12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
An eight-time winner including two wins in Dubai during the spring over 1m and 1m1f; was then no match for Ombudsman in a Group 1 but still ran a fine race; has won when fresh in the past and is the highest-rated runner in the field so commands respect; stable took this in 2022. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Group 2 Summer Mile (good) on the round course here last term and he's bagged Listed and Group 3 races in France this season (1m, soft); went very close in Longchamp Group 2 (1m, very soft) a fortnight ago; however, his Group 1 form-figures read 4506 and others are preferred. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Made the frame in this race last year, taking Ascot record to 11322214; however, has lost that consistency by finishing only seventh in the Queen Anne and sixth in the Summer Mile in his starts here during a 2026 campaign that commenced with Doncaster win; brings a doubt over current form; cheekpieces added. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Grand campaigner but his last two efforts, including in the Queen Anne he'd won 12 months earlier, have spoiled an otherwise excellent record at Ascot which is the place he's most associated with; below best in both Goodwood attempts, latest when fifth of seven in this race last year; opposed. |
66/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has an excellent record over the straight 1m here, including a Queen Anne win at the 2025 Royal meeting; below par in the latest edition of that race but a Doncaster Listed win and Sha Tin Group 1 third in the spring suggest he's still just about as good as ever. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular. |
7/1 |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Goes well fresh and should cope if it gets tactical given all three of his C&D wins were achieved in single-figure fields; pushing two years since he last got his head in front but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when fifth over track and trip last time; of significant interest. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 4-13 on AW and 3-4 at Kempton; below par returned to this sphere ten weeks ago and losing run is mounting up but a revival would put him in the picture; 1lb below last winning mark. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a long losing run at Sandown (1m2f) in August but came in a well-held tenth of 14 in 1m4f handicap at Epsom 19 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
8/1 |

10th 5 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended a three-year drought when winning a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) this month; Listed winner (1m2f, soft) here earlier in his career and ran well over C&D last month; one to consider. |
