29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Has lots of form in major handicaps, including a good effort over C&D last year; consistent in the main but faces a stiffer assignment upped to Group level for the first time. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Defied a 5lb lower mark in the corresponding race 12 months ago; many good runs in defeat since then, including his fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup, and he is unlikely to be too far away. |

Currently in a consistent vein of form that ties him in with some of today's opponents; creditable third to Indalo at Sandown most recently; Goodwood record comprises a couple of second-place finishes at this meeting, including in this race last year; solid claims. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Useful on the Flat in Britain, rated 89; made a winning start for this yard over hurdles at Killarney in May (2m1f, gd-yld); heavy defeat in a Punchestown novice too bad to be true; returned with a small graze on right-fore cannon bone, possibly picked up when blundering five out. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner in Britain (1m-1m3f); made promising start to hurdling career on stable debut after 11 months off when landing 2m1f maiden at Killarney 27 days ago, beating Tyson Fury by 4l; jumping was very novicey and needs to improve; form of that race has a solid look to it and he's a leading contender; wouldn't want much rain based on Flat form. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Uncharacteristically below par at Ascot recently but was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup; he's run really well in defeat under Danny Tudhope in some hot handicaps this year and was second in this last season (good to firm); versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with a big performance. |
16/1 |

9th 1 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Finished second behind Ebt's Guard in this race 12 months ago when rated 14lb lower; he has earned his lofty rating since then, winning twice at Goodwood last autumn and recording a career-best RPR when second of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood eight days ago; another big run anticipated. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Blew his chance at the start in most recent handicap attempt but generally consistent otherwise in the last year and ties in with several of today's rivals on Royal Hunt Cup form; 2-2 at Goodwood and looks interesting back here despite remaining on a career-high mark. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
7f specialist, not beaten far in Ascot's Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm) in first half of this year; never able to challenge over same C&D last time; this is less competitive and he should be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

9th 3 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Merely mid-division behind Aalto in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago but this C&D brings out the best in him, as evidenced by this season's close-up finishes in the Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm); could be bang there now back at Ascot. |
16/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Ran well, only a neck behind Elarak, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot to maintain his solid record in headgear; good second in the Victoria Cup the time before; threatening to win a big prize; shortlisted. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Serial hard puller who again over-raced back at 7f in a second-time hood latest; that was a decent effort all told, considering he hit traffic at a key stage, and he's well up to winning this if he's more amenable; therein lies the gamble. |
5/1 |

5th 4 (10) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win in five starts came in a 7.5f maiden at Beverley last August; keen-going tendencies have been evident from the start and they're not going away judged on his run in Haydock's competitive Silver Bowl; could yet turn a corner but reservations for now. |
8/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
25th May 2024 Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to form) last August on third start and runner-up in Carlisle novice (1m, good to firm) the following month; the hood (worn last time) is left off today and he can race freely, while he's untested on slow turf, but he's in good hands to progress and is not ruled out. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f). |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Said to have run flat last time; tended to respond well to switches/removal of headgear in the past (back to cheekpieces from blinkers tonight) and won't mind coming back up from sprint trips, but Pontefract will need forgiving. |

Very in and out across his eight starts last year but won three times, including here (1m1f, good) in October; he could be involved if fully tuned up on this first outing since December. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Won this January and April, latterly at Pontefract (1m, good); well beaten last two outings but absent four months in between and has bounced back before. |
