9st 6lb |
Has won on soft and yielding ground but best on good or quicker; beat Partisan Hero in a British-dominated Group 2 over C&D in July; ninth in the Nunthorpe, leaving him a bit to find with several of these. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft and yielding ground but best on good or quicker; came from the clouds before meeting trouble in running in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot, so did well to finish about 3l behind the winner; again came from behind when leading near the line in a Group 2 at the Curragh since; in prime form but those tactics can be hard to pull off here. |

British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage. |

6yo who has been campaigned over further for the majority of his career but he's been a progressive sprinter this season, finishing third in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good) on July 4 then runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) last time; however, this tougher race demands more. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

5yo front-runner who has been better than ever this year, comfortably winning a handicap at York (5f, good) in May and posting a fine fifth of 26 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); third behind fellow British raiders Cover Up and Partisan Hero over C&D in July; behind several of these at Goodwood. |

5yo front-runner who has been better than ever this year, comfortably winning a handicap at York (5f, good) in May and posting a fine fifth of 26 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month; third in Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) recently and he could build on those last two efforts, which were on stiff tracks, now on a downhill course; respected. |

9st 6lb |
Consistent British raider boasts a decent strike rate of 5-13 but her last four wins have come over 6f; finished a 1.5l fourth (a nose ahead of Jakajaro) over 5f in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time and there shouldn't be much between them again here; big player. |
4/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Successful over 5f in the very early days but three wins in her last four starts have all been over 6f, in Listed races at home and a Group 3 at Deauville; returns to this trip for the first time since beaten in a Listed event last July and others have much stronger claims. |

C&D maiden winner on debut; smart form when second in last year's Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; nothing comparable this year; some encouragement can be taken from his staying-on effort when seventh of 18 in the Group 1 Flying Five here a fortnight ago. |

Former top-class juvenile, six-time winner, four at this track, including the 2023 Phoenix Stakes and this race last year; finished behind Big Gossey and James Delight when fourth in the Greenlands here in May; failed to make much impact over 5f here last time; capable of a big run on his day. |

Last season's Cheveley Park runner up didn't have to be at her best to win the Group 3 Lacken Stakes here back in May; only beaten 2l when a fine fourth in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; didn't fire dropped to 5f in a Curragh Group 2 on latest; likely to rebound stepped back up in trip and gets 3yo weight allowance. |

3yo filly is 3-9 with all three of her wins coming over 5f/6f at Naas; won a Group 3 over the latter trip on her seasonal return (good) and outran her odds of 28-1 when a fine 2l fourth in the Commonwealth Cup (6f, gd-fm); gets all the allowances here and the drop back to 5f should pose no problems; big chance. |

C&D winner and beaten only a neck by Gazelle d'Or in this last year; returns off a 9lb higher mark, but better than ever this year and his latest run at Cork (Listed) can be forgiven. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever on turf this year, notably over C&D when winning Listed (beating Likedbymike) in June and good third under top-weight in handicap following month; ground on the quick side when unable to mount a challenge in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot earlier this month but back to favoured C&D and on easier ground seems sure to make a bold bid. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely. |
