17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
5yo who hasn't been at his brilliant best this year, even allowing for two Group 1 wins; runner-up when bidding for a repeat win in the Group 1 King George here (1m4f, good to firm) in July when last seen; however, the subsequent break may have helped and he was hugely impressive when beating Ombudsman by just over 2l in this race 12 months ago (good); he will be very tough to beat if turning up in that sort of form. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
His flop in the Coronation Cup at Epsom last month can be excused by the substantial rain and he showed he was none the worse when winning the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; had just a neck to spare last time but did well to come from the back of the pack off a stop-start gallop; he's a six-time winner at the top level, including of this race last year, and holds leading claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Superstar gelding who has a record of 222211111 since racing at Group 1 level and is the highest-rated racehorse in the world; couldn't quite get past Jan Brueghel in this race last year but turned the tables in the King George and is on an impressive roll going into another rematch with that rival; prevailed at Meydan (Sheema Classic) last time despite the race not panning out ideally; duly strongly respected, assuming the ground is okay (not certain to run if it's a slog scenario). |

9st 7lb |
French gelding who has a record of 222211 since upped to Group 1 level, latest win coming in the King George at Ascot (1m4f, good); went down by only half a length when favourite for this race 12 months ago (soft) on last 1m2f attempt; major contender, especially if getting a strong pace to aim at. |
