9st 10lb |
Won the Golden Mile here (good to firm) last August and third in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f, soft) in September; he's failed to shine this season but is on a handy mark if the return to Goodwood prompts a revival. |

9st 3lb |
Made a solid return to Britain when chasing home Jonquil in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May but comfortably held in the Royal Hunt Cup back here since; has yet to win above Group 3 level and it's likely that will remain the case. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up in C&D Listed contest last time, maintaining his consistency; Royal Ascot record includes a debut success in the 2022 Chesham and creditable fifth (off 7lb lower) in this race in 2024; Jack Nicholls takes off a useful 5lb; solid contender who again should give his running. |

His strike-rate is an unimpressive 3-26 but he's seldom far away and last October's excellent second in a top handicap over C&D preceded an AW Listed win; came up short at Doha and Meydan early this year but showed enough to suggest he should be on the premises. |

9st 0lb |
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. |

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. |

Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May; unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup but wasn't disgraced; successful on this card in 2023 (7f handicap) and 2025 (this race); solid claims back here. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has less hidden up his sleeve than others, being a 6yo whose record is 4-24, but he arrives having been better than ever in useful handicaps at Newbury (1m, good) this term; finished second to Linwood on reappearance and weaved his way through to beat Indalo by a neck last time. |

He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |

He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

7yo who is without a win since September 2023 and doesn't appear to be the force of old, but he returned from a break at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June and that seventh gives him something to build on; on reduced mark and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Five AW wins at 1m and 7f; modest strike-rate of 1-20 on turf but he's often run well in difficult races, including in one run here (hampered); well treated now but he hasn't looked in great form back on turf of late; most of best form on good or quicker, acts on good to soft. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

His three wins in Britain have all come over 1m at York but he is fully effective at other tracks and he wasn't beaten far in his one Sandown run back in June 2022 (1m, good to firm); rain won't bother him and he's slipped to a dangerous mark but he will need a good pace to aim at back at 7f; stable have won the last two runnings. |

Scored just once in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but on the last three occasions it was over 1m in the summer at York and in 2022 it was in this race; 14th and 13th in the last two runnings of it, with reappearance the pick of his mixed record this season, but he's much too well handicapped to be ignored. |

10yo who's the sole winner (seven times) in this, if not since autumn 2023, but last two outings at Bath have advertised the need to give him a longer run over 1m2f now; no ground or track issues, and he's among the likeliest. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since September 2023 but he is operating off a much-reduced mark now and he emerged from the pack to take a never-nearer third here eight days ago (1m2f, good); might need them to go too fast up front to win but he holds each-way claims all the same. |

All seven wins have been on good ground or softer; latest was in 2023 and although he has plenty of form (this year even) to give him a chance, having a second stab at 1m2f on latest outing didn't go well enough. |

No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
