17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Overcame trouble to win by 1l at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day, taking record since being gelded to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; returns to a hotter handicap but he's improving steadily and 1lb well in under a penalty; not dismissed. |

1st 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on ground softer than good; Chester maiden (7.5f) winner who made all on Newmarket's July course last August; had been gelded when successfully repeating those tactics on his comeback at Newmarket (also 1m) in April but below that form back there at the Guineas meeting the following month; not dismissed, with Oisin Murphy sticking with him. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |

Down the field when 33-1 in C&D Cambridgeshire last September, before being gelded; however, he was reliable and progressive earlier last season and reappeared with a front-running 1m win here (favourite) 18 days ago; has 5lb penalty (same as his revised mark) but needs plenty of respect. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 15 but she has run some fine races in that period, not least when beaten less than a length into third of six in the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last August (entered again this year); respected on these terms and Jamie Spencer knows her well; still holds a Sussex Stakes entry. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Smart hold-up mare who sometimes hits traffic; matched previous best when second in a Newmarket handicap on her April return and latest fourth of six behind Blue Bolt in Goodwood Listed event (also 1m, good) was a solid effort; stall 1 doesn't make life easy but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see her appear on the scene late if able to pick her way through. |

10st 1lb |
Four wins over 7f/1m, two on the AW; fair third at Newmarket in April (1m, good) but not so good since; acts on any ground although withdrawn on account of the going (officially good to firm) last time. |

Four wins split between turf and AW; his last success was off this mark at Lingfield in December but he has a mixed record since and was a well-held fourth at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month; others preferred. |

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. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won a 1m1f handicap here in September 2023; didn't get going the following term but returned from a year's absence with fine third of 15 in Goodwood's Golden Mile (1m, soft) last August; weakened when favourite for the Cambridgeshire here (1m1f, good to firm) the following month and he left Richard Hughes after beating two home at Kempton (AW) in November; stable debut. |
5/1 |

16th 13 (22) |

5yo who has been lightly raced since his easy win over C&D (good to firm) in September 2023; returned from a year off with very creditable third of 15 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) 57 days ago and he could build on that performance today; chance. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
3yo maiden winner; running on well into a close third of 12 at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) this May was his first significant impact in handicaps and perhaps the ground was too soft at Epsom (1m2f) on Oaks day five weeks ago; this new trip gives him a bit more to prove, though. |
7/1 |

13th 13 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Unraced on softer than good; failed to make a significant impact in his first four handicaps but did so at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) on latest outing, running on well into a close third of 12 off today's mark; return to 1m2f could help and he needs a second look. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Windsor maiden winner for the Gosdens last April, followed by a 1m3f Listed third and big-money sale; only mid-division in his four handicaps since, 20-1 off this mark behind Mr Winston here (1m) on reappearance; back up by a furlong but others have more pressing claims. |

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 |

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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |
16/1 |

13th 1 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Disappointing at Epsom a fortnight ago but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) last month and he has a very solid record at this track, featuring a C&D win and 2l fourth in this last year; could bounce back. |
14/1 |

17th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high). |

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. |

9st 11lb |
Two 1m good-ground wins last spring include a defeat of Classic Encounter at Newmarket; creditable fifth of 16 at Meydan in January and although his return to these shores didn't go well when tailed off at Newmarket (raced too freely) in April, he's dipped below his last winning mark; considered. |
9/2 |

9th 8 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Good seventh of 23 here in the Cambridgeshire when second home on his side; not much went right on UAE debut at Meydan (1m, good) in January but he was a solid fifth of 16 over that C&D a fortnight later and is now back down to his last winning mark; C&D winner who looks a key player. |

9st 10lb |
Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again. |

3rd 5 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in three of his four starts here, including when third in this race last year; after a poor start to this term he showed more three weeks ago and has dropped 4lb since; not ruled out despite the losing run racking up. |

9th 9 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Second in this two years ago and often ran well last season; on a competitive mark on his best form but beaten on his last 20 starts and he's struggled on both outings this term. |
