15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Back on the up with hard-fought 7f Listed win at Chester (good) in July, before finishing down the field in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood; returning to this trip should suit but he has a fair bit to find on the figures. |
33/1 |

22th 3 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in Dubai early in the year before coming up short in Group 1 company in March and June; back on the up with a 7f Listed win at Chester three weeks ago; this looks a tough task under 6lb penalty though. |
16/1 |

1st 9 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won two conditions races at Meydan (7f/6f, good) early this year and he's had tough tasks in Group 1 events in last two starts including the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; still lightly raced but he needs to find more progress back up in trip and down in class. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field in Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last time but prior to that she went close in two Listed races at Chester (7f, good); has a part to play if leaving last time behind. |
8/1 |
|
10th 4 (14) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
She's gone close in Listed races at Chester (7f, good) on her last two starts, beaten just a neck last time when having to challenge wide; she might not be far away. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins have been in handicaps but she finished well to go close in a Listed event over C&D (good) two weeks ago; hard to rule out anther good run but this is tougher than last time and she's not easy to predict. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Came up short (fourth of six) in this race three years ago and record suggests he's best suited by Listed level; latest effort, in a Chester contest that he'd won twice previously, confirms as much. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025, posting a personal best when narrowly beating Witness Stand in the latter; didn't shine back from a lengthy absence at Haydock in May, but he shaped as though he needed that run and has leading claims if he can get back near his best here; key player in his bid to make it 3-4 at Chester. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the same Listed event at Chester in 2023 (soft) and 2025 (good), posting a personal best in latter; not seen since but he has plenty of form when fresh and cannot be ruled out. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a Group 3 at Kempton last September as a juvenile before finishing fourth in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket, both over 6f; highly tried without success this term and although his yard is going great guns, his mark looks high at present. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Useful colt whose 2yo form featured a success in AW Group 3 and fourth in the Middle Park, both over 6f; proved resurgent in 7f Listed contest at Chester most recently, making the frame; however, has something to find on ratings upped further in distance. |
33/1 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won 6f Group 3 on AW last September and fourth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; that rounded off his 2yo campaign but he's been regressive in three runs this season and was down the field in a York handicap last time; has some questions to answer and he's untried at this trip. |

9st 7lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) in June 2024 and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) two months later; has had only two runs since then but latest was a creditable second in a Listed event at Haydock last May; now returns after another lengthy absence but he has a good strike-rate and needs a close look for in-form yard. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt over C&D last June and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; Kikkuli fourth) two months later; probably unsuited by very testing ground when well held in French Group 1 final start; escapes a penalty for those Group wins but he's taken a couple of runs to find his best form in the last two seasons. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Ran as well as he's ever done when second in this race 12 months ago, and he was a creditable third in Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) last time; solid credentials and unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort this year when going close in Group 3 at Epsom on penultimate start; record at Goodwood features two wins at this meeting, including in this race 12 months ago, and a good second to Qirat on worse terms in a handicap; shortlist material back here. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Likeable 5yo who has a strike-rate of 7-19 and was runner-up behind an impressive winner in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; should be in the mix again and his only previous visit to Chester resulted in a C&D win. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Likeable 5yo with a good (7-18) strike-rate; shaped well in Listed event at Doncaster on reappearance and dug deep to win conditions race at Thirsk (7f, good) next time; may not have reached his ceiling and is high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Most progressive in the last couple of years, winning six 7f handicaps, with the first gained off of a rating of 67; another career-best effort when second in 7f Redcar Listed race (good to soft) on his final 4yo start; should be spot on for this after finishing fifth of 12 in a 6f Doncaster Listed event on his reappearance 13 days ago. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 10lb lower mark; as good as ever when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (7f, Listed) in March but has found it tougher going since; apprentice's claim is useful but he still has little margin for error off this mark. |
9/1 |
|
8th 3 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures. |
14/1 |
|
10th 1 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ready winner of a C&D handicap last summer off a 12lb lower mark; better than ever when a close fourth in a Wolverhampton Listed race in March and he faced a stiff task at Haydock three weeks ago; should give his running but could find one or two stronger back in handicap company. |

Back to the mark off which he won a 5f handicap at the May meeting; not had optimal conditions since but returning to 6f and dropping in class could see a revival from this eight-time course winner. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Eight course wins to his name, the latest in May (5f, good) off a 2lb lower mark; had form over 7f in his youth but this year's two C&D runs haven't been convincing. |
16/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Has won in Bahrain but all eight British wins have come at Chester (5f/6f); his last success was in May but he's gone backwards since and was beaten 14l in the Wokingham last time; now returns to Chester but he's drawn out wide and has something to prove back up in trip. |
