3rd 2 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fair maiden who has been running well in handicaps this year, making the frame on four of his five starts; has the edge on experience and goes without cheekpieces worn on last three starts; should win sooner or later. |
11/4 |
|
10th 11 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
0-10 but he has regularly been placed and is running well this season, including when beaten 2l for fourth of five at Sandown (1m1f, good) four weeks ago; yard in fine form and he's got each-way claims again. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Similar type to The Joker, being a consistent maiden who ties in with Law Court on last-time running (over 1m at Newbury in first-time cheekpieces); again should give his running. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint last October and he's gone close in a couple of Listed races at York (5f, good to firm) this season, the latest three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, his form has to go to a new level if he's to win this. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Third to Dickensian over C&D in May, stern assignments in Royal Ascot Group 1s since; sole win came in Yarmouth nursery and he's still in deep waters despite this apparent drop back in grade; cheekpieces replace visor. |
12/1 |
|
12th 2 (19) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Third in Group 3 Cornwallis (5f, good) and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (5f, firm) on final two 2yo starts, and also third in Listed race at York (5f, good) last month; respectable midfield finish in King Charles III Stakes here (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday but needs a career best today. |

5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Steadily progressive in four starts, the latest when third of 11 at Windsor (1m, good to soft) in June (race has produced a couple of winners); wouldn't be sure to appreciate this longer trip on breeding, though. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three starts, best effort when a close and closing third of 11 from off the pace in novice at Nottingham (1m, good to soft; 20-1) three weeks ago; retains potential and should be placed at the least. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Similar level of form in maidens at Glorious Goodwood and Newbury, gelded prior to keeping-on tenth in big field over 1m latest; still open to improvement, albeit his ideal scene may be handicaps. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm) and fair runs since, last time finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); has won on testing ground; a possible on first try at 1m4f. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Close second here one year ago; bossed a five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) impressively this May; doing the same wasn't possible at Royal Ascot, where he wasn't at all discredited in seventh, but he was able to dictate at Newmarket three weeks ago, so what he produced to take 5l fifth of six that day wouldn't cut the mustard in today's race. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Improved form in 1m2f handicaps at the other Newmarket course on his first two starts this term, bossing a five-runner race (good to firm) impressively on second occasion; doing the same off this 8lb higher mark in 16-runner race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; 12-1) wasn't possible but he led entering straight until over 1f out and wasn't at all discredited in seventh (Princling fifth); could get run of the race this time and is one to consider. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn on the wrong side at Royal Ascot on handicap debut and was a heavily backed winner at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, when making most; he did it in good style and a 9lb rise may not stop him this afternoon; ran well on good to soft last August, unraced on softer. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Built upon 2yo promise to win big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) on reappearance and when 13th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) he was third of 15 in the far-side group; possible player. |
11/2 |
|
13th 30 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Encouraging runs behind Group-class horses last season; back from a lengthy break and a gelding operation when the workmanlike winner of a big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) that's produced a stack of winners; unexposed and respected. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) four weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term and taking record to 3-11; may have further progress in him over this trip; major player. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting. |
15/2 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Emphatic winner of handicap debut on Southwell AW (6f) in March; found Group 3 and Listed races too daunting on next two starts and he made only modest late headway into mid-division over 5f at Royal Ascot (40-1; without regular hood, as today); return to 6f should suit but the same applies to others from that race. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, good to soft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term; back on song when winning a 1m1f Listed race at Navan; doubts raised by two subsequent runs; 1 3/4l behind Cowardofthecounty in the 1m1f Meld Stakes here. |

|
3rd 6 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, good to soft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term; back on song when winning a 1m1f Listed race at Navan (Geryon promoted to second); lost a lot of ground at the start when failing to confirm form with Geryon at the Curragh last time. |
3/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, gd-sft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term, but back on song when in front of Hotazhell and Geryon in Listed contest at Navan three weeks ago; needs to improve further to beat Purview, but solid place claims if backing up that last run. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-7; showed ability in his first two starts last year, but hasn't built on it and the step up in trip made little difference when fifth of seven at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month, albeit the form of that race has worked out well; still more needed. |
20/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Initially promising but hasn't kicked on in handicaps (0-3; 7f-1m) and blinkers are removed after last time; bit to prove, though getting back on fast ground is a likely plus. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Fair maiden who wasn't discredited with fifth of nine in 1m Nottingham handicap 18 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb with blinkers added. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
2yo novice winner and an always-prominent fourth of 30 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; not so hot at Newmarket (1m) three weeks ago, which sees a tongue-tie enlisted today; his dam being a 1m4f/1m5f winner heightens interest in this new trip. |

7th 10 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Easily won Chester novice (7.5f, good to firm) last August on third and final 2yo start and reappeared with midfield finish in the Italian 2,000 Guineas, before 2l fourth of 30 on handicap debut in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); firmly in calculations now against older horses. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Always prominent when winning a pair of handicaps at Windsor (1m, good to firm); came up short in his hat-trick bid at Lingfield (1m, AW) on Tuesday but Billy Loughnane replaces a 7lb claimer and there could still be further progress in him. |
8/13 |

3rd 1 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well beaten on handicap/AW debut over C&D in April, but has suddenly taken off on turf lately with two wins at Windsor (1m, good to firm), the first under Jude Fernandes; has a 6lb penalty to carry, but still a major player if his progress can be transferred back to Polytrack. |

Came good at seventh attempt, readily making all over C&D six weeks ago; that form has been well advertised by the clear runner-up since and this fellow could still be well handicapped after a 5lb rise. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish to make a successful return to turf at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; beaten at short odds but still matched that winning RPR when runner-up back there (good to firm) a week later; freshened up since; considered. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish in his first turf run at this level when winning over C&D (good) last week; this could take more winning under a penalty (goes up the same amount in future) but he's open to improvement. |

9st 6lb |
Struggled at huge odds in his qualifying runs but was 9-4 favourite on nursery debut at Brighton (7f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and he didn't get much luck before finishing a close fourth of six; that was promising and he's a big player back up in trip. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Always behind in two maidens (6f/7f) at Glorious Goodwood, achieving two duck eggs; may do better at this level but essentially looks one for nurseries shortly. |
