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. |

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 |

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. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good C&D record includes a win in this last year off 5lb higher; back on form when narrowly denied at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and things went wrong from the start (stumbled) when well behind Westridge at Goodwood since; could bounce back. |
18/1 |
|
6 (16) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has a mixed 1-6 record at Goodwood, with the win in 2019, but he won a 17-runner race at the York Ebor meeting last August and went down by a neck at Sandown this month, both over 1m2f on good to firm but the ground was not an issue previously; now a 9yo but 4lb lower than for that York win; drawn wide but likely to be delivered late anyway. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Resilient 9yo who can still give it plenty in competitive handicaps, as when beating 16 rivals at York (about 1m2f, good to firm; off 5lb higher) last August; however, he has less obvious claims on subsequent handicap runs, including back at York in June. |

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. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

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. |

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. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who looked highly progressive when winning handicaps at Newcastle (1m, AW) and over C&D (good to firm) in the summer; unraced on softer than good and he's failed to continue his improving ways the last twice, but perhaps first-time cheekpieces will give him a boost; not discounted. |

18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Progressive form in justifying favouritism in 1m handicaps at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good to firm) before hanging for pressure and finishing only midfield in a deep one at York; has to bounce back from that but a QEII entry gives plenty of hope that he might. |

Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |

Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn. |

9st 10lb |
As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |

Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off. |

Had soft ground as a possible excuse for his no show in the Balmoral at Ascot last month and solid record in handicaps before that, including fourth in Hunt Cup and a defeat of subsequent Cambridgeshire winner Liberty Lane at Doncaster (1m2f) in September; has a 2-2 AW record; no surprise were he to make his presence felt in this higher grade. |

The most recent of his five wins came in the 2024 Lincoln on soft; left the impression his first start for 324 days was needed when sixth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but this C&D winner has been off again since. |

Has won on firm but best form on soft, as when winning the Lincoln (1m) in 2024; lightly raced with little return since but he was hampered on Newcastle AW last June; entitled to be rusty for new trainer on this first run since; missed a race earlier this month due to good to firm ground. |

Returned in July from ten months off and has run well in his last three starts, third of nine at Sandown (7f, soft) last time, but he has managed to win only one of his last 25 starts and is still 5lb higher; addition of a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |

Two wins last year (1m, good to firm/good to soft; he's possibly okay on soft) and added another off this mark at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; however, he's finished no better than seventh across his five runs since. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unbeaten at this course until two defeats at the 2026 Glorious Goodwood, albeit faced a difficult task on ratings and raced too close to strong pace in the Sussex Stakes latest (fluky winner of that race 12 months earlier); has a better chance in this field. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Prevailed in York Group 3 when dropped back to 7f last month, benefiting from the first application of a tongue-tie, and rallied for fourth behind Lake Forest in 7f Group 2 Lennox here yesterday; well suited by Goodwood but he was a fluky 150-1 winner of this race last year, having been allowed too much rope in a pacemaking duty, and seems unlikely to repeat the feat. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed in Group 3 event at York (7f, good) last time, bouncing back to form with tongue-tie fitted (retained today) and dropped back in trip; record of 3-3 at Goodwood features a success when pacemaker in last year's Sussex Stakes; commands respect returned to this venue. |

10st 2lb |
Off a good mark he wore down a subsequent winner at Ayr (1m, good) and getting back on softer ground is a plus; raised just 3lb and he's on the shortlist; stays this far. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and some of that has been here, although not on his latest visit in July when only eighth; however, he's one of a few in here who would appreciate softening ground and firmly enters the reckoning. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has produced his peak RPR of 102 in both C&D attempts, including a win off 3lb higher in this race last year; Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 5lb; interesting returned to this scenario. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
In good form last June, winning off this mark over C&D (good) before an excellent second at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); some fair efforts this season and on a good mark now; not out of it. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten on his last 14 starts and he's been expensive to follow in that time, but he was denied a clear run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when fifth of 19 at York (7f, good) last time; could be thereabouts. |
