18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Useful on turf, recording peak RPR when landing a Group 2 at Haydock (6f, good) last May; not at his best in two runs in Dubai this winter; switch to AW shouldn't be an issue and he has the ability to feature. |
6/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Stablemate of Notable Speech; suited by good/firmer; has a very impressive record (161111) over 6f, narrowly justifying favouritism in the Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock most recently; beat Ides Of March at Newbury (Listed) a week earlier; unable to run in the Commonwealth Cup due to being a gelding; major contender, with further improvement plausible kept to this trip and back from a well-earned break (had a busy May). |

8st 13lb |
Short-headed in the Group 2 Sandy Lane at Haydock (6f, good) in May and creditable fourth in the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f, good) last time; didn't convince with her stamina in the Nell Gwyn in April on her sole crack at 7f but that was her reappearance and the lack of a recent run may have told late on; can be thereabouts if seeing out the trip. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Group 2 win as a 2yo and also third in the Group 1 Cheveley Park; better than ever when second in a Haydock Group 2 in May but she failed to back it up in the Commonwealth Cup; each-way shout. |
9/1 |
|

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win (from eight starts) came in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good) last July; better than ever when short-headed in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good) last month and has an each-way chance if backing up that performance. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Cork Listed race (5.5f, good) and Newbury Group 3 (5f, good to soft) in 2025 but hasn't got close to that form in two 5f starts this year, albeit it was a Royal Ascot Group 1 latterly; won over 6f on good to firm at the start of her career. |
12/1 |

22th 15 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Useful 5f form as a 3yo, inching forward again when gaining a narrow win over Shagraan in a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft; acts on good) last September; she was entitled to need the run behind Night Raider at Newmarket in April but a big advance on her form is needed. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Respectable eighth in the 5f Group 1 at Royal Ascot with reappearance under his belt; better over 6f nowadays and posted one of his peak efforts in this race (good to firm) last year, finishing a neck second; later landed the Sprint Cup at Haydock in sole start under William Buick; interesting with that rider back on board. |
9/1 |

8th 3 (17) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
6f winner here last April; best form at that trip in Group 1s since, going down narrowly in the July Cup at Newmarket (good to firm) and later winning the Sprint Cup at Haydock (good) last September; beaten favourite at Goodwood (good to soft) in between when having a rare 5f run but this stiffer test at the trip and quicker ground will suit; needs extra all the same. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Campaigned mostly on good ground or firmer; drops back in grade for this seasonal debut and even under a 5lb penalty holds a major chance on best Group 1 form last term, namely close second in the July Cup and success in the Sprint Cup (beat Kind Of Blue by just over 1l; both well drawn). |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won the Listed Windsor Castle at this meeting as a 2yo; some ups and downs since, with his second to Asfoora in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last August showing what can be done on a good day; however, he needs to rise far above two heavy defeats this year. |
80/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Ran well in last year's Nunthorpe in sole York attempt, finishing 100-1 second, but that's very much an outlier in his form; still needs to prove he can repeat it; failed to beat a rival in Newmarket Group 3 contest on reappearance. |
33/1 |

14th 2 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Listed winner at Royal Ascot as a 2yo; out of luck since but he showed what can be done on a good day when chasing home Asfoora in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm; 100-1) last August; no approach to that form since, however, and although Ryan Moore is booked, the absence of cheekpieces raises a query. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Very experienced for his age; winner of six of his 16 starts and placed eight times; strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a C&D Group 2 in July; faded in the final quarter-mile of the Nunthorpe; could bounce back and helps to give the stable a strong hand, with Bucanero Fuerte also in the mix. |

11th 9 (9) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Often leads; has had plenty of racing for his tender years but he's tough and reliable and his first 5f run of the year saw him achieve strong form in winning with something to spare from Mgheera in a Group 2 at the Curragh (good; acts well on firm) in July; still has potential over 5f. |
11/2 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Front running 3yo is a two-time Group 3 winner at 5.5f-6f; narrowly denied in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last November on his last start over 5f (firm); touched off in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month (6f, gd-fm); right in the mix on official ratings and a bold bid looks likely. |

All wins over 6f (on soft and good ground) in the autumn months; excelled himself when winning the Ayr Silver Cup (soft) last September but it seems unlikely he will reproduce that form on this belated return. |

6th 2 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Came good last autumn, winning three times, and he confirmed that this is his time of year by posting a personal best to beat his 24 rivals in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft; made all) two weeks ago; hasn't run over 5f since the early part of his 2yo campaign but gives the impression this trip may well suit; well worth his place back in a Listed race and set for a bold show. |

Often leads; ended 2yo season with a flourish, three 6f wins including one at this meeting and a Listed Redcar race (good and soft); has failed to shine this year but conditions are more in his favour today; revival possible; one of three for the yard. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Looked smart when landing the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (6f, heavy) on final juvenile start; beat only one rival in his first two races last term; produced massive shock (200-1) when beating the favourite Lazaat in 6f Group 1 at Ascot last October (good); wind-surgery evidently the key to that success; little mileage on the clock, fascinating prospect for this season. |

Looked a smart prospect when landing the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (6f, heavy) last autumn, but he's beaten just one rival in two outings this term and had wind surgery in between; hard to fancy. |

9st 6lb |
Close to a career best when winning over 6f here (Class 3; 2-1 favourite; from 3lb lower) over Christmas; free and a beaten favourite twice since, so will need to drop the anchor if to make his presence felt over today's longer trip; others make more appeal. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a gamble over C&D in December, his first run after a gelding operation; only third off this mark at Kempton last time where he was hamstrung by a refusal to settle; still lurks on an interesting mark and he is one to take seriously, even with the stable on a losing run of 25. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Landed a gamble at Wolverhampton six weeks ago (6f), his first run since a gelding operation; well on top at the finish on that occasion and a 4lb rise looks extremely fair given the second, fourth and fifth have won since; good draw and lots to like. |
