21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Said goodbye to handicaps when winning over C&D in May 2025 and just two runs later he won the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (good to firm; handles good to soft); off the track for nearly a year after and he's been slowly working his way back to form since, looking more his old self when winning a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood latest; a likely force. |

1st 2 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last June then missed the rest of the season; mixed form this year but he showed spark when second to Night Raider at Haydock in May and today's expected frenetic gallop will be right up his street; not ruled out. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Didn't give his running in bid for back-to-back victories in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (last of 26) last month, but he'd previously shaped well when second in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock; this C&D winner (good to firm) takes a drop in grade and will be a danger to all if on a going day. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Admirable sprinter who has run some fine races in defeat this year, including when having poor track position in the Nunthorpe nine days ago; drops in grade and holds solid claims. |

7th 4 (16) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Handles most ground; best form when winning a Group 2 on good to soft at Glorious Goodwood in 2025 and although he hasn't nailed it in the same way this year, the recent rain could give him a toehold into this race; visored once as a 2yo, now goes in blinkers. |

5th 4 (14) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won a handicap at this meeting in 2023 and he won this race last year (good to soft; seems versatile ground-wise); he hasn't been at the very top of his game this year but there have been encouraging signs on his last two starts and he could play a leading role back at Glorious Goodwood. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Not that easy to win with (2-27 on turf) but is a C&D winner (good to soft) and has run creditably when third over C&D on last two starts (closely matched with Montezuma on last week's run); a possible |

3rd 1 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

C&D winner; it has been a while since his latest success but he has slipped down the weights and both this year's C&D runs (in deeper races) were encouraging; can go well fresh and a big run is on the cards. |

Prominent racer; on a lenient mark but his losing sequence is mounting and he had no obvious excuses when beating just one home at Beverley three weeks ago. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft and yielding ground but best on good or quicker; came from the clouds before meeting trouble in running in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot, so did well to finish about 3l behind the winner; again came from behind when leading near the line in a Group 2 at the Curragh since; in prime form but those tactics can be hard to pull off here. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage. |
7/1 |

13th 4 (21) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
One of his best domestic efforts when winning a C&D handicap last July; seemingly improved when successful in 5f Listed and Group 2 events at Meydan (yielding and good) in midwinter but has much more to do in this company. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in 2024; finished down the field in the Silver Cup at Ripon (6f, good) 11 days ago but he ran well at Thirsk (5f, good) the time before and should be happier back at 5f; others preferred, however. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

5f win here off 2lb higher in May; quiet afterwards until reviving with a second of six at Thirsk last week; has a C&D win on his record but rarely seen over 6f in recent times. |

2nd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Recorded his fifth turf win when scoring at Ripon (5f, good) in May but he's struggled since and has failed to beat a rival in his last three starts; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |
5/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Twice went close in June (5f, good to soft) and he ran well once more when close seventh of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; could be in the shake-up. |
7/1 |
|
7th 21 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Two no-shows at Goodwood were at this meeting in 2023, including this race; however, provided the track doesn't pose any problems, he could be interesting after strong finishes in the Dash at Epsom and last time at Chester where a slow start was the last thing he needed; he should be coming home to some effect. |
