20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has finished in front of Kalpana twice but that rival had excuses both times; far from certain to confirm the placings but he's still one of the main players on the figures back down in grade; his Group 1 form features a success and creditable second in the last two runnings of the Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin (1m4f, good); unsuited by the way the race panned out at Meydan latest start. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since finishing third in the Coronation Cup three months ago; successful several times when fresh, most recently in 1m4f Group 1 at Sha Tin last December; big player dropped back in grade and he is 2-2 on AW. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned mostly at 1m6f-2m; took his form to a new level in two attempts over 1m4f last year, winning Group 2 at Newmarket (good to soft) and Group 1 at Sha Tin (good); behind Calandagan in the Sheema Classic two months ago but isn't fully exposed at this trip. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Very smart mare who defied a penalty in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f; beat West Wind Blows by a neck) on seasonal debut, taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 2-3 and running right up to her best; strong record at Ascot features wins in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes for the last two years (soft/good) and an excellent second in the 2025 King George; avoids a Group 1 penalty in this race and has a major chance at the weights. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Had excellent campaigns in 2024 and 2025, both of which ended with Group 1 success in good style against her own sex on Champions Day at Ascot; she also started last season with a big run in an Irish Group 1 and was an excellent second in the King George at Ascot in July; wore cheekpieces last two starts; concedes 4lb to male rivals today but probably still the one to beat. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second in Group 3 contest at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) last time but this is a better race for the grade; inconsistent otherwise this term; returns to AW for first time since debut win. |
14/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Well below form on his sole run on softer than good; last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood; held up and never got into it in 16-runner Listed event at Royal Ascot next time; chance relies on that one Goodwood run. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |

Ran respectably in Group 3 events the last twice; creditable second in this race two years ago but faces a difficult task on ratings today and has never won above Listed level. |

3rd 2 (1) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) this July before his respectable, front-running third of five in Group 3 at Goodwood two weeks ago; there's a stamina query (after two attempts at 1m6f in 2022) and he may well need to show his best form for nearly two years. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; has never raced on soft and not seen on good to soft since he was a bit below his best in this race in 2023; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another four weeks ago but he probably needs to return to 2023 form if he's to be competitive today. |

9st 4lb |
Third in the 2023 French Oaks for previous yard; placed in 1m2f Group 3 events at Newcastle (AW) and the Curragh (amid traffic issues) this term, shaping as if this step back up in trip is worth exploring; could go well. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
British raider; yard is 6-26 at this venue; won a 1m2f Listed race at Compiegne (soft) on final start in France in October 2023; beaten 11.5l on debut for this stable in the Pretty Polly (1m2f, yld-sft), her only start in 2024; shaped well when a 1.75l second in a Newcastle Group 3 on return last month; interesting, especially if the ground eases. |
9/2 |

2nd 6 (5) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Third in the 2023 Prix de Diane and ended her time in France with a clearcut win in 1m2f Listed race on soft that October; well-held sixth in Group 1 Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1m2f) last June on her first run for Sir Mark Prescott and not seen since; this is her AW debut; needs a market check and she's a contender judged on those best French efforts. |

Juddmonte filly who has tons to find on her novice form over shorter trips and is seemingly in here as pacemaker for Kalpana; cheekpieces added. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Inexperience very evident in both her races, when a beaten favourite first time at Windsor and then just behind Alcarath at Kempton (again over 1m); should be a bit wiser now, she's up in trip and a tongue-tie is added. |
11/4 |

6th 8 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Failed to settle and stumbled/unbalanced when well beaten on debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; however, this half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Haskoy was sent off the 7-4 favourite and could be an entirely different proposition with the benefit of that initial experience. |
