21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Has four Group 3 wins (on good and good to firm) under his belt; outward appearances suggest this level is beyond him but if the door had opened in time for him in this last year he might have been placed instead of finishing only fifth; frame chance. |

2nd 7 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Reappeared with good second to Night Raider in the Group 3 Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) and bounced back from below-par run at Royal Ascot to win at Sandown (5f, good) four weeks ago, taking that Group 3 for the second year in a row; has won here and is firmly in calculations. |

1st 3 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable second on reappearance when bidding for a second win in the Palace House at Newmarket; hindered by poor draw at Royal Ascot since; landed this contest (good to firm) 12 months ago, despite carrying 3lb extra, and has no penalty this time; major contender. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
3-3 at Ayr, all in Listed races including a dead-heat in this race in 2024; ran another fine race when third to classy stablemate Night Raider in the Group 2 Temple Stakes four weeks ago; obvious chance back down in grade and rain won't bother her. |

3rd 9 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Three Listed wins, latest at Ayr (5.5f, soft) last September; returned with Listed third at Bath (5f, good) but well beaten in Longchamp Group 3 (5f, soft) since; fifth in this race in 2024; may again be vulnerable. |

3rd 1 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Her three Listed wins have all come at Ayr, but she is fully effective elsewhere and ran right up to her best when a neck second at Ascot when last seen in October (5f, soft); can go well fresh and she is a leading contender despite her 3lb penalty. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Close third in Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, soft) in May and seemed stretched by 7f when fair Listed fourth at Deauville (7f, good to soft) last month; might not be far away now back down in trip, provided she handles conditions (unproven on quick ground). |
13/2 |

4th 4 (8) |
26th Apr 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Impressed over C&D on debut and she overcame adversity to win a Newbury Listed event on her second start (5f, good to soft); came up short in Group 3 events on her final two runs (not clear run on second occasion); not fully exposed but she'll need to have done well over the winter to defy this mark on her handicap debut. |

18th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Enjoyed a most productive 2yo season, winning the Super Sprint here (5f, good to soft) and the Lowther at York (6f, good to firm; Group 2); seemed not to stay 7f when only fourth of six in the Group 3 Fred Darling here on reappearance, her run flattening out; returning to sprinting should be ideal and she'll be a major player if recapturing her juvenile form. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Last win came in last year's Scurry here over slightly farther; some good runs this season, but basically he's in the handicapper's grip; went back up 4lb for Galway second over 7f, not as effective over 5f when favourite here last time. |

5th 1 (10) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 in 2023; has also won at Listed level and was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; good efforts over this trip and 6.5f here recently and even better at Galway last time when a close second of 15 (7f, yielding); had things in his favour that day but should remain competitive off 4lb higher. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (11) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 in 2023; has also won at Listed level and was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; inconsistent in recent years; has run well in two sprint handicaps at the Curragh lately. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner; no longer the force of old but ran big race when fourth of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last week; 1lb lower here and could be hard to catch if in similar form again. |
13/8 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; 3lb lower than for his runaway win at Haydock last September (5f, good) but hasn't got a lot going in his last four races and was tailed off in Epsom's Dash, in which he was second in 2024; others preferred. |
