26th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Last two wins at 6f but has been shaping as if this return to 5f will suit; defied higher marks twice under Pat Cosgrave in the summer of 2022 and holds major claims on that form. |

Won a big race over C&D in 2022 off 6lb higher; only 1lb higher than for her game success at Chelmsford in November but she'll need to be somewhere near her best on this return from five months off. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time winner and also first past the post in this race in 2022 (demoted to second after causing interference); well treated if retaining all his ability but he was tailed off in the Shergar Cup on his reappearance after a long absence, having hit his head on the stalls; risky. |
40/1 |

10th 4 (5) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time winner, not seen since finishing tenth in the Wokingham here in June 2024 (subsequently gelded); has run some good races at Ascot, including when fourth in this event two years ago, and he's well treated if retaining all his ability, but looks a risky proposition after such a long absence. |
20/1 |

10th 18 (21) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
His most recent wins were 6f on AW but he tends to flag over this trip on turf and his stride shortened in this race 12 months ago; on a more favourable mark now but others should find greater reserves in the later stages. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |
12/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum. |

9yo who's an eight-time Windsor winner, including this May and June; beat Amazonian Dream in the latter race and runner-up to him here next time, before not disgraced on a first crack at Brighton; reliable sort from off the pace and he has each-way claims again. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |

Eight-time Windsor winner, including twice of late, who's having a first run round here; ultra-consistent, especially considering his age and that he's usually dropped in, but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark; yard also responsible for Duskaura. |

Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |

Favourite for this race last year but his was one of the stalls to open late and his chance was compromised as a result; solid effort at Doncaster two weeks ago and rider's claim will help offset being 3lb out of the weights; effective on most ground and likely to go well. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |

Had an excuse (ground not fast enough) last time when failing by a long way to complete Stewards' Cup double; made all at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in his other two British runs this term, including the Wokingham; very useful handicapper when conditions are ideal. |
