18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Failed to beat a rival in Group race last time; seemed to run well in the Victoria Cup over C&D in his most recent handicap attempt but was always favourably positioned the way the race went and needs to prove he can back up the form; still on career-high mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
5yo who won three handicaps last year (including on heavy ground) and has been better than ever in such races this season, finishing second at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) then fourth of 28 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good); however, he has something to find against today's opponents. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good second at Musselburgh (7f) with reappearance under his belt but is by no means certain to go one better off 103 in this deep field; has gained all handicap wins off marks in in the high-90s and still needs to prove he can break the triple-digit barrier. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Best on good or quicker ground; has progressed as a 4yo, proving a strong finisher over the straight 1m here when winning the Kensington Palace (good to firm; just her second run at the distance) in June; ran flat when returned to 7f in July but this looks more her trip now; can go well. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Won on the other Newmarket course in May (7f, good) and bounced back from lesser run at Epsom to win the 23-runner Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; this progressive 4yo holds strong claims up 6lb. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 15 but she has run some fine races in that period, not least when beaten less than a length into third of six in the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last August (entered again this year); respected on these terms and Jamie Spencer knows her well; still holds a Sussex Stakes entry. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Smart hold-up mare who sometimes hits traffic; matched previous best when second in a Newmarket handicap on her April return and latest fourth of six behind Blue Bolt in Goodwood Listed event (also 1m, good) was a solid effort; stall 1 doesn't make life easy but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see her appear on the scene late if able to pick her way through. |

9st 8lb |
He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |

3rd 5 (7) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |

He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good fifth in this race last year but was in a progressive vein of form at the time; some inconsistency has crept in and he finished last (admittedly lost a shoe) in the Spring Cup at Newbury most recently, failing to back up the form of his narrow success in the Lincoln on reappearance. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Goes well in a big field over a straight 1m; beaten a neck in this race last year (good ground) and made a winning return in the Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft; beat Rogue Diplomat a nose) three weeks ago; should be in the thick of things again off a 4lb higher mark. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Close fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last June and close third next time, again at Ascot (1m, good to firm); has shown promise on soft ground; not at the top of his game on his final two outings last term but has an each-way shout if back to his best on this reappearance. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Similar type to Cerulean Bay in that he ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup (fourth) last time but is getting little help from the assessor, having proved largely consistent since his last win; solid contender all the same. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner at Ascot; hindered by trouble in the Spring Cup on reappearance and ran creditably kept to Newbury last time; far from disgraced when seventh in this contest last year but has a stiffer mark this time and his ceiling has seemingly been reached already. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Did well on the AW in his younger days (112112) including a win over C&D, but not seen on an artificial surface since April 2023; showed a bit more when fifth of eight at Haydock (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago and is an interesting contender back on Polytrack; stable also runs Tempus. |

Won in a big field at York (1m, good to firm) last August and he's unexposed at today's trip, which could suit; best run of this light campaign came when fourth at Ascot last month but he needs something extra today. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Best form when finishing strongly to lead close home at York (1m, good to firm) last August; just two runs this year, following a fair reappearance with a never-sighted run at Goodwood (1m1f) last week; has cheekpieces fitted now but he remains with potential and this stiff test can suit. |

Ran well when fifth here (good to firm) last August and won competitive 3yo handicap at York (1m, good to firm) later that month; fifth of 12 on return at Sandown (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago and could be suited by this extra furlong; unraced on softer than good; retains potential for top yard. |

2nd 2 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five AW wins at 1m and 7f; modest strike-rate of 1-20 on turf but he's often run well in difficult races, including in one run here (hampered); well treated now but he hasn't looked in great form back on turf of late; most of best form on good or quicker, acts on good to soft. |

10st 2lb |
Two wins at Goodwood last autumn and admirably consistent in defeat this season, going close in a big field over C&D (good) then finishing fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; second of 20 in group); there is every chance that he will be bang there. |

Completed a Goodwood double during his 2025 campaign; good second in notable handicap at the York Dante festival (1m, good) most recently, going down by only a neck; he's paying the price for his consistency, however, with the assessor failing to relent. |
