7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten a neck in a Newbury Group 3 a fortnight ago (5f, heavy) but she had a relatively easy time of it up front, with a rail to help, and the form doesn't appeal as being reliable; penalised for a Listed win in July; others appeal more. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins this season, namely a Chester handicap (5f, soft) in May and a York Listed event (5f, good to soft) in July; she's come up shy in Group 2 and Group 1 races the last twice but conditions shouldn't be an issue and she looks the likeliest leader in this field; should go well. |
7/2 |

9th 13 (2) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
She's opposable on the vast majority of her form but she was a C&D 2yo Listed winner in 2021 and had something to spare in a C&D Listed race (good to soft) last month; also effective on fast ground and she could be in with an each-way squeak now back here after a lesser run at Glorious Goodwood. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |
25/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |

3rd 7 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle in January and successful again over C&D last month; poorly drawn when fourth at Southwell last time; one to consider. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Well handicapped on the pick of last year's AW form and he may have needed his comeback run at Thirsk in May; however, this 9yo was well beaten and is without a win on turf since September 2021; others are more compelling. |
40/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past. |

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. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024, his last victory; yet to hit those heights for this yard and has been soundly beaten on his last three starts; 0-2 on the AW but did run well here behind Valiant Force in February; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time. |

11th 7 (17) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

High-class form for Clive Cox included a Group 2 win at Haydock in 2024; has failed to win since; last four runs for this stable not encouraging; mark sliding but needs to rediscover best; cheekpieces used for first time in Ireland. |

8st 12lb |
Placed in her first two starts for this yard before bolting up in a Class 4 handicap at Yarmouth in June (5f, good to firm); she's come up well short in two Listed events since, though, and is likely to do so again here. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |

4yo who posted a career best when easily winning Yarmouth handicap (5f, good to firm) in June, but she's since been soundly beaten in a Listed race at York (5f, good to soft); others are preferred. |

Back to winning ways with his Class 5 win at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May; respectable efforts twice since but he would be more appealing on slower ground. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

Left disappointing seasonal debut behind when scoring at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last month; not discredited in big field at Thirsk soon afterwards and has the inside draw here but others look better handicapped. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
0-9 since winning the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) in September 2023 but he's often run extremely well in the meantime, finishing placed in the 2024 and 2025 runnings of the King Charles III Stakes here (5f, good to firm) and third on last month's reappearance in the Group 2 Minster Stakes at York (6f, good); each-way contender at a track he obviously relishes. |
40/1 |

3rd 12 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Still capable of classy form, having been placed in the last two runnings of the 5f Group 1 at Royal Ascot; however, he's on a losing run, being 0-8 since landing the Sprint Cup at Haydock in 2023; getting on and returns to action as an 8yo. |
14/1 |
|
3 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has made into a high-class, dependable sprinter and he wasn't beaten far in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June; far from disgraced in another Group 1 at Deauville last time when the extended 6f possibly stretched his stamina; all his wins have come on good ground or firmer so rain could jeopardise his chance, but he's the one to beat on form in first-time blinkers. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |
20/1 |

19th 4 (18) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Smart front-runner on his day; the handicapper took a dim view of his Beverley win last September and he has found it tough going this time around, including at Redcar 11 days ago after a wind op; he is well handicapped again now though and should have a big run in him if his high draw proves no hindrance. |

8th 8 (4) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won on debut last July (6f, good to soft) and placed in 2yo Group races the next twice (including here); respectable sixth in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and, although she failed to threaten in last month's Nunthorpe, she could be firmly involved now back down in grade. |
4/1 |

25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Went close in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes here (6f, good) last August on her second 2yo start and ran well for a long way when sixth in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; lightly raced and this first attempt at 5f may be a plus but she has plenty to find on form. |
