27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Wouldn't judge him harshly on his two turf defeats this summer but even his best AW form needs bettering if he is to come out on top here. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

3rd 4 (25) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He hasn't had a great deal of racing since July 2024 but, two wind surgeries and a gelding operation later, he has shown he retains a good chunk of his former ability (Group 2 winner at best) this year, in a tongue-tie on last two starts; finished just behind Soldier's Tree when fifth in the Wokingham (6f, good to firm) but was in front of that rival in a Group 3 at Newbury two weeks ago; 3lb well in and has the ability to feature but his tendency to forfeit ground at the start isn't ideal in a race of this depth. |
12/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very lightly raced in recent times but latest effort, namely fifth in the Wokingham, suggests he retains a very useful level of ability aged seven; however, needs to prove he's still capable of peak form, which includes Group wins at Newbury and the Curragh. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Late-maturing type won the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (good) in 2024; did not appear last year until September and failed to recapture his best form in three runs, only fifth behind Spycatcher when favourite at Doncaster on last of them; reversed that form (and had James's Delight behind) when fourth in a 6f Listed race at the same venue eight weeks ago. |
4/1 |

4th 9 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Arrives late on the scene and had a stellar 2024, his three wins including this race (soft) and the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (good); wasn't seen last year until September and didn't fully fire in three runs, only fifth behind Spycatcher when favourite over C&D on last of them; dangerous if rebounding but has to prove he retains all his ability. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since well beaten in the smallest group in Royal Ascot handicap; below-par third in this race last year but is otherwise interesting on two pieces of 6f form with subsequent dual Group 1 winner Almeraq. |
5/2 |

25th 1 (30) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Often leads; showed high-class form on good to firm ground last summer, runner-up in the Group 3 Jersey (7f) at this meeting, then involved in a tight finish for third place in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f) despite racing away from the main action for much of the way; had some excuses later but he was back on track when a close second in a 6f Listed race at Salisbury recently; can go well from rail draw. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced over only shorter trips but a couple of efforts in his below-par 2026 campaign suggest this step up to 7f, combined with first-time headgear, may prompt a resurgence; proved a progressive juvenile last term, signing off with Middle Park win. |
14/1 |

22th 15 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off. |
