28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races up with pace; fine sprinter over the years but the majority of his big wins have come at the Curragh, where he's won five Group races; well beaten over this C&D when last seen in November and, although he'd be dangerous on a going day, others seem more likely to give their running. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2023 and showed he's still capable of smart form when winning the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) three weeks ago; however, he's some way down the pecking order on this year's form and others appeal more. |

A regular visitor to these parts and has won here four times, including this race in 2021 and 2022; ran a blinder in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last month; below best in Flying Five two weeks ago; could rebound stepped back up in trip. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is a two-time Group 1 winner and has an excellent record in this race, with form figures of 1213; reappeared with head second to Ten Bob Tony in Group 3 John Of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7f, good) two months ago when carrying a 5lb penalty; no penalty today and he has leading claims. |

Won Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) last September and runner-up in Group 1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) next time; carries 5lb penalty and may improve for this reappearance outing but he's a class act who is entitled to respect; won this in 2021 and close third in 2022. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won a 6f Listed at Doncaster early last season (good to soft); ended 2025 in top form with convincing wins in Group 3 at Chantilly (very soft) and a Listed race at Doncaster (Montassib fifth); failed to uphold form with Montassib at the same venue on seasonal debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |

Won this race 12 months ago (good to soft) when others including James's Delight met trouble; ended 2025 better than ever with convincing successes in Group 3 at Chantilly (very soft) and Listed race here (heavy; Montassib and Art Power unplaced); penalised this time but should go well again. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 (9) |
28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Gained sixth win of his career in a 6f listed heat at Doncaster (gd-sft) in March; best run since a 1.75l second behind Beauvatier in a Deauville Group 3 (6f, soft); beaten just 2l when fifth in this last year; needs the forecast rain to come, can go well if it does. |

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. |
11/1 |

7th 13 (15) |
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. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
25/1 |
|
11 (9) |
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. |
50/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

Creditable fourth of 16 in this race last year but she's finished behind a few of these rivals since, including at Royal Ascot and when third to Believing at the Curragh last month; will do well to be involved. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has won and gone close in Group 3s (5f) on this track; seems to have lost some firepower this year but she wasn't far away in a 6f Listed race here in May nor was she disgraced in the Group 1 Flying Five in Ireland recently; might have a better chance than these terms suggest, at least for a place. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

On a long losing run, and now to 93 from the 107 mark she held when failing to make an impact in this event last season; in rear in the Temple Stakes won by Mgheera; down the field in the Wokingham and the Coral Golden Handicap. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

Won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) last season and returned to form when third in the Group 2 City of York (7f, good to firm) last month in a first-time visor (retained); it remains to be seen if slow ground still suits but she could be bang there if handling conditions. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Ended unbeaten 3yo season by charging clear in Group 3 over C&D last June; had niggling setbacks since and hasn't appreciated the new experience of testing ground following 15 months off (in a Group 1 last time); this surface looks sure to suit better and it's fair to keep the faith for now. |

23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a head on debut but she won her next four starts, notably a defeat of a respected rival in a Group 3 at Newcastle when last seen 455 days ago (6f, AW); her British Champions Sprint entry gives an idea of the regard she's held in but she's raced exclusively on good or quicker when on turf and she's never tackled 5f; good claims on ratings but there are risks. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
