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. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive front-runner who was denied late on in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in early June; he'll give backers a run for their money but could again be picked off where it matters. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won well at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and some stiff tasks since; still looked in form when sixth at Windsor 12 days ago but this is a tougher race and he looks vulnerable once again, even with Ryan Moore booked. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has raced mostly at around 5f but there was no doubting that this C&D suited him well when he won by a wide margin (good to firm) in June; ran with great credit when eighth of 27 in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood recently, after having to be switched, and looks a likely contender back here. |

8th 24 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Impressed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; had an excuse at Ascot next time and spent the first half of the race in the unfavoured stands' side group when down the field there last week; this looks too demanding all the same. |

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. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Won this 12 months ago off 9lb higher; 0-15 since and a change of headgear (retained) failed to stop the slide at Ascot three weeks ago. |
6/1 |
|
8th 13 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won at Royal Ascot in 2023 and second in this race in 2025; the handicapper has been in command for much of 2026 but he went close at Windsor last month; not in the same form at Newmarket two weeks ago but the switch from cheekpieces to a visor could help; contender. |

8th 11 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Had a rare off day in the Dash at Epsom but quickly back on track with a close third at Windsor (5f good to firm) 18 days ago; unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |

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. |

Below par in Stewards' Cup but largely in good form over 5f/6f otherwise for current stable, keeping-on third in Shergar Cup Dash most recently; again has place claims. |

|
3rd 4 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ran on well when third in a C&D handicap last month; not in the same form when down the field in the Stewards' Cup last week; not discounted in these slightly calmer waters. |

24th 16 (22) |

9st 3lb |
6f winner at Thirsk (good) in May and back at a similar level when a keeping-on third behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should run his race but others are perhaps better treated. |

Had a fine year in 2025, winning four times including in Listed and Group 3; not in comparable form in 2026 but he has too much ability to be discounted completely. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins over 5f; stays further, having finished better than anything when third of 21 in the Portland at Doncaster (extended 5f, good) last September but this is only his second run in a 6f turf handicap (faded in the first of them) so still has stamina to prove. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Of interest from a handicapping perspective, 3lb lower than when a close third in last season's Portland at Doncaster (5.6f, good); not beaten far into fifth at Windsor 18 days ago; not easy to win with but likely to give a good account. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

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 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

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. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had two C&D wins under his belt before finishing close up in the last two runnings of this (both on good to firm); not ideally placed when returned to this track in May but he should have a say again now back on a better mark, 3lb lower than last August. |
11/2 |
|
14th 9 (16) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |

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. |
50/1 |

8th 5 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner as a 2yo for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he also scored three times in France/Italy last year; raised his form to a new level in the second half of last season but he failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Goodwood 17 days ago; comes with risks attached after that and he needs to bounce back. |
