21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile 5yo whose latest win was a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last November (2m5f, soft); hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year (2m-2m4f) although not beaten far in the Shergar Cup last time; not sure drop in trip will suit. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Useful 1m4f performer and pretty good on his day over hurdles; however, hasn't found his best form this season at 2m/2m4f and has yet to convince as a stayer in this discipline; tried a visor last time at Royal Ascot and cheekpieces return. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1m4f winner from the front off this mark at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f) in November; has a bit to prove over 2m on Flat, including having been always behind on both starts this year; now tries a visor (often wears cheekpieces) and maybe there will be a change of tactics. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Comfortably won 8.5f handicap at Epsom (good; unraced on firmer) in April; good second over 1m2f at Goodwood (heavy; made most) ten days later and back at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby Day; raced freely in mid-division for the latter race, so he should be able to find extra if settling better but having such a low draw again may not help. |

2nd 8 (1) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Comfortable winner of 8.5f handicap at Epsom (good) in April and good second of six at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy; made most) ten days later; another 3lb higher today but has strong claims, for trainer who won this race in 2017, 2019 and 2022. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Has won only once in 12 starts but is mostly consistent and was second in a Class 4 at Goodwood (1m6f) before a lesser effort at the same level at Sandown; his win was over a similar trip to this and he should be on the scene. |

Only 1-11 but consistent and was just ahead of Percy Shelley when runner-up at Goodwood last time (1m6f, good); a player. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Made most for Listed win at Saint-Cloud last October and reappeared this May with a respectable Listed second in France, both 1m2f on soft; won over 1m3f in 2024 and she now looks worth a crack at 1m4f; first, though, she needs to bounce back after tailing off in an AW Group 3 (20-1) eight weeks ago. |
28/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, soft) last October and reappeared with respectable Listed second in France (1m2f, soft) last month; has run well here in the past, but this 5yo's form needs to go to a new level today if she's to come out on top. |
14/1 |

3 (14) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Can make the running; four handicap wins last year and she looked back to her best when a close fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; favourite) on latest outing, possibly playing her cards too soon; all turf starts have been on softer than good; may well be set for another bold show. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Easy win at Bath (1m2f, firm) when dropped into a Class 6 in May; not so good since but edging back down the weights and he holds each-way claims in this field. |
11/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not far off career-best form when coming from the rear for clearcut success at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May but not seen to same effect on either subsequent outing; chance may depend upon others setting a strong pace. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; ran creditably sole start here (2024); latest of his two wins came when dropped into Class 6 at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May, before a Class 4 at Yarmouth saw a lesser effort; should be competitive in this race. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; completed hat-trick in 1m handicaps in the summer, and ran creditably again when fourth of eight over 1m2f at Sandown last month; just as effective on AW; should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer, the last leg at this track; disappointing at Haydock next time but better than ever when beaten a head at Southwell (1m, AW) 16 days later; all his improvement has been at 1m, having tried 1m2f twice in the spring before he was tongue tied, so this step back up in trip asks the key question. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer but he came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Haydock 16 days ago; promise in one C&D run in March; another career best required to win. |
