2nd 5 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner (7f, good) who won on AW at Newcastle in December, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 11l when sixth at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's still 6lb higher than for his last win; regular hood is removed. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Defied penalty in 3yo novice here (good) in 2024; back from a 145-day break and wind surgery when landing Class 2 at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in December and beaten a neck at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in March; career-high mark but still considered. |
6/1 |

16th 5 (16) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Confined to 7f for all his runs and the winner of two novices on good ground; didn't get the best of runs when a 3l third at Goodwood two runs back and then raced freely with no cover at Doncaster; retains potential and probably quick enough for 6f. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Useful handicapper whose C&D record includes a creditable fourth in this race last year and a close third to Mezcala in June; however, he needs a revival of sorts, having not been in the same form since. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
7f specialist, not beaten far in Ascot's Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm) in first half of this year; never able to challenge over same C&D last time; this is less competitive and he should be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
9th 3 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Merely mid-division behind Aalto in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago but this C&D brings out the best in him, as evidenced by this season's close-up finishes in the Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm); could be bang there now back at Ascot. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Carries top weight but can deal with her current mark which is 2lb lower than when second at Newbury three runs back (7f, good to firm); she raced alone for a large part of the race when back over 6f at Salisbury and then got behind after flyjumping the start last time (7f); has the ability to feature, provided she doesn't fluff the start (happened more than once). |
10/1 |
|
12th 2 (18) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; back-to-form second over C&D (good to firm) last month and may not have been helped by racing alone during the first half of the race when well held over 6f at Salisbury since. |
25/1 |

9th 1 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on. |
10/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he has proved broadly consistent since last success, most recently beating all bar the market leader at Musselburgh (7f, good); again has place possibilities. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has only won a novice when aged two; has threatened in handicaps from 7f to 1m3f but now has to get himself back on track after three lesser shows. |
20/1 |

12th 1 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
8yo who hasn't been at his best on his last three starts, most recently 8l third of seven over C&D (soft; has won on such ground over C&D); however, he has a solid record at Goodwood and is 3lb lower than when runner-up here (7f, good) in May; not ruled out. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two-time course winner, including this trip on soft, and he is on a manageable mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts and he may need slower ground at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Best with positive tactics, as when leading until well inside final 1f at Goodwood in May; only tenth at Epsom on Oaks day but that was a warm race and he's had a break since; goes well on soft ground; possibilities. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins have been on Polytrack but latest was 14 months ago; creditable third off 5lb higher at Lingfield last December but he's finished down the field in three subsequent runs including at Kempton in March; comes with risks attached after a break and he hasn't had much luck with the draw. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (10) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems equally effective over 7f or 1m; back on a mark he can win off and was noted doing some nice late work in race he'd won the previous year over the shorter trip of 7f last time; draw for this prominent racer could have been kinder. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded another good C&D effort when third of 12 just before Christmas; not in the same form when fifth of six over 1m here nine days later but he's capable of bouncing back. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |
11/2 |
|
2 (9) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dry since a C&D win in 2023 and has looked on the downgrade in recent times; goes back to cheekpieces from blinkers, minus the tongue-tie again, after four months off; outsider. |
50/1 |
