9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time winner including Listed and Group 3 races here over 1m on good ground; not a bad effort in first handicap start since 2023 at the Curragh last time (denied a clear run) and eased 1lb for that; goes well here and firmly enters calculations upped in trip. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Ground versatile; seven-time winner (including at Group 3 and Listed level); running respectably in stakes company this term and is 2-2 in handicaps, though hasn't run in one since winning off 1lb higher at Naas in 2023; course winner interesting with rider taking off 5lb. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Confirmed his liking for this venue when winning a Listed race here last season (Mutasarref a neck behind), his second C&D win; improving for each outing this season and should run his race but a rating of 99 leaves him with a fair amount to find with a few of these rivals. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winner on a handy mark but it's been a quiet start to this season and, even if back on song, looks vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far; the return of a visor might be no bad thing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D scorer who made a promising return from a poor draw when seventh of 22 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; figures on a handy-looking mark now and he's interesting. |
10/1 |

7th 5 (21) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended winless 2025 campaign with a placed effort in an above-average seller; starts his 2026 season off 8lb below his last winning mark but chance partly depends on the weather as he's best on ground softer than good. |

14th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark in a 5.5f Bath handicap in June (firm) during a short tenure with Mick Appleby, and almost cashed in his lower mark on synthetics at Kempton latest (6f; stable debut), but mixed messages previously as to whether he truly stays 7f; jockey rode first double on Monday night. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
30th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 3yo who won one of his three runs for Mick Appleby, a fast-ground Bath handicap over their extended 5f; best form is on turf but a lower AW rating heightens interest on stable debut (bought for 10,000gns). |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
4th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 12th attempt (second for this yard) when keeping on well to win a 5.5f handicap at Bath last week; has form over this longer trip but he'll need further progress if he's to defy a 6lb penalty. |
3/1 |
Verdict
An interesting little contest featuring three previous winners. SHADOWED has the advantage of race-fitness and the form of his Curragh maiden win has been boosted by the runner-up in winning readily at Cork. Lord Massusus has slightly stronger credentials than Spirit Genie but has to give him 3lb. [Alan Sweetman]
