4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races prominently (didn't when trying 1m4f last time); a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; has started 2026 in downbeat fashion but today's ground could prompt something better, as his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; below-form favourite in this race two years ago but was denied a clear run; needs to be back in peak form to have any chance. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins in 2024 included this race on good to soft, with the other three on soft; performed near his best only a couple of times last season, which has been followed by gelding and wind operations; also now wears first-time headgear; some warning signals and he's not slipped far in the weights. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |

Ended last season with a couple of soft-ground wins, including edging out Peace Man in this; back to near best when fourth off top weight in warm Glorious Goodwood handicap (good) and not disgraced when fifth in Longchamp Group 3 and Goodwood Listed event since; one of two solid contenders for connections. |

Minor honours in Group 3 and Listed race at Royal Ascot 2023 and 2024; however, he was not so hot at that meeting this year and finished last of six in 1m1f course Group 3 last time after a further four months off; plenty to prove at present. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first three races in France last year (twice from the front) and just 9-1 when brought over for the Derby but faded badly into tenth; just useful form since, best of three runs for new yard when 3l fourth of six in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) last time but he needs markedly better than that. |

Won his first three races in France last year and started just 9-1 when brought over for the Derby but faded badly into tenth; ran respectably over 1m1f (soft) in October on his only subsequent start for Francis Graffard but an also-ran in the UAE this year over 1m1f (Group 1) and 1m2f (Listed) on both starts since 300,000euros sale in November; plenty to prove. |

9st 11lb |
Two wins in light campaign last season (1m2f/1m4f, good to firm/good) and he easily made all on his reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May; has a 12lb rise to contend with in this hotter race but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; top yard has won this race three times. |

Ended last season firmly on the up with gutsy success in 1m4f Newmarket handicap in October; this low-mileage son of Sea The Stars has more to offer in 2026 and is well in the mix despite dropping in trip and up 6lb for his return. |

Off the mark on turf at this venue when last sighted in April (1m2f, yld-sft); 5lb higher now and best turf runs have come on easier ground than this so could probably do with some rain. |
9/2 |

32 (29) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Second reserve; has a largely solid record; better than ever this season, going close at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) then getting up close home at Leopardstown (1m2f, yielding to soft); may ideally need testing ground back down in trip; otherwise plausibly open to further progress. |

Solid in three handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and despite being beaten about 7l last time the headline-grabbing winner took up over six of them; looks likely to make his presence felt. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive 3yo for Andrew Balding in the first half of last year, culminating in a win in the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); changed hands for 775,000gns the following month; failed to settle and shaped as though he needed the run when a nevertheless-respectable sixth on last month's comeback and stable debut at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft); the first-time hood could help and he's an intriguing contender. |
11/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced on softer than good; London Gold Cup third at Newbury last May was a promising start to handicap life and he built on that with a last-gasp win from out the back at Royal Ascot (again 1m2f on good to firm); unraced since, having left Andrew Balding for 775,000gns that July and been gelded in September; 7lb higher than at Royal Ascot but he's had just six races. |

Reserve; form figures 121 at 1m4f on good to firm last May-August (not at this meeting) on his only appearances at Ascot; in career-best form over 1m4f at Epsom (good/soft) on his latest two outings, which sees him raised another 4lb today and into a much better race, but he's one to consider. |

Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again. |

9th 3 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Very close to his best when beating 13 others to land Newbury handicap in April and he made all at Epsom (also 1m2f, good) ten days later; may have been fortunate to beat a subsequently impressive winner on the latter occasion, however, and this career-high mark demands a fair bit more. |

Won a C&D novice (good to firm) for William Haggas last July and was third of 19 in a York handicap (10.3f, good) in his final run last season; well held on stable debut at Lingfield last month but he shaped as though he needed the run and that form has been well advertised by the first two since; dangerous if he can get back near best. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten on his last 12 starts going back to May 2024 but he's run some big races in the meantime, including when beaten a head in this last year (good to firm) off the same mark as today; reappeared with solid sixth of 24 on stable debut in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good); can be in the mix. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
In and out last season for Michael Bell, the high points coming when second in big fields at York (good to firm) in May and the Curragh (good to yielding) in September; all his best efforts have come over 1m2f so today's shorter distance is a concern but it's possible he'll be freshened up by a change of stable (same owner). |

He's 0-7 in handicaps but runner-up in three, including when short-headed in this race last year (good to firm) and when returning to form at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time; could be bang there once more. |

Sole success came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo, though he twice finished runner-up last year, including at York (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) in October; didn't enjoy the smoothest run and far from disgraced in good Newbury handicap on reappearance; likely to go well. |

Won two of his first four starts before missing the second half of last season; made an eye-catching reappearance from well off the pace this April and went mighty close when he reverted to front-running over that same Newbury 1m2f (good) on latest outing; tongue tied first time in the latter; 5lb rise sees claimer Mason Paetel recruited; leading player. |
