9th 6 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
6yo who rose through the ranks last season and won the Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) in August; reappeared with respectable fourth of 14 to Night Raider in the Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and he could show the benefit of that outing today. |

4th 4 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Below best from a high draw in the Group 1 Abbaye on final 2025 start; thoroughly reliable previously and he richly deserved his Group 2 win at Goodwood (5f, good to soft; effective on good to firm) last August; versatile track-wise but has never run at Newmarket so there is a query to answer. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (13) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Thoroughly honest 5yo who has risen to new heights over 5f this year with his win in the Dash at Epsom (good; acts on good to firm) topped by a Group 2 win at Goodwood last time out, albeit with the race going like clockwork for him; has more to do in this company, including with Washington Heights on Listed form over C&D in July, but he won't fail for the want of trying. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Below par in two AW outings this year but might have been building up his fitness and this former course scorer is starting to look well treated on the pick of last year's turf form; no shock were he to bounce back to form. |

7th 9 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |

Got the better of Pilgrim at Ripon (5f, good) last April off a mark 2lb higher than today's, and he ended the season with some solid placed efforts; faded at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month on his first start for 111 days but he may well have needed it. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made the frame in valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June and Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in July, but then ran poorly at the Shergar Cup two weeks ago; his record now reads just one win from ten attempts and he has something to prove in a race as competitive as this one. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
In the frame in notable handicaps at the Royal meeting (5f, good to firm) and Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on his last two starts; 11lb better off with Prince Of India for just over 4l on the latter occasion; no obvious reason why he wouldn't give his running again. |
9/1 |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ran his best race when keeping on for fourth of 24 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); looked ready for the return to 6f on that occasion but is perhaps vulnerable to a few lurking further down the weights. |

She divided Washington Heights and Jm Jungle in a York Listed race (5f, good to firm) last July and later won at that level in France but, even allowing for having a fitness edge, she has to raise her game to win today. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
8yo who was inconsistent last season and lacks a recent run; however, he's just 1lb higher than when both second of 13 over C&D (good) last May and winning at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) next time; not ruled out each-way. |
33/1 |

13 (21) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Not far off his best this year and won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June, but he's been in and out since and was well held in the Ayr Gold Cup; this C&D winner could be revived but he doesn't have the potential of some of these. |
33/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Fine servant who was winning for the eighth time when successful in a 5f handicap at Hamilton in June; good third back at Hamilton in July but not at quite the same level on his last two starts; this will be his fifth attempt in one of the Cups here though and last season's Silver Cup third was his best result; stable has stronger claims elsewhere. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Just one win to his name but runner-up in a big field at the Dante meeting here and again found only one too good at Southwell in September; however, both those runs were over 5f, he hasn't looked as effective at this trip and he never looked like getting involved over 5f here on Friday. |
25/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a cracker to finish second of 22 in a hot 3yo C&D handicap at the Dante meeting; unable to build on that since but he returned to form when second at Southwell 17 days ago; that was a drop in class and a 2lb rise back up in grade could find him out. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

Faded in the closing stages over 6f at Newmarket last time but 5f is more her trip and her latest attempt over the minimum distance resulted in a creditable third at Lingfield (AW) at the beginning of September; has dropped to only 1lb above the mark she defied on turf at Lingfield in August. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |

Turf win here last month (5f, good); not so good at York a fortnight ago but that was a warm race; promise in each of her three AW starts thus far; not ideally drawn though and others perhaps stronger for win purposes. |

C&D winner in 2022, with no joy from nine subsequent visits but most of those were over shorter, whereas his last four wins (elsewhere) have been at about 7f; he's now 1lb lower than when making all at Beverley last September and a case can be made. |

Has bundles of early speed and she used it to good effect at both Kempton (6f) and York (5f) in the first half of the season; ran better than the 5l defeat suggests behind Shagraan at Beverley last time but, even so, it appeared to highlight her limitations at this level. |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Has progressed with virtually every run since joining her current yard in 2023, winning five handicaps; her latest success at York in May was a personal best by some way and showed she's at least as effective at 5f as 6f; in much deeper here but she still looks unexposed and could have a say. |

Capable of smart handicap form in 2022 and 2023 (RPR 102); ended 2023 tamely though and no sign of a revival in three runs last year; not a solid option but it's possible a change of stable could have freshened him up and he's thrown in if that's the case. |

Had a good season for new yard in 2025, winning on second start and running two excellent races at Ripon when returned to 6f, notably when first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid (good to firm) in August; confirmed his liking for that course when winning there three weeks ago and needs to prove he's the same horse elsewhere. |

Prominent-racer; did well for this yard last year, winning at Thirsk in May and running several good races in defeat, notably when best of the stands' rail group in the Great St Wilfrid over C&D; he needs to leave his low-key seasonal return well behind if he is to feature today though. |
