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. |

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. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 win over 6f in 2023; fourth, behind a couple of reopposing rivals, in this race 12 months ago; two good runs this year (Meydan/Royal Ascot) and returning to 6f no bad thing; should be in the thick of it. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In foal to Frankel; sold to new owners for 3,000,000gns last December and broke her Group 1 duck with Meydan success (6f) on reappearance; didn't live up to market expectations returned to 5f at Royal Ascot, albeit not ideally drawn; normally consistent and made the frame in several top sprints prior to her Dubai performance; likely to rebound. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Very reliable mare who stood a tough 2024 season with fortitude, regularly on the premises in the top sprints, including when fourth, having every chance, in this one (the first of two runs at the meeting); she achieved more when going down only narrowly from a poor draw in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (5f, good to firm) in August; sold for 3,000,000gns in December; returned to action with a Group 1 win at Meydan (6f) in April and she looks set for another big run at the top level. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Prominent racer who comes firmly into the reckoning on her neck second to Mill Stream in the July Cup; last month's seventh at Haydock is best ignored as she was poorly drawn; versatile ground-wise and she shaped well when fourth to Art Power in this race 12 months ago; impossible to rule out. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raced alone on the near side when fine fourth in this last year (good) and this front-runner has gone close in 6f Group 1s the last twice, namely the Jubilee (good to firm) and the July Cup (good); seems versatile ground-wise; another bold bid can be expected; firmly in calculations. |

9st 9lb |
Won the 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot in 2023 and 2024 and added 5.5f Grade 2 win at Keeneland last October; however, this 10yo wasn't at his best at Meydan in March on his sole run this year, and the drop back to 5f and the forecast slow ground are likely negatives. |
33/1 |

10th 4 (10) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Best on good or quicker; his trainer has done so well to keep him to such a high level over the years and he's 2-2 here (including this race in 2022) as well as winning two Group 1s at Royal Ascot, the latest only last June; however, yesterday's rain won't have been welcomed. |
20/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

C&D winner; two Group 1 wins at Royal Ascot (2023 and 2024; both 6f, good to firm); not far off his best when second in a Grade 2 in America last September; returns from 315 days off though and whether he'll retain all his ability as a 9yo is a moot point. |

Posted a personal best when picking up well from off the pace to land the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket by a neck from Swingalong; perhaps feeling the effects of several hard races when only fifth of 16 in French Group 1 next time, but he now returns from 11 weeks off and may not have reached his ceiling just yet; goes well on a soft surface. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Highly progressive last year (including on fast ground) and better than ever when landing the Group 2 Duke Of York Stakes (6f, good) last month; got up late on at York, suggesting today's stiffer course may well be a positive, and this thriving 4yo holds solid claims. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Successful in major handicap in 2023 and a few Group races since but balance of 2026 form suggests he's unlikely to defy top weight in this field. |

6th 1 (12) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ended last season with a game win in Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) in October; repeatedly met trouble when only seventh in Saudi Arabia (a race he'd won two years earlier) in February and things didn't really go his way again in a Listed race at Doncaster last month; has possibilities on this drop back in class and his last handicap win was off 1lb higher. |

Triple Group 3 scorer; failed to beat a rival when last seen but is likely to rebound, having performed well in this contest for the last two years (close second in 2022, won in 2023); now an 8yo and it's a deeper renewal but he's very hard to dismiss. |

8st 13lb |
Hit the handicap heights when winning the Wokingham over C&D in 2023 on debut for Archie Watson, then close up in the Group 1 Maurice de Gheest; desperately hard to place in handicaps since but he's had wind surgery since last seen in October and, even at this late stage, he might well turn it on for Kevin Ryan off a 17lb lower mark than at the start of last year. |
9/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
0-19 since winning the Wokingham on stable debut in 2023 and this 7yo has regressed; however, having dropped down the weights he hasn't run badly on his last two starts and drops down in grade today; not ruled out. |

Capable of smart form, such as placed efforts in two July Cups, but is getting long in the tooth and seems unlikely to break his Abernant duck at the fourth attempt (record in this race reads 404); losing spell goes back almost three years. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well at long odds in several Group 1s, including when second in this race in 2022 (150-1) and when third to No Half Measures in this year's July Cup (40-1), but he was never a threat in the Sprint Cup six weeks ago and his overall record is none too consistent. |

Runner-up in the July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in 2023 and, having been lightly raced since, he was a 2l third of 14 to No Half Measures in that same Group 1 two months ago (good to firm); each-way claims if reproducing that form but his profile indicates it's far from guaranteed. |

Won the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket (6f, good) last September and left her first two 3yo runs well behind when Listed winner at Newmarket (6f, good) a fortnight ago; needs to step up on that latest form but her juvenile exploits provide hope in that regard. |

High-class 2yo, winning four of her five starts with the pinnacle her impressive Cheveley Park success in September (6f, good); didn't stay 1m on soft ground in the 1,000 Guineas but not unreasonable to have expected better at Royal Ascot nine weeks ago; as an unpenalised Group 1 winner she has to be taken seriously but there must be reservations. |

Acts on flat tracks but he comes into his own when tackling a stiff test at 5f, as when winning this race last year, taking C&D record to 2-2, and roaring home to win a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; cheekpieces worn in October are discarded; yard in form; not to be underestimated. |

9st 6lb |
Three-time winner at Group 3 level, two of them this year, including when defying a penalty at Sandown in July (5f, good to firm); ran a stormer when fifth in the Nunthorpe four weeks ago; versatile ground-wise and he should make another bold bid. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Can look good over 5f, as when winning either side of a winter break and, more recently, when outstaying She's Quality in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; however, he's had some wobbles too and his fifth to Arizona Blaze in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time was one of them; quite capable of a good show on his best form and has been supplemented. |

Runner-up in Group 1 Middle Park (6f, good) on final 2yo start and left reappearance run behind when making all in Group 3 at Naas (6f, good) last month; carries 3lb penalty here and this brother to 5f superstar Battaash goes beyond a sprint trip for the first time, but there were some strong hints last year that he would be suited by 7f and he's firmly in calculations. |

Not quite at best in York Group 2 a fortnight ago but it was same story in that race 12 months earlier; two starts ago she was beaten just a neck by Khaadem in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and it will be no surprise to see a prominent showing in first-time cheekpieces. |
