13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steps up further in class but he has progressive York form and brings impressive stats, being 3-4 over C&D (gained last win cosily in good-ground Listed race) and 4-9 in headgear, which is reapplied with Newmarket reappearance under his belt; has a better chance than bare ratings suggest. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has form on the Newmarket tracks but recorded last three wins at York, including when beating Crestofdistinction with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests in Listed grade on most recent appearance; likely to be more interesting when back at that venue. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Produced peak performance over C&D, namely close second to Elmonjed in Listed event; however, faces a stiffer assignment in this higher grade and his reappearance effort (heavy defeat in Newmarket Group 3) hardly bodes well. |
33/1 |
|
13th 3 (10) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-5 on turf compared to 2-3 on AW; admittedly registered his peak RPR in this sphere when second Elmonjed in York Listed contest (6f) on penultimate appearance; however, needs an even bigger effort to go one better in this field. |

3yo British raider beaten a head on first try in stakes company in a listed race at York three weeks ago (6f, good); seemed to handle soft on debut so should be fine if the ground eases; not discounted. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to win this season but took his form to a new level when fitted with blinkers for last two runs, looking unlucky not to finish closer than sixth in C&D Group 1 July Cup before running on well for second in 7f Newbury Group 2 (also good to firm) last Saturday; eased in grade today; the one to beat. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Usually races at 6f nowadays but probably just as effective at 7f; seemed to excel himself in first-time blinkers when sixth of 11 in Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (good to firm; 80-1) five weeks ago; not ruled out if repeating that form. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Joint-favourite with Almeraq in Salisbury Listed race last time but underperformed; bottom of this pack on ratings and accordingly faces a much stiffer assignment than when winning a handicap at this meeting last year; blinkers added. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went very close in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May and comfortably made all in Listed race at Newmarket last month (6f, good to firm; Elmonjed second); carries a 3lb penalty today but has leading claims nevertheless at a track where he has plenty of strong form. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Had a fine 2024 campaign once blinkers were added, winning two Newbury handicaps then blitzing his rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup; 0-4 this year but he has been running with great credit in good company; drops into Listed company and his record of 211 over C&D features a notable 3yo handicap win; looks sure to go well. |
3/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Last season's Ayr Gold Cup winner who has returned in good nick, going down by only a short head in a 6f Group 2 at the Curragh (good) five weeks ago; also had some good 7f form last year. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Record is 4-19; went close in competitive race at York in July; flattered by the winning margin at Haydock (7f, good) last time but may remain competitive back up 4lb; peak mark was higher. |

1st 2 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time 7f turf winner who was close to career-best form when second of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) last month but he weakened to finish well adrift of Crimson Spirit at Goodwood last week. |
15/2 |
|
16th 5 (16) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time 7f turf winner who finished eighth of 16 in the 3yo handicap over C&D at this meeting last year for James Owen; had been gelded before finishing down the field in first two starts for this yard but was close to career-best form when second of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that was a bunch finish but 1lb nudge still looks reasonable; considered despite tricky stall. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Well-bred filly (a half-sister to the 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean) who looked a smart prospect when winning 5f handicap at Sandown (5f, good; shaped well on soft) in July; has not gone on as anticipated in 6f Listed races since, and she's on a retrieval mission here. |
16/1 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Merely fifth of nine in Listed race at Chester last month but she may not have been suited by the track and this lightly raced 3yo had shown glimpses of serious promise previously; cost 1,000,000gns as a foal and is a half-sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean; could yet make her mark at this level. |
8/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Had no luck when favourite for the Queen Mary on final start in truncated 2yo campaign; recorded a useful handicap win at Sandown (again over 5f; good) last month on seasonal debut and, having raced just four times, looks open to further improvement; ready for a crack at 6f; respected. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner (6f) on AW; showed himself to be smart on turf too with a 7f handicap win at Newmarket last month; wouldn't judge him harshly on his Bunbury Cup defeat five weeks ago, racing away from the main action and still in front 1f out; 4lb lower today and he looks a big player for last year's winning connections. |
8/1 |

10th 1 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Respectable fifth in this year's Victoria Cup; prevailed last Saturday to take C&D record to 2-2 and overall strike-rate to 7-23; incurs 6lb penalty but Conor Whiteley takes off a useful 5lb; major player. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive colt who got up on the line in a very tight finish to the 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently, taking record in completed starts to 4-6 and confirming that a heavy fall last September has not left a long-lasting mark; an emerging force in the sprinting division and he's from the family of a July Cup winner (Dream Ahead); major contender. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Very impressive on handicap debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July before a nasty fall at York, and it was a welcome sight when he reappeared with a Listed win at Salisbury (6f, good); below par on sole run on fast ground and others have more substance to their form, but he's an exciting prospect who could still have plenty more to offer for his top stable. |
25/1 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Promising in 6f novice events, winning at Yarmouth on second occasion (soft ground), but it was his runaway Ayr win last July that stamped him as a potential top notcher; still in contention for a York Listed event when clipping heels and taking an horrific fall in September; he remains a sprinter of considerable interest but having a positive experience back on the racecourse may be the number one priority today. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Reappeared with a useful Listed win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May but has been found wanting in Group 3s since and looks best watched after being brought down in a bad accident at York last month. |
22/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Improved form when Listed winner against her own sex at Newmarket (6f, good) and that form has been firmly boosted by the clear runner-up Frost At Dawn; however, two lesser performances have followed in Group 3s at Haydock and here and she needs a much bigger run today. |
16/1 |
|
4 (1) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Took a good step forward when winning a 6f Listed event at Newmarket in May; never a threat in a 7f Group 3 at Haydock since and likely vulnerable to the 3yos. |
