2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner of the Group 3 Bengough over C&D at this meeting, including last year; it's generally been tough going for him in 2026 but he showed he's still capable off this mark on his day when fourth of 21 in the Portland at Doncaster (good) three weeks ago. |

4th 7 (21) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won this race in 2023 (soft ground) off a 9lb higher mark; it's generally been tough going for him this year but he retains ability and it doesn't require a huge leap of faith to see him go close; he could do with being more alert at the stalls though. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Money-spinner for connections down the years; recent efforts have suggested he retains a good deal of his ability and his handicap mark is easing; beaten only 3l in a 7f Group 1 at this meeting 12 months ago; each-way shout. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
A fixture in top sprint handicaps for a number of years and he has finished second in the last two renewals of this race; has a much lower mark this time around and his latest York fourth was a solid effort; unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
4th 16 (6) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |

Fine servant to connections down the years; retains ability but he wasn't at his best here last month and younger rivals may have his measure. |

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 |
|
9 (4) |
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 |

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. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
One win from seven starts in 2025, making rather heavy weather of a Listed Musselburgh race (7f, good; odds-on) in June; looks up against it pitting her wits against 6f specialists on rare run at this trip; cheekpieces on. |
14/1 |
|
6th 9 (13) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
First past the post in the Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood last July (7f, good to firm; demoted due to interference); not quite at her best when fifth in that same race last time but she raced freely; has shown promise on good to soft ground; possible player if settling better than last time. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
A bit disappointing when favourite at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last time, even allowing for her wide draw; however, she was in top form previously, going close in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) then winning a Listed race at Musselburgh (7f, good), and she was first past the post in this last year (demoted due to interference); major player if bouncing back to her best. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Teak-tough effort to take this race on soft ground 12 months ago; in good form in Dubai in February and his Ascot fourth (5f, good to firm) in July was a career-best RPR; two runs at Glorious Goodwood were respectable and he is 3lb lower than when midfield in the Stewards' Cup; new blinkers replace usual visor; sure to be primed for a bold bid. |
20/1 |
|
15th 7 (24) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Finished fourth behind stablemate Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 8lb lower and enjoyed his finest hour when making most to win the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) last September; successful in Dubai early in the year and although his results have been mixed since returning to Britain, he retains plenty of ability; down the field over 5f here on Tuesday when a change of tactics failed to bear fruit; better can be expected today. |
25/1 |
|
14th 2 (17) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made all in last season's Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) and competes off the same mark here after taking Toby Moore's claim into account; won over 5f at Meydan during the winter and gave it a good shot last time at Ascot (5f); finished fourth in last year's Stewards' Cup so handles this track; respected. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won two handicaps in row last summer (7f/6f, soft/good) but not at the same level in the autumn and she finished last at 80-1 in a Listed race at York (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago on her sole outing this term. |
40/1 |

9th 8 (6) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Beat Double Rush when winning the Scottish Stewards' Cup at Hamilton (6f, good) last summer; beaten favourite in the Ayr Silver Cup 12 months ago and ended the year with modest efforts in Group 3/Listed company; makes her belated seasonal return in a warm race and she has plenty to find. |
50/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Kept taking steps forward, most recently when a cosy winner at Hamilton (6f, good; has won on heavy) in July so a hefty defeat as favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup since was a blow; perhaps fitting cheekpieces will help, perhaps not; up against it on these terms either way. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
12-time winner, including 2024 edition of this race; has a bit to prove after two down-the-field finishes but faced tough task in Group 1 July Cup here last time and he looked as good as ever when creditable third in Group 3 on Rowley Mile here (6f, good) in April; in the shake-up if back on song. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner, most recently when sent over to Qatar in February, but his form has regressed since and this is a difficult task even if a revival materialises; gained his C&D wins at handicap/Listed level; yet to score above Group 3. |
33/1 |
|
11th 11 (13) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has made up into a smart 6f/7f performer this season, cosily winning Listed race at Newmarket (6f, good) in August and running well when second in C&D Group 3 (good to firm; Division and Jasour behind) last month; reliable type with each-way hopes. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won C&D handicap in 2025; has some scope at this level, given his good sixth of 11 in Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; slightly hampered when just behind Division); made all in a Listed race over that C&D last time; dangerous with cheekpieces replacing blinkers. |
100/30 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
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. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close to a career best when winning over 6f here (Class 3; 2-1 favourite; from 3lb lower) over Christmas; free and a beaten favourite twice since, so will need to drop the anchor if to make his presence felt over today's longer trip; others make more appeal. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a gamble over C&D in December, his first run after a gelding operation; only third off this mark at Kempton last time where he was hamstrung by a refusal to settle; still lurks on an interesting mark and he is one to take seriously, even with the stable on a losing run of 25. |
