Only fifth when 10-11 favourite on this month's reappearance in Listed race at Newmarket; however, she may have needed the run and has stand-out form claims judged on last year's best efforts, namely her Wokingham win (6f, good to firm) and a fine third in the Group 1 Sprint Cup over C&D (good). |

Won this race first time out in 2024, landed the prestigious Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot in June and ran a cracker when third to stablemate Montassib in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock in the autumn; has a fine record on a sound surface and looks the one to beat. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for Ed Walker, reeling off a four-timer before running well in an Ascot Group 3 last October; didn't fire in Qatar earlier this year but he won well at Saint-Cloud in May (6f, soft) and turned in another fine handicap effort when second of 25 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm), making his challenge on the opposite side of the track to the winner; 3lb higher and this sharper track is not sure to play to his strengths. |

Found his trip when back at 6f in the second half of 2023, indifferent to the state of the ground when winning all four handicaps, including over C&D on good to firm; has left Ed Walker since but was at least as good as ever when winning a 6f conditions race at Saint-Cloud (soft) in May; has cards to play back here. |

Acts on any ground; progressive 3yo who has completed a handicap four-timer since being dropped back to 6f and gained the last two wins at this venue; overall record is now 6-13; brings a very attractive profile to this first Group attempt and being 2-2 at Ascot is a bonus. |

9st 11lb |
Looked the proverbial Group horse in a handicap when sauntering to success over C&D in May 2023 on soft ground; more bad days than good since then but flashes last season that he was still a top-notch sprinter on his day, as when third in the Wokingham off a 6lb higher mark than today's; no better than midfield in two feature handicaps this summer but he didn't run too badly at Goodwood and he has too much ability to discount under these conditions. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has let his supporters down in a host of top handicaps since looking to have the sprinting scene at his mercy in early 2023; has run to form only sporadically in the last two years but his good days are still very good, as when third in last season's Wokingham off a 3lb higher mark; never threatened in this year's Wokingham but it was after an absence and better can be expected this afternoon; stable won this in 2015 and 2019. |

Made a very bright start to his handicap career when winning twice in the spring of 2023 before a never-nearer sixth of 27 in this race; maddeningly in and out since but he was nevertheless an excellent close third in this (good to firm) under Saffie Osborne 12 months ago and the lack of a recent run isn't necessarily a drawback; no surprise to see his grey head loom up late. |

Went very close in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May and comfortably made all in Listed race at Newmarket last month (6f, good to firm; Elmonjed second); carries a 3lb penalty today but has leading claims nevertheless at a track where he has plenty of strong form. |

Had a fine 2024 campaign once blinkers were added, winning two Newbury handicaps then blitzing his rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup; 0-4 this year but he has been running with great credit in good company; drops into Listed company and his record of 211 over C&D features a notable 3yo handicap win; looks sure to go well. |

Won his 2yo maiden over C&D when based in Ireland; last win was a Meydan Listed race in 2023, but he's kept good company during his losing stretch; remains capable of smart form and might have gone close in a valuable 7f handicap at Galway had he not been caught in a pocket; considered. |

Close second in Listed Windsor Castle here as 2yo but well held in the big 5f handicap here last June and his 6f Bahrain win at Christmas didn't go far enough to convince that he's right for this race; others in better form, too, with first-time cheekpieces (retained) no help last time. |

Took advantage of a more favourable mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in June, a first win in Britain for over two years; perhaps downhill tracks weren't so helpful in two runs since, at 6f and 5f, but he still has something to find in this company. |

Eight-time winner and also first past the post in this race in 2022 (demoted to second after causing interference); well treated if retaining all his ability but he was tailed off in the Shergar Cup on his reappearance after a long absence, having hit his head on the stalls; risky. |

Eight-time winner, not seen since finishing tenth in the Wokingham here in June 2024 (subsequently gelded); has run some good races at Ascot, including when fourth in this event two years ago, and he's well treated if retaining all his ability, but looks a risky proposition after such a long absence. |

He enjoyed his finest hour over this C&D when winning the 2023 Wokingham off a 20lb higher mark; he hasn't won since and his second over C&D in May on his seasonal/stable debut hasn't been a springboard to better things; others look safer. |

9st 3lb |
Having dropped down the weights he was a good second on his seasonal and stable debut at Ascot (6f, good) in May; however, two lesser runs have followed and this 8yo remains without a win since June 2023. |

9st 2lb |
Having dropped down the weights he was a close second at Ascot (6f, good) in May on his stable/seasonal debut, and perhaps the soft ground didn't suit at Epsom last time; not written off but this 8yo has been regressive and remains without a win since June 2023. |

Just a Cork maiden win last year to his tally, but has performed with credit this season; excellent second in the 25-runner Bold Lad last month (splitting My Mate Alfie and Tango Flare); improved again when third behind My Mate Alfie and Big Gossey last time; has a 7lb turnaround with the year-younger winner. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Smart operator on AW and although his turf form lags slightly behind, his second at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in July was a cracking effort; ran poorly in the Stewards' Cup five weeks ago and he's 2lb higher today; unwise to rule him out at a track he has run well at in the past. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Best known for his AW exploits but he is fine on turf and has a lower mark in this sphere; went desperately close at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, a race in which the first two pulled clear in the closing stages from a subsequent winner; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he was successful on his only visit to Goodwood; interesting. |

8st 12lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 1-29 on turf, but he's on a much lower mark in this sphere and didn't get the breaks when a close fifth at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; has claims if he can back that up and this return to 6f is a positive. |

He is a better horse on AW than turf; a much lower mark in this sphere reflects that but his 1-28 record on the grass doesn't mark him down as the likely winner of this. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive as a 3yo, winning two competitive handicaps (including C&D) before completing his hat-trick in a Listed race in France; had a lengthy absence before creditable fourth in a Salisbury Listed race in May; down the field twice since, though, and while the return of the hood can help, he's risky, especially if the ground is firmer than good (reportedly unsuited by the quick conditions when unplaced in the Wokingham). |

4th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Developed into very useful 6f performer in 2022, with the latest of three wins gained in a French Listed race; missed last season, though, and failed to build upon satisfactory reappearance run when in rear throughout in Wokingham at Royal Ascot; has the inside draw here but current ability is tricky to gauge. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

His star rose fast in 2022, outgrowing handicaps with a wide-margin win at York (6f, good; has won on good to firm) before equally convincing in a French Listed race (good to soft) when making it 2-2 for Ryan Moore; chip removed from knee and missed 2023; gelded since; satisfactory return at Salisbury in May (without regular hood, as today) and as he's only 7lb above the York win he'd have plenty going for him if still the same horse. |

Has four Group 3 wins (on good and good to firm) under his belt; recent runs make him a serious Group 1 contender, split American Affair and Time For Sandal at Goodwood; a fine third behind the brilliant Bacio and Starlust in the Nunthorpe; not certain to uphold York form with Time For Sandals who was unlucky. |

0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |

Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

Prolific winner, mainly over 6f, the latest when 2lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) in April; went close when on this mark in successive starts last month, before a below-par effort in a big-field York sprint latest; player if he can bounce back. |
