1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Fifth of 16 in this last year in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently and he's been in career-best form at Sandown on his last two starts, posting a win (1m, good) and a very creditable third of 12 (1m2f, good); could be involved. |

9st 9lb |
Usually gives his running and won with a bit in hand over 1m here two weeks ago (1m, good); goes further this afternoon and off a career-high mark (4lb higher), so likely to need more. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
A handicapping case can be made on last year's Irish form but he's been slow to get going for this yard and a wide stall is unlikely to help him stage a revival. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Listed runner-up for Ger Lyons last May (7f, good) but well beaten on final two starts for that yard and same story on last month's stable debut in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot; may be best watched for now. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Raised only 2lb for his wins at Nottingham in May and Newmarket last time, so looks likely to remain competitive, especially as he's a dual Goodwood scorer. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His wins have come on good or heavy ground but he's effective on good to firm; has been and up down since his win at Glorious Goodwood last summer but he scored at Nottingham (8.3f) in May and backed that up with a creditable fifth in a big field at Epsom the following month; returns after a short break but he could go well on this drop back in grade. |

Won at Redcar (1m) in April on yard debut but has beaten just one rival in two outings since; cheekpieces are quickly swapped for blinkers; has something to prove all of a sudden but the ability is lurking to take a hand. |

Showed improved form when beating 15 rivals to land a 0-85 York handicap in June (1m1f, good) but he disappointed when favourite at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; may be capable of bouncing back. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Handicap debutant who has to overcome top weight and a near year-long absence but is worth noting if the market speaks favourably; faced a difficult task in the 2025 Solario when last seen; won on AW the time before. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Twice-raced colt who proved game with the hood fitted at Kempton (7f, AW) last time, turning over an odds-on Godolphin runner; may have more to offer in the retained headgear but this is a much stiffer task. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m2f novice winner in April; rather disappointing afterwards but he was then well backed last time at Ayr (1m2f) and beat all bar an Ed Walker improver; 2lb higher with a tongue-tie added and firmly enters the reckoning; should be fine back at 1m. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Easy winner of a Bath novice (1m2f, good) in April but he's been disappointing in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he has hung right a few times and he needs to find more progress. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo; well held at Kempton last month but 1m4f may have stretched her and she was a creditable fourth on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f) in January; looks interesting back at this trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if she resumed her progress. |
11/2 |

8th 11 (2) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who again showed improved form when tackling a (hot) handicap for the first time at Newcastle in January; new trip of 1m4f raises a question but she's a danger to all if seeing it out; holds Irish Group 3 entry over this trip next month. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won on 2yo debut at Newbury (6.5f, soft) last October and similar form when third at Kempton (7f, AW) next time; reappeared with a last-gasp novice win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) and this Frankel colt, who is out of 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty, is open to further improvement tackling 1m on his handicap debut; could play a leading role. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
By Frankel out of a 1,000 Guineas winner; odds-on favourite on Newbury debut (6.5f, soft) in October and he forged clear to win with lots in hand; well-held third under a penalty at Kempton in December but that was behind a smart prospect who finished third in the Craven (Group 3) this spring; sets the standard on that latest form and he's a big player on his return. |

10st 11lb |
Up and down on AW since these aids were fitted at the start of 2026, winning at Kempton and back to form after a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Lingfield in May (both 1m); no good thing to improve on poor efforts in two previous turf handicaps last year. |

Responded well to the fitting of a visor when winning easily on his Kempton return (1m, Polytrack) in February, but twice disappointing since and still 7lb higher; enough to prove. |

Betting Forcast
7/2 Boyfriend, 66/1 One Smack Mac, 7/1 Principality, 20/1 Skipper, 6/1 Point Of Contact, 14/1 Looka, 100/30 Colourband, 12/1 Time Loop, 4/1 Shipbourne, 33/1 Zoffandia, 8/1 Electric Dreams
Verdict
Boyfriend has run some terrific races this year and his recent Goodwood second probably topped them all but preference is for the unexposed 3yo COLOURBAND. The Crisfords’ runner was helped by the return to this trip in a tongue-tie when winning at Windsor and the way he raced through the closing stages suggests this more demanding finish will suit. Shipbourne has been gelded since letting his supporters down at Newmarket and he and Looka are others with potential.[Emily Weber]
