6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time Listed winner who made Group 3 breakthrough at Saint-Cloud (1m, very soft) last October; ran well when 2l fourth in Group 2 Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good) four weeks ago; third in this last year and a penalty shouldn't prevent her being competitive again. |

9st 0lb |
Admirable mare who is 12-21 on turf including wins at Group 3/Listed level; has winning form over C&D, but will need to improve plenty on her reappearance effort at Saint-Cloud in March if she is to play a part here. |

13th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
He's not the force of old (third in the French Derby in 2021) but, having dropped down the weights, he went close at Haydock (1m, heavy) a fortnight ago; testing ground may suit best but that's not guaranteed; a contender if backing up that latest performance. |

30th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Very smart as 3yo (third in French Derby); some initial promise for this yard but his recent efforts have been less encouraging, finishing sixth of eight over 1m2f at Newbury (heavy) last weekend. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

A fair 1m1f winner in 2025 but arrives out of sorts, beating one in 1m handicap at Pontefract eight days ago; others are preferred. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

A dual winner (around 1m) in 2025 but he's yet to fire this season, only ninth of 11 in 1m Redcar handicap four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

27th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Done most winning round easy, turning courses, so has that in his favour; isn't as consistent now, which is no surprise given his age, but retains most of his ability and is fine on Tapeta; the harder they go the better for him. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (9) |
30th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Veteran now but he ran really well in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) and the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) in the spring and took advantage of a slight drop in grade at Chester (7.5f) last time, underlining how well he goes on soft ground; has an excellent course record and should remain very competitive after a 5lb rise. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins from ten starts over C&D include a success in April off 3lb lower; didn't look in a great mood at Ascot last time but he still ran well to finish fairly close fourth; not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in April and he went close on Polytrack and turf in his next two starts; didn't really fire at Newmarket (1m, good) last time but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to settle and proved disappointing last time when bidding for AW hat-trick; effective in this sphere and may rebound, especially if the ground is optimal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Back to something approaching his best this summer, winning handicaps at Newcastle (1m) and here (7f) on his last two starts; well drawn to attack but a 5lb penalty could scupper his hat-trick bid. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Added to his five turf wins when making all to beat 13 rivals at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; 5lb higher from wide draw here but he still looks on a workable mark and is lightly raced on AW; respected back in trip. |

11st 1lb |
Rediscovered some form when a front-running third at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) before never dangerous on AW earlier this month; has since changed hands and left Billy Aprahamian; acts on soft but not proven over this far. |

3-13 at Chester (the wins over 7.6f) but the last time he scored anywhere was in May 2023; has his lowest mark since 2020 and a shout on plenty of 2024 form, but seasonal debut may not be his best moment. |

Five-time winner who is on a good mark and he ran well in this last season; lots to like about his return at Nottingham (1m) when perhaps unfortunate not to have troubled the winner; major player. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and has run well in defeat on his four starts since, on the latest finishing fourth of 31 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, soft); one of two solid contenders for the yard. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
He's run well on both visits to Goodwood, latest a close third in 1m2f Listed race here (good) in May after an absence, and the late headway he made when eighth in the Listed Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) suggests this step up in trip could be a good move; each-way chance. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in this race (good to firm); showed enough to think he retains all his ability when third in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good) on reappearance 25 days ago; could reach the frame in this again. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unlucky second at Glorious Goodwood in 2024 when bidding for a notable 1m2f handicap double; best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in Listed grade at Royal Ascot; should be thereabouts, provided he's in top form after ten-month layoff. |
