Form profile

Winner of three of his 17 starts and currently rated 98. Finished fifth, beaten six lengths, to Oneforthegutter in a handicap at Newmarket (1m 6f) in July off a mark of 99 and had previously run well when seventh, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Ascending in the Ascot Stakes Handicap at Royal Ascot (2m 4f) off the same mark.

Trainer says

He won at the meeting last year and I thought he ran very well in the Ascot Stakes and probably sat too close to a very strong pace at the July Festival last time. I haven’t decided which way to go with him as he could run in either the mile six or could go up to two and a half miles. I was surprised that there are only 14 entries for the two and a half miler and it doesn’t look the field it often is. I am maybe leaning that way with him at the moment.

Form profile

Winner of four of her 17 starts and currently rated 98. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and three quarters, to Classic in a handicap at Sandown (1m) in July off a mark of 97.

Trainer says

She is certainly one of our biggest hopes of the week. She won at the meeting last year when landing the mile fillies’ handicap and we are going for the Golden Mile this year, which has been the long-term target. She ran very well in the Coral Challenge at Sandown last time and was probably a bit too far back the winner Classic got a good front running ride and she was the only horse to make up a lot of ground. It is never an easy watch with her as she’s a rarity in the stable in that does like to get some cover. In a 20-runner handicap,p we are going to need some luck and a good draw, and we will need Jamie Spencer to be at his brilliant best as he was last year. If the gaps come at the right time, I would expect her to run a very big race.

Form profile

Winner of 11 of his 78 starts and currently rated 86. Has won his last two starts at Newmarket (1m) in July beating Parole d’Oro a short head at the July Festival off a mark of 76 and then following up with a three-length victory from Shamrock Bay off a mark of 79.

Trainer says

“He had spent a couple of year in the doldrums albeit he had run some very good races in defeat. I think it had been two years since he last won but he was actually second in the Golden Mile last year. He had been sliding down the handicap a bit this year and it was good to see him get his head back in front the last twice. They had both been at Newmarket and he is now I think five from seven on the July Course and has a love affair with that track. At the same time, he has great form at Goodwood and has been second and third in the last two editions of the Golden Mile. He won’t get into that race this year so he will be going for the mile and a furlong handicap on the Saturday. I think the handicapper got very carried away giving an eight-year-old a 7lb rise and it’s hard to make sense of it but he’s clearly in good fettle with himself and likes Goodwood. Hopefully, we will get a big run from him.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 27 starts and currently rated 81. Finished runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to Andaleep in the Racing League at Yarmouth (1m 2f) in July off a mark of 81.

Trainer says

I tried to declare him for Tuesday, but he was balloted out and he could possibly run in the same race as Dutch Decoy or he is also in the Racing League on Thursday night. He was second in a Racing League race at Yarmouth last Thursday. On turf he is better with some cut in the ground which will, hopefully, be the case at Goodwood this week.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 13 starts and currently rated 90. Better effort on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in January when runner-up, beaten a length and a half, to Royal Zabeel off a mark of 91.

Trainer says

He is an interesting one in that he came to me at the backend of last year and ran a very nice race on his first start for us when he was second to Royal Zabeel in a race at Wolverhampton. He was very disappointing in his next start, but he picked up an injury soon after that. He has been off for what will have been six months, but we have been working back from this working back from this. He worked well last week, and he has moved into Middleham Park colours. On that form of his first run at Wolverhampton he would have claims.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 52 starts and currently rated 84. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and three quarters, to Mysteryofthesands in a handicap at Beverley (7 1/2f) last week.

Trainer says

He is another one who could possibly run in that mile and one race on Saturday. Again, he has a Racing League option earlier in the week. If every horse in the yard was like him it would be an easy job as he runs week in week out and is largely consistent and very tough. He will be running somewhere this week.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 5 starts and currently rated 80. Hampered when 24th of 25, beaten 28 lengths, to Never Let Go in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m) in June off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

She had good form as a two-year-old and won her first two races and then ran ok in the Montrose Stakes at Newmarket. She has been disappointing in her two runs this year albeit she faced some fairly stiff tasks. She looks like she wants to go up to a mile and a quarter so that is what she is likely to do in the fillies’ handicap on Wednesday.

Form profile

Placed in her 5 starts and currently rated 77. Finished runner-up, beaten half a length, to Wujood in a novice fillies’ at Pontefract (1m) in June.

Trainer says

She runs on Tuesday. She ran well on her comeback run at Pontefract when second behind a Haggas horse that has gone on and run well since at Newbury. I would like to think she is a well handicapped filly. I would nearly have loved to have run her in the mile and a quarter race but it looked like she was going to be out of the handicap there so we will stick to a mile. She is still a maiden but has been placed in her five starts and is still lightly raced and unexposed. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ran a nice race.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 4 starts and currently rated 83. Off the mark with a length and three quarter success from Maraaheb in a maiden at Haydock (1m 4f) in June and subsequently third, beaten four lengths, to The Pouncing Lion in a handicap at Southwell (1m 4f) this month off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

He is in the mile and a half and the mile and three handicaps and we have quite a few entries in both. I haven’t decided which way they will split up, but he will be running in one of them. He did very little wrong in his first three starts in good company and won nicely at Haydock on his third run. I was a little bit disappointed with his run at Southwell, but he still ran a solid race to finish third behind what looks a progressive winner. You will probably see some headgear on him. He hung left a bit in the straight at Southwell and just looked a bit like he was going through the motions a bit. He is still lightly raced, his form is pretty strong, and if the headgear has the desired effect, he is still a reasonably handicapped horse.

Form profile

Winner of one her 9 starts and currently rated 81. Best most recent effort when runner-up, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to Patagonia Girl in a Fillies’ Handicap at Chester (1m 2 1/2f) in June off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

She will run in the mile and a quarter fillies’ handicap on Wednesday. She ran very well at Chester two starts back and was arguably a bit unlucky and met with plenty of traffic and stayed on when it was all over. It was a typical hard luck Chester story. She was a bit disappointing at Southwell next time but had a tough trip and was stuck wide the whole way. Off her Chester run, I could see her running a nice race off a light weight.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 8 starts and currently rated 114. Has seen a rear view of Lambourn in his three starts this season finishing runner-up, beaten a length and a half, in the Group 3 Chester Vase at Chester (1m 4f) in May, runner-up, beaten three and three quarters of a length, in the Group 1 Epsom Derby at Epsom (1m 4f) in June and third, beaten three lengths, in the Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m 4f) in July.

Trainer says

He won’t be going to Goodwood, and it will be all systems go straight for the St Leger. We are keen to mind him for the long term and, particularly, we want to stay clear of summer fast ground if we can. We were happy to run him on quickish ground in an Irish Derby but I’m afraid a Gordon Stakes or a Voltigeur are not a big enough carrots to take that risk. it will be straight to the St Leger. I think he will improve for the trip and an extra two furlongs and a bit of cut in the ground would make us optimistic we could finally reverse the form with Lambourn.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 7 starts and currently rated 95. Gained his last success at Redcar (1m) in June when beating Cruyff Turn a length off a mark of 84 and subsequently runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to King’s Charter in a handicap at Newmarket (1m 2f) in July off a mark of 89.

Trainer says

He will run in the mile and a quarter handicap on Thursday. He is a progressive young horse and has only one blot on his copybook at Musselburgh earlier in the year. He has got back on track well since then and almost certainly bumped into a Group horse in a handicap at Newmarket last time. I thought he ran well, and I can see him being better on a turning track like Goodwood as he was a bit keen early on at Newmarket. He is one we are looking forward too.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 5 starts and currently rated 79. Scored by a nose from Gentle Warrior in a handicap at Doncaster (1m 4f) in July off a mark of 75.

Trainer says

He is another who will go for either the mile and three or mile and half handicaps on Wednesday or Friday. He has his three runs through the winter and won his maiden. We were struggling to get him to come to handicap through the spring but he has come right in the last couple of weeks. He was second at Haydock and would have won in another stride and was very tough when winning at Doncaster on Saturday night. I think he is a progressive young horse and is already shaping like he will need a mile and six at this kind of level but, for a Qatari owner, I am sure he will be keen to go to Goodwood.

Form profile

Placed in five of his 6 starts and currently rated 82. Finished runner-up, beaten a short head, to stablemate Pole Star in a handicap at Haydock (1m 6f) in July off a mark of 78.

Trainer says

I think he will go for the mile and a half handicap on Wednesday. He just got touched off by Pole Star of ours at Haydock and I think, arguably, was little unlucky as Pole Star got first run on him and he was bearing down on him close home. He just couldn’t get there but emerged from that with a lot of credit. Coming back to a mile and a half will be a small concern and I think he will be better going over a mile and six. Going on from this he will go for the Melrose Handicap at York, that would be an idea race for him.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 6 starts and currently rated 87. Gained his third win in his first season racing when beating Miller Spirit a length, in the Racing League at Yarmouth (1m 6f) on Thursday off a mark of 87.

Trainer says

He won well at Yarmouth last week. We will see what the handicapper does with him this week before deciding if we go to Goodwood or whether we will wait and go straight for the Melrose. After Haydock, I would say there was no chance he would come back to a mile and a half but at Yarmouth he actually travelled a lot sweeter. He moved through the race very well and always looked like he was going to win. I wouldn’t rule it out that we will see him on Wednesday, but I am leaning towards the Melrose.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 15 starts and currently rated 75. Finished fourth, beaten six and a half lengths, to Double Parked in a nursery at Redcar (1m) in July off his current mark.

Trainer says

He will try and get in the mile handicap on Thursday. He has been largely consistent and is a tough little horse that won at Newmarket a couple of starts ago. He was little disappointing at the July Festival but back at seven wasn’t ideal. I think a mile on quick ground is his ideal scenario, but he will need a few to come out at Goodwood to get in.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 6 starts and currently rated 82. Off the mark with a three and a quarter length success from A War Eagle at Hamilton (1m 1/2f) in July when rated 73.

Trainer says

He was a horse we loved as a two-year-old and he actually ran in the same maiden as Lazy Griff at Doncaster on his first ever start and was bang upsides him. I was expecting him to be one of our better middle-distance handicappers this year but his first two runs were very disappointing. As he was by Sea The Moon, I was presuming he was going to want a mile and a quarter or a mile and a half this year but when we dropped him to a mile at Hamilton he got firmly back on track. I think the handicapper didn’t miss him and put him up 9lb but based on what we thought of him as a two-year-old I would have expected him to be a lot higher than 82 by now. Hopefully, we have found the key back to a mile and he can continue to progress.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 3 starts and currently rated 93. Finished third, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Blue Bolt in a LIsted Fillies’ at Sandown (1m) in July.

Trainer says

She is in the Oak Tree on Wednesday and is a progressive filly. She ran well in the listed race at Sandown last time and she looked like she has the speed to come back to seven, but this looks like a very hot renewal of the Oak Tree. If she didn’t go to Goodwood she would go for the Dick Hern at Haydock in a couple of weeks.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 12 starts and currently rated 94. Finished fifth, beaten seven and a quarter lengths, to Fifth Column in a handicap at Newmarket (1m) in July off a mark of 96.

Trainer says

He has been busy but, on the whole, has had quite a good year and won two valuable handicaps. Life is a bit tougher now he is up to 94 he started the year of 84. We thought maybe stepping him up to a mile and quarter now might bring about a little more improvement. He will go for the mile and a quarter three-year-old handicap on Thursday.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 4 starts and currently rated 77. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a half, to Sir Albert in a nursery at Chester (7f) in July off his current rating.

Trainer says

We have three in the nursery and will probably run two of them. I haven’t sorted out which two it will be. He is a horse I have always liked, and I started him over five and he found that far too sharp. He has improved with every run as he has gone up in trip. I was a little disappointed to be beaten at Chester, but Jason felt the ground was over watered there and that he will be better back on a sounder surface. I would be hopeful he would run a nice race.

Form profile

Finished fifth, beaten six lengths, to Protection Act in a novice at Haydock (7f) in July.

Trainer says

He is a two-year-old of Amo’s who finished fifth on his debut at Haydock. I thought he travelled into the race well and then was a bit disappointed with the finishing effort, but he will take a step forward for that experience. He will probably go to the seven furlongs colts’ maiden on the Saturday.

Form profile

Finished fourth, beaten eight and a quarter lengths, to Orion’s Belt on her debut at Newmarket (7f) in July.

Trainer says

She is a lovely Ten Sovereigns filly who I thought made a very pleasing debut at Newmarket. She was quite green through the middle part of the race and just lost her pitch but stayed on nicely. She stayed on nicely under a fine educational ride from Billy Loughnane and she will take a big step forward from that. She will go for the fillies’ maiden on Thursday, and I expect her to run well.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

She will probably join Ice Sovereigns in the seven-furlong fillies’ maiden. She is a nice big Virtual filly from a good German family and will probably get better at three. Her last two gallops have been nice, and she is working well enough to run in a hot maiden like this.

Form profile

Placed in two of her 3 starts and currently rated 75. Finished third, beaten six lengths, to Azleet in a maiden fillies’ at Southwell (6f) in July.

Trainer says

She might go for the seven-furlong nursery. I got a bit greedy last time dropping back to six furlongs to try and win a GBB bonus, but she wants seven or a mile already. She is much better judged on her Doncaster run which was the only one over seven furlongs. She was beaten narrowly close home, and I would like to think she is nicely handicapped.

Form profile

Winner of both of her starts and currently rated 88. Scored by two lengths from Somebody at Chelmsford (6f) in June and followed up with a two and a half length success from Simplify in a novice fillies’ at Newbury (6f) in July.

Trainer says

She will probably run in the six-furlong nursery. She has won both her starts so far and was impressive at Newbury last time under a penalty. She is a filly I had in the Princess Margaret on Saturday but decided to come here instead. We would be expecting her to run a big race.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 3 starts and currently rated 81. Off the mark at Pontefract (6f) on his last start in June in a novice when beating Cosmic Clarets two and a half lengths.

Trainer says

He is in both the six and seven furlong nurseries and we are not sure which way he will go yet. It may depend on other horses of Jaber Abdullah’s we have in races. He won well at Pontefract the last day and hasn’t done much wrong in three starts and has gradually improved each one.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 starts. Off the mark with a three and a half length victory from Strength Of Spirit in a novice at Beverley (7 1/2f) in July.

Trainer says

He has been declared for the Vintage on Tuesday. It’s a tough ask and big jump up in class taking on a few horses who are already proven at Group level, but he is a horse we have always liked. After he won impressively at Beverley this seemed the logical next step for him.
