17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Smart sprinting 2yo whose four 5f wins included a Group 3 at Longchamp (good to soft) and Group 2 at Doncaster (good), both from the front; has to put a disappointing reappearance at York (favourite) behind him in this much better race. |

Reappears carrying a 5lb penalty but he was a Listed, Group 3 and Group 2 winner last season, and his defeat of Big Mojo and Magnum Force in the Flying Childers reads extremely well; strong claims. |

9st 5lb |
Won this last year (good); in and out since but he returned to form with a win in the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; showed promise on sole encounter with good to soft ground (unraced on softer); entitled to respect. |

Won the Sprint Cup at Haydock last season when his form also featured a fine second in the July Cup; towards the rear in this year's edition of the Newmarket showpiece last month; previously found 5f a bit sharp in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot; best treated at the weights but questions to answer. |

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. |

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. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made the frame in valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June and Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in July, but then ran poorly at the Shergar Cup two weeks ago; his record now reads just one win from ten attempts and he has something to prove in a race as competitive as this one. |
28/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
In the frame in notable handicaps at the Royal meeting (5f, good to firm) and Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on his last two starts; 11lb better off with Prince Of India for just over 4l on the latter occasion; no obvious reason why he wouldn't give his running again. |
9/1 |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ran his best race when keeping on for fourth of 24 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); looked ready for the return to 6f on that occasion but is perhaps vulnerable to a few lurking further down the weights. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Last summer's Nunthorpe second was a clear personal best; this season has been a struggle, including in this season's Nunthorpe nine days ago (first run after a gelding operation); not sure he wants the ground too testing and others look stronger. |
7/1 |
|
13th 1 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Rose far above his previous form when second of 17 to Asfoora in this race (100-1) last year in first-time cheekpieces but their effect was fleeting and subsequent runs, including in a handicap, don't offer much hope today; has now been gelded. |
80/1 |

15th 1 (12) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won the Listed Windsor Castle at this meeting as a 2yo; some ups and downs since, with his second to Asfoora in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last August showing what can be done on a good day; however, he needs to rise far above two heavy defeats this year. |

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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Hard to fancy on recent efforts with no better than a tenth-placed finish in his last five starts; however, he could be revived by a recent stable switch (from Seb Spencer) and he's fully 18lb lower than when eighth in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last summer; worth monitoring in the market. |
20/1 |

11th 10 (15) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Eighth of 24 in a 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last season but he's finished out the back in his subsequent runs; bit risky. |

13th 7 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ran quite well when an unconsidered 100-1 shot at Royal Ascot last summer but that didn't prove a springboard to better things; down in the weights but best watched back from a 245-day break. |

Smart as 2yo but she hasn't quite hit those heights in 2025, albeit facing some tough assignments; dropping down the weights and now tried in cheekpieces but others look safer. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Went close in Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good to firm) last September; reappeared with fair fifth of 15 in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) in April but has failed to build on that and she needs to raise her game now back up in trip. |
16/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In the same ownership as Miss Lamai and finished just in front of that rival when third of 24 in last season's Queen Mary; unplaced in three starts this year but looks to retain all her ability, faring better than the result when sixth in a strong Listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) last month; a big run at rewarding odds can't be ruled out in this her first handicap. |

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. |

One of three Irish challengers; heavy defeat in the Queen Mary is flanked by good performances at Naas, second in Listed grade (5f, yielding) with hood added on latest; could go well in the retained headgear. |

2nd 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Created a very nice impression when winning a C&D maiden in May; ran too bad to be true in the Queen Mary; headgear tried here and has a question to answer. |
