Made all to win the corresponding race 12 months ago; 2-2 on AW this year and he has performed with credit in Group 3/2 company on turf on his last two starts; should be in the thick of it again. |

1st 5 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has had some good results for this yard in 2026, winning two of his first three starts and going agonisingly close over 5f (good; has won on good to soft) at the top meeting here in July when checked in his run; not so strong at the finish over slightly further at York since but a major player back over C&D. |
5/1 |
|
11th 12 (12) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
On the up for new trainer this year, winning 5f handicaps at Yarmouth and Southwell before a fine second at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) three weeks ago, hitting the front 110 yards from home but picked off late on by a thriving opponent; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
All turf races on good or quicker ground; best form when narrow winner of a C&D Listed race in July but his sights are raised much higher today in this, his first Group race. |
25/1 |
|
1st 5 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Built on an eye-catching reappearance (over this C&D) when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) in May; only fourth to Washington Heights in Listed event at Carlisle next time but has had a break since and may well bounce back; has real possibilities if he does. |

Dual Listed winner who faced a stiff task in deep waters at Royal Ascot last time; respectable third to Rumstar in this race last year and was only one place behind that rival in the 2026 Palace House; in the mix. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Finished a close third in the 2024 Nunthorpe and went on to win the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (5f, firm); ran only twice in 2025, slow process recapturing form; right back near the top of his game when best of the rest behind Bacio in the Nunthorpe; can feature alongside Rumstar and Time For Sandals. |
6/1 |

2nd 9 (10) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Finished a close third in the 2024 running and went on to win the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (5f, firm; has won on good to soft) later in the year; seen only twice in 2025 and it's been a slow process recapturing form but a recent close fourth to Redorange in a C&D Listed race (first-time visor, now discarded) in July was better; no surprise to see him go well at a price. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint last October and he's gone close in a couple of Listed races at York (5f, good to firm) this season, the latest three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, his form has to go to a new level if he's to win this. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Third to Dickensian over C&D in May, stern assignments in Royal Ascot Group 1s since; sole win came in Yarmouth nursery and he's still in deep waters despite this apparent drop back in grade; cheekpieces replace visor. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Swept through from off the pace to win a Listed race at the Dante meeting (5f, good) here in May; also ran well over 5f here in July and he has had a wind operation since finishing down the field at Glorious Goodwood; 6f will be a new experience and he may prove vulnerable under his penalty. |
14/1 |
|
13th 13 (12) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Third in the Group 3 Molecomb over C&D (good) last July and reappeared with 3yo Listed win at York (5f, good) in May; not beaten far when seventh of 13 in Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and still lightly raced, but he's down the pecking order on ratings in this line-up. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent in first four starts, including an AW 5f win in November, but he took it up a notch when a neck second of 19 at Ascot (6f, good) seven weeks ago; raised 5lb but he's a leading contender. |
5/4 |

2nd 8 (13) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent in four starts, including win at Newcastle (5f) in November and when second to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, also AW; stumbled start) on handicap debut/reappearance one month ago; acts on turf and shouldn't be far away from same mark. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Has not yet won above Listed level; anything but disgraced when mid-division in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot or when a close fifth to Redorange in a C&D Listed race after, but it's hard to see her in this picture. |
150/1 |
|
15th 9 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Respectable effort in midfield in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month before 1l fifth of 13 in Listed race at York (5f, good to firm); however, a career best is needed today. |

9st 7lb |
4yo represents last year's winning yard; four-time winner including at Listed and Group 3 level; slow start to this season but back on song when denied by a neck by Flora Of Bermuda in a York Group 3 (6f, gd-fm) last month; firmly enters calculations now. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (5) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Cork Listed race (5.5f, good) and Newbury Group 3 (5f, good to soft) in 2025 but hasn't got close to that form in two 5f starts this year, albeit it was a Royal Ascot Group 1 latterly; won over 6f on good to firm at the start of her career. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Respectable seventh on stable debut in the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and good third of 18 to Naana's Shadow at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; today's track should be a good fit for this front-runner and she could make a bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two 5f wins for other yards in a Catterick novice as 2yo and a Meydan handicap in January; along with 25 others she was outclassed by a handicap blot at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on yard debut but less than 2l covered the second and seventh (where she finished; raced without a shoe) and there could be better to come for her leading trainer. |
