21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Said goodbye to handicaps when winning over C&D in May 2025 and just two runs later he won the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (good to firm; handles good to soft); off the track for nearly a year after and he's been slowly working his way back to form since, looking more his old self when winning a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood latest; a likely force. |

1st 2 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Won the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last June then missed the rest of the season; mixed form this year but he showed spark when second to Night Raider at Haydock in May and today's expected frenetic gallop will be right up his street; not ruled out. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won six times on AW last year; has just one success on turf (good to firm on his debut in 2022) but he was placed on both starts here and last time's third of seven at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) was a solid effort; regularly stays away from ground worse than good so probably doesn't want any rain, which is forecast. |

3rd 1 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

He's just 1-25 on turf but was runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month and wasn't beaten far in a competitive Class 2 at favourite course Newcastle (5f, AW) last Friday; could be in the mix. |

Quirky customer with two C&D wins on his record and now 6lb lower than for last July's success; running himself into form this year but his stable look to hold stronger claims elsewhere. |

4th 6 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |

Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |

9st 12lb |
6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-16 on turf; the handicapper has been in command so far this year but he is edging down the weights and may yet come good on grass; refused to race in last season's Ayr Silver Cup. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 15 attempts; latest Thirsk fourth (6f, good to firm) as good as anything he's produced on the grass but may find at least the odd one too strong again. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |

Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

Ex-Irish 4yo who posted best effort for current stable when keeping-on second at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; safely held in first-time hood at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago but that race was quite competitive and he can pose a potent threat here if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |

Cheekpieces on for the first time when ending a long losing sequence at Ayr (6f) in July; backed it up with a good third of 11 at Hamilton (5f) a week ago; must enter calculations back up to 6f with headgear retained. |

Maintained unbeaten Ripon record (3-3; all 5f) when seeing off Rock Of England and Mark's Choice in early July; ran respectably in Class 2 at Goodwood (5f) before toiling at Pontefract; fairly treated but effectiveness over 6f is questionable. |
