26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Produced a career-best performance when a well-backed winner on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) in July; a case can be made on that form but he wasn't at the same level at Ascot (1m, good to firm) subsequently and has to leave that run behind. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
With this visor back on, and back on better ground, he returned to form with a well-backed win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, coming clear with a runner-up who was returning from a long absence and won at Sandown on Thursday; an 8lb rise might not stop him. |

Below par in first-time blinkers at Epsom last month but the good to soft ground may not have suited and he's back in a visor today, in which he went close at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; has an each-way shout. |

3rd 13 (10) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Unraced on softer than good; absent 612 days after his novice races (including 9.4f win) in 2024 for Roger Varian; running-on second on reappearance at Newmarket (1m) and gradually asserted when favourite for six-runner race at Sandown (1m2f, again good to firm) two weeks later; up 3lb but should have more to offer at this trip. |

1st 3 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced and well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 for Roger Varian and then absent until Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, when runner-up on his handicap and stable debut; could have a big say up in trip if avoiding the dreaded bounce. |

2nd 12 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice for Roger Varian at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 and absent since (gelded in interim); changed hands for 40,000gns in February and has joined an up-and-coming stable, but he may need this comeback outing. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed the 12th win of his career (including one over C&D) at Newmarket (1m, good) in May but hasn't hit the same level in five subsequent runs; has dipped to 1lb above the mark he defied on the Rowley Mile but others arrive with more pressing claims. |

6th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty. |

Runner-up at Ripon (1m2f, good) in May and some respectable efforts since but it's likely that this exposed 4yo is vulnerable once more. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Unraced on softer than good; latest seventh of 17 to Al Aali at Glorious Goodwood was respectable but took his handicap record to 0-9; others are preferred for win purposes again. |

0-8 in handicaps but runner-up in three (two at 1m2f) and ran respectably when fourth at Newmarket on latest start; short of room when well held at this meeting last year; new cheekpieces join the tongue-tie. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in May and at the other Newmarket course (1m, good) in June, and he was a close third at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago; however, it's been an inconsistent campaign and he was soundly beaten back at Ascot (1m, good) last time; others are more solid. |

8th 8 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent this year but made it three wins in 2026 when scoring at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in July and he was a close third to Hickory over this C&D (good to firm) next time; could be in the shake-up. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Two wins on the two Newmarket courses this season (1m, good to firm/good), the latest coming last month when held up; only fifth to Asmen Warrior at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago but saw plenty of daylight in a prominent position and may not have been seen to best effect; this lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in. |

Better than ever aged eight and recent form features two course wins over 1m, taking Ascot record to 4-13; may ideally need that trip now and it was soft ground when he finished second in this contest 12 months ago. |

1st 7 (11) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Has a patchy profile but he got back near best with a strong-finishing success in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; that was in a bunch finish but he's only 2lb higher and is a big player if he can repeat that form. |

His fourth of 30 in the Britannia at the royal meeting here (1m, good to firm) in June has been this season's highlight but not disgraced when beaten under 4l at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie); still has to prove himself at this trip but pedigree suggests he can do so. |

7th 8 (8) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
2yo novice winner and an always-prominent fourth of 30 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; not so hot at Newmarket (1m) three weeks ago, which sees a tongue-tie enlisted today; his dam being a 1m4f/1m5f winner heightens interest in this new trip. |

16th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |

Had soft ground as a possible excuse for his no show in the Balmoral at Ascot last month and solid record in handicaps before that, including fourth in Hunt Cup and a defeat of subsequent Cambridgeshire winner Liberty Lane at Doncaster (1m2f) in September; has a 2-2 AW record; no surprise were he to make his presence felt in this higher grade. |

9st 0lb |
Landed the Chesterfield Cup at this meeting in 2023, initiating a notable double; however, has failed to score since and current mark reflects a broad decline in his form; drop to Class 3 had no effect last time and he looks a shadow of his former self. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |

Often held up in rear, so he saw very little daylight when 50-1 off career-low mark in the Spring Cup at Newbury in April; dropped another 2lb since but he last won in September 2023 and failed to make an impact in all but one of his races in 2025, so does not look the percentage call. |

All four wins have been over 1m at Kempton where he nearly added another last month; record of 0-9 on turf but also went close at York two runs ago, albeit on good to firm (slower might not be preferable); one or two others appeal more; first-time tongue-tie. |

All four wins have been over C&D and latest was in March; record of 0-9 on turf but he returned to form with a close second in a big field at York last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he should get a decent tow into this race; respected. |

3yo who was placed in the spring in his first three handicaps (1m2f/1m, good) before beating his four rivals to win at Sandown (1m1f, good) last month; this is a tougher assignment but he travelled well last time and could have more to offer; possible contender. |

0-6 record includes three runs here but he's run well on all of those visits, including when third of six in a hot Class 4 on his April return; filled that position again at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good) 12 days ago and this free-going sort may benefit from today's drop back to 1m; player. |

Went up the weights for his 1m wins on fast ground at Carlisle this summer but back to some form with a 4l fifth on heavy at Beverley 13 days ago; hard to know whether the return of cheekpieces (in which he's 5100) is a good thing or not. |

Made winning debut on soft ground at Newbury (6.5f) last October and made a winning reappearance in a Doncaster novice (7f, good to firm) in June; however, he's been disappointing in two handicaps since, including at Salisbury last time on his first start since being gelded, and now has a bit to prove. |

Well-bred 3yo who has won on soft (extended 6f) and good to firm (7f); went off favourite for handicap debut over 1m at Newmarket in July but ran way below expectations; gelded since which could work wonders and he should be capable of much better. |

Won on 2yo debut at Newbury (6.5f, soft) last October and similar form when third at Kempton (7f, AW) next time; reappeared with a last-gasp novice win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) and this Frankel colt, who is out of 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty, is open to further improvement tackling 1m on his handicap debut; could play a leading role. |
