4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races prominently (didn't when trying 1m4f last time); a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; has started 2026 in downbeat fashion but today's ground could prompt something better, as his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; below-form favourite in this race two years ago but was denied a clear run; needs to be back in peak form to have any chance. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Usually races prominently; a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; 2026 started in downbeat fashion (similar to last year) in Listed race and his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; this is also a new trip (unraced beyond an extended 1m2f) but he's bred to get it and has a chance on best form; ground the chief worry. |

8yo who has won five times on the July Course here, including two this year; 0-9 on this track but latest fifth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire was highly creditable; another who can't be discounted. |

8yo who has run well in this race previously and won two in a row on the other Newmarket course in July; however, he's finished no better than fifth across his last five outings and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

Minor honours in Group 3 and Listed race at Royal Ascot 2023 and 2024; however, he was not so hot at that meeting this year and finished last of six in 1m1f course Group 3 last time after a further four months off; plenty to prove at present. |

Minor honours in Group 3 and Listed race at Royal Ascot 2023 and 2024, both on good to firm; however, he was not so hot at that meeting this year, wearing first-time cheekpieces after a year's absence; very lightly raced for his age and he has a chance if back on song. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won the 1m1f Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September 2022 but his solitary win since was in Bahrain (1m2f) in January 2025; went close over 1m4f last August and runner-up over 11.4f at Windsor 13 days ago, but this trip (well beaten trying 1m5f once last year) is doubtful territory. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Winless since successful in Bahrain (1m2f) in January 2025, but he got back on track with fourth of seven in 1m3f handicap at Hamilton last month; this veteran is no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark. |
9/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Went close when returned to Britain at Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) last August but towards the rear on all four starts since, latest when back on good ground 13 days ago; coming down the weights but best watched at present. |

Has produced his peak RPR of 102 in both C&D attempts, including a win off 3lb higher in this race last year; Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 5lb; interesting returned to this scenario. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has shown signs of a resurgence and is back down to 0-90 company for the first time since successful at Ayr (1m) last July, but all four wins have come on soft ground so drying conditions wouldn't be ideal; stable triple-handed. |
12/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well when fifth of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his second start of the season; his four wins (one here) have come on soft going so slower ground today would aid his cause; could be a contender. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice in a row in Bahrain earlier this year and didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Windsor in June following a three-month break; could build on that latest run and continues to drop down the weights, but he's without a win since July 2023 and others are more compelling. |
40/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was almost two years ago; two placed efforts in Bahrain (1m1f/1m2f) earlier this year but he returned to Britain with a heavy defeat at Kempton in March; now drops back in grade but he's hard to predict and comes with risks attached after a break. |
16/1 |
|
11th 12 (12) |
29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when second in this race last year off 11lb higher, the last of only three ventures on AW; that has to catch the eye and he also has a chance on turf form for Charlie Johnston as recent as September; fit from placed efforts in Bahrain for new yard this year and a case can be made. |

Took form to new level when collecting good prize on AW in January, his 14th career success; below best on turf lately but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |
15/2 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

Has won on firm but best form on soft, as when winning the Lincoln (1m) in 2024; lightly raced with little return since but he was hampered on Newcastle AW last June; entitled to be rusty for new trainer on this first run since; missed a race earlier this month due to good to firm ground. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat; back over hurdles for new stable this season, with by far the best of three runs a close second at Warwick (2m, good) two starts ago; pulled up over 2m1f since and not easy to predict over this new trip. |
9/2 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist. |

Has raced exclusively on AW (mostly Polytrack) and strike-rate is 5-10; respectable fifth of 14 when 20-1 for valuable race at Newcastle on latest start but this is his first run beyond 1m, as well as first on turf, and he probably needs a career best; a bit to prove. |
