19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off. |
11/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned only on good/firmer; progressive 2yo campaign featured 6f wins at Newbury (Listed) and Newmarket (Group 1 Middle Park Stakes); may be back in top form with Ascot reappearance (Group 3) under his belt; major player, despite conceding weight all round. |
9/2 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
On the up when last seen, rounding off his 2yo campaign with a comfortable come-from-behind win in the Middle Park in September (6f, good to firm); may confirm his superiority over Brussels and Coppull despite the weights turnaround and he is not fully exposed just yet. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Eight runs last season, the highlight his 6f Group 2 near-miss at Chantilly in July; however, he was inconsistent and hasn't shown anything like enough on his two runs this term to suggest he'll make an impact today. |
100/1 |

10th 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Eight runs last season, the highlight his 6f Group 2 near-miss at Chantilly in July; however, he was inconsistent and finished down the field on his reappearance at Doncaster in March (Listed); others appeal more. |
33/1 |

11th 12 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Winless after debut (5f, good to firm) last spring but he did finish second in Listed race (5f, good to soft) and Group 2 (6f, soft) in France; however, this looks a stern assignment for his reappearance and it's over 20 years since a 3yo won this race. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Finished a close third in a hot race at Ascot last April (closely matched with Angel Of Anfield) on his second start and had little trouble in seeing off eight rivals in a 7f maiden here last October; his two runs since, seven months apart, have resulted in heavy defeats; drops in class and could make a bold bid back on AW with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
7/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Absent and gelded since finishing last in valuable event at Ascot on Champions Day; scored readily at Kempton (AW; sole 7f attempt) earlier in October when back from a layoff, and that performance bodes well for him being fresh; may do better still. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Went close in French Group 2 in July and picked up Deauville Group 3 (also 6f, first-time blinkers) the following month; gelded prior to his reappearance and did enough to show he'd trained on when third of four, beaten 3l, on AW debut at Kempton (1m) in February; wore cheekpieces that day and now drops back to sprinting in returning blinkers; firmly in the picture. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Well placed by connections to land French Group 3 in August, which earned him a triple-figure BHA rating; gelded after managing sixth in valuable sales race at Doncaster's St Leger meeting; yet to go beyond 6.5f but this is unlikely to be a true test and his dam ran over 1m/1m2f; AW debut; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers; trainer took this in 2023 with one who had won in France. |
5/1 |
|
1 (22) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Below-par favourite in the York sales race won by Song Of The Clyde but steadily progressive otherwise and bagged Group 3 honours at Deauville (6f, good) earlier in August; major player provided he rebounds. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A fair C&D winner at 2yrs; came in last of ten in 7f Ascot handicap on his seasonal return but this Harry Angel gelding can take a step forward now back in trip. |
10/1 |
|
10th 4 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
All turf races at sprint trips on good to firm and good, vigorously ridden when making all at Windsor last August from one who went on to better things; a similarly useful effort when runner-up on Kempton AW in October but he lacks a recent run and has a new trip to contend with. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Clearly best effort when winning C&D Listed event (good ground) in May, coming from well off strong pace; well beaten in the big 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot three weeks ago; needs another personal best, and by some way. |
14/1 |
|
20th 1 (19) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Finished second in the Windsor Castle over C&D at this meeting 12 months ago before third-place finishes in three more Group/Listed races; returned from eight months off to win a 5f Listed event at York five weeks ago, missing the break but avoiding the fierce early pace as a result and sweeping through late on; has a touch of class and stable sent out the topweight to finish second in this race 12 months ago. |
11/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
All starts at 5f on good or good to firm; no wins since his debut success at Musselburgh 13 months ago but he ran a belter when second of 20 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; again very useful form when beaten around 2l by Revival Power in Listed C&D event in August and Doncaster Group 2 three weeks later; solid each-way claims on this reappearance. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Turf maiden winner who did well on the AW during the winter, but well held on his return from six months off at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; something to prove tackling this far for the first time. |
14/1 |
|
9th 4 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 with 7f Lingfield win and backed it up with a good second in 7f Southwell handicap on New Year's Day; absent since though so has his fitness to prove. |
8/1 |
|
7 (8) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Had something to spare when winning a 6f Ripon maiden on third start but he came home in his own time once his chance had gone on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f; 2l behind the hampered Art Lover); work to do. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Goodwood 2yo novice winner who kept fairly good company last year; made promising reappearance third (AW) in April and was back in that sort of form when third again at Newmarket (again 6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; was first home of the far-side group that day and the field won't be splitting this time. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't look to see it out on his final two runs last year and 7f has again looked beyond him the past twice, off the back of a solid AW comeback off 2lb higher; today's stiff 6f should be more up his street and he's worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
11th 1 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Proved his effectiveness over 7f when fifth of ten at Ascot (good ground) two weeks ago; others have more obvious potential but first-time cheekpieces could give him a boost. |

9st 6lb |
Had some difficult assignments after 5f Newbury maiden win on debut; well behind on handicap debut at Leicester (6f, good to firm; 28-1) on return in May; needs too much more to make him of strong interest this time. |
16/1 |

11th 5 (11) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Narrow winner of 5f Newbury maiden on debut last April and showed comparable form over 6f among some testing assignments after; gelded since; withdrawn from intended reappearance this month; worth a market check. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb
|
Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal. |
9/2 |
|
5th 12 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Won a less competitive C&D handicap off 2lb lower in May; again inclined to over-race when upped to 1m on turf at Windsor last time, which was another solid effort all things considered but he's vulnerable to improvers in this better race. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has consistent AW form, latterly for new yard; narrowly beat Court Of Stars at Wolverhampton (7f) most recently; possible danger, provided he's as effective back on turf and at new trip. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
18th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Has made the frame over 6f on his last four starts, running up to his best when third of eight at Newcastle in March; steps back up in trip and again shouldn't be far away. |

Best effort in eight starts for Richard Hannon when beaten a neck in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW) in December; 6,000gns buy in February before never dangerous in a small field at Brighton (7f, good to firm; 28-1) 16 days ago; needs a rapid revival. |

9th 6 (4) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made a bold bid when a close second in a nursery here (8.6f) last month but he failed to back that up at Lingfield (1m) four days later; that may have come too soon but he's now 0-7 and has a bit to prove again back at this trip. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Had a charmed run when winning first four handicaps, at 1m and 7f, but the spell was broken by St Anton at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) last time; raised a further 5lb against rivals who haven't shown their hand to the same extent; cheekpieces are now fitted. |
9/1 |

19 (13) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Reserve; won this spring in his first four handicaps and beaten a head at Carlisle on latest; makes a big step up in class but his stable has continued in great form and, although he's unraced beyond 1m and the third of those wins was over 7f, there's enough in his family to give hope for 1m2f. |
28/1 |
|
33 (19) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb
|
Reserve; some feat to win four handicaps on the bounce (7f/1m) but he has gone up another 5lb since his narrow defeat to St Anton at Carlisle (good to firm) and that rise spells danger. |
25/1 |
