Toyotomi

9st 11lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: David O’Meara

Ex-French; took time to acclimatise and was down the field in the Gold Cup last autumn but of more interest now, having been quite impressive at Goodwood (6f, soft) in June and seriously hampered at the Curragh (6f, yielding) last week on second run back from a break; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; likely to be suited by this thorough test and has a solid chance.

Former French Listed winner scored for this yard in soft-ground Goodwood handicap in June and didn't run badly over same C&D last month, having travelled well; any rain would help his cause.

Form & Verdict
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly and he ran his best race on grass when third of seven at Windsor 13 days ago (good to firm); down the field in two runs on soft but his Ayr Silver Cup effort wasn't too bad; new cheekpieces could give him a lift.

Dual winner on the AW last season (5f/6f); not scored so far this term, but was runner-up at Salisbury in June (6f, good to firm) and Windsor in July (6f, good to firm); handles soft ground and well drawn but drop in trip may not be ideal on this sharp track.

J: Finley Marsh

Both wins on AW; 0-9 on grass but cheekpieces seem to have bucked him up of late and he was very close to breaking his turf duck at Salisbury before making late inroads into Another Abbot's lead over this C&D last time; weighted to be thereabouts with that one and can't be ruled out.

Both wins at Windsor but she is effective elsewhere; runner-up in two of her three starts this year but she's back from nine weeks off and could prove vulnerable.

Had a good spell over 5f for this yard last autumn, winning three times on AW and turf (good to soft); he's found it harder since and although there isn't much between him and Toyotomi on 6f form at Goodwood in June he was beaten a bit too far for reassurance at Hamilton recently.

He's run well in the main (including on soft ground) since winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in July and was fourth of 13 at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) on Sunday; the drop back to 5f could help; in with a chance.

Can lead; three turf wins include a 6f Listed on soft as a 2yo but two subsequent successes have come on the AW; likely to need more than a recent Goodwood fourth (6f, soft) when helped by his track position.

Form & Verdict
Won 6f handicaps at Windsor and Ascot last summer; dropped down the weights in defeat this season but there have been glimmers of promise and ground softer than good will be of benefit; ran no sort of race at Carlisle eight days ago (in cheekpieces) but his usual blinkers are back on today; Oisin Murphy booked; interesting.

Well treated on the pick of his 6f form on various ground for previous yard in 2025; mostly had a slow time of it this year but there were much better signs at Goodwood on last two starts and he only just failed to get up there last week; should go well.

Thrown in on his 3yo best, notably a 6f win at Ascot (good to soft) 12 months ago when 11lb higher; 2026 campaign has been underwhelming though and others look stronger for the win.

Ended a two-year barren spell when getting up late in a 5f handicap here 16 days; 3lb higher mark to deal with but he has a Group 3 win on his record and conditions won't faze him; respected.

Came from rear to win at Goodwood (5f, good; cheekpieces removed) in May and is now 1lb lower but has barely beaten a rival in three runs since; the cheekpieces are now back on; leap of faith required to support him.
