20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Up-and-coming handicapper last summer when winning first two starts at this level before finishing an excellent second of 24 in the 5f handicap here (good to firm) last June; first home of the 3yos when fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last September and may do better this year; not ruled out now fitted with a tongue-tie on second run back. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Second of 24 in the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last June and he showed good speed before fading into sixth of 19 over 6f here (good) last October, when last seen; wind op since; the drop back in trip could be a positive move on his reappearance; can make a bold bid. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Classy front-running 3yo who was runner-up in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, when 6f on soft ground probably stretched his stamina; today's conditions should be ideal and he may not have reached his ceiling just yet; big player. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now. |
10/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere. |

4th 5 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount. |

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. |
9/2 |

1st 10 (16) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
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. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made a bright start to her 2yo career, winning on debut before finishing second in a York Listed race and fourth in the Queen Mary over C&D; easy win in a Naas Listed event last July (5f, yielding); beaten four times since but she ran well in Listed grade at York five weeks ago and should go well on this handicap debut. |

Runner-up in the Listed Marygate over C&D last May then ran well at Royal Ascot before a Listed win at Naas; hasn't really threatened in Group races on her three runs since, however, and may be vulnerable once more. |

Smart as 2yo but she hasn't quite hit those heights in 2025, albeit facing some tough assignments; dropping down the weights and now tried in cheekpieces but others look safer. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good to firm) last September; reappeared with fair fifth of 15 in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) in April but has failed to build on that and she needs to raise her game now back up in trip. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In the same ownership as Miss Lamai and finished just in front of that rival when third of 24 in last season's Queen Mary; unplaced in three starts this year but looks to retain all her ability, faring better than the result when sixth in a strong Listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) last month; a big run at rewarding odds can't be ruled out in this her first handicap. |

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. |
28/1 |

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. |

Won the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June and left reappearance behind when good fourth of 20 in the Dash there (5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; just as effective at 6f and can play a prominent role from an unchanged mark. |

4th 6 (16) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In 2025 she took a big step forward from her seasonal return when sweeping through late to collar Lexington Blitz in the 3yo Dash on this card; also won at Wolverhampton in July (6f, AW) off 1lb higher than today; never a threat at York last month on return to action but it's not unreasonable to expect much better today and she is sure to get a strong pace to aim at. |
12/1 |

16th 6 (22) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won the big-field 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June and landed another quality handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in July; she lacks a recent run and there is a suspicion that 6f is her optimum trip, but she'll get a strong pace to aim at today and is not ruled out off a competitive mark. |

Built on an eye-catching reappearance (over this C&D) when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) in May; only fourth to Washington Heights in Listed event at Carlisle next time but has had a break since and may well bounce back; has real possibilities if he does. |

Made favourite but lacked experience when tackling the 5f handicap here last June; better form when winning at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last September and, after a low-key reappearance at Newmarket, he impressed when winning at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) recently; 1lb well in under a penalty; looks a smart prospect. |

Lightly raced 4yo with something of an all-or-nothing profile; put everything together when bolting up at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn; might have needed the run when only ninth of 13 at Newmarket on reappearance; leading claims if building on that and cheekpieces may give him a lift. |

In good form for most of 2025, winning two 5f handicaps last spring; not quite hit those heights this time around, including from a good draw at Chester 24 days ago (met some trouble in the home straight); today's drop into a Class 4 will help and she is back against her own sex; should go well. |

Bounced back from some lesser efforts when making all and scoring comfortably from a subsequent winner at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago; the visor may have helped and although similar tactics may not be so easy in this field, he doesn't have to lead; much respected from 6lb higher. |

Did well for Stuart Williams in the second half of 2025; solid efforts on his first two runs this year before taking his form to new heights with a runaway win at Windsor (6f, good to firm); hit with an 8lb rise for that but it was a good time and there is no suggestion he was flattered; promising apprentice takes off 5lb; one to consider. |

Narrow 6f defeat at Chepstow last August but his next two runs at the trip were a failure and kept to shorter since, winning at Haydock (good to soft) in September; two respectable efforts at 5f this year (no aids latest) don't suggest this mark is ripe for plucking back at 6f, though. |

In and out for George Scott this season but not disgraced over 7f at Chelmsford (AW debut) three weeks ago; can compete off a career-low mark so would have real possibilities if revitalised by a change of stable. |

9st 5lb |
Saw off 23 rivals when winning last season's Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at the Royal meeting (C&D; good to firm); better form when pipped at Goodwood last July; this season yet to take off but she may have needed her return and then there were blindfold issues at Redcar three weeks ago; Colin Keane booked and a revival isn't out of the question but her low draw may be an issue. |

Won the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at 2025 Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); also second in a Glorious Goodwood handicap and a Beverley Listed race later in 2025; last month's Windsor reappearance may have been needed and she's back on a good mark if returning to form in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Won the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) last June and hard to knock her subsequent defeats including a near-miss at Glorious Goodwood; returns after 239 days off but she still looks feasibly treated and was a good third over C&D on her reappearance last season; dangerous. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Fitted with blinkers for the first time when making all in a 6f maiden at Dundalk in April; he has followed that with three solid placed efforts in Irish sprint handicaps; ran well in his one run on good to firm ground (as a 2yo); should give his running but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

Well handicapped on his 6f form last season, including a course win off 4lb higher, but he hasn't got it going yet this year; 5f on fast ground perhaps sharp enough and stall 1 unlikely to be a positive. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won 6f handicaps at Windsor and Ascot last summer; dropped down the weights in defeat this season but there have been glimmers of promise and ground softer than good will be of benefit; ran no sort of race at Carlisle eight days ago (in cheekpieces) but his usual blinkers are back on today; Oisin Murphy booked; interesting. |

9st 10lb |
Back-to-back 6f wins at Windsor (good to firm) and Ascot (good to soft) in 2025; has taken a while to get going this season but he shaped as if coming to the boil when sixth of 14 at Newbury (led briefly over 1f out) two weeks ago; back to his last winning mark and should be at concert pitch now. |

Led late when beating Sergeant Wilko at Thirsk last month and he had a few of today's rivals in behind when second at Chester four weeks ago; another solid effort at York a fortnight ago but he has to prove his effectiveness on AW. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third stable start and close second at Chester (7f, good) subsequently; won here in September 2024 on sole previous course visit and this in-form 4yo could again be thereabouts. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Picked off late in the 3yo Dash 12 months ago; gelded prior to his seasonal return and he has run well on both starts in 2026, following his close third at Musselburgh with an impressive win at Goodwood five weeks ago (5f, good); a 9lb rise asks a stiffer question but he is progressive. |

Outran his 100-1 odds when sixth of 24 in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm; hooded for the first time); dropped 2lb since and he's a major player in this easier company. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ripon win on 2yo debut (6f, good) and he ran creditably in a Listed race over that C&D two weeks later; neither subsequent start has been comparable and the addition of a hood isn't enough to recommend him this time. |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Impressive on last season's debut (6f, good; strong favourite); third in Listed company a fortnight later but his form dipped at Thirsk when last seen in September; gelded over the winter; should be quick enough to cope with 5f but not obviously well treated; stable also run Loom and Tuscan Point. |

Made a successful 2yo debut but he was soon in deep water and his form deteriorated; seen only twice in 2025 but he's been placed a couple of times this season including when third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's not ruled out off a dangerous mark. |

The addition of blinkers saw him take a good step forward when comfortably seeing off 17 rivals at Newbury (6f, soft) last October; absent until Derby day three weeks ago where he was never a threat; the blinkers now return and dangerous to underestimate him. |

Reserve; front-runs; superb 4-5 strike-rate on AW but his turf form isn't up to the same level, albeit soft ground wouldn't have been ideal when fifth of 15 behind Sondad at Epsom recently; up against it. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |

Record of 4-5 on AW features a hat-trick since being gelded; chance depends on whether he can transfer the form back to turf; only 1-11 in this sphere and he is 16lb higher than last attempt. |

Record on the AW reads 1211 and he was impressive when making virtually all over 6f here eight days ago; 5lb penalty and return to 5f shouldn't preclude another big performance. |
