17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good second (off 20lb lower) in the Britannia at this meeting two years ago but he was progressive at the time, whereas his form has dipped in last two outings (normally a consistent sort, including at Group level); 2-2 at the Curragh compared to only 1-16 elsewhere; wears first-time headgear. |
50/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Form dipped last time when he raced too freely; otherwise a broadly consistent sort who may rebound, provided he settles better; has Group form and can't be dismissed from a ratings perspective but may be more interesting when back at the Curragh where he's 2-2 (only 1-15 elsewhere). |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a valuable Curragh handicap last May and impressed in a Listed win there (also 1m, good) the following month; again had Ryan Moore riding when he looked a shade unlucky in York Group 3 (1m1f, good to firm) in August; finished last year with good efforts in Group 2s at Leopardstown and Longchamp; back in that sort of form when close fifth in Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) 17 days ago and he's a likely player with Moore retaking the reins. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-11 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; accelerating down the weights, which gives him a chance on this year's form even, but others are more convincing. |
12/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-10 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; edging down the weights but the jockey here on penultimate start reported that he hung badly; others are more convincing. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-9 for this yard after beating one home on his return to 1m2f at Windsor 18 days ago; on the plus side, this bigger field might be more to his liking and in two previous visits to Sandown he's finished first and third; no surprise if he went well under Oisin Murphy, under whom he was fourth in last year's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (on soft). |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |

On a reduced mark and this two-time C&D scorer can't have the ground soft enough; not at his best at Goodwood on Saturday. |

8th 12 (9) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Well suited by ground softer than good; six-time winner at Goodwood and had an excuse (unsuitable conditions) in most recent course start; doesn't have the prettiest form figures this term but he has slipped to a very attractive mark; record in this race reads 3100. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Defied a 5lb lower mark in the corresponding race 12 months ago; many good runs in defeat since then, including his fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup, and he is unlikely to be too far away. |

9th 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Currently in a consistent vein of form that ties him in with some of today's opponents; creditable third to Indalo at Sandown most recently; Goodwood record comprises a couple of second-place finishes at this meeting, including in this race last year; solid claims. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack. |

13th 9 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |

Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Most of his wins have been at 1m but he swooped late on to score over 1m3f in January and led 1f out when asserting in tidy style over 1m4f early this month, both at this track; back up another 5lb and he's a 7yo, but peak form (October 2024) was a little better still and he's now 7-12 at Kempton; on the shortlist. |

Well beaten in the Lincoln in March on sole outing this term (1m, good to soft) but he was runner-up in two major handicaps (both 1m on soft) during a light campaign last season and yesterday's rain is a major positive for his claims; capable of a big performance. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

8th 4 (18) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Third of 15 for Richard Hughes in the Golden Mile here last August when 5lb higher; hasn't hit the same heights since, most recently fifth of nine at Redcar when the 6-4 favourite; however, he's on a dangerous mark and is not written off; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting. |
11/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Very useful for Richard Hughes, including third in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, soft) on last year's reappearance; failed to back that up in two subsequent outings in 2025 but added to his solid record fresh when fourth on 1m Newmarket return for new yard 23 days ago; classy but needs to show he can still string good efforts together now. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on his best form and some of that has been here, although not on his latest visit in July when only eighth; however, he's one of a few in here who would appreciate softening ground and firmly enters the reckoning. |

8th 2 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Has produced his peak RPR of 102 in both C&D attempts, including a win off 3lb higher in this race last year; Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 5lb; interesting returned to this scenario. |

All British wins have been over 1m at York and he's unraced on the AW; some respectable shows in better handicaps this year but not the last twice; bit risky. |

5 (6) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three wins in Britain have all come over 1m at York but he is fully effective at other tracks and he wasn't beaten far in his one Sandown run back in June 2022 (1m, good to firm); rain won't bother him and he's slipped to a dangerous mark but he will need a good pace to aim at back at 7f; stable have won the last two runnings. |
7/1 |

Scored just once in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but on the last three occasions it was over 1m in the summer at York and in 2022 it was in this race; 14th and 13th in the last two runnings of it, with reappearance the pick of his mixed record this season, but he's much too well handicapped to be ignored. |

Record is only 1-10, the success in 2yo maiden; has bits of useful form, including at Group level, but his handicap record is rather unconvincing; chance of doubling his tally partly depends on the effects of two physical tweaks (had gelding/wind operations since last run). |

Has contested the Lincoln, Victoria Cup and Golden Mile this year, looking unlucky in first two and blowing the start in last-named; very dangerous if everything clicks, although his stamina for this longer trip has to be taken on trust (well held on both previous attempts at 1m1f/1m2f). |

12th 17 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Comes with a degree of risk as he's often slowly away and needs the cards to drop right; however, form this term includes placed efforts in two major handicaps, while Goodwood record comprises a creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago and success next time; this may be the day to catch him, with renowned hold-up wizard Jamie Spencer up for first time. |

Two wins in last season's 2yo campaign; reappeared with close third in the Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m) in May, a race that hasn't really worked out; ran okay when 11th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); versatile ground-wise; improvement is possible but necessary in this hot race. |

Has handled good to firm and the mud; consistent last season until his heavy defeat in a Group 3; usually races prominently but had to be dropped in from a bad draw in the Silver Bowl at Haydock, so all things considered he did well to finish only a length off Teroomm; enters calculations with a talented claimer secured. |

A regular in notable handicaps, bagging three (over 1m) during his progressive period last term and proving resurgent when close second to Erzindjan at Newmarket (1m1f) latest start; first home in the unfavoured group in the Britannia at this meeting 12 months ago; looks set to go well. |

Below par on his last two 3yo starts but he'd previously won competitive 1m events at Newmarket and York (both good to firm) in the summer, and he did well to prevail at York after having to wait for a run; only 3lb higher here and he'll be a major player if ready to roll after six months off. |
