 win at York (1m6f, good; made most at 1-2) ten weeks ago; unraced on good to firm since 2024 (comfortably held); serious player if the ground is okay. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Likeable 5yo who signed off for last year with a demolition job on 17 rivals in Listed event at Doncaster (1m2f, heavy) in November; possibly ideally suited by the mud but drying ground should not inconvenience her unduly and she has made the frame in two Group 2 races over 1m6f; the one to beat if giving her running after a winter break. |
8/11 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort last season was over 1m4f on heavy ground in October and she's shown similar form in Group 2s over about 1m6f in her only two starts this term, keeping Waardah up to her work at Goodwood on first occasion; a fair bit extra will be needed from her if she's to win this. |

3rd 1 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who has won the last two runnings of this race (good to firm/good to soft) and has run well on both starts this season, most recently posting a cosy Listed win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm); leading claims. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dual Group 3 scorer at Sandown (1m2f) and Goodwood (1m4f) in 2025; resumed from six months off with a very good second of six in Newbury's John Porter Stakes in April so this veteran looks the one to beat dropped into Listed company here. |
8/13 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held up; eight Group 3 wins are already in the bag, including this race in 2021 (his only appearance in it); has a slightly mixed reappearance record but he was almost as good as ever with his two wins last term, including first time out, and a return to that level would make this 9yo the one to beat. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced since winning both races at two; ran okay in two Group 3s to start this season but has struggled to land a blow in 2m4f/1m6f handicaps the last twice; in calmer waters here but with a bit to prove. |
10/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
4yo who has had only seven races and acts on any going; fourth in 1m4f Group 3 at Newbury on reappearance hinted he may have staying potential; although running creditably, his subsequent 2m Group 3 and 2m4f Royal Ascot handicap didn't really prove his stamina and he now has his first go at 1m6f; whatever his ideal trip may be, he needs some improvement. |
12/1 |
|
11th 6 (14) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
4yo who has had only six races; keeping on for fourth over 1m4f at Newbury (good) on 2025 reappearance hinted he may have staying potential; that wasn't confirmed over 2m here (good to firm) later in April, in his third Group 3, but that was a slowly run race and this is his first handicap. |

Twice a winner on soft and third in last October's 2yo Group 1 on heavy at Doncaster; soundly beaten in the Derby on fourth run this season; first-time cheekpieces and back near the Doncaster form when second of five in Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in July on latest outing but he has something to find with the comfortable winner Kalpana; makes AW debut. |
