26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Agonisingly beaten a nose in this last year (good to firm) and continued the good work this season, including a win at Sandown in July; a line can be put through his midfield finish at Glorious Goodwood (trouble in running) and he could have another big part to play, despite a career-high mark. |

11th 6 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive; unlucky second in the 2025 Cambridgeshire and fared best of the far-side runners in this year's Royal Hunt Cup; justified favouritism in the Coral Challenge at Sandown (1m, good to firm) and is 2lb well in under a small penalty for that deserved change of luck; respected. |

1st 7 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Threatening to win a good prize; unlucky second in last year's Cambridgeshire and finished third, best of the far-side runners, in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; 1-1 at Sandown; big chance provided the cards drop right. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not seen to best effect when fifth at Ascot (1m, good) latest but prior to that he was a close second to Indalo (1m, good to firm) in July and this lightly raced 4yo is not ruled out in view of that penultimate effort. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has got better with each of his three runs this year, finishing second at Sandown (1m, good to firm) two months ago; there's every chance that he'll continue to progress and he's one to consider. |
11/2 |

2nd 10 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who ran well in the C&D event won by Beagle Bay most recently but needs to build on that effort and to prove conclusively that his current mark is surmountable; balance of form gives doubt. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Ran well in the face of a tough task when fourth in Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (soft) a fortnight ago and he returns to a handicap on a mark 2lb lower than when fourth of 28 in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); has an each-way shout. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Has lots of form in major handicaps, including a good effort over C&D last year; consistent in the main but faces a stiffer assignment upped to Group level for the first time. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Defied a 5lb lower mark in the corresponding race 12 months ago; many good runs in defeat since then, including his fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup, and he is unlikely to be too far away. |

Fine servant to connections, successful over C&D in February; however, he was below par at the Shergar Cup last time and is drawn wide today. |

6th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

|
4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
The first of two Listed wins last year came over C&D; out of form this season until respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (1m) latest outing, when wearing first headgear (retained today); needs to build on that. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear. |
20/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races prominently (didn't when trying 1m4f last time); a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; has started 2026 in downbeat fashion but today's ground could prompt something better, as his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; below-form favourite in this race two years ago but was denied a clear run; needs to be back in peak form to have any chance. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Regular slow-starter who needs the cards to drop right and hasn't kicked on from his placed efforts in major handicaps in the spring; however, this C&D winner has a good chance provided he's back to best. |
3/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has contested the Lincoln, Victoria Cup and Golden Mile this year, looking unlucky in first two and blowing the start in last-named; very dangerous if everything clicks, although his stamina for this longer trip has to be taken on trust (well held on both previous attempts at 1m1f/1m2f). |
10/1 |
|
12th 17 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Comes with a degree of risk as he's often slowly away and needs the cards to drop right; however, form this term includes placed efforts in two major handicaps, while Goodwood record comprises a creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago and success next time; this may be the day to catch him, with renowned hold-up wizard Jamie Spencer up for first time. |

14/1 |

18th 11 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) last September on final 3yo start and returned to form when third to Mirsky in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained), which he may well have won granted a clear run; lightly raced and in top hands; firmly in calculations. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Won a Nottingham maiden (1m, good) and a Yarmouth handicap (1m1f, soft) last year; respectable sixth (Mirsky third) of 12 in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap on reappearance three weeks ago; wandered around a little under pressure there and now refitted with the cheekpieces he wore once last season; could resume his progression and much respected from a handy inside stall. |

Won a competitive handicap at Newbury (1m, good) in May and ran really well when third of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) latest, when he had to wait for room; also effective here and could be in the mix. |

3rd 8 (12) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May but has been unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup and Coral Challenge; current mark is stiffer than the one off which he finished sixth, amid traffic issues, in this race two years ago. |

Multiple winner who returned to form with a second at Ripon (1m, soft; fine on faster) but dropping back in trip doesn't look ideal when he's 0-5 over 7f (3-18 at 1m+) for this yard. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Both handicap wins have come by narrow margins at Class 3 level and it was a deep Class 2 in which he made no impact last time at Sandown; he's not handicapped out of it if he stays this longer distance (unraced beyond 8.6f). |
5/1 |

10th 17 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |

Winning touch has deserted him since taking back-to-back novices in the spring of 2024; has run some good races during the losing sequence and testing ground won't hold him back, but even if right on his game these weights are unfavourable. |

Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record. |
