1st 4 (4) |
17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks, including a win in this race on good 12 months ago; below par in recent starts but things didn't go his way at Goodwood last time and he's well treated if staging a revival having dipped to 3lb lower than when third (Vintage Clarets second) of 20 in the Epsom Dash (good soft) in June. |

6th 2 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks and was a ready winner over this C&D in May before having an awkward passage in 6th of 23 at the big meeting here in July; front-running at York didn't come off ten days ago but he has to be of interest on the earlier form. |

20th 6 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better than ever this year following a gelding operation, winning at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and running with credit at Epsom (the Dash) and Glorious Goodwood since; should give his running but might find one or two better treated today. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Two wins in handicaps (6f and 5f) this season, the latest on heavy going at Haydock last week; more on his plate in a competitive Listed race. |
25/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Saw off All Ways Glamorous to land this race on good to soft 12 months ago; smart handicap performance when a clearcut winner at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; hasn't fully confirmed that improvement in strong races since but he shaped quite well (briefly not clear run) when keeping-on fifth of 21 in the recent Portland at Doncaster (5.5f, good); can make a bold bid to defend his crown. |
100/30 |

5th 11 (18) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won easily at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June but he was hit hard for that success and has come up short in some goood sprint handicaps since; a similar fate could be on the cards this time. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't been at his best since a Listed win at York last May but he's on a reduced mark and showed some spark when third at Goodwood in May; he's had wind surgery since a midfield finish at York later in May and it will be no surprise if he runs well on AW debut. |
8/1 |
|
12th 11 (8) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His best form is at 5f and he hasn't been at the top of his game since a Listed win at this meeting last May; however, he kept on well for third at Goodwood (5f, good) recently, suggesting the return to 6f is worth exploring, and his two career wins have both come here; a visor goes on. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Bagged 5f York listed event last May; off seven months/gelded before posting an encouraging eighth of 14 in 5f Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago, nearest finish having lost ground when hampered soon after start; not without interest off a reduced mark. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Capitalised on a good mark at Newbury (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but still feasibly weighted and this Royal Ascot winner should make another bold bid. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Superb run of AW form at 5f in the autumn, winning three in a row, two from the front; has remained in form since but he couldn't sustain his effort back on turf at Goodwood last time and needs to show he can reproduce his sand form on grass. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Completed a 5f AW hat-trick last backend and has continued in fine form this spring, runner-up in 5f Southwell handicap last time; must enter calculations back on turf. |

2nd 8 (12) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he improved again when second in the Listed Hever Stakes at Lingfield four weeks ago; a 3lb rise demands extra but this speedy sort shouldn't be discounted. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

He has run some solid races in sprint handicaps this season, including second over 5f at Haydock (heavy; acts on firm) off this mark last weekend; also placed twice here this year; in the mix. |

2nd 1 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Group 3 win at Dundalk last October was one of four victories for the year; has struggled this season but his mark has plummeted as a result and he was better than the result when attracting market support at Lingfield (5f, AW) latest, running on late from too far back; it'll be interesting to see whether his backers return. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Group 3 win at Dundalk (only run to date on Polytrack) last October was one of four victories for the year; struggled this season, often being inclined to hang right, and followers will largely be pinning their hopes on the surface switch doing the trick. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) in August; never dangerous in the Portland three weeks ago but this is more manageable and he finished second in this race last year off a 5lb higher mark. |

16th 21 (13) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |

Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago; back up 3lb but that's less of a concern than the stiffer opposition. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins over 5f; has a hold up style which dictates that he needs things to fall right but he's now 8lb lower than when second to Roach Power at Ascot (5f, soft) last autumn and he didn't run too badly in a series final at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; considered with Roger Teal among the winners. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner; no longer the force of old but ran big race when fourth of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last week; 1lb lower here and could be hard to catch if in similar form again. |
13/8 |

4th 5 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Front-runner; 3lb lower than for his runaway win at Haydock last September (5f, good) but hasn't got a lot going in his last four races and was tailed off in Epsom's Dash, in which he was second in 2024; others preferred. |

Resumed winning ways in 6f Windsor handicap in August; not disgraced from a poor draw when in midfield in 21-runner handicap at York (5.5f) since; eased 1lb and can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |

10th 10 (20) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has never run on ground faster than good (and taken out before on account of unsuitable good ground), so conditions could be a worry; hard to place after a Listed win in Italy last autumn ruined his mark and has struggled in three runs for this yard. |
6/1 |
|
17th 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good ground or slower; won a 5f Listed race in Italy on his final start for a French yard; big prices and finished down the field in two 5f handicaps last month; dropped 7lb for his troubles but he arrives with a point to prove. |
