11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025, posting a personal best when narrowly beating Witness Stand in the latter; didn't shine back from a lengthy absence at Haydock in May, but he shaped as though he needed that run and has leading claims if he can get back near his best here; key player in his bid to make it 3-4 at Chester. |

Won the same Listed event at Chester in 2023 (soft) and 2025 (good), posting a personal best in latter; not seen since but he has plenty of form when fresh and cannot be ruled out. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting in 2024; campaigned over 7f-1m since that November; reappeared at Haydock (7f, good) last month having been gelded and powered clear for impressive Listed win; the drop back to 6f poses a question but the stiff track and strong pace will be in his favour, and he could have a part to play. |

1st 6 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the Group 2 Gimcrack as a 2yo and finished second in the Group 1 City Of York (7f, good to firm) last August; made no show in two Group 1s in Australia in the autumn and he's since been gelded; returns in a much lower grade than usual and very dangerous if ready to roll after six months off. |

1-1 on AW, namely a 7f novice a Kempton last March; recorded a big personal best when winning the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) and his two defeats since have been excusable; tough task trying to give weight away back sprinting after 133 days off. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Group 2 in Ireland in July 2024; not added to that success since but he has run well in two of his three starts this time round, latterly finishing third of eight in a Group 3 at Epsom (7f, good to soft); drops in trip for his AW debut. |

3rd 6 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Group 2 winner at the Curragh (7f, good) in July 2024 and runner-up in two 7f Group races last autumn (very soft/good); not at his best on his two runs this season but each-way claims if back on song today. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Not totally solid on his form since 150-1 success when pacemaker in last year's Sussex Stakes (1m, good); however, looks interesting back down in trip, with his 7f record reading 1211225 (ran creditably behind Never So Brave in C&D Group 1 the final time); fitting of tongue-tie may also contribute to a resurgence. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Not totally solid on his form since 150-1 success when pacemaker in last year's Sussex Stakes (1m, good); below par in Listed grade in sole run this season; however, record of 3-3 at Goodwood bodes well for this first visit to Epsom, which is a fairly similar track; return to best is plausible. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to fire in French Listed race last time; broadly progressive in handicaps and went close in the Lincoln when bidding for a five-timer (ran creditably in Spring Cup next time); however, chance partly depends on the weather, as he's ideally suited by ground softer than good. |

5th 11 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 4yo; 5-6 over 7f but showed he's just as effective at 1m when making Urban Lion pull out all the stops in the Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft) three weeks ago; 1lb better off for a nose defeat and there should be little between the pair again. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |

2nd 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner on soft ground who won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) last July before excellent second in the Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August; he's lost his form on his last four starts but perhaps wind surgery will have done the trick; wears a first-time tongue-tie and capable of having a big say if rediscovering his best. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Quite a progressive sort on AW and has gained both wins over 7f at Kempton, including in Class 4 handicap latest start; soundly beaten in both turf attempts, always behind in the 2,000 Guineas on second occasion; plenty to find and plenty to prove back in this sphere. |
150/1 |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has been competitive or more when away from Group company and a strongly run race back at 7f should suit; others still appeal more from a handicapping perspective. |
