19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to Flat with an eye-catching effort at Royal Ascot (2m4f); going back down to 1m6f didn't look a problem at Glorious Goodwood (again good to firm) 18 days ago but he suffered a nightmare passage before running on into second of 13 (Valedictory fifth); a 4lb rise adds salt to the wounds but he could still have a big chance. |

1m4f festival wins off much lower marks at Chester and Epsom last July when trained by the Moores; returned to Flat with an eye-catching effort at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm; 12-1) last month, turning for home towards rear but running on into sixth of 20; back down in trip but one to note. |

1m4f festival wins off much lower marks at Chester and Epsom preceded his 100,000gns purchase last July; two Flat runs (including 2m Irish Cesarewitch) last autumn didn't work out but there was encouragement to be drawn from his two hurdle races last month (second on latest) and he scored over an extended 1m6f in 2024; not entirely dismissed, from stable which runs seven. |

Missed 2025; has mostly been coming from well off the pace this term and that yielded a win at Thirsk (2m, good) in May and he ended up on the heels of the leaders in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (2m, good to firm) when next seen 11 days ago; 5lb claimer takes over in what looks a tougher race. |

8st 13lb |
Maiden winner who was on the premises in all six handicaps, albeit managing only sixth of 20 when favourite for Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (upped to 2m) penultimate start on AW debut; on the heels of Shrimp Shady at Newbury latest; pretty reliable but needs to find extra for the win. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Maiden winner who's been on the premises in all his five handicaps, albeit managing only sixth of 20 from midfield when clear favourite for the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (upped to 2m) last time on AW debut; no handicap win but he's been pretty reliable and this race is a lot less competitive. |
3/1 |
|
6th 15 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won 1m2f maiden last June; on the premises in all his four handicaps, coming from off the pace when second at Haydock (1m6f) on final 3yo start and when third at Hamilton (1m5f; gelded and hooded) on reappearance six weeks ago; relatively lightly raced, so could have further improvement in him and 2m is plausible for this AW debut. |

Ex-Polish/German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024; took a while to find his level in Irish handicaps but decisively landed a gamble in a 24-runner race at the Curragh (1m6f, good) in May; mid-field over longer trips in the Ascot Stakes and at Galway, closer to his best when fourth at York. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Ex-Polish and German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024; took a while to find his level in Irish handicaps but decisively landed a gamble in a 24-runner race at the Curragh (1m6f, good) in May; should stay this far but never threatened at Royal Ascot (2m4f, sole start on officially good to firm) next time and weakened right out of it at Galway (2m1f) on latest, which leaves him with something to prove again. |

Largely consistent; ran respectably in 2m contest at the York Ebor festival on belated reappearance; creditable effort (off 1lb higher) in this race last year took his Goodwood record to 2313; solid chance. |
15/8 |

5th 8 (12) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive in 2023, 2024 and 2025; that included getting pipped in the 2024 Cesarewitch (2m2f, soft) and two big runs last year at Goodwood; runner-up in his 2024 and 2025 reappearances, though not in such good races as this one; would have a lot more to prove on good to firm ground than good or softer, but this 2026 return is off a competitive mark. |

9st 5lb |
All turf starts on good/good to firm; cheekpieces and moving up to 1m6f worked a treat initially with wins at Goodwood and Newmarket, but he looked hard work when a fair fifth at the big Goodwood meeting and blinkers over 2m didn't work at York last time; kinks remain and he now tries a visor. |
100/30 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Stepping up to 1m6f with cheekpieces enlisted resulted in wins at Goodwood (good) and Newmarket (good to firm); that's not ironed out all the kinks, though, as he looked hard work at Glorious Goodwood 18 days ago on his way to a fair fifth of 13, with Small Fry in second; probably needs to resume improvement on this first go at 2m but he's one to be reckoned with if first-time blinkers receive the same response that first-time cheekpieces did. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |

0-9 on turf; that's despite some good form last year but his best two runs this season were on AW, latterly when winning at Southwell in July on his step up to 2m; that came by 13l in a five-runner race but he failed to fire in anything like that manner when back on turf at York (2m, good). |

0-8 on turf; that's despite some good form last year but his best two runs this season were on AW, latterly when winning at Southwell early last month on his step up to 2m; that came by 13l in a five-runner race; has a 6lb higher mark in this very different contest but he's unexposed at the trip. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |

Has some good form on turf but latest defeat took his record in that sphere to 0-8; two attempts on AW comprise a win at Lingfield (1m2f) on debut and keeping-on third at Kempton (1m4f) in May; unexposed on artificial surfaces and looks interesting assuming he stays the new trip. |

Won the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May and beat Team Player by a nose to score at Newbury in July; another step forward when second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot (again 2m on good to firm) 11 days ago and a 1lb rise surely won't prevent another bold show. |

Won the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May on return to turf and went in again last time at Newbury (2m, good to firm), where it was hard work in the end but he travelled strongly deep into the race; only 3lb higher and hasn't had a lot of racing. |

Pretty consistent in seven AW runs and well backed when leading final 1f to win the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May on return to turf; failed to live up to favouritism in another consolation race at Newcastle (2m Vase, AW) three weeks ago but that sixth of 20 off this mark was his best form, so he remains one to be interested in. |

With tongue-tie enlisted he's hit major new heights for new yard this year, with two wins preceding his excellent fifth of 15 in the 2m2f Chester Cup; comes from off the pace but never got seriously involved wearing first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 20 as second favourite in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m); needs to bounce back from that pretty disappointing show. |

1m4f Flat winner at last year's Galway festival and took a maiden hurdle this January; that's from 14 races for Donnacha O'Brien, for whom he was a promising third of 24 to Westminster Moon (1m6f, good) in May and a fair fifth over 2m in June; not beaten far when ninth in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot but that shows he needs marked improvement in today's first-time visor (1-8 in cheekpieces), replacing a tongue-tie. |

Hurdle/Flat winner; ran in snatches when a 5l fifth in a 2m fast-ground handicap at the Curragh on what proved to be his final start for Donnacha O'Brien; that last run was his first on ground quicker than good and he does like the mud. |

Very hit and miss across his four starts this season and well beaten at York (2m, good) last month; however, he's posted two comfortable wins in small fields this term (1m4f/2m, good/soft) and this two-time course winner is not written off with the forecast slow ground in his favour. |

Thorough Flat stayer who reappeared this spring with a career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) and a creditable third in 3m hurdle race; good ground looked okay for him last season but a muted display at Royal Ascot nine weeks ago perhaps confirmed that anything firmer is not ideal; either way, another career best is needed today. |
