9st 8lb |
Resurgent when winning 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) last month, leading 2f out and keeping on well; all his successes have come at that distance but under these quick conditions he should be fine back at 7f; unbeaten at Newbury and has to be considered now that he's back in top form. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Still below best when third at Newcastle (AW debut) last time but that was something of resurgence; progressive spell culminated in wins over C&D (Listed) and at Haydock (Group 2) in May 2025; possibilities provided he returns to that sort of form. |

9st 5lb |
3yo won a Group 3 over C&D last year; started this season promisingly with runner up efforts in listed company at Navan (6f, soft) and Newbury (6f, gd-fm); struggled in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup and July Stakes and again in the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes here on latest (slowly away); needs to bounce back. |

Group 3 winner as a 2yo; creditable second in Listed races won by stablemate Whistlejacket and Symbol Of Honour this spring but came up well short in the Commonwealth Cup and still needs to prove he's a Group 1 colt; deserted by Ryan Moore for the third time this year. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f, good) last July and she's run well in defeat on both starts this season, finishing third to Flora Of Bermuda at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; Listed) before 3l ninth of 18 in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm); stays well over 6f and this new trip is worth a go; major player if stamina isn't an issue. |
3/1 |

9th 18 (19) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Close fourth in the Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) 12 months ago and readily won the Group 3 Summer Stakes against fellow fillies at York (6f, good) last July; last month's comeback third to Flora Of Bermuda at Newmarket gives her something to build on but others are more compelling. |

Had excuses (trip/draw) returned to Group 1 level in last two appearances; progressive otherwise and ran well in the Commonwealth Cup prior to Group 3 win at York (6f, good) last summer; may still have more to offer; major contender. |

He has done all his winning on AW but his fourth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April is a comparable standard; can win races on the grass but perhaps not this one. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has made the frame at Newcastle (AW; behind Wiltshire) and Leicester since being gelded; good fourth in the Listed Carnarvon Stakes on this card last year; 0-3 on turf but has each-way claims. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) last April; held in six subsequent runs but he went close off this mark at Southwell in November and was a creditable third at Newcastle three weeks ago; now returns to turf but he ran well in a fast-ground Listed event last spring and he's still unexposed in this sphere; in the mix. |

Highly tried after winning her novice in 2024, confined to Listed and Group races ever since; it's difficult to gauge where she is right now and cheekpieces are turned to. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Placed four times in Listed grade but below par in two comeback outings this spring (behind Flora Of Bermuda at Newmarket latterly); off ten weeks; even a return to her best is highly unlikely to be enough. |

Novice winner as a 2yo; placed four times in Listed grade, most recently runner-up over C&D (good to firm) on final start in 2025; ran below market expectations at Bath on reappearance but consistent on the whole and may rebound. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Clear best in the 2025 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f) but was pulled up (lost action) in only subsequent start last term and has failed to show his form this year; drop back to 6f had no effect last time; enough to prove. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
7f AW win as a 2yo; enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 12 months ago; only seen twice since, pulling up at Goodwood last July and then finishing a remote last of five in a French Group 3 (soft ground) last month; not solid but he'll be a danger to all if back near that Jersey Stakes form. |
11/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Left his previous form way behind when a commanding winner of the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); he needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off but the runner-up has since gone well in the July Cup and this 3yo is entitled to respect. |

9st 13lb |
Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; back close to that form when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has claims but he's often held up (tends to start slowly) and this isn't the easiest course to make ground up. |

Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; not at the same level when mid-division there (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but can be in the shake-up if swiftly rediscovering his previous form. |

Best efforts at 7f, including on this course; signs of return to form when close seventh of 20 at Glorious Goodwood, having to wait for room; handles good to soft ground; should be thereabouts off the same mark. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Finished a fairly close fourth in this last year (good) when the pick of James Doyle from three Wathnan runners; had been gelded before taking a 7f handicap at Kempton (AW) on his reappearance in the spring but it's been downhill in two subsequent starts; hopes pinned on his second visit to Goodwood sparking a revival. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Record is 3-10; gelded prior to reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW; looked better than ever) and had an excuse (raced in unfavoured group) when never landing a blow in the Victoria Cup over C&D since; could go well, provided this race pans out better. |

9st 8lb |
Won 2yo debut but 0-14 since and his form has been rather mixed; close third off this mark over C&D (good to firm) on penultimate start is the big plus point this year; slowly away when no show over 7f latest; hooded last five starts in 2025 and now tries cheekpieces. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

3rd 11 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
0-12 since his wide-margin debut win as a 2yo but he ended 2025 with some good runs and went close in Dubai in December (6f, good to firm); his last two runs at Meydan weren't his best but a break may have freshened him up and he is on a dangerous mark. |
