26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
He hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he is a tough and reliable performer who was as good as ever with his excellent second of eight in a Group 2 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago; sets the standard and looks the one to beat. |

2nd 3 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made a solid return to Britain when chasing home Jonquil in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May but comfortably held in the Royal Hunt Cup back here since; has yet to win above Group 3 level and it's likely that will remain the case. |

10st 0lb |
Runner-up in C&D Listed contest last time, maintaining his consistency; Royal Ascot record includes a debut success in the 2022 Chesham and creditable fifth (off 7lb lower) in this race in 2024; Jack Nicholls takes off a useful 5lb; solid contender who again should give his running. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Slow ground would be a worry (non-runner due to unsuitable good to soft here on Thursday) and he's unraced over this far; however, this front-runner has an extremely solid record in 1m handicaps here and was a Group 2 runner-up at Ascot (1m) last July; capable of bold bid if conditions suit. |

2nd 3 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; successful in this race in 2024 but that wide-margin win represents his last victory; solid fourth in a good York handicap in May; should be in the thick of it. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; won a Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) in January and two creditable efforts in Listed events at Pontefract this summer, but she looks on a tough mark now and her tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; down the list. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Regularly makes the frame and she ran up to her best when third in Listed race at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; this is tougher but she still has each-way possibilities. |

Not far behind Crystal Flyer when fourth in a fillies' Listed event over C&D 19 days ago; this is a deeper race though. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Uncharacteristically below par at Ascot recently but was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup; he's run really well in defeat under Danny Tudhope in some hot handicaps this year and was second in this last season (good to firm); versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with a big performance. |
16/1 |

9th 1 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Finished second behind Ebt's Guard in this race 12 months ago when rated 14lb lower; he has earned his lofty rating since then, winning twice at Goodwood last autumn and recording a career-best RPR when second of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood eight days ago; another big run anticipated. |

2nd 1 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Blew his chance at the start in most recent handicap attempt but generally consistent otherwise in the last year and ties in with several of today's rivals on Royal Hunt Cup form; 2-2 at Goodwood and looks interesting back here despite remaining on a career-high mark. |

Back to her best when 66-1 second in a fillies' Listed event over C&D 19 days ago; this represents a much stiffer assignment. |

|
2nd 7 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Placed just once in 13 starts since her latest success and finished behind a couple of these on her third start for the yard in the Kensington Palace at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; down the list. |

11th 14 (2) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Consistent for Tom Ward in 2025; weakened quickly when tailed off in 1m4f Goodwood Listed race on return for new yard and, under a change of tactics, went off way too hard in 1m1f Hamilton handicap since; hooded first time; lots to prove. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; close third in a handicap at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 12 months ago represents her best form but it is still a level or two beneath what will be required today; hood (tried on final 3yo start) returns. |
40/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Made all to win Wolverhampton maiden last June (8.5f) and was a close third in a Goodwood handicap for fillies next time (1m2f, good); first run on fast ground and first run of the season, but could go well. |
