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. |

|
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. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6f novice winner on turf and also runner-up in a nursery off 3lb higher; hasn't beaten a rival this season but the ability is there should a first-time hood trigger something. |
12/1 |
|
10th 9 (5) |
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. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Third in the Group 3 Molecomb over C&D (good) last July and reappeared with 3yo Listed win at York (5f, good) in May; not beaten far when seventh of 13 in Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and still lightly raced, but he's down the pecking order on ratings in this line-up. |
25/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
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. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close off 2lb higher over C&D on New Year's Day but returned from a break with three disappointing efforts this summer, the latest when back over this C&D; needs to get back in the groove. |
9/1 |
|
8th 10 (10) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won 6f turf maiden and a 7f handicap on Lingfield AW as 2yo; seemed to improve when runner-up over C&D in January but he hasn't gone on from that back on turf (7f and 1m); return to this trip should suit but others are higher up the list. |
12/1 |
|
11th 12 (6) |
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. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Goodwood novice winner in May of last year; 0-9 in the meantime and progress has levelled out; ran no more than okay when third of five in a new tongue-tie last week at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Justified favouritism in a Goodwood novice (6f, good) last May but he's 0-8 since and has been inconsistent; now 7lb lower than for his opening mark but he struggled at Epsom last time and others are more convincing; tongue-tie added. |
6/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ran well over C&D last summer before struggling in good company on his final two starts as a 2yo; no better in two runs this year and the new cheekpieces need to turn things around. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
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. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made just about all for his two wins at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in the spring, but was raised 10lb for his 7l romp there last time and may face competition for the lead on this return from three months off. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 |
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. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner who doubled his tally when grabbing the favoured stands' rail here 12 days ago; prevailed by only half a length and has a 5lb higher mark today (also had claimed 3lb off his back last time); perhaps vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Won over 7f at Wolverhampton in May and close up in next two races, at 1m and 7f; finished last at Lingfield 12 days ago but that was over 6f. |
11/2 |

5th 5 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Made the breakthrough at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in May and he's finished a creditable third on turf (1m, good to firm) and Tapeta (7f) since; now returns to sprinting but he has plenty of form at this trip and still looks on a workable mark; in the mix. |

A couple of placed efforts at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month; didn't settle when well beaten over 1m here 12 days ago; may prove vulnerable for win purposes once more. |

6th 6 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

A maiden after 11 starts but hasn't been with current stable long and comes here after making the frame in two 7f Epsom handicaps last month; looks ready or another crack at 1m and this return to Polytrack won't be a problem; could have a say. |

Ten-race maiden; finished in front of Eyes Front when second over C&D two weeks ago but that seemed unlikely for the vast majority of the race; the placings may be reversed this time. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won his first four handicaps (1m/7f) and close next time; cheekpieces for both starts since (1m, good to firm) when disappointing at Newmarket and hanging right late on in a respectable ninth at Goodwood; needs to resume progress but stamina in the family makes this new trip look interesting. |

9th 4 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
4-4 in handicaps (1m/7f) prior to clear second to thriving winner at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May; disappointing at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained) and something to prove on the back of that, but not written off in view of previous form. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
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. |
