16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has won on good to soft but her latest three wins, at about 1m, came on good to firm; on a highish mark now but off since September and past evidence suggests she'll come on for the run. |
14/1 |
|
2 (11) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Handles most ground and she's tactically versatile; has been generally reliable this season and she won in a tight finish at Windsor (1m) in August before a creditable third at York (1m1f) last month; still looks on a workable mark and she's respected with cheekpieces reapplied. |
11/2 |
|
1 (1) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
It was a deep handicap she contested at Goodwood and in solid form otherwise, winning for a fourth time by a short-head at Windsor 24 days ago (1m, good to firm); clear claims off 2lb higher if in similar form here. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
In top form at the end of last season but this 8yo hasn't performed at the same level on his three outings this year and needs to raise his game. |
33/1 |
|
11th 25 (17) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has plenty of good form at Ascot and his most recent course effort (when bidding for a second win in the Victoria Cup) can be excused as the race didn't pan out favourably for him; however, he has a difficult-looking mark to overcome in this first Royal Ascot attempt. |
22/1 |
|
6th 1 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Third in this last year and improved form later in the season, finishing his campaign in fine form (on various ground); down the field at Ascot on recent return but he was hampered and may have needed the run; not discounted. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |
3/1 |
|
9th 17 (16) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft ground; better than ever this season, winning at Doncaster (good to soft) and following up at Southwell (again 7f, AW); solid second to Sterling Knight (1m, good) last time but he'll need more from the same mark. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |
14/1 |
|
10th 12 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Tough sort but has done his winning this year in Class 4, including at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time when taking record to 8-55; faces a tougher task back up two grades. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in three of his four starts here, including when third in this race last year; after a poor start to this term he showed more three weeks ago and has dropped 4lb since; not ruled out despite the losing run racking up. |
7/1 |
|
9th 9 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Second in this two years ago and often ran well last season; on a competitive mark on his best form but beaten on his last 20 starts and he's struggled on both outings this term. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
A dual C&D winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in the right direction with fifth of nine over C&D ten days ago; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces here and not out of things. |
7/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D and is 5lb lower than for the latest a year ago; well beaten in his last two visits, though, so has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D (from 11 visits to Pontefract) and latest was off 3lb higher last July; he therefore cannot be comfortably dismissed despite being well held on all three starts (two here) this term. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has seven AW wins to his name, the latest at Kempton (7f) in May, but he's 0-14 on turf; solid fourth in this race last year, however, and latest sixth of 14 (1m, AW; hampered) suggests he can play a part again. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Seven AW wins, the latest on his seasonal return last month when getting the better of I'm Working On It (7f); midfield on turf latest; returning to AW is in his favour but all his wins have come at 7f (0-10 at 1m+) and he could prove vulnerable to stronger stayers today. |
9/1 |
|
8th 11 (16) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Went very close in this last year (good) and, having ended 2025 with a win at Kempton (7f, AW), he reappeared with another there (7f) last month; he can be bang there if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground). |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |
9/2 |
|
4th 10 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins on turf have been on the Newmarket July course (7f/1m) but he has been placed in two of his three starts over this C&D, including on soft; never featured on his reappearance 25 days ago and needs to build on that. |
16/1 |
|
10th 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent last term but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last June and he kept on well for third over 7f here (good) in September; possible player if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |
