8st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a good season and his Ascot win (6f, good to firm) in August is solid form; well beaten behind a few of these at York four weeks ago, though; ran okay on soft at this meeting last year. |

9st 3lb |
He has not looked back since dropping to 6f in May, winning three times including an impressive success at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; two solid C&D runs on his record too but a 6lb rise since Ascot, allied to slower ground, could find him out; the only 3yo in the field and that age group have won the last two renewals. |

Thriving since dropped to 6f, winning at Ripon and Hamilton in May and then performing with great credit in hot sprint handicaps on his last three starts; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be bang there once again. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win in AW maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; saw off 21 rivals on his handicap debut at York (again 6f, good) in June and posted creditable placed efforts off 6lb higher on his next two starts; up a further 2lb but he's not fully exposed and this return to 7f (one run on debut) is firmly in range on pedigree; plenty to like. |
6/5 |

2nd 9 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Easy win in a 6f maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; made light of his opening mark when seeing off 21 rivals in a 6f handicap at York (good) in June; unable to justify favouritism in a hot Newmarket handicap last month but the ground was the fastest he has faced and he didn't look entirely at ease, doing well to take third as things panned out; that form looks strong and he remains with serious potential; of obvious interest if the going is deemed suitable. |
7/4 |

3rd 8 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Came on plenty over the winter, easily winning a 6f Kempton AW maiden on comeback, then saw off a big field on handicap debut at York (6f, good) in June; he ended with a little up his sleeve at York and a 6lb rise isn't harsh for one who can improve further for this stiffer test at the trip. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Unplaced in his two attempts at sprinting this summer but he hasn't run badly on either occasion; could have a bigger effort brewing. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
All six runs have been at 7f, winning an AW novice last summer; had wind and gelding operations prior to his reappearance at Newbury (good) in April and ran well for third; filled the same spot in a handicap here six weeks ago; improvement essential now tackling 5f in a red-hot handicap; tongue-tie enlisted. |

Made a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; flopped behind Thunder Call at York eight weeks ago; that run casts a shadow but he still has low mileage and could well rebound. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
6f novice win as a 2yo; better form when fourth in a Listed race at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) in March but less good twice since; 7f and heavy ground are valid excuses for the last two runs and he is not yet fully exposed. |
20/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Good fourth in Chantilly Listed contest (6.5f, AW) last month, despite having been absent since midfield effort in the 2025 Coventry; chance of landing this useful race partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear; steps up a tad further in trip. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary. |

Won a novice at Leicester (6f, good) last October and was runner-up in a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in her final 2yo run; several creditable efforts in Listed/Group 3 events this season but she's been well held switched to handicaps in her last two starts; had some traffic issues at York last time but she's now 1-11 and others are more persuasive. |

Smart 2yo, including a Royal Ascot win (5f, good to firm); 0-5 this year but he has run some solid races, including here; gelded prior to a poor run in the Shergar Cup here four weeks ago (finished lame); tongue tied/blinkered for the first time (has run well in cheekpieces). |

Useful 2yo, winning the Windsor Castle over 5f here last June and running creditably in Group 2 company on a couple of occasions; he has offered more than enough this year to think he had trained on and his mark is slowly dropping; gelded since latest start and one to consider back up to 6f; cheekpieces worn on last two starts are now discarded. |

Won a big-field sales race at Newmarket for Oliver Cole last October; the handicapper has been in command this year and his stable debut five weeks ago was especially underwhelming; King Of Light looks stable's main hope. |

Two wins as a 2yo, notably a sales race at Newmarket (7f, good); not so good in 2026 but his mark is easing; hooded for this first run for Stuart Williams (sold out of Oliver Cole's yard for 65,000gns last month). |

9st 7lb |
Won 6f novice events at Yarmouth (soft) and Leicester (good to firm) this summer; favourite when fifth of 18 over 6f at Thirsk 22 days ago but it was still a respectable start to his handicap career; pedigree suggests this return to 7f should be in his favour and he's still unexposed; yard also runs Bobby Bennu. |

New Bay colt who has improved a chunk with each of his three runs, comfortably bagging 6f novices at Yarmouth and Leicester this summer; this is no easy introduction to handicaps but he still rates an interesting prospect for top yard. |

3yo who made all in eight-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) in June and rallied to follow up at Sandown (5f, good), beating four rivals; down the field at Glorious Goodwood last time but he's back into a smaller field today and could give it a good go from the front. |
