11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Useful 2yo, winning the Windsor Castle over C&D last June and running creditably in Group 2 company on a couple of occasions; two sound efforts this year, including in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (5f, good) eight days ago; this test should suit and he's a possible. |

3rd 1 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful and broadly consistent sprinter whose Listed/Group form includes a 2yo win at Royal Ascot; faced a stiffer task in the Commonwealth Cup back there last time; has earned top weight on handicap debut and looks one of the main players; wears first-time headgear. |
7/2 |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 since winning the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes here 12 months ago (5f, good to firm) and couldn't threaten Song Of The Clyde and Albert Einstein when third in Listed race at Newbury (6f, good) on reappearance; however, he was held up in a race in which the first two were in front throughout, and today's big field and stiff finish may well see him to better effect. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Didn't really build on a good start for Richard Hannon and he took a couple of goes to warm up for this yard; much better last time, however, when second of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago; now he needs to kick on from that. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came for Richard Hannon at Newmarket (6f, good) last May; struggled on his last few starts for that stable and he's not threatened in his two outings since joining this yard; dropped another 3lb. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won last May/June on first two starts and some creditable runs since, but he's finished held at Newmarket on both outings this spring (7f, good/good to firm), including behind stablemate Talk Of New York; others preferred. |
40/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two starts last May/June then fifth in a pair of Group 2 races; twice placed at Meydan early this year but beaten about 6l when third of five in conditions race over this C&D (good) recently and Cerro Blanco may well be the yard's chief hope under Billy Loughnane. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Brings useful 6f form that includes a success in the Woodcote as a 2yo and two placed efforts, since a gelding operation, at Meydan this year; a reasonably solid contender over this new trip, albeit William Buick prefers stablemate Talk Of New York. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since narrowly justifying favouritism in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) ten weeks ago; not many winners have come out of that race since but he's open to progress all the same. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten five times since his debut win but has performed creditably when highly tried and being carried left by an errant rival did him no favours in the Super Sprint (had top weight); returning to 6f is a major positive and his stable has a great record in this race. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
0-4 since debut win (5f, good) but form is on an upward curve, and he ran well facing a stiff task when fifth of seven in Group 2 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last week; will need another personal best under top weight. |
14/1 |

4 (4) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable seventh in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but is now 0-3 since debut win and looking a touch exposed, at least over sprint trips; it remains to be seen whether this longer distance helps. |

4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Windsor and then ran creditably in the Woodcote at Epsom (again at 6f, good to soft); had 97 days off prior to finishing down the field in a sales race at Doncaster (extended 6f) and not overly appealing on the back of that. |
50/1 |
|
16 (10) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Absent since running creditably in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft) three months ago but is the sole runner for a trainer who landed this prize in 2019 and 2021; still unexposed and looks interesting. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
From the first crop of a sire who was a smart performer for this yard; didn't have much to spare at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time but may build on that success and show further improvement. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice as a 2yo, notably a Listed success over C&D last August; life has been tougher since but both this year's runs have been creditable; proven course form and the stands' rail draw will count for plenty and she's one to consider. |
6/1 |

5th 9 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon last August (6f, good; modest form for the grade); reappeared with 2l fourth of seven against males in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago and she has an each-way chance if building on that. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon (6f, good) last August; that was relatively modest form for the grade and she needs to prove she's capable off this sort of mark, but is not discounted. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Encouraging return when third of ten in a C&D maiden in May and although only third of four at Windsor (6f, good to firm) three weeks later, the winner and fourth have won since; opening mark is no gift but it's still early days and he should have more to offer. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Well held in the Woodcote in sole 2yo start, then had gelding operation; fared better dropped in grade at Kempton (6f, AW) on reappearance, finishing third; could go well. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; solid efforts twice since and she is well drawn to attack; should put up a bold show back down in class. |
3/1 |

6th 14 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Held on gamely at Beverley to add to her AW wins; respectable sixth to Naana's Shadow at Epsom since, albeit without showing any further progress; has perhaps reached her ceiling. |
16/1 |
|
6th 14 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Two AW wins at 5f/6f this spring; met her match in Call Margot at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but showed her fighting spirit when refusing to give up her lead back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to soft) since; much bigger question here, up 4lb in a better race on a very different track. |
