18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Form figures read 22111 (started favourite each time; 3-3 over 1m); proved well ahead of his opening mark at Ascot in April then followed up at Newbury (again on good to firm) where he collared the pacesetter close home; very progressive and commands respect. |

1st 8 (2) |
17th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Half-brother to Palace Pier, whose Group 1 haul included the Lockinge on this card in 2021; proved well ahead of his opening mark at Ascot (1m, good to firm) on seasonal debut, scoring easily and taking form figures to 2211; one to follow and could well defy a 10lb rise with further improvement on the cards. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has not had much racing for his age and never better than this summer, producing another career best when runner-up at Goodwood (about 1m1f, good), going down narrowly to one who was ahead of his mark, both suffering interference; up 2lb; solid form chance back at 1m. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Fifth of 16 in this last year in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently and he's been in career-best form at Sandown on his last two starts, posting a win (1m, good) and a very creditable third of 12 (1m2f, good); could be involved. |
11/1 |

3rd 2 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Usually gives his running and won with a bit in hand over 1m here two weeks ago (1m, good); goes further this afternoon and off a career-high mark (4lb higher), so likely to need more. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Has lots of form in major handicaps, including a good effort over C&D last year; consistent in the main but faces a stiffer assignment upped to Group level for the first time. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Defied a 5lb lower mark in the corresponding race 12 months ago; many good runs in defeat since then, including his fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup, and he is unlikely to be too far away. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Currently in a consistent vein of form that ties him in with some of today's opponents; creditable third to Indalo at Sandown most recently; Goodwood record comprises a couple of second-place finishes at this meeting, including in this race last year; solid claims. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won a competitive handicap at Newbury (1m, good) in May and ran really well when third of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) latest, when he had to wait for room; also effective here and could be in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (12) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May but has been unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup and Coral Challenge; current mark is stiffer than the one off which he finished sixth, amid traffic issues, in this race two years ago. |
16/1 |

8th 6 (5) |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended a three-year drought when winning a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) this month; Listed winner (1m2f, soft) here earlier in his career and ran well over C&D last month; one to consider. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded his first win since landing a Group 3 in August 2023 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) off 3lb lower; his overall profile doesn't suggest he is likely to follow up. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Yet to add to his Group 3 win at Glorious Goodwood three years ago but placed several times this year, including third at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on Saturday; prior to that he was beaten only a neck over 1m4f at Epsom (good to firm) under Megan Jordan; tongue-tied first time. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins at Meydan for current yard; best effort since returned to British soil when second in small field at Hamilton; rather weighted to the hilt on 2026 form but Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb. |
8/1 |
|
16th 5 (22) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a Meydan double early this year; came up short in the Royal Ascot handicap he'd won in 2024 but ran respectably, behind an unbeaten rival, at Hamilton most recently; has to overcome the widest draw returned to a bigger stage. |
40/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
High-class handicap form at 6f to 1m on a range of surfaces and he was up against it when second to a progressive winner in this race last year; has since won two handicaps at Meydan for new yard and perhaps felt the lack of a recent run when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last month; leading player. |

8yo who has won five times on the July Course here, including two this year; 0-9 on this track but latest fifth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire was highly creditable; another who can't be discounted. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
8yo who has run well in this race previously and won two in a row on the other Newmarket course in July; however, he's finished no better than fifth across his last five outings and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Goes well fresh and should cope if it gets tactical given all three of his C&D wins were achieved in single-figure fields; pushing two years since he last got his head in front but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when fifth over track and trip last time; of significant interest. |
7/2 |
|
1 (10) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 4-13 on AW and 3-4 at Kempton; below par returned to this sphere ten weeks ago and losing run is mounting up but a revival would put him in the picture; 1lb below last winning mark. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Landed the Chesterfield Cup at this meeting in 2023, initiating a notable double; however, has failed to score since and current mark reflects a broad decline in his form; drop to Class 3 had no effect last time and he looks a shadow of his former self. |
33/1 |
|
9th 5 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's fully 7lb lower than when a close third at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last July but was soundly beaten on his final three outings last season and it's been the same story on his two starts this term. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Often held up in rear, so he saw very little daylight when 50-1 off career-low mark in the Spring Cup at Newbury in April; dropped another 2lb since but he last won in September 2023 and failed to make an impact in all but one of his races in 2025, so does not look the percentage call. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
5-21 on AW compared to 0-11 on grass; struggled off his lower turf mark at Epsom four weeks ago but he had reappeared with a creditable effort here previously and his last success was over C&D; could be dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
5-21 on AW compared to 0-10 on turf and he's been well beaten in his two races here; turf mark is 12lb below AW figure and he should have come on since his recent, creditable reappearance, but others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well over C&D last October and he was well backed when winning over 7f back here five days later; below his best at Chelmsford one day later; history doesn't suggest coming back from a break is the time to catch him. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has returned from the Middle East with fine efforts at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and over 1m on the straight course here (good to firm) in July; should remain competitive under these conditions. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Inconsistent but he's just 1lb higher than when making all at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last December and he returned from a break with an encouraging third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when again making the running; might not face much opposition for the lead; chance. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 2 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Pops up with the odd very big run, such as when capitalising on an easy lead at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last December; he's just 2lb higher today and is not ruled out but he's inconsistent and this is his first start since a heavy Group 3 defeat on dirt at Meydan in February. |
