15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Third on her first two runs this season (1m6f/1m4f, good to soft/good) and a case can be made on that form but down the field on her last three outings and she needs to get back on track now back down in trip. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
In top form at start of season and kept on for Listed third at Goodwood (1m4f, good) in May; versatile ground-wise; however, she's finished down the field in handicaps on last two starts and has to turn things around. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Five turf wins but has done most of his winning on the AW; surprising to see blinkers back on having won in a visor at Chester last month and then beaten only 4l in a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood; if that doesn't backfire then has possibilities. |
10/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Took form to a new level on AW early this year, which he's not repeated but winning at Chester (1m2f, good) 18 days ago was a return to his best turf form; back up 3lb today, well held in this race two years ago (his only handicap here) and he also has more to prove on ground firmer than good. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
His last two wins came in this race in 2022 (soft) and 2023 (heavy), when trained by George Boughey; he may prefer deeper ground than he'll get today but he ran well when third of nine at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and the promising Alexandra Egan removes a useful 7lb; respected. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Beaten 17l on his British comeback in valuable handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, after which he left George Boughey; far from disgraced after a 132-day break when fourth of six on stable debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; easier ground no problem and this trip is fine; far from dismissed. |
7/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Some good runs in Bahrain but beaten 17l on his British comeback in the valuable Rosebery at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, after which he left George Boughey; best known for his exploits in the mud, which isn't forecast, and probably best watched after 132 days away; stable debut. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has come into his own in a major way; second on good to firm at Newmarket (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) in his last two starts; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens; climbing the ladder and although another major step up is required against Dubai Honour on this move out of handicaps, he should be highly competitive against the rest. |
6/1 |

2nd 8 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Late developer who ran once as a 2yo; the waves made last season have gathered scale in handicaps this year, as he backed up his comfortable AW win (1m3f) with a length defeat by Daiquiri Bay at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; led for the most part); he clearly needs to find more again (off 2lb higher) to gain his revenge on the winner but these Gosden runners have a tendency to get better and better; the stable has won this twice since 2021. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won a maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance last term, before failing to go on in his next two starts; however, he was gelded later in the autumn and led 2f out for an impressive 3l win when back in action five weeks ago in useful handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW); 9lb higher today but likely to stay 1m4f and, after just five races, could still have potential. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |

Ex-French 5yo who continues to drop down the weights but he's struggled to get competitive since an encouraging fourth on his stable and seasonal debut at Chester (1m2f, good) in May. |

10th 3 (9) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins, notably Group 3, in France; ran creditably on British debut but has failed to back up that form since and has enough to prove back down in trip (raced mainly beyond 1m). |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

4-10 in France for Andre Fabre before sold for 100,000gns last October and gelded; encouraging fourth at Chester (10.3f) in May on debut for new yard but backward steps since with tongue-tie at Royal Ascot and Chelmsford. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed. |
13/2 |

8th 2 (10) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; retains ability but the handicapper looks to be holding the aces at present; drops in class today but may need some more weight off his back. |
10/1 |

8th 15 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins this summer (1m2f/1m3f) but well beaten on her last three starts (AW/turf) and is now 0-7 on grass; needs to turn things around. |

12th 4 (5) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps this summer, easily best effort at Southwell (1m3f) second occasion; no impact in two Listed races on softer than good but this is her first turf handicap since the spring; worth another go at 1m4f. |
16/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Some way below best when never involved in Listed turf race recently but she'd shown tenacity when making it 3-3 on the AW, over this C&D in July on first course start; 7lb higher in a stronger race and she probably needs to improve again. |

Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

Capable handicapper off this mark but has gone badly off the boil in last three races, admittedly in higher grades; still has a bit to prove now and failed to fire on his previous visit here. |
