20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Uncharacteristically below par at Ascot recently but was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup; he's run really well in defeat under Danny Tudhope in some hot handicaps this year and was second in this last season (good to firm); versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with a big performance. |
16/1 |

9th 1 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Finished second behind Ebt's Guard in this race 12 months ago when rated 14lb lower; he has earned his lofty rating since then, winning twice at Goodwood last autumn and recording a career-best RPR when second of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood eight days ago; another big run anticipated. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Blew his chance at the start in most recent handicap attempt but generally consistent otherwise in the last year and ties in with several of today's rivals on Royal Hunt Cup form; 2-2 at Goodwood and looks interesting back here despite remaining on a career-high mark. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Useful handicapper, runner-up in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July; however, well beaten at Ascot since and now faces a much higher calibre of opposition. |
33/1 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Admirably consistent in defeat this term and he was a close second to Aalto in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; races off the same mark today (due a 2lb rise) and could again be thereabouts. |
13/2 |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
He's added two wins at about 1m (good and good to firm) this year and wasn't seen to best advantage at Goodwood on Sunday, unable to get a clear run until the birds ahead had flown; capable of better on this quick return. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Raised only 2lb for his wins at Nottingham in May and Newmarket last time, so looks likely to remain competitive, especially as he's a dual Goodwood scorer. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His wins have come on good or heavy ground but he's effective on good to firm; has been and up down since his win at Glorious Goodwood last summer but he scored at Nottingham (8.3f) in May and backed that up with a creditable fifth in a big field at Epsom the following month; returns after a short break but he could go well on this drop back in grade. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Off a good mark he wore down a subsequent winner at Ayr (1m, good) and getting back on softer ground is a plus; raised just 3lb and he's on the shortlist; stays this far. |
10/1 |

1st 1 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and some of that has been here, although not on his latest visit in July when only eighth; however, he's one of a few in here who would appreciate softening ground and firmly enters the reckoning. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has produced his peak RPR of 102 in both C&D attempts, including a win off 3lb higher in this race last year; Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 5lb; interesting returned to this scenario. |

9st 10lb |
Kept on for third at Epsom (7f, good) in August and 6l second at Sandown (7f, soft) last time behind an improved winner; the step back up in trip could be a plus (he ran well over 1m1f at Meydan in February); chance. |

2 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Useful at two and three when trained by Richard Fahey; unable to win in the Middle East last winter but he ran his best race for a while when third of nine in a 7f handicap (good) at Epsom 18 days ago, plugging on having been outpaced in the straight; today's more conventional track should suit and he'll be fine on good to soft (unraced on slower). |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Short-headed in 3yo Listed race over C&D last May and he ran some good races in defeat in Qatar and UAE between last November and this March; however, he returned to Britain with a 9l defeat at York last month and needs to leave that form well behind; cheekpieces reapplied. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner; cheekpieces applied for final three races and after two thirds (1m) he got no luck in running at Chester; now having first run for Tom Ward and wouldn't rule out. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D last autumn; took a while to get going this season but he's been placed at with cheekpieces added in his last two runs (1m, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

9st 6lb |
Won a nursery here at last year's Glorious meeting (7f, good to firm) and back on the scoresheet at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in August; fifth of 13 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) since and this 3yo could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; unraced on slow ground. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Proved resurgent with success on the July course (1m, good to firm) last time, albeit off 3lb lower and with rider taking off 5lb; this looks a harder task but he's had a light campaign and may have more to offer. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field (beaten 8l) in the Britannia on his only previous attempt at 1m; this season's form figures are a tad misleading as he's not been running badly, including last time in a deep 7f handicap at Goodwood; only 4lb higher than for his nursery win and Jack Dace takes off 5lb; could be interesting. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in February and soft ground and the lack of a recent run were probably against him at Yarmouth last month, when the visor was absent (back on today); however, he was well beaten and it's hard to be optimistic on the back of that. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |

Promising start for this yard when beaten 3l at Meydan in January before winning an Abu Dhabi handicap (1m, good) with more in hand than the winning margin; respectable fifth back at Meydan in February but below that form at that track the following month; first start for 194 days and the market may help to assess his prospects. |
