26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
He hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he is a tough and reliable performer who was as good as ever with his excellent second of eight in a Group 2 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago; sets the standard and looks the one to beat. |

2nd 3 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
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. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Announced himself when winning Group 2 here (1m, soft) in September 2024 but 0-8 since and he's become a little tricky to place; had wind surgery in December, which might help, but he's at the bottom of the list on RPRs. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 2 winner (1m, soft) last autumn; has failed to repeat that form but none of his 2025 races (80-1 in the Champion Stakes 11 days ago) were on softer than good, so he could be of renewed interest. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) last Saturday under Seamus Cronin, capitalising on some leniency from the handicapper; nudged back up only 2lb; has possibilities if on another going day. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Returns to the scene of his biggest performance but that 100-1 success in last year's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over C&D (good) still seems something of a fluke, having been seemingly helped by the draw; has failed to back up the form in races won by Opera Ballo and Notable Speech this season, beaten about 7l both times; dubious claims. |
40/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't have the ideal set-up at Sandown (behind Zeus Olympios) on reappearance but still needs to prove the form of his 100-1 success in last year's Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II (1m, good) at Ascot, where he was possibly helped by the draw, can be backed up; may be flattered by his mark. |
33/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who finished third in this race last year; returns to Sandown but may be flattered by his new rating, having been perhaps helped by the draw when registering a 100-1 success in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (good) on last appearance; needs to prove he can back up that form. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
9yo who hasn't been at his very best this year and can be slowly away; however, this five-time Group 3 winner has still shown considerable spark in 2024, including here last time, and he may well be in the mix. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Well-bred 3yo who built upon previous promise when easily winning Newbury novice (1m, good to firm) in June on her fourth run; soft ground may not have suited in Sandown Listed race subsequently (has shown promise on good to soft) but others have more substance to their form; something to find. |

5th 2 (7) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Form figures of 5321 reflect her progress; made all for 8l success in Newbury novice event (1m, good to firm) most recently, recording a useful figure and looking a Listed/Group filly in the making; respected. |

13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

5-6 for her only 2yo run; that didn't go well but she gave it a good shot from the front back here (1m, good to soft) on reappearance and improved markedly again when close second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) one month later; the clear form pick. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time Listed winner who made Group 3 breakthrough at Saint-Cloud (1m, very soft) last October; ran well when 2l fourth in Group 2 Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good) four weeks ago; third in this last year and a penalty shouldn't prevent her being competitive again. |

4th 9 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Admirable mare who is 12-21 on turf including wins at Group 3/Listed level; has winning form over C&D, but will need to improve plenty on her reappearance effort at Saint-Cloud in March if she is to play a part here. |
