WELCOME Welcome everyone today to Royal Windsor Racecourse for our Summer Closing Party, our final music night of the 2026 Flat season. Tonight promises to be a fantastic way to draw the summer of music to a close with some wonderful racing, including the feature race of the day being the Weatherbys August Stakes, followed by TV personality and radio presenter, Mark Wright, performing his DJ set on the main stage on the Paddock Lawn after racing. Focusing on the racing first, we are obviously disappointed that Constitution Hill is not in the line-up for today’s August Stakes, as there is no doubt he is a horse that has captured the imagination of the public in a way that only the very best have done over the years such as the likes of Desert Orchid and Kauto Star. Given his profile, Constitution Hill would certainly have added significantly to the size of the crowd today, but we are nevertheless delighted to see such a strong field being declared to run in the August Stakes with a prize purse of £60,000 and it promises to be a cracking race over the 1m 3f trip. On that note, we are extremely grateful to Weatherbys for their support of today’s big race. Weatherbys have been synonymous with racing in this country for over 250 years and amongst many other things are responsible for the production, printing and delivery of this racecard so efficiently for every fixture. We are hugely indebted to Nick Craven and his team at Weatherbys for their wonderful support of Royal Windsor Racecourse and horse-racing in general. Similarly, thank you once again to Matchbook for their continued support of our August racenights, it is genuinely greatly appreciated. The Windsor jockey championship continues to be a close-run contest, although two wins here on Monday night for Oisin Murphy has now taken him to 14 wins this season, against Rossa Ryan’s 11 victories and Billy Loughnane’s 10. However, with Oisin and Rossa both riding at Sandown today, there is a great opportunity for Billy to close the gap with 6 rides here this evening. Have a wonderful evening and wishing you every success. Jimmy Wallace Executive Director

STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

ABBREVIATIONS BF - Beaten Favourite C - Course winner D - Distance winner CD - Course & Distance winner

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating. 5

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (32 wins from 230 runners, 14%) runs LEQUINTO TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): C Cox (5 wins from 24 runners, 21%) runs SERGEANT PEP WEIGHTWATCHER: AMAZONIAN DREAM won off a handicap mark of 84, his rating is now down 8lb to 76. LONGEST TRAVELLER: AMAZONIAN DREAM trained by R Millman, Cullompton, 149 miles. RACE SUMMARY

LEQUINTO can race off the same mark as when an unlucky third here recently so is fancied to bag a remarkable ninth course success. Supreme King also didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Chester last time and rates a big threat in his bid for a fifth victory of 2026. Both Amazonian Dream and Under The Twilight also possess excellent course records and can play a prominent role too in this competitive sprint.

THE REMEMBERING GILLIAN ROSE DEANE AT 60 NURSERY HANDICAP STAKES Thursday 27th August 2026 would have been Gillian Rose Deane’s 60th birthday, sadly we lost her to secondary breast cancer on 10th December 2024. Gillian loved going horse racing, whether it be Royal Ascot, the Grand National at Aintree, concert nights at Sandown, plus many others including here at Royal Windsor. The photograph is Gillian (on the left) with her sister Caroline and brother-in-law Tommy Mulligan enjoying an ice cream on the bench at the tree just outside the winners enclosure here. This was the last race meeting Gillian attended. Gillian’s friends and family remember her fondly and with lots of love, sponsoring a race in her honour seemed a fitting way to remember a truly wonderful lady.

White Birch

Fascinating Weatherbys Augus

- with White Birch one of a star-studd

We would have loved to have seen Constitution Hill take another important step in his new career in the Weatherbys August Stakes at Windsor, but his absence has barely detracted at all from the quality of the field.

guineas at Tattersalls Horses In Training Sale. At the time Osborne argued that few yearlings of that sort of price ever reach the 120 mark, whereas in White Birch he was buying “a bit of a certainty” and “just the most wonderful horse to go on an adventure with”. So what’s gone wrong since? “We gelded him and tweaked his wind, and in the spring he just didn’t really thrive,” Osborne explains. “Since then obviously we’ve had this long period with an extreme lack of rain, so we planned an autumn campaign as we didn’t want to have him all dressed up with nowhere to go. “He’s the highest-rated horse in the field on 118 and races for his type don’t grow on trees, but this looks an ideal starting point. I want to run here, and we are a runner as long as the forecast rain materialises, but Kempton next week is an alternative option.” Osborne warns that “a degree of rustiness is inevitable”, since White Birch hasn’t set foot on grass since Longchamp last October, but he believes that he has the six-year-old in good shape. “It’s not hard to see how he was such a good horse when you see him work, as he works with a bit of quality,” he says. “I’ll have to go back and watch his races again, but (daughter) Saffie will have watched them already and she’ll have a plan. It looks like one of the stronger renewals but mathematically he’s the best horse in the race.

Indeed it’s a measure of the strength of the original entry for Saturday evening’s Listed event that despite the bright start he has made on the Flat the brilliant former Champion Hurdle winner would have been second in line for elimination if the final declarations had still exceeded the safety maximum of 16. Not unexpectedly, the unusually prolonged spell of dry weather has persuaded connections to wait for next Saturday’s September Stakes on the allweather at Kempton, but the nine horses who stood their ground at declaration stage include two horses that were placed in the Derby, one of whom went on to win one of Ireland’s most prestigious Group 1s, a 2000 Guineas fourth who changed hands for an eyewatering £2m last year, and a Grade 1 winner in Canada. The Group 1 winner is of course White Birch, who was third behind Auguste Rodin in the 2023 Derby and the following spring had his revenge on that colt in no uncertain terms when a comfortable three-length winner of the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh. His last two racecourse appearances were in the Irish Champion Stakes and the Arc, no less, after which Jamie Osborne and owner Ian Barratt outbid Harold Kirk and Willie Mullins to buy him for 300,000

second to Opera Ballo reads very well in this context.

“We’ll see on Saturday if he can still run to that sort of level on his first start, but he looks well, his work has been good, and this will give us an indication as to where our next move should be. I’ve put him in the Champion Stakes, just in case, and there are options at Longchamp and also further afield.”

He’s taking a big drop in class and this could be a golden opportunity for him, but equally it’s easier pickings for some of his key rivals compared to the company they usually keep and they face a clutch of in-form younger runners, some of whom still have untapped potential.

Ambiente Friendly was placed in the Derby the year after White Birch, finishing second to City Of Troy, but his only success since then from an unusually broad range of opportunities came in a Huntingdon novice hurdle, so he will line up as one of the rank outsiders.

Foremost among them perhaps is the Crisfords’ Sea Scout, who was making a belated reappearance when chasing home the vastly improved Sallaal in Haydock’s Group 3 Rose Of Lancaster Stakes. Then there is Warrant Holder, who races for the King and Queen and was an excellent Royal Ascot second to Opportunity in the Duke of Edinburgh before finishing in mid-field when a red-hot favourite for the John Smith’s Handicap at York.

Another high-class contender is Ghostwriter, who hasn’t won since his two-year-old days but has been in the frame in the meantime in a 2000 Guineas, a Prix du Jockey Club, an Eclipse and a Juddmonte International. He fetched that staggering £2m when bought by Amo at the Goffs London Sale last year and he was third to Rebel’s Romance in the Hardwicke a few days later, but he hasn’t run so well since and is long overdue a return to the winner’s enclosure.

Respond is another to consider. He was also in mid-division in the York race, but he had earlier been an impressive winner at Chester’s May meeting and his trainer Andrew Balding could hardly be in better form. Tenability is interesting too, as William Haggas had three possibles to choose from and the four-year-old followed his Listed win at Goodwood with a Group 3 third at Deauville, where connections felt he was a bit better than the bare form. And finally there’s the mare Muddy Mooy, who has some fair form at this level, including a second at Chantilly last summer.

We haven’t seen Wathnan’s Silawi yet over here this year, but he made all in the Weatherbys-sponsored Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes on the same Windsor card 12 months ago, beating Godolphin’s one-time Derby hope Military Order, and he went on to repeat the tactics in the Grade 1 Canadian International at Woodbine, albeit by a fast-diminishing nose. Similar tactics asked too much of him at the Breeders’ Cup, but his Meydan

It’s all to play for. GRAHAM DENCH 31


Race preview from Weatherbys

Silawi (red cap)

Warrant Holder finished one place further back at York, having earlier won on the Knavesmire on reappearance before finishing a creditable second in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot. The winner (Opportunity) ran well in the Ebor last weekend, as did the sixth placed Hopewell Rock, and stepping back up in distance should suit. Still lightly raced, expect a big run from the royal runner.

The feature on today’s card is the Weatherbys August Stakes, a Listed contest staged over 1m3½f, in which William Haggas’ Tenability has to concede weight to all, thanks to his victory in Goodwood’s Tapster Stakes back in June. Third in Group 3 company at Deauville subsequently, the improving Frankel four-year-old shed his maiden tag at this track in June of last year, after which he rattled off three successive handicap victories at Ascot.

Sea Scout only returned to action three weeks ago and also needs to prove his stamina over this trip, whilst Ambiente Friendly has a bit to find with Warrant Holder on Ascot form and hasn’t won on the level for over two years.

White Birch is certainly one of the more fascinating runners.

Amo Racing’s Ghostwriter ran well in the Group 3 Glorious Stakes at Goodwood last time but is another who still needs to fully convince that this is his trip. The five-year-old hasn’t won since his twoyear-old days.

The only other previous course winner in the line-up is Silawi, who struck on his British debut in May 2025. Winner of the Canadian International in October, we have only seen him in action once this summer, when only beating one rival home in a Group 1 at Munich. He needs to take a significant step forward and has also done most of his winning over slightly shorter.

The field is completed by White Birch and Muddy Mooy, the former having his first start for Jamie Osborne and on the back of a wind operation. Winner of the Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2024, the former John Joseph Murphy-trained grey hasn’t been in the same form this year but takes a marked drop in class and is certainly one of the more fascinating runners.

Aside from Tenability, the other fouryear-olds in the nine-strong field are Respond, Sea Scout and Warrant Holder. The former steps out of handicap company and prior to his ninth place finish in the John Smith’s Cup at York, had been in consistent form.

Muddy Mooy is only rated 97, so Charlie Pike’s mare looks to face a stiff ask under Nicola Currie.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this looks a good opportunity for the handily-weighted GOLDFINDER to build on earlier promise and gain a first success if proving as effective on turf.
