17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Made the frame in this race last year, taking Ascot record to 11322214; however, has lost that consistency by finishing only seventh in the Queen Anne and sixth in the Summer Mile in his starts here during a 2026 campaign that commenced with Doncaster win; brings a doubt over current form; cheekpieces added. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Grand campaigner but his last two efforts, including in the Queen Anne he'd won 12 months earlier, have spoiled an otherwise excellent record at Ascot which is the place he's most associated with; below best in both Goodwood attempts, latest when fifth of seven in this race last year; opposed. |
66/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has an excellent record over the straight 1m here, including a Queen Anne win at the 2025 Royal meeting; below par in the latest edition of that race but a Doncaster Listed win and Sha Tin Group 1 third in the spring suggest he's still just about as good as ever. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Won a big 7f handicap at Ascot (soft) in October 2024; drawn a blank since and he made a low-key return to action in a Group 2 at Doncaster (7f, good; first run since a gelding operation) last week; drops to 6f for the first time but surplus stamina no bad thing in this race. |
20/1 |

8th 5 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Has bits of Listed and Group 3 form since beating Qirat to win major 7f handicap at Ascot (soft) in 2024; the freshest contender, having been absent (and gelded) since running well over 1m here in March; market support would heighten interest. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
0-4 last season but this prominent-racer ran well more often than not, including when third in the Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) on his reappearance; also effective at 1m and on slow ground; there can be optimism he'll be at or close to the top of his game on this seasonal debut; chance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Favourite in a handicap at the Curragh (7f, yielding) three weeks ago on his second stable start and did well to finish third having endured a torrid passage; there's mileage in his mark judged on his peak form for Jack Channon, namely a Group 3 second at Haydock (1m, good) last September, and he could play a leading role back up to 1m if he gets the breaks. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Smart three-time winner (7f-1m) for Jack Channon who was bought in July for 100,000gns on the back of two below-par runs in strong handicaps; made stable debut in another at Leopardstown (7f, good; 15-2) two weeks ago and wasn't beaten too far after hitting some traffic; respected. |
5/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Smart three-time winner (7f-1m) for Jack Channon who was bought in July for 100,000gns on the back of two below-par runs in strong handicaps; the season had started well in Listed races (including a third here) and Oisin Murphy is a notable jockey booking; worthy of respect. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on soft and good to firm; fluky winner of the 2025 Sussex Stakes but he's smart in his own right and won from Never So Brave at York (7f Group 3) in June; best of the rest behind a good 3yo in Goodwood Group 2 over 1m last time; likely to go well. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unbeaten at this course until two defeats at the 2026 Glorious Goodwood, albeit faced a difficult task on ratings and raced too close to strong pace in the Sussex Stakes latest (fluky winner of that race 12 months earlier); has a better chance in this field. |
5/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Prevailed in York Group 3 when dropped back to 7f last month, benefiting from the first application of a tongue-tie, and rallied for fourth behind Lake Forest in 7f Group 2 Lennox here yesterday; well suited by Goodwood but he was a fluky 150-1 winner of this race last year, having been allowed too much rope in a pacemaking duty, and seems unlikely to repeat the feat. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Useful sort whose handicap form features 1m wins on turf last September and AW penultimate start; below-par third in 1m1f Listed contest in France latest; worth another crack at this grade but possibly isn't crying out for the further increase in distance. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a Doncaster handicap (1m, good) last September; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been beaten 11l and 18l in Listed events in his last two starts; has bit to prove after another break and he's untried on AW. |
