4th 6 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Dual Group 1 winner who has a record of 6-9 overall and had a mitigating factor (set an unsuitably steady pace) in his 2025 King George defeat in sole C&D attempt; played a distant second fiddle last time when bidding for a Coronation Cup double at Epsom but nothing behind the winner showed their form in the rain-soaked conditions; the peak form he showed when beating Calandagan 12 months earlier gives him a big chance in this field. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
High-class performer who has a record of 6-8 overall and 2-3 at Group 1 level, adding to his 2024 St Leger win when knuckling down the better to beat Calandagan in this contest (good to soft) 12 months ago; combination of cheekpieces and setting an unsuitably steady pace perhaps contributed to his King George defeat behind that rival; reappearance success in the Ormonde at Chester (1m5f, good) sets him up nicely for another Coronation Cup bid. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
5yo who is an improved performer this season and registered career-best form when a close third in C&D Listed race last time, a neck behind Tabletalk; should be bang there once again. |
13/8 |

3rd 4 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
5yo who has been an improved performer on his two starts this season, going close behind Al Qareem at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft; Listed, same terms today) then runner-up in the Group 3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester (13.3f, good) in which Al Qareem flopped; he's firmly in calculations. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Close second in Listed events at Chester (12.5f) last September and Musselburgh (1m6f) on reappearance, latter behind Al Qareem who gave 5lb and is now better off; further behind that opponent when fifth of six in this race last year; needs a personal best. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 4y |
9st 11lb |
2024 Queen's Vase winner; second in last year's Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and runner-up again in the Goodwood Cup (2m, good); flopped when favourite for the Irish St Leger won by Al Riffa; satisfactory return in Ormonde at Chester before a dismal Coronation Cup run; bounced back from that when landing the Queen Alexandra. |
2/1 |
|
1st 8 (13) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Finished runner-up in last year's Gold Cup here (good to firm) and second again in the Goodwood version (2m, good), only narrowly failing to concede 14lb to Scandinavia; crystal clear claims on these favourable terms if returning to that level of form but he wasn't at his best when bidding for a second Ormonde at Chester and ran abysmally in the recent Coronation Cup when under the pump from a worryingly early stage (unwise to blame the rain-hit ground when he has soft-ground form); hard to dismiss but in equal measure he's hard to trust. |
3/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in two Cup races last term; only a neck behind stablemate Jan Brueghel in the 2024 St Leger but was beaten about 5l by that opponent last month when bidding for a second success in the Ormonde at Chester, doing nothing to close their current ratings differential; perhaps in here to set the pace and ensure a proper test. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Generally consistent performer who wasn't disgraced on bare figures at Chester (1m5f) last time but finished almost 8l behind Jan Brueghel, getting nowhere near to defying a penalty for his Group 2 Saudi handicap win (1m7f); faces a stiff task and needs help from first-time headgear. |
66/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Very useful for current yard; has been on his travels this year, winning 1m7f handicap at Riyadh then creditable fourth over 2m at Meydan, both Group 2; however, incurs 5lb penalty and faces a stiffer assignment conceding weight all round in this field. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Several decent efforts in defeat at Listed/Group 3 level for Jane Chapple-Hyam in 2024 and again earlier this term before making the breakthrough at this level in Ballyroan Stakes over C&D last month, dictating throughout on first attempt at this trip; stiffer task here. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Uncharacteristically below par when well beaten at Chester last month and the track wasn't an excuse; four Group 3/Listed wins last year, including when making all in this under a 5lb penalty (same today), and he reappeared with a Listed win at Musselburgh in April; leading claims if back on song. |
2/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Justified favouritism in Listed grade at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) on seasonal debut, making it five wins from his last nine starts and taking overall record to 13-36; Chester record reads 112, most recently running creditably in this race 12 months ago; again likely to give his running. |
9/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who keeps pulling out more, with 12 wins; the four last season (April-October) included career-best form; unraced here; has never won first time out but he has run creditably and is the clear form pick. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this. |
16/1 |

8th 1 (16) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; not nearly so good in his two races back on turf but his recent run at Epsom (1m2f) should have teed him up nicely for this; current mark and tactical issues coming from the rear are the chief worries. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (17) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 10lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year, prior to tailing off at 50-1 in the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester four weeks ago; he's not on a bad mark but plenty needs to go right if one of his late rushes is to prevail in this. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Third in this race last year off 3lb higher; competitive only once (Saudi Arabia in February) from six starts this year and there's been no win for very nearly three years, so he's far from being the percentage call. |
50/1 |
|
13th 6 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Close up in a Saudi Arabian 1m7f handicap in February (latest run in a tongue-tie that now returns) but that form is none too persuasive in a race of this nature and he's hardly hit the ground running back in Britain; only eighth in this last year off 2lb higher; one for the optimists. |
22/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in handicap in Saudi Arabia on second start this year but has not beaten a rival in two runs back in Britain; difficult to recommend. |
