18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Still below best when third at Newcastle (AW debut) last time but that was something of resurgence; progressive spell culminated in wins over C&D (Listed) and at Haydock (Group 2) in May 2025; possibilities provided he returns to that sort of form. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Useful on turf, recording peak RPR when landing a Group 2 at Haydock (6f, good) last May; not at his best in two runs in Dubai this winter; switch to AW shouldn't be an issue and he has the ability to feature. |

8th 14 (8) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Stablemate of Notable Speech; suited by good/firmer; has a very impressive record (161111) over 6f, narrowly justifying favouritism in the Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock most recently; beat Ides Of March at Newbury (Listed) a week earlier; unable to run in the Commonwealth Cup due to being a gelding; major contender, with further improvement plausible kept to this trip and back from a well-earned break (had a busy May). |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very lightly raced in recent times but latest effort, namely fifth in the Wokingham, suggests he retains a very useful level of ability aged seven; however, needs to prove he's still capable of peak form, which includes Group wins at Newbury and the Curragh. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (27) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Classy in his prime when winning a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; acts on good to firm) in May 2024; only intermittently raced since owing to physical issues and his latest comeback, at Doncaster in March, ended badly; however, he's had a second wind surgery since and is now tongue tied, so judgement suspended with his trainer bullish ahead of this first handicap run. |
40/1 |

12th 8 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Pounced late under Jamie Spencer to snatch Curragh Group 2 (6f, good) in May 2024, but has raced only three times since, last seen finishing a respectable second in AW Listed event at Lingfield in February 2025; others carry fewer risks but he's no forlorn hope if ready to roll after 419 days off. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly progressive 4yo whose form in notable handicaps suggests he could develop into a Group horse; went close on reappearance in his bid for a York double, then finished a respectable sixth when favourite for the Wokingham at Royal Ascot; remains of major interest. |
7/2 |

6th 6 (22) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Respectable C&D form last September when third of 19 but he's been at his most impressive on flatter tracks so far, as when crushing his rivals at Ayr (good to soft) and York (good) as a 3yo; returned to action with a mighty effort on the latter track in May, when only just failing to reel in a well-treated front-runner; major chance if reproducing the form back here, despite going up 5lb since, as his star is still rising. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Promising 3yo last season and things clicked in a major way with a dominant win in a big-field C&D handicap (good) last October when last seen; he's entered in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and this lightly raced sort is in excellent hands to continue to progress; strong contender. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has an underwhelming strike-rate for a horse of his ability and losing spell goes back over two years; that said, has spent over half of his career in Group 1 races, best effort when third in the 2024 Commonwealth Cup; drops back in class after a heavy defeat at this year's Royal Ascot. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Third in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting in 2024; however, he's failed to win since; opposable once more. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Far from disgraced in last three appearances (various grades) but finished behind some of today's rivals in those contests and needs to raise his game somewhat; on a ten-race losing sequence that goes back to Group 3 honours two years ago. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Clear best in the 2025 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f) but was pulled up (lost action) in only subsequent start last term and has failed to show his form this year; drop back to 6f had no effect last time; enough to prove. |
16/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
7f AW win as a 2yo; enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 12 months ago; only seen twice since, pulling up at Goodwood last July and then finishing a remote last of five in a French Group 3 (soft ground) last month; not solid but he'll be a danger to all if back near that Jersey Stakes form. |
11/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Left his previous form way behind when a commanding winner of the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); he needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off but the runner-up has since gone well in the July Cup and this 3yo is entitled to respect. |

Sole 3yo in this field; largely progressive colt whose form features wins in York sales race as a 2yo and C&D Listed event on penultimate outing; creditable seventh in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot latest; may have more to offer back down in class; major player. |
5/1 |

7th 13 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a sales race at York (6f, good to firm) last August and his form went to a new level when an all-the-way Listed winner at Newbury (6f, good) last month, narrowly from Albert Einstein; this is his first Group-race assignment and further improvement is needed but he's an each-way possible. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Posted good performances (won/second) in sales races last term and ran creditably off top weight in Newmarket handicap (6f, good) on reappearance; however, has something to find on ratings in this field. |
