2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Well treated judged on peak form (AW in spring 2025) but it's a serious concern that his latest start (five weeks ago; made most) so seriously damaged his record of going well when back from a break; that was the first time he's been tongue tied (as he is today) and also his first race at Kempton. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Goes well fresh (twice recorded a personal best when back from a break) and will appreciate this return to an artificial surface; fitting of a tongue-tie for this return could be a sign of intent; of interest. |

Bounced back to form in this grade at Windsor (11.5f, soft) last time, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; 1-1 over 1m6f (AW win) and enters calculations. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned from a break with two creditable efforts on Tapeta (1m4f/2m) this spring but his form slumped back on turf at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has something to prove again after that and he's still a maiden after 11 starts. |

2nd 3 (2) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking a first win after nine starts but he boasts some solid handicap form at up to 1m6f; satisfactory reappearance at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (1m4f) and that should have blown away any cobwebs; 2m presents a new challenge but it could unlock further progress. |

Useful juvenile hurdler for James Owen in 2024-25 season; AW winner last year but never sighted on last month's flat return at Roscommon; visor replaces cheekpieces and bad draw so of limited appeal. |

Useful juvenile hurdler for James Owen in 2024-25 season; won twice, and stayed on well for third (best of the home team) in the Fred Winter; AW winner, 0-6 on turf, placed four times; makes Irish debut after a long layoff and probably needs a bit further than this. |

No win since 2022 but has a pretty solid record over 2m here, most recently when beaten just under 3l on penultimate start; second in the 2022 Cesarewitch over 2m2f but he came 11th in the last two renewals of this race; worse than good to soft ground looks against him. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
10st 2lb |
Three flat wins for Michael Bell came at 1m6f on quick ground; ordinary enough hurdles form for current yard but fine run on the flat over this trip at the Curragh on Derby weekend back on decent ground, only losing second late on when 2lb out of handicap; down in grade here and tongue-tie tried; has to be respected. |

Dual-purpose; 3-13 on the Flat for Michael Bell, all three wins over 1m6f on fast ground; has placed AW form at around this trip; modest form on easy ground over hurdles so far for this yard but return to quicker conditions on the Flat could revive; 2lb wrong. |

Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive. |

Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning a Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps, however; standout Flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago off 3lb higher; didn't appear to stay the extended 2m trip at Galway on his return to this discipline last time; opposable. |

Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark. |

Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |

Registered Group 1 wins at Longchamp last October (2m4f Cadran, very soft) and this May (near 2m, soft) and every bit as good when short-headed at Ascot (good to firm) earlier in May; 7-1 for the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) nine weeks ago and raced in second for a long way before cracking in the final 2f (vet reported signs of heat stress); concedes 3lb all round today but tried to go head-to-head with the best stayers around last time and they are now absent; good chance if back to form. |

Huge improver last term, including second in the 1m6f handicap at this meeting and winning two Group events in the autumn, notably the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, very soft); every bit as good this season, as he gave Sweet William 2lb when short-headed here (2m, good to firm) and followed that with a narrow Group 1 win at Longchamp; today's company demands a bit more but the thorough test of stamina will suit and he's one to take seriously. |

Much improved last year, best effort to land the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, soft) in October; close second in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m, good) was a fine start to this campaign and his run on good to firm at Royal Ascot last June, although subsequently eclipsed, looked excellent at the time; needs respect but concedes weight all round. |
