19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown best form this season, including 5f spring win, in Listed grade at York; had wind surgery prior to good third over 6f last time; may remain competitive, provided he's as effective at Newbury. |

3rd 2 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Swept through from off the pace to win a Listed race at the Dante meeting (5f, good) here in May; also ran well over 5f here in July and he has had a wind operation since finishing down the field at Glorious Goodwood; 6f will be a new experience and he may prove vulnerable under his penalty. |

Third in the Group 3 Molecomb over C&D (good) last July and reappeared with 3yo Listed win at York (5f, good) in May; not beaten far when seventh of 13 in Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and still lightly raced, but he's down the pecking order on ratings in this line-up. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Drawn in stall 9 when making all over C&D at the May meeting; up and down since but he is well drawn, on a winning mark and won't mind what the weather does; talented apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Chester (5f, good) this spring and two of his last three defeats have come in very big fields at the major festivals; ran well to be beaten a short head in between and he shouldn't mind any easing of conditions; mark okay and could go well back down in grade. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made all at Chester this spring and always prominent when narrowly denied in a small field at Sandown latest (5f, good; second run in cheekpieces); probably worth taking on, with consistency not his forte. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Windsor Castle over C&D at last year's Royal meeting; there have been flickers of promise but essentially it has been a disappointing campaign in 2026; headgear experiment now aborted; down in the weights but others look safer. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Smart 2yo, including a Royal Ascot win (5f, good to firm); 0-5 this year but he has run some solid races, including here; gelded prior to a poor run in the Shergar Cup here four weeks ago (finished lame); tongue tied/blinkered for the first time (has run well in cheekpieces). |

Wootton Bassett colt is taking his racing well, taking his form to a new level when second in Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster last month; 15 days later not quite as effective but solid run all the same upped to 6f when 3.5l fifth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket; major player providing he handles the surface. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Started the year with two Listed wins at 5f before charging up the stands' side to snatch the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (5f, gd-fm); eclipsed in the July Cup and the Nunthorpe; confidence could not be high against that background; probably rash to rule out all the same. |
7/1 |

16th 11 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Started the year with two Listed wins at 5f before charging up the stands' side to snatch the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) from under Rayevka's nose; not the same horse in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket after (6f; had good form at the trip as a 2yo) where he wouldn't have won at 5f and was eased down; has a question mark now but he's capable of putting his stamp on this race if on song. |
8/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 3yo gelding who brings impressive stats, being 3-3 (all over 5f against his elders) this term and 3-3 over 6f; finished strongly to get up in the final strides in the 5f Group 1 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently; all bar one of his trainer's five July Cup winners have been 3yos; big player back up in distance. |

2nd 7 (2) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Listed win as a 2yo and she was successful in this grade at Ayr (5f, soft) in June too; no impact in a Goodwood Group 2 last time and vulnerable under her penalty, for all she's well drawn and will handle conditions. |
10/1 |
|
14th 14 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up in the Group 3 Molecomb (5f, good) over C&D 12 months ago and returned to form with Listed win at Ayr (5f, soft) last month; however, it's likely she'll come up short now back up in grade. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win Class 4 handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month; this 3yo may have more to offer now that things have clicked again but she looks up against it in today's line-up. |
25/1 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made all in a fillies' maiden at Sandown (5f, good) 12 months ago; not at her best in her two runs this year but she's slipped down the weights and Oisin Murphy is booked; stable won this with a 3yo in 2023; revival could be imminent. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Showed promise as a juvenile when third in a Listed contest at Sandown (5f, good) last July before winning her maiden; should be better for her reappearance run when sixth of eight back at Sandown (5f, good) and would go close at her best. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Amassed an impressive CV in her opening runs last season; won her AW maiden before landing a 5f Curragh Listed contest, and a Naas Group 3; failed to justify 8-15 odds in a Curragh Group 2 before resuming progress with a Molecomb Stakes victory at Goodwood; form tapered off in her final two Group runs; big player on ratings but lacks a run. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on softer than good; down the field in the Nunthorpe when taking on her elders last time; very productive (11121) otherwise and beat some of today's rivals in the Molecomb at Goodwood; leading form claims back against own age group. |
3/1 |
|
16 (4) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 2lb |
High-class sprinting juvenile whose sole defeat in five starts came over 6f in June; put the record straight with another improved show to win a 5f Group 3 at Goodwood under a penalty since; that wasn't the strongest of races, her main victims having marks in the 90s, but this easy track looks sure to suit her style and with the serious weight concession from her elders she has obvious claims; has been supplemented. |

Rated 84 after 15 runs for Eve Johnson Houghton; placed in Listed company last year over 5f but well held in a Sandown Group 3 when last seen in July; Keane booked for Irish and stable debut but best form at 5f and well held in two previous 6f runs. |

8th 10 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
3yo maiden who is often highly tried; seemed to run well, despite traffic issues, in the Scurry over C&D on penultimate start; however, chance of finally winning depends on the effects of new headgear. |
50/1 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Hold-up performer who is 0-13 but she's run creditably at big prices in three Listed events (5f, good) this season; now makes her belated handicap debut and has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
C&D Listed winner (good to firm) at this meeting last August and she followed up in the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster (5f, good); on a handy mark on that form but she's been a long way below that level this year. |
25/1 |

11th 15 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Three wins last year included a C&D Listed race and the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster; well held both outings this term and yet to prove she has trained on. |
25/1 |

26th 3 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Represents the same connections as 2020 winner Art Power; 3-6 as a 2yo, including the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster (5f, good); dropped away to finish seventh of ten behind Dickensian at York (5f, good) on her reappearance having forced a strong pace; should be sharper today but this will be a tough race to dominate; handicap debut. |
