9st 2lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year but hasn't come up to scratch subsequently and needs to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year and he got no run when down the field in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in July; however, he was soundly beaten at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time and has to raise his game. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Talented mare but she needs things to fall right, as evidenced by her last win coming in July 2024; after a solid start to this year's campaign she couldn't justify favouritism when third in Pontefract Listed event (1m, good; Crystal Flyer second) in July and made no impact in Ascot Group 3 18 days later; narrowly sets the standard, however, and she should be finishing off well in her bid to better last year's third place in this race. |
7/2 |

7th 1 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run up to 16; has run some fine races in that period but her hold-up style dictates that things need to drop right and she got going too late when third in 1m Pontefract Listed race 18 days ago; prior to that she finished around 2l behind the reopposing Kon Tiki when eighth of 15 to Blue Bolt in the Duke Of Cambridge over C&D at the Royal meeting (good to firm). |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, who acts on good to firm and good to soft; 0-9 since his AW win last December, but he's run plenty of good races this season including when fourth at Newbury (7f) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 this season but he's been bubbling under, and he'd have gone close to winning at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday but for being badly hampered inside the final 1f; dangerous if he's fully recovered from that. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form this season but last two efforts creditable and the way his challenge petered out late on over 1m at Ascot a fortnight ago suggests this return to 7f could prove ideal. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in Golden Mile over C&D last year; hasn't quite seen out his races this term for new yard but holds a good chance off current mark provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
13/2 |

8th 4 (18) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Third of 15 for Richard Hughes in the Golden Mile here last August when 5lb higher; hasn't hit the same heights since, most recently fifth of nine at Redcar when the 6-4 favourite; however, he's on a dangerous mark and is not written off; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting. |
11/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Very useful for Richard Hughes, including third in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, soft) on last year's reappearance; failed to back that up in two subsequent outings in 2025 but added to his solid record fresh when fourth on 1m Newmarket return for new yard 23 days ago; classy but needs to show he can still string good efforts together now. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Just behind Blue Hercules when initially tried over 1m4f at Ascot in July and similar form when runner-up next time at York; good to soft ground perhaps not ideal in last two runs yet still fared respectably in a deep handicap at the Ebor meeting and latterly dropped to 1m1f at Yarmouth; each-way chance. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Upped to 1m4f on good to firm when placed at Ascot (made most) and York (under Toby Moore) in July; drops back in trip and ground softer than good poses a question mark, as shown again at York on latest outing. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten at Epsom on Oaks day on sole start on softer than good; upped to 1m4f (good to firm) for his two starts since when third of eight at Ascot (made most) and second of ten under 7lb claimer at York, both solid efforts but a bit extra will be needed to win this; non-runner at Newmarket yesterday. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |
15/2 |

11th 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner who is familiar with stronger handicaps than this and he was beaten under 3l in a big field last time at Newbury (7f); won his last race at this level in May, over 1m and off the very same mark. |
7/1 |
|
8th 10 (13) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed the 12th win of his career (including one over C&D) at Newmarket (1m, good) in May but hasn't hit the same level in five subsequent runs; has dipped to 1lb above the mark he defied on the Rowley Mile but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
25/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

Lightly raced 4yo who won two 1m races (good) in Ireland last year, but hasn't seen his race out in three outings over that trip for Declan Carroll this spring; now drops to 7f for the first time since his debut. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two 1m races (good) in Ireland last year; has needed both runs for this yard but stepped up on reappearance when just ahead of the hampered City Of Poets over C&D a fortnight ago; another advance is possible but needed. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Pair of 1m wins on good ground in Ireland last summer, namely a Naas maiden (wore cheekpieces) and Curragh handicap (visored); low-mileage new recruit for Declan Carroll but he'll need to leave last month's Newmarket reappearance with a tongue-tie added (retained) well behind to play a leading role here. |

Two 1m wins in May 2025, at Newmarket and Haydock (both on good), but he hasn't found his form since back in Britain in April, a further drop in the weights failing to produce more over this C&D in August. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

12th 14 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |

Course winner who won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 4lb below his last winning mark; showed some spark at Meydan in January but hasn't shone in Britain on his two runs since and needs to turn things around. |

Winless this year and only 2-36 overall; however, a repeat of his recent third in what looked a stronger race at Newmarket (1m1f, good) would see him on the scene. |

3rd 7 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Has an overall strike-rate of 2-35 and winless this year despite the odd respectable effort; he'd be a surprise winner against rivals who have greater scope for improvement. |
