11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
2-2 in last season's first campaign (1m, AW) and he built upon his comeback run with a close second in a first-time hood (retained) at Sandown (1m, good) last month; his finishing effort last time suggests this step up in trip could prompt further improvement; due a 3lb rise and he's one to consider. |

Two from two (on AW) in his first season last year; paid the price for going too freely when beaten favourite in C&D handicap (good) on reappearance but may settle better with the outing under his belt and hood now fitted; still open to further progress and remains of interest. |

9st 10lb |
Dual winner here (both on good to firm) who was sixth in this last year and was runner-up to Warrant Holder over C&D (good) this May; soundly beaten at Royal Ascot since but he's an each-way possible back at York. |
18/1 |

Back to form with second at the York Dante festival (good) in the 1m2f event he'd won 12 months earlier; before racing over longer trips he was a three-time 1m winner and ran creditably in major handicap over C&D once; may remain competitive. |

9st 3lb |
Campaigned over 1m1f/1m2f for current yard; beat Fifth Column by half a length at Newmarket (good to firm) in sole run this season, ending a five-year losing spell and showing he retains plenty of ability aged eight; has form claims but doesn't seem to be crying out for this return to 1m. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Easily first home in his near-side group when strong-finishing fourth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire over C&D (good to firm) in September; just 1lb higher today and that wasn't his only solid performance in a good handicap last term, so he could be a major each-way player. |

Improvement in each of his three races this term; strong finishes when winning at Leopardstown (1m2f, yielding to soft) on second occasion and second of 11 there (1m1f, good; unraced on firmer) on latest, so it's not hard to believe that he remains capable of better; greatly respected. |

Off the mark on turf at this venue when last sighted in April (1m2f, yld-sft); 5lb higher now and best turf runs have come on easier ground than this so could probably do with some rain. |

Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, the most recent in Bahrain; well held in major handicap returned to home soil last time; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; Lexie Clarkson claims 7lb but has limited experience. |
25/1 |
|
18th 9 (21) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten in Bahrain in February when last seen and a wide draw could prove tough for this front-runner; however, he won two C&D handicaps last summer (good/good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet in Bahrain in January; unbeaten at York and could make a bold bid at a big price. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive 3yo for Andrew Balding in the first half of last year, culminating in a 1m2f handicap win at Royal Ascot (good to firm); sold for 775,000gns the following month but not seen again until well held in major 1m2f handicaps this summer at Epsom and York; hooded in the latter when getting hampered over 1f out contributed but he did not look like playing a major part at the time; player if surging back to his best. |
10/1 |
|
13th 8 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive 3yo for Andrew Balding in the first half of last year, culminating in a win in the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); changed hands for 775,000gns the following month; failed to settle and shaped as though he needed the run when a nevertheless-respectable sixth on last month's comeback and stable debut at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft); the first-time hood could help and he's an intriguing contender. |

Third in 1m1f Listed race on reappearance and a rallying sixth of 16 in 1m2f handicap at Royal Ascot; drop back to 1m was probably against him on latest start but he's pretty exposed compared to many of today's rivals. |
16/1 |
|
12th 16 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

3yo who is capable of useful form, most recently a rallying sixth in Royal Ascot handicap (1m2f); however, he still hasn't added to his early 2yo success and isn't crying out for this drop back in trip. |

9st 1lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April and respectable fifth of 15 to Warrant Holder over this C&D (good) in May; the return to Epsom maybe didn't suit latest (well beaten) but he needs to bounce back with a career best. |
50/1 |
|
12th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
6yo who has a career-high mark on the strength of his win at Pontefract (1m2f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in April; creditable fifth at York next time but the chief disincentive is probably that he ran poorly in this race last year on his only visit to Epsom. |

0-8 in handicaps but runner-up in three (two at 1m2f) and ran respectably when fourth at Newmarket on latest start; short of room when well held at this meeting last year; new cheekpieces join the tongue-tie. |

Scored twice in 2024 and three times in 2025; gradually back to form this season, creditable second in useful handicap at York (1m) most recently; appears to be on his way to regaining the winning thread and looks a must for the shortlist. |

Can race freely and hooded for his last two races at York, in the latest finishing a highly respectable third (promoted from fourth) in the John Smith's Cup (extended 1m2f; good to firm) for which he was 4lb well in; now 3lb higher and surprisingly goes without any headgear, but he's got some momentum behind him. |

Has been headstrong in the past and he returned to form in a first-time hood (retained) with a close second of 16 over C&D (good) four weeks ago; today's company is tougher but he seems to like it here and remains well treated on last season's best efforts; due a 4lb rise; each-way chance. |

Two wins (1m1f/1m, good) for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year; runner-up at Chester (7f, good) in his second run for current yard but he's posted three duck eggs since; well handicapped on his best form but he needs to get back on track with blinkers added. |

4yo who was making his seventh start when winning at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April; two lesser runs have followed but it wasn't a bad effort at Sandown last time and the fact he excelled at Epsom bodes well for today's first visit to Goodwood, which has similarities; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

Bounced back from a lesser effort when narrowly beaten in a first-time tongue-tie at Redcar (1m, good) in June before winning at York (1m2f, good) next time; won't mind this drop back in trip and holds claims off this 4lb higher mark. |

Appeared to be found wanting for stamina over C&D two runs back but that was a warm handicap and he's since gone down narrowly in a Class 3 over 1m at Redcar (good; new tongue-tie), where he wasn't stopping; races up with the pace and firmly in the reckoning. |
