1st 2 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dual Group 3 scorer at Sandown (1m2f) and Goodwood (1m4f) in 2025; resumed from six months off with a very good second of six in Newbury's John Porter Stakes in April so this veteran looks the one to beat dropped into Listed company here. |

2nd 3 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held up; eight Group 3 wins are already in the bag, including this race in 2021 (his only appearance in it); has a slightly mixed reappearance record but he was almost as good as ever with his two wins last term, including first time out, and a return to that level would make this 9yo the one to beat. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in this race (good to firm); showed enough to think he retains all his ability when third in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good) on reappearance 25 days ago; could reach the frame in this again. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unlucky second at Glorious Goodwood in 2024 when bidding for a notable 1m2f handicap double; best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in Listed grade at Royal Ascot; should be thereabouts, provided he's in top form after ten-month layoff. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Sold on the eve of this meeting last year for £2,000,000 and finished a creditable third to Rebel's Romance and Al Riffa in the Group 2 Hardwicke (1m4f, good to firm) a few days later; withdrawn after rearing over being saddled up on an intended start at last year's Newmarket July meeting; subsequently left Clive Cox and hasn't been seen since. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten on last eight starts having gone 3-3 in 2yo campaign (including here and in Group 2); however, the first seven of those defeats were in Group 1 races, with some very creditable performances, and he produced another when third in the Group 2 Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month with Palladium just over 1l further back in fourth; leading claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very useful gelding who landed 9.5f handicap in Meydan in March; posted a good fourth in Goodwood Listed event in May but last of six in similar company there (1m4f) last month; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Missed 2025; started this season at Meydan and Longchamp but returned to British soil with career-best form 16 days ago when a close fourth of nine in 1m2f Listed race at this track; more to prove on softer than good and this is also his first appearance beyond 1m2f, but that latest run gave some encouragement; either way he needs to find a bit extra. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of very useful form but he is 0-12 since landing a major handicap at Newbury over two years ago and was unplaced in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last month; supplemented at a cost of £50,000, possibly to act as pacemaker for fellow Wathnan Racing runner Gethin. |
66/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
No win since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long. |

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. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Off 11 months after tailing off in a Group 2 at this meeting last year; shaped promisingly on handicap debut over C&D on return and firmly in charge through the final 2f at Carlisle (1m3f, again good to firm) three weeks later; trying to avoid trouble in running from stall 1 looks a headache today but zero shock if the 8lb rise underestimates him. |

1st 6 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; good fourth in Listed race at Goodwood last spring; gelded and off 11 months, shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, doing his best work late on; nudged up 1lb but still looks seriously unexposed; strong claims. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Down Royal maiden winner last June (10.5f, good); ran well in 1m2f handicap here last October and just 1lb higher here; shaped like coming back to form when keeping on from the back over 1m2f here latest; bred to stay this far; could go well. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Consistent last season; ended with C&D second behind today's rival Retracement on handicap debut; jumping let her down in juvenile hurdles; sharpened for return to the Flat by a handicap run at the Punchestown festival. |
