3rd 4 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent when winning 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) last month, leading 2f out and keeping on well; all his successes have come at that distance but under these quick conditions he should be fine back at 7f; unbeaten at Newbury and has to be considered now that he's back in top form. |

1st 6 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Still below best when third at Newcastle (AW debut) last time but that was something of resurgence; progressive spell culminated in wins over C&D (Listed) and at Haydock (Group 2) in May 2025; possibilities provided he returns to that sort of form. |

Course legend has won 10 of his 12 races at this track and amassed 575,000GBP in prizemoney; has won twice at Listed level this season and second in a Group 2; however, wasn't himself when eased and well beaten last time; has run well in defeat in this race for the last two years but the trip stretches him and is vulnerable again. |

Won this last year (good); in and out since but he returned to form with a win in the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; showed promise on sole encounter with good to soft ground (unraced on softer); entitled to respect. |

Handicap wins at the Curragh (5f, soft/heavy) and Navan (5f, good) this year; fully effective at 6f but he will need much more than when well beaten in last season's Silver Cup; blinkers make their debut. |

Former top-class juvenile, six-time winner, four at this track, including the 2023 Phoenix Stakes and this race last year; finished behind Big Gossey and James Delight when fourth in the Greenlands here in May; failed to make much impact over 5f here last time; capable of a big run on his day. |

8st 12lb |
Successful on second start for current yard when taking premier Habitat Handicap over C&D in May; bit underwhelming both starts since here, never counting after an awkward start in Scurry Handicap and not pace to challenge back to 5f behind Rosie Frith last month. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (14) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |

Added to two British 7f wins when bagging the Habitat Handicap (6f, good) here in May on second start for new yard; another solid display over 7f at Cork next time; never got involved after slipping coming out of the gates in the Scurry Handicap last time (6.5f, good to firm); firmly in the mix but not certain to appreciate this first try at the minimum trip. |

9st 5lb |
Third in 6f Group races at the Curragh on his last two starts (good/good to firm), most recently behind Big Mojo; he likes slow ground but that's not enough of a positive to suggest he'll be a serious player today, as he has quite a bit to find with the principals. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won last year's Greenlands Stakes here, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn; out of the money on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; more like it in his repeat bid in the Greenlands, splitting Big Gossey and Bucanero Fuerte; relatively light campaign may stand to him now. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Group 1-class sprinter at his best but it's been a struggle this season since an encouraging start at Listed level and he now has his sights lowered for a first crack at a handicap; has a lot of weight and perhaps better at 6f than 5f. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Has an underwhelming strike-rate for a horse of his ability and losing spell goes back over two years; that said, has spent over half of his career in Group 1 races, best effort when third in the 2024 Commonwealth Cup; drops back in class after a heavy defeat at this year's Royal Ascot. |

Three Curragh wins include two premier handicaps at 5f and has added two wins this season at Naas; holding his form well, including Scurry fourth to Sondad and staying on fourth to Bear On The Run under top-weight over today's C&D; booking of talented 7lb claimer could prove a shrewd move. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

7f and Cork not really his bag, so not a bad effort at all when beaten less than 2l in Listed company last time; previous fourth of 20 in British-dominated Scurry handicap was creditable too, and will have every chance if he gets the right set-up. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Has recorded six of his eight wins over 5f, including last year's Rockingham Handicap; twice successful at 6f; now attempting this trip for the first time; has run well in Listed sprints this term and won a Naas conditions event before a creditable fourth of 20 in the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh. |

Won the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f, soft) in 2024 and has finished second in the last two runnings of this race (good); also runner-up in Group 2 Minster Stakes at York (6f, good) on this season's reappearance; merely mid-division at Royal Ascot in June last time (6f, good to firm) but getting back on slower ground should help; he's firmly in calculations. |

Best known for AW exploits, but is effective on turf; not a bad effort on seasonal return in the Habitat Handicap when 2.25l behind the winner Headmaster (6f, good); good second at Navan next time, but his latest two runs have been below-par, including when well beaten over 6.5f here last time; blinkers return and replace the visor worn that day. |

Debut winner at two on soft and later beat this year's 1,000 Guineas heroine True Love in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes (6f, good); no more than minor roles in three 1m Group 1s this season before justifying favouritism when his sights were lowered in a Curragh Group 2 last month (7f, good to firm); he didn't exactly blow his rivals away that day and he's probably playing for the places, for all that a fast-run race at 7f might be his ideal scenario these days. |
