2nd 6 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Eight wins, including three in stakes races; has been regressive this year; down from an official rating of 107 in March to 88; duly took advantage of his reduced mark at Galway this week; carries 7lb penalty; however, not overburdened, and the win may have restored his confidence. |

1st 1 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 98y |
10st 0lb |
Seven wins, including three in stakes races; has been regressive this year; down from an official rating of 107 in March to a current 88; fair fifth in the 7f Ahonoora Handicap here at the festival; mid-division in the Irish Cambridgeshire ten days ago; would feature in this company if recovering anything close to his best form. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a first win since 2024 at Pontefract (1m) in August; backed it up with a good fifth of 17 in 1m2f Doncaster handicap eight days ago so he's a player in this grade. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Acts on most ground; capitalised on a career-low mark with a comfortable success at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month; back up 5lb and he's yet to prove himself over this longer trip. |
12/1 |

1st 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f on good or slower; on the slide in three starts this season but this combination of a drop in grade and new headgear may prompt a resurgence; return to shorter is also a plus; shortlisted. |

7th 4 (9) |
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]
