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. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Acts well on good or quicker; Listed winner over C&D; has had excuses for two Group 1 defeats at 5f in Britain, not ideally drawn in this race last June and checked in his run in the Nunthorpe at York in August, albeit still doing well in the latter in fifth of 17 to Asfoora; useful comeback at Newmarket in April when a close second to Night Raider; can be thereabouts. |
14/1 |

2nd 7 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on flat tracks but he comes into his own when tackling a stiff test at 5f, as when winning this race last year, taking C&D record to 2-2, and roaring home to win a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; cheekpieces worn in October are discarded; yard in form; not to be underestimated. |

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. |

8st 7lb |
Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 at this venue in 2023, Listed contests and this event 12 months ago; was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; inconsistent this year; good run when second here last time, 3lb wrong |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; second in this race in 2024 off 3lb higher; ran away with a 5f handicap at Haydock (good ground) last September off this mark; unable to hit the same heights since but his AW third in February was a fair run; won't be inconvenienced should there be a marked deterioration in the going but a full revival is required; visor returns having been left off latest. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who looks well handicapped on his win at Haydock (5f, good) last autumn but he's been disappointing at Musselburgh and Goodwood this spring; has some questions to answer and he needs a major revival with headgear removed; stablemate of Rhythm N Hooves. |
12/1 |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful front-runner who returned with a good third in 5f AW listed event at Lingfield in February; not at his best on soft ground at Musselburgh since but can bounce back here. |
