16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
High-class handicap form at 6f to 1m on a range of surfaces and he was up against it when second to a progressive winner in this race last year; has since won two handicaps at Meydan for new yard and perhaps felt the lack of a recent run when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last month; leading player. |
7/1 |

14th 3 (10) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Campaigned at Meydan this year for new yard, winning two handicaps then not disgraced in Group 3; two attempts at this prize comprise a ready success off 4lb lower in 2024 (good to firm; recorded peak RPR) and poor effort (in cheekpieces) last year; likely player provided he's in top form. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Highly tried after his impressive win at 2024 Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) but has mainly been disappointing; second of six at Hamilton (1m) 12 days ago was clearly his best show this season but he needs to build on that today over a new trip. |

8st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 22 races to February 2024; however, he's often run well in the interim and he's been given a bit of help from the handicapper ahead of this reappearance; can be in the mix if fully tuned up. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

5yo whose 31 starts have been at 5f-7f and his losing spell goes back to February 2024; however, he's run many big races in the interim, most recently at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in August when finishing strongly for a share of third, and on that evidence this first crack at 1m is well worth a go. |

9st 10lb |
As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest. |
12/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off. |

Perhaps hasn't hit the heights his novice form threatened but he's still a smart performer and he acquitted himself with great credit in the Stewards' Cup seven weeks ago on his first crack at sprinting; travelled strongly on that occasion but just lacked a change of gear at a crucial stage and this track may prove a better fit; contender. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Looked hot property when running away with a York novice last May (1m, good to firm) and pitched into the St James's Palace Stakes on the back of it (creditable sixth); has some solid 7f handicap form this season, including a fourth at Royal Ascot (still second with 100 yards to go); suffered a blip in the Bunbury Cup last time and now drops to 6f; not the most solid of options. |

High-class handicapper at 7f/1m; winless since landing a valuable 7f handicap at Ascot in July 2024 but he is now 7lb lower and he retains plenty of ability; should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind him; bold bid expected as he attempts to win this race for a second time. |

High-class handicapper at 7f/1m; winless since landing a valuable 7f handicap at Ascot in July 2024 but he is now 6lb lower and three runs in Bahrain this winter suggested he retained a chunk of ability; back from four months off and this is perhaps not the day to catch him. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

7yo who hasn't been able to reproduce his very best form this season but he's dropped down the weights accordingly and there have been promising signs on his last few starts, finishing fifth of 17 over C&D (good to firm) in August and fourth of 14 at Ayr (1m, soft) last time; in the mix. |

Beaten on his last 15 starts going back to May 2024 and only eighth on both starts this season; however, the latest result doesn't tell the whole story as he suffered a frustrating passage in the home straight at Chester; well handicapped on last season's best and he's one to consider. |

Has gained both handicap wins at Chester, including over the bare 7f at this meeting (good) in May 2024; respectable fifth in this last year; a reappearance run over 6f at the Newmarket Craven meeting could have put him spot on for this; likely to be in the mix here again. |

Regained the winning thread in Pontefract Listed event (1m, good) on his return to British soil in July and respectable 1l fourth to Jonquil in Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (good to firm; Ice Max 2l back in fifth) 13 days ago; should go well but Ice Max met trouble in running in West Sussex so he's no good thing to confirm that superiority over Karl Burke's charge. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; not at his best in two turf starts this summer but his mark has eased 4lb as a result and his better AW record provides hope for a revival. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |

Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Recorded his sixth victory of the year with a career-best effort in 5.4f handicap at York 16 days ago; he's also a winner in the mud so must enter calculations once more. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a fine season, winning five handicaps, and he ran another sound race when fourth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago; this intermediate trip should suit and he's versatile where the going is concerned; likely to run well but might find a few better treated. |
10/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's enjoyed a fine year and although he's come unstuck on his last two starts, he did too much early at York and then raced up the middle in the Stewards' Cup; earlier Ascot win off just 2lb lower was a fine effort; first visit to Ripon but he has won on the undulations at Epsom; drawn against the rail and a big run would seem likely. |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Both AW wins came here, including over C&D in 2023, but form tailed off sharply at the end of last year, after which he had wind surgery; not much to shout about in four runs this term and he's developed a habit of starting slowly; others preferred. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Formerly quite useful but he was ending a losing run when dead-heating at Wolverhampton (9.4f; best AW form on that track) in November and he hasn't recaptured last year's best efforts in three runs this time round. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Regressed last year, mainly over shorter, and seems happier on Tapeta; well held in two runs back from wind surgery and the cheekpieces come off again as he steps back up from 7f. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
French raider with a strike-rate of 1-27; while that doesn't bode well, he finished like a train (from stall 11) to finish second in this last year (2lb higher) and he's not been beaten far in his last three races at Deauville. |

Won a big pot at Cork (7f, good) in May 2024 off 7lb lower; lightly raced since; two runs this season have come at Cork over 7f and he went close in the first one; this trip may be on the sharp side. |

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. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

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. |

Sole win in 7f maiden on AW in March 2023; seen only four times since but there was plenty of merit in his front-running ninth of 21 in the Victoria Cup over C&D in May and there's time for him to do better yet; this is still a big ask. |
