Going DownTribal Chief
TRIBAL CHIEF has been third in a pair of top-end handicaps from the same mark this year and the way he kept on from further back than ideal in the Victoria Cup last time suggests he can win one when things fall right. Similar comments apply to recent Royal Hunt Cup third Indalo and he's second choice ahead of Beagle Bay, who almost certainly has more to come on the back of last month's C&D success. The reliable Ebt's Guard and last year's winner Classic are others likely to have a say.

C&D winner last July and has done little but progress since, including close second in the Cambridgeshire last autumn and third of 28 (first home in his group) in Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot 17 days ago.

Has looked better than ever when third in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good) and Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good to firm) this season. Shaped better than the result in the latter having had to weave his way through from the rear (best of those held up).

Won this last year (good record here) and has started 2026 in cracking form, building on Newbury Spring Cup second when edging out Indalo back there (1m) in May. That form was advertised several times at Royal Ascot and he shaped as if still in good nick himself when ninth of 28 in the Hunt Cup.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot1mGood to FirmFlat9/28Newbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/15Newbury1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/24Newbury7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat8/11Ascot7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/21- 10(9)Hard EndeavorJ: Billy LoughnaneT: Jane Chapple-Hyam3315-04Age 415/215/27/1

A real standing dish in these top handicaps, producing another cracking effort when fourth of 28 in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot last month.

Ended last season with a useful effort to win at Yarmouth (9f, soft). Caught the eye (met trouble) when third of 13 to Mirsky in Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good) in May but not in the same form at the York Dante meeting 12 days later. Freshened up since.

Won the 2024 Cambridgeshire and added 2 listed races over 1¼m last year. Hasn't reached the same heights this season, though, including mid-field in Epsom handicap (1¼m, good to soft) 29 days ago.

Useful performer who ran well when 4 lengths sixth of 18 in Golden Gates at Royal Ascot (1¼m, good to firm) a fortnight ago.

Likeable 8-y-o who has been at the top of his game on all-weather this year, winning at Kempton (1m) and runner-up on 3 other occasions. Also a creditable fourth of 18 on turf at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time but probably vulnerable to younger legs in a race as hot at this.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosEpsom Downs1m 113yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat4/18Ascot7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat15/28Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat7/14Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat2/10Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat2/5- 5(16)BalmacaraJ: Charles BishopT: Eve Johnson Houghton200-376Age 550/133/140/1

Made it 3 wins from 4 starts this year when seeing off 11 rivals over C&D (good) 3 weeks ago.

Landed back-to-back Goodwood handicaps last autumn and even better form in defeat this year, going close at the York Dante meeting before shaping well when fifth of 28 (second home in group) in Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot.
