5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't been at his best since a Listed win at York last May but he's on a reduced mark and showed some spark when third at Goodwood in May; he's had wind surgery since a midfield finish at York later in May and it will be no surprise if he runs well on AW debut. |
8/1 |

12th 11 (8) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His best form is at 5f and he hasn't been at the top of his game since a Listed win at this meeting last May; however, he kept on well for third at Goodwood (5f, good) recently, suggesting the return to 6f is worth exploring, and his two career wins have both come here; a visor goes on. |

Bagged 5f York listed event last May; off seven months/gelded before posting an encouraging eighth of 14 in 5f Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago, nearest finish having lost ground when hampered soon after start; not without interest off a reduced mark. |

C&D maiden winner on good-to-firm last August; runner-up in a 5f Listed race at York and third in the Flying Childer; surpassed European form when beat fellow Irish raider Arizona Blaze in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar (5f, firm); reported to have a mouth injury after a dismal Naas run on seasonal debut; good chance to get season back on track. |

112 rated 3yo Mehmas colt progressed well as a 2yo, culminating with a win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (5f, firm); well-treated by the race conditions on his return, fast ground is ideal and while this is likely a stepping stone towards bigger targets later in the season, he is the one they have to beat. |

Ex-Irish (one win); has started to threaten for this yard and he wasn't beaten far when fourth of 11 at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) last Friday; dropped a further 2lb and he won't mind what the weather does; considered. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now. |
10/1 |

11th 5 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to win but his close second in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, heavy) is arguably the best piece of form on offer here; not at that level when fourth in the Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) 15 days ago but it was another useful performance; blinkered first time. |

Never gave her running in the Queen Mary and then finished second in a Naas Listed race (5f, yielding); behind three of these when only sixth at York (5f Listed) but was soon on the back foot after starting slowly and ran well all things considered; worn this headgear combination the last twice; no forlorn hope at lengthy odds. |

9st 5lb |
Won well at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and some stiff tasks since; still looked in form when sixth at Windsor 12 days ago but this is a tougher race and he looks vulnerable once again, even with Ryan Moore booked. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has raced mostly at around 5f but there was no doubting that this C&D suited him well when he won by a wide margin (good to firm) in June; ran with great credit when eighth of 27 in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood recently, after having to be switched, and looks a likely contender back here. |

8th 24 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Impressed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; had an excuse at Ascot next time and spent the first half of the race in the unfavoured stands' side group when down the field there last week; this looks too demanding all the same. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 5f handicap at last season's Dante meeting here and confirmed the track suited him well when collared late by Trefor in this race 12 months ago; 3lb lower this time around and he has done enough in 2026 to think he retains all his ability; trainer is making a name for himself in the big sprint handicaps and it's likely this has been the main aim all summer; big chance if getting it right at the start. |
5/1 |
|
13th 11 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Back from a break and wind surgery when impressive in a big field at York in May 2024 (5f, good to firm; 7lb lower); however, failed to fire at Meydan this year and was again down the field at Newcastle a month ago; cheekpieces replace a hood. |
14/1 |

11th 7 (13) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Looked a smart prospect last season, beating his 21 rivals at York's Dante meeting and second of 20 at the Ebor meeting; not at his best in three runs in Dubai but this mark should be in range and he has won on Tapeta and after a break; goes without accessories (usually hooded) today; interesting for a yard in form. |
