15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent when winning 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) last month, leading 2f out and keeping on well; all his successes have come at that distance but under these quick conditions he should be fine back at 7f; unbeaten at Newbury and has to be considered now that he's back in top form. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Reaching the veteran stage of his career but still capable of smart form; however, it's a long time since he contested a Group 1 and he was beaten by Kind Of Blue in an AW conditions race last time. |
25/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
The most recent of his six wins came in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May 2024; his first three runs this summer were good, including when a neck third of 27 in the Stewards' Cup (6f, good to firm), but he beat only one home in a heavy-ground Group 3 in France last month; runner-up on his only race on the AW and he could bounce back, albeit with this race not guaranteed to be run to suit. |

3rd 4 (25) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He hasn't had a great deal of racing since July 2024 but, two wind surgeries and a gelding operation later, he has shown he retains a good chunk of his former ability (Group 2 winner at best) this year, in a tongue-tie on last two starts; finished just behind Soldier's Tree when fifth in the Wokingham (6f, good to firm) but was in front of that rival in a Group 3 at Newbury two weeks ago; 3lb well in and has the ability to feature but his tendency to forfeit ground at the start isn't ideal in a race of this depth. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Talented sprint handicapper; back to form when fourth in a big field at York last Saturday, but he's up steeply in grade here and his stable has two far more obvious candidates; wears headgear for the first time. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Got going too late in the Silver Cup 12 months ago but went on to run out an impressive winner at York (6f, good) three weeks later; looked a prime candidate for a major handicap on that occasion and his return to action at York's Dante meeting (6f, good), when finishing with a flourish having raced away from the main action, did little to dispel that notion; two fast-ground runs since have both been perfectly serviceable and today's return to slower ground could be the catalyst for him to fulfil his potential. |
4/1 |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Ran a career best over this C&D when third in the 2024 Group 1 Commonwealth Cup, but he often spoils his chance these days by pulling too hard; only sixth in Group 3 here two weeks ago and he meets stronger opposition today. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has been a high flyer over this C&D in his time and he wasn't far away in the Group 1 July Cup on his final start in 2025; this year hasn't been going so well but he's had wind surgery since last seen in July and some sort of revival is on the cards; yard runs three. |

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. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won a valuable sales race at last season's Ebor meeting; improved performer this year, winning a Listed event at Newbury (6f, good) before a close seventh in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; disappointed at Newbury two weeks ago when reportedly finding the ground too fast; a penalty could leave him vulnerable today. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

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. |
