22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Performed well twice over C&D last term but had the run of the race when belying his 33-1 odds for neck success at Listed level in September (good to soft) and looks no certainty to defy a 3lb penalty back here, unless things again fall his way. |

5th 3 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has raced as far as 2m1f in 2024 and never shorter than 1m2f; third at last year's Royal Ascot came over 1m4f but he broke a losing sequence when diverted from top handicaps to a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood last September; the prospect of 1m now doesn't seem so ridiculous but a career best is needed. |

1st 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
On a two-year losing spell and is 0-6 for current yard; still capable of very useful form, having been placed in handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood this summer; however, this seems a harder task. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Group 1 Futurity winner (on heavy ground) on this weekend as a 2yo; smart form on his day in a mixed record since, this season's plus points being his close second to Al Aasy in April and the narrow defeat when finishing strongly in Listed race at Goodwood last time (first run as a gelding); they were over 1m2f but last season's best efforts were at 1m4f and 1m5f; player if this is another of his good days. |

2nd 1 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |

Group 1 winner (on heavy ground) as a 2yo; fell short of Classic standard last term but bagged Group 3 honours and ran well at that level on penultimate start (1m2f, good; at Sandown); gelded since facing a stiffer task in the Coronation Cup; leading player on ratings. |

3rd 6 (6) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Rose through the ranks last season, winning back-to-back handicaps at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) and Sandown (1m2f, soft); took the next step forward when landing Group 3 honours at Sandown (1m2f, good) on seasonal return (a race commonly won by high-class performers); enters the big league now but further improvement is by no means ruled out for a four-year-old having just his eighth start. |

1st 4 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten favourite in Listed race at Goodwood on last appearance but was far from disgraced, especially as he could have done with a stronger pace; progressive otherwise and landed a notable handicap at Newbury (good to firm) prior to following up over C&D (soft); remains of major interest. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 0-5 since debut win (Wood Ditton) but he's useful and ran creditably in sole C&D attempt, namely fourth to Naqeeb in Listed event; could go well with Chester (Group 2) reappearance under his belt. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Highly tried after his winning Newmarket debut in April last year and ran well on a couple of occasions, as when beaten a neck in the Dee Stakes over C&D (good); has a bit to find to mix it with the majority of these, though. |
25/1 |

4th 7 (11) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |

Absent since heavy defeat in Group 3 at Royal Ascot; has otherwise shown highly notable promise, namely a success in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m) and close second in the Dee Stakes at Chester (1m2f Listed); may still have more to offer. |

Ended last season with a couple of soft-ground wins, including edging out Peace Man in this; back to near best when fourth off top weight in warm Glorious Goodwood handicap (good) and not disgraced when fifth in Longchamp Group 3 and Goodwood Listed event since; one of two solid contenders for connections. |

On the up when a Group 3 winner at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) in April 2024 but absent for 12 months subsequently and hasn't hit the same heights on his return; latest Goodwood Listed race sixth (Bolster fifth) was a bit better but will need to step up again. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
2-3 as 2yo, wins coming in a soft-ground novice at Leicester and with a strong-staying performance in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft); made a belated reappearance in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft; 11-2) one month ago and although Ancient Wisdom finished about 3l ahead, the way this 3yo kept on from off the pace gave encouragement; there's stamina and class on the dam's side. |
6/1 |

7th 10 (9) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Absent since winning the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft; Group 3) last October, taking form figures to 211; promising contender who could have plenty of further improvement in him, assuming all is well; interesting on belated reappearance. |
8/1 |

1st 5 (7) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |

Came from off the pace to finish a clear second in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) in July; on the strength of that he was 4-9 for 11-runner novice at Leicester (7f, soft) two months later, having to work hard but looking better the further he went and scoring in clearcut style; clear potential in those performances, including for this longer trip. |

Edged out by Bolster in this race on soft ground 12 months ago; below that level in three outings this year, although he might have needed it after a break when behind Bolster and Okeechobee at Goodwood latest; first-time cheekpieces go on. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
7yo who's spent the vast majority of his career in Group or Listed races and this time last year he was fifth on this card in the Group 1 Lockinge; only his second handicap when, like so many others, he met traffic problems in the Spring Cup over C&D (28-1) four weeks ago; Rossa Ryan gets back on board and they are not totally dismissed. |
20/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Pretty consistent in Listed/Group races in 2025 without performing to his very best; losing sequence now stands at 18 and he reappears after seven months off in his first handicap since July 2022; cheekpieces left off and others preferred. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |

Retains plenty of ability and finished nicely for respectable effort in 1m Group 3 at Haydock most recently; going back up in trip looks a positive but his long losing sequence remains a negative. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Her last three wins have come here (good/good to firm) and the latest was over C&D in August; seems versatile ground-wise; outclassed in C&D Listed race last time and could play a leading role back in a handicap. |
8/1 |
|
10th 8 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Successful off a mark of 70 in C&D handicap on penultimate start, taking Goodwood record to 3-4; return to this venue is a plus but she has easily the worst chance at the weights upped in class. |

Has a few useful pieces of form but is 0-8 since debut success and never landed a blow returned to handicap level most recently (1m); chance largely depends on how well she responds to change of headgear. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

11th 6 (4) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |

0-6 since debut win in 2023 but some strong handicap form, finishing second at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) last October and occupying the same position behind Supermodel on last month's reappearance at Nottingham (1m, good); could have more to offer now back up in trip and she's in calculations. |
