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. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn. |

15th 7 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned on AW since December, proving consistent until coming up a tad short on finals day last time; has loads of Ascot form but three defeats in this race (finishing positions 074) suggest he can be opposed, especially now aged eight. |

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 |

6th 1 (6) |
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. |

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. |

9th 3 (1) |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Very useful 7f handicapper for Ralph Beckett; won last year's Bunbury Cup (off 2lb lower); never landed a blow at Newmarket on stable/seasonal debut but shaped as if this return to 1m is worth exploring; has the ability to play a big role. |

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. |
40/1 |

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. |
