Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

9st 8lb |
Wasn't at her best behind some of these at Ascot a fortnight ago in a race in which she had previously finished first and second; blinkers now replaced by cheekpieces, in which she was second off 1lb higher in one of the handicaps at Royal Ascot. |
14/1 |

8th 5 (10) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Reliable here over the years, winning this race in 2021 (good to firm) and runner-up 12 months ago (good to soft); another stout effort when second of 19 in the Kensington Palace in June and surprising if she isn't involved again. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
17th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Tapeta winner (at Newcastle) who has been running well since headgear was applied, especially when placed in her last three starts on turf; three of her last four outings on the AW have been in Listed company so she should find this a bit easier, but she still has plenty on against the 3yos. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on the soft on Flat for nearly two years; progressive last season, most notably on good to firm with his win at Royal Ascot (2m4f) and second in this race; failed to shine at Ascot on first two starts this season (every chance over 1f out at the Royal meeting) before never dangerous when 40-1 in a recent Leopardstown Group 3; off the same mark as 12 months ago, however, this Irish St Leger entry could be dangerous to dismiss. |
22/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Progressive last season, completing a hat-trick in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes; continued on the upgrade when second to Ethical Diamond in the Ebor at York (1m6f); has failed to recapture his best form in two trips to Ascot this season; was getting 6lb from the Mullins horse in the Ebor, now rated 20lb inferior. |
20/1 |
|
10th 1 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Cork Derby over 1m4f before following up in the 2m4f handicap on this card 12 months ago (good to firm) and that golden spell continued when second in the Ebor at York (1m6f); only 2lb higher than at York so he's not handicapped out of this, and last month's run in a Group 3 after 215 days away should have brought him on fitness-wise; respected. |

Two wins from ten starts over C&D include a success in April off 3lb lower; didn't look in a great mood at Ascot last time but he still ran well to finish fairly close fourth; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |
6/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won over C&D in April and he went close on Polytrack and turf in his next two starts; didn't really fire at Newmarket (1m, good) last time but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best. |

Two Sandown wins under David Dunsdon in 2025, including this race on good (other win on good to firm); back on form returned to turf and reunited with his owner/rider when seeing off seven rivals at Goodwood (1m, soft) eight weeks ago; raised 6lb but his good record in these races affords him plenty of respect. |

Two Sandown wins in 2025 at 1m and 1m2f (good and good to firm; acts on soft) under David Dunsdon; recent AW defeats can be glossed over and he's weighted to go well; one of the stronger options. |

2nd 6 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Getting on for two years since his last win but this C&D winner has dropped to a tempting mark and he didn't run badly in a stronger race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) six weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb too; high on the list. |

Has been well beaten first time out in each of his three seasons, so it may be best to forgive last month's Kempton reappearance (1m, AW); won over C&D as a 2yo and back off the same mark as when winning at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer; drying ground in his favour and respected for stable that won this with Mamillius in 2019 and 2022. |
