9st 8lb |
Came from rear to win at Goodwood (5f, good; cheekpieces removed) in May and is now 1lb lower but has barely beaten a rival in three runs since; the cheekpieces are now back on; leap of faith required to support him. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has won and gone close in Group 3s (5f) on this track; seems to have lost some firepower this year but she wasn't far away in a 6f Listed race here in May nor was she disgraced in the Group 1 Flying Five in Ireland recently; might have a better chance than these terms suggest, at least for a place. |

9st 3lb |
On a long losing run, and now to 93 from the 107 mark she held when failing to make an impact in this event last season; in rear in the Temple Stakes won by Mgheera; down the field in the Wokingham and the Coral Golden Handicap. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run stretches back over two years; happiest on slow ground; tailed off in the Wokingham six weeks ago and returning cheekpieces aren't enough to make her of interest. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Not at her very best when third at 11-8 here (5f, soft) in June last time but it certainly wasn't a bad run and prior to that she was a good third in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good to soft); won this last year (soft) following a break, making it 3-3 here; holds leading claims. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
3-3 at Ayr, all in Listed races including a dead-heat in this race in 2024; ran another fine race when third to classy stablemate Night Raider in the Group 2 Temple Stakes four weeks ago; obvious chance back down in grade and rain won't bother her. |

Three Listed wins, latest at Ayr (5.5f, soft) last September; returned with Listed third at Bath (5f, good) but well beaten in Longchamp Group 3 (5f, soft) since; fifth in this race in 2024; may again be vulnerable. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reinvigorated by a visor this summer, winning three times (5f) and only narrowly denied in the Portland at Doncaster last week; his form claims are there for all to see but whether a stiff 6f on slow ground is really what he needs is a moot point. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The addition of a visor has had a galvanising effect this summer and he has won three of his last four starts, the latest a cheeky win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good); this intermediate trip shouldn't pose any problems and going back up 4lb is manageable; tops the list. |
13/2 |

1st 12 (19) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Classy sprinter back in the day and the new visor has been floating his boat with recent form figures of 121 in 5f handicaps, latterly getting up in the nick of time at Newmarket; only 3lb higher and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit; finished fifth in last year's Stewards' Cup, faring best in his group; firmly in calculations. |

Won four times for Clive Cox, including Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2024; first win since came in C&D handicap in July, coming off a strong pace; always toward the rear in 6f handicap here latest; good claimer on. |

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2024; first win since came here last month in 5f handicap (first-time blinkers) coming off strong pace to reel in long-time leader late on (Collective Power, Fox In Flight and Valiant Force behind); 5lb higher now but still on an okay mark. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024, his last victory; yet to hit those heights for this yard and has been soundly beaten on his last three starts; 0-2 on the AW but did run well here behind Valiant Force in February; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time. |

Had a fine year in 2023, his first with this stable, when an Ayr Gold Cup win was the highlight; has only run well in one of his four starts this year and hopes rest on a wind operation having a positive effect; second and first in two runs at Newcastle. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Reaching the veteran stage of his career but still capable of smart form; however, it's a long time since he contested a Group 1 and he was beaten by Kind Of Blue in an AW conditions race last time. |
25/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
The most recent of his six wins came in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May 2024; his first three runs this summer were good, including when a neck third of 27 in the Stewards' Cup (6f, good to firm), but he beat only one home in a heavy-ground Group 3 in France last month; runner-up on his only race on the AW and he could bounce back, albeit with this race not guaranteed to be run to suit. |
15/2 |

3rd 4 (25) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He hasn't had a great deal of racing since July 2024 but, two wind surgeries and a gelding operation later, he has shown he retains a good chunk of his former ability (Group 2 winner at best) this year, in a tongue-tie on last two starts; finished just behind Soldier's Tree when fifth in the Wokingham (6f, good to firm) but was in front of that rival in a Group 3 at Newbury two weeks ago; 3lb well in and has the ability to feature but his tendency to forfeit ground at the start isn't ideal in a race of this depth. |

Useful in his prime (won the Dash and an Irish Listed race in 2022), but far more miss than hit in recent times and soundly beaten on belated reappearance last week; best watched. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A winner first time out three times in previous seasons but he's getting on now and has been absent for a year; has a bit to overcome then, especially as he looked on the downgrade last season and has only run twice on the AW. |
25/1 |
|

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |
