8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Listed winner (7f, soft) on sole outing last year and Group 2 runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to soft) in July on second start back from an absence; respectable fourth of five in Group 1 Sussex Stakes (1m, soft) at Glorious Goodwood and holds leading claims now back down in grade. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well treated on his Listed win at Sandown in July 2024 but he drew a blank during his 2025 Australian campaign and has been well held in both runs (1m, good to firm/good) for new yard this season; still unexposed on AW but he needs to raise his game back in this sphere. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Listed win at Sandown in July 2024 and well treated on that form; however, he drew a blank during his 2025 Australian campaign and was soundly beaten on last month's stable debut in the Thirsk Hunt Cup; something to prove. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Smart at his best for William Haggas, winning a Listed race at Sandown (1m2f, good) in July 2024; campaigned solely in Australia in 2025 and well beaten on his last two starts; potentially well handicapped back in Britain for a new yard after wind surgery, but he carries obvious risks. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Spanish-trained 6yo whose career highlight came when winning Group 2 at Baden-Baden in 2021; however, his form at Meydan earlier this year, and in two British starts in the summer, suggests he may be a shade vulnerable. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Spanish-trained 6yo whose career highlight came when winning Group 2 at Baden-Baden in 2021; however, his form at Meydan earlier this year, and in a handicap at Ascot three weeks ago, suggests he's vulnerable here. |
33/1 |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Spanish-trained contender; enjoyed his finest hour when winning German Group 2 (1m, good to soft) in September 2021 and performed respectably in three runs in Dubai early this year; bit to prove on British/handicap debut but Jamie Spencer is a good booking over the straight mile here. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Very useful on the Flat in his prime and returned from long absence with two encouraging hurdle runs for new stable this season, latterly when close fifth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) three weeks ago; that form already gives him good claims and he could quite plausibly have a bigger run in him. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won the Bunbury Cup in 2023; unraced beyond 1m on the Flat but seemed to stay the trip okay on jumps debut here following a long absence; however, what he achieved behind an easy winner in that small field is questionable. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very useful on the Flat in his prime, with career highlight his 2023 Bunbury Cup success (7f; unraced beyond about 1m); absent since two below-par runs in spring 2024, though, and tricky to weigh up on stable/hurdle debut. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won her maiden here in 2021 and showed improved form when fourth of six in French Group 3 (6f, soft) last month on second start since rejoining this yard; however, she needs to take another step forward to win this. |
20/1 |

12th 1 (5) |
2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Winner on heavy as 2yo for Richard Hannon; two runs in Listed races in France last autumn when trained by David Menuisier, on first occasion beaten a nose over this trip on very soft ground; not discredited when hooded at 33-1 this May on sole run for Joseph O'Brien (she's rejoined Menuisier since) but none of her form matches up to this task. |

Winner at two for Richard Hannon; two runs in Listed races in France when trained by David Menuisier last season; went close in the first of them, over this trip on very soft ground at Saint-Cloud; hooded for Irish debut. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
An ideal type for this race having won the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2024 and 2026, both times off 5lb lower on good ground (lightly raced in between and latest occasion was only his third run for new yard); still favourably treated on historical data; good credentials. |
12/1 |

1st 6 (26) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen only twice, both times on AW, last term for new yard; made a winning reappearance off current mark in this contest (on good ground) two years ago on first start during a brief spell with Charlie Fellowes; fighting chance in repeat bid, assuming he's in top form. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his Victoria Cup win last term (first run for Charlie Fellowes); midfield at Royal Ascot (Group 1) one month later; absent since a disappointing run on soft ground last September; cheekpieces worn on his last 11 starts are left off on today's stable debut (same owners); interesting, especially if backed. |
