22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
2m Group 1 entry for Ascot in October, along with several others in this; unraced on good to soft and below form in a soft-ground run last term; unbeaten in 2026, having led in the closing stages on good to firm at the Newmarket Guineas meeting (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f; by a head); raised another 5lb but progressive and plenty to like if the ground proves suitable. |

1st 4 (12) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
After just the solitary run as 2yo he made steady progress last season and delivered a clear personal best when reeling in the front-running Gamrai in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting (good to firm; first run since gelded) on reappearance; up just 4lb and this return to a longer trip won't bother him; hard to knock. |

1st 6 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Sole win in eight runs was a Chester maiden; best efforts, however, when third in both the 1m6f Melrose at York (good to firm; led over 2f out) and another valuable handicap over C&D (good; finishing strongly) in October; gelded soon afterwards; interesting prospect as 4yo. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has come into his own in a major way; second on good to firm at Newmarket (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) in his last two starts; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens; climbing the ladder and although another major step up is required against Dubai Honour on this move out of handicaps, he should be highly competitive against the rest. |
6/1 |

2nd 8 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Late developer who ran once as a 2yo; the waves made last season have gathered scale in handicaps this year, as he backed up his comfortable AW win (1m3f) with a length defeat by Daiquiri Bay at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; led for the most part); he clearly needs to find more again (off 2lb higher) to gain his revenge on the winner but these Gosden runners have a tendency to get better and better; the stable has won this twice since 2021. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won a maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance last term, before failing to go on in his next two starts; however, he was gelded later in the autumn and led 2f out for an impressive 3l win when back in action five weeks ago in useful handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW); 9lb higher today but likely to stay 1m4f and, after just five races, could still have potential. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won on heavy as 2yo, unraced on soft; regular progress/promise (including on good to soft) in his first six handicaps, without winning; raced freely early on in the last of those when running out of steam at Royal Ascot (1m4f) but he then got his act together at Glorious Goodwood (upped to 1m6f, good to firm) three weeks ago when travelling smoothly in mid-division and going on over 1f out, before holding a hampered runner-up (who won well here on Wednesday); well treated under 4lb penalty. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
0-6 in handicaps, with regular progress/promise but not when favourite last time at Royal Ascot where he raced freely early on and ran out of steam after challenging over 2f out (finished 8l sixth of 17); it's much too early to forget his reappearance promise (also 1m4f on good to firm) but that latest run also casts some doubt on the suitability of this new trip. |
7/1 |

6th 10 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who's without a handicap win but has mostly progressed in defeat, with the exception on heavy going; came from last to third in eight-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago for a promising reappearance and the two ahead of him filled the same positions over 1m6f here on Tuesday; changed hands since and has a major chance. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Contested three Group races last summer; it's been 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but two disappointing shows at Ascot have followed; blinkered latest; stays at least 1m5f (unraced over this far) and he's 6lb lower than at Newmarket, but some caution is advised at present. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Contested three Group races last summer; 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but backpedalling from over 3f out when just 9-1 at Royal Ascot; needs to bounce back in first-time headgear but his sights are lowered. |
9/2 |

14th 7 (18) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably last summer in the Derby and two 1m5f Group 3s, while coming up well short; absent 259 days before his fourth of eight on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; Hopewell Rock third) seven weeks ago, which was actually his best form and the first two also dominated a 1m6f handicap here on Tuesday, but he needs to build on that. |

9st 7lb |
1m4f AW Listed winner for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW last winter but reverted to lesser efforts on his four outings this spring. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
1m4f AW Listed winner (also acts on good to soft and softer) for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW this winter but he's been below par on his last three starts; soft ground would enhance his cause but others are more solid. |
33/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
AW Listed winner for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been near that form since a Listed second last June; second and third places early this year came in small fields and other options look more solid. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly ring-rusty on Group 3 return at Newbury two weeks ago, the same story as in 2025 when he followed that race with a win at this meeting in a four-runner 1m4f Group 2 with first-time cheekpieces; they were kept for two modest efforts last June but have not been called on this season; this is his first handicap and he has a big chance if springing back to his best. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last May in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept for two modest efforts in June but not today; first run since a gelding operation in September; ring-rusty on his 2025 reappearance in this race and the market may reveal whether the same is expected this time. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Displayed improved form in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when winning the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; flopped in the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom subsequently but was reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground; he could be just the type of older horse his trainer excels with and he's not ruled out. |

9st 6lb |
Beaten under 3l in the Shergar Cup Stayers last time and is possibly running into form; however, usually races over further nowadays and this drop back to 1m4f looks a negative; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Only eighth of ten in a 1m6f handicap at Newmarket a month ago in which he was second in 2024 and won in 2025 (on good to firm); that was yet another below-par effort and hopes rest on the tongue-tie making a difference. |
20/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Second in this race in 2024 and won it last year (good to firm); now he has a 4lb lower mark than last year; that's having failed to finish in the first six in any of his seven races since, but at least his latest start was better than reappearance and it's not unheard of for runners from this stable to surge back to form. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-24 on AW but 0-13 on turf; returned to form when second over C&D (good; Class 3) two weeks ago but he dictated steady fractions from the front and it probably flatters him; still commands some attention. |

2nd 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |

6-24 on AW but 0-12 on turf; recent efforts have been underwhelming and he's probably better suited by 1m4f; not the percentage call. |
20/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Six-time AW winner but he's 0-11 on turf and has struggled at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) and Hamilton (1m5f, good) in last two runs; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he has plenty to prove back at this trip. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |

A two-time 1m4f scorer at Wolverhampton in the spring; rare poor effort when last of eight in 1m4f Newmarket handicap last time; the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |

8th 2 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem. |
