27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Short-headed in a Group 2 at Meydan (7f, good) in January but he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since, most recently at the Curragh. |

All three wins have come at 1m; back after a spell in the Emirates; not far off best when touched off by Elnajmm in the 7f Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort in January; beaten 3l in fourth behind the same horse in a Group 3 last time; blinkered first time now; not appealing at this trip. |

took keen hold, led, raced in second after 1f, lost second but prominent from 6f out, bit short of room going okay on inner over 2f out, went second when in the clear and switched left over 1f out, soon ridden, led and ran on inside final furlong |

Beat dual subsequent winner Apricot Ice in a Dundalk maiden in April; ran no race at Ascot but his previous two runs suggest that he might need to be dropped in the handicap a little; visor retained. |

Aidan O'Brien's previous Britannia winner had been running in Group races whereas this colt has won only an AW maiden and been beaten in two handicaps (1m on yielding and good); this looks no masterplan and he needs help from the new headgear. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Beat Donna Nook over C&D in May when rated 1lb higher; put a couple of lesser efforts behind him when chasing home Runninsonofagun here last week; 7lb better off for 2l defeat so has a handicapping chance; new visor replaces cheekpieces; others still more appealing. |

2nd 3 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in May (good to firm) and decent third at Hamilton later in the month (8.5f, good to firm); disappointing in two runs since, first-time cheekpieces latest (retained); could go well back on good to firm ground. |
13/2 |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Just held on to score over C&D (good to firm) in May and looked unlucky at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) two starts ago (persistently denied clear run) but has become rather inconsistent and it's hard to predict whether the first-time cheekpieces will get the best out out him. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Won in Bahrain (1m2f, good to firm) in March; returned from break with mid-division finish in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) and he was always in rear at York (1m2f) last month; dropped 3lb and this return to Polytrack is no problem but others are more compelling. |

Gained her second AW win off 72 in February, but just 1-28 on turf; good fourth of 20 over 1m at the Curragh last time; best form over 7f/1m, and just one inconclusive run over this trip here last year; yet to finish in the first three in five visits to this venue. |

Flopped at Chepstow 15 days ago but he had been in good form beforehand, including a near-miss over C&D (the winner has scored again since); looks the type to bounce back quickly. |

Ex-Irish filly who made a winning stable debut at Wetherby in April (7f, good to firm); added another front-running success at Chester in June (7f, good) and her latest second at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) represented further improvement; no obvious reason why she wouldn't be in the thick of it again. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Markedly progressive overall when trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off with an always-prominent fourth of 16 at Royal Ascot 2025 (1m6f, good to firm; 2lb lower today); respectable show at Goodwood last summer, ten weeks before running poorly in the Cesarewitch when going beyond 1m6f for first time was not to blame; bit to prove on first run since. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Markedly progressive overall when trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off with an always-prominent fourth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); changed hands before a respectable show at Goodwood ten weeks ago; while going beyond 1m6f for the first time looks worth a go, it's hard to know whether it will help sufficiently to win this top handicap. |

Markedly progressive overall trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off on last two outings with fourth of six in slowly run Listed race at Navan (1m6f, soft) in April and always-prominent fourth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); changed hands since; respected. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Tailed off on soft (sole run in blinkers); off the mark in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal (1m5f handicap, good) in June and added a Shergar Cup race in a good scrap at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; Champagne Prince closing fast in second) two weeks ago; 5lb higher than last time but shapes as if he will stay 1m6f and enters calculations. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal (1m5f handicap, good) in June; there's some concern about today's mark, though, as his apparent best form came when playing a minor role in a non-handicap (penultimate start); soft ground and blinkers (usual cheekpieces return today) may help to excuse his Galway run eight days ago but others are preferred. |

Won a rated race over 5f on heavy ground at the Curragh in April but has been well beaten since; best run in a while at Down Royal latest; handicapper relenting and was second over C&D from 6lb higher early in the year so don't completely rule out; rain would be welcome. |
