11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't give his running in bid for back-to-back victories in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (last of 26) last month, but he'd previously shaped well when second in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock; this C&D winner (good to firm) takes a drop in grade and will be a danger to all if on a going day. |
11/2 |
|
26th 2 (18) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
A massive improver in 2025 as he was still cleaning up in handicaps in the spring before nipping home to win this race (good to firm) from Frost At Dawn; down the field on first run since, at York in May, but he came on a ton to chase home Night Raider at Haydock (5f, good to soft) latest; likely to pull out the stops for another excellent effort. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive in 2025, winning the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); also won on good to soft last year; it was his first run since when down the field at York recently and he may have needed it, but a dramatic transformation is required just ten days on. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
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. |
7/2 |

7th 14 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Won this race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark and recorded his seventh C&D win when scoring in December; solid second on turf three weeks ago; should run his race. |

2nd 4 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Won six 5f handicaps on AW at Newcastle in 2025; now back on last winning mark but he's 1-24 on turf and that success was in a novice over four years ago; looks opposable back in this sphere after a short break. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |

10st 2lb |
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. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |

10yo who is winless since August 2024 and needs to improve upon his last few performances; however, he's a nine-time course winner, including this race in 2024, and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as this May; not discounted. |
