5th Oct 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Nine wins on AW compared to just one on turf; on a dangerous mark and he can't be ignored in a weak event. |

4th 2 (9) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
10-71; sits 5lb below last winning mark (2m, Kempton) but has been struggling for form lately; weakened when 14l fifth to today's rival Fabled Spirit at Lingfield (2m AW; 9-2) latest; others more obvious. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Runner-up on his last four appearances, losing out only by half a length over C&D on penultimate occasion; will be a tough nut to crack if new tongue-tie has any positive effect; cheekpieces (worn last time) are removed. |
11/4 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile type who has finished runner-up at Newmarket (1m), Southwell (1m6f) and Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last three starts; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back on Polytrack; cheekpieces reapplied. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 (3) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Versatile as regards trip having finished runner-up at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in his last two starts; has gone back up 2lb but still hard to rule out; no headgear today. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not beaten that far in two handicap hurdles in June (2m/2m6f) but subsequent basement-grade Flat form is not encourging; blinkers refitted. |
40/1 |

9th 7 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins on the AW and turf form is very unconvincing; others safer. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner but not since March 2025, and his record on turf is poor; last off four in Lingfield handicap (1m6f, good to firm) 12 days ago and not the percentage call here. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Absent since finishing 5l behind Caprelo here in May; may put up a better fight in the rematch, having been fresh when gamely making all over C&D earlier in the spring. |
8/1 |

2 (9) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-18 under rules but ran her usual solid race when third of ten at Worcester (2m7f, good) 16 days ago in a returning visor (retained); looks sure to give another good account but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has placed form but she's now 0-17 after finishing well behind Son Of Tyran at Ludlow. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs. |

9st 3lb |
All three wins at 2m, the latest coming here last month on good to firm (Class 4); this is a different ball game altogether and he'd be receiving lumps of weight off most of these in a handicap. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner in September 2024; the odd good run in early 2025 but this habitual slow-starter always comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-17, with that win coming off 1lb lower at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September when sporting first-time cheekpieces; respectable effort there over 2m in April but he virtually refused to race on turf two weeks ago and was soon pulled up; best watched. |
9/1 |

2 (8) |
11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has been in competitive form on the AW but that's more his scene and he was only eighth of 11 on his previous turf start, albeit at a top track; could be given another chance on this surface. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Not seen over fences since pulled up on chasing debut in 2023; out of form over hurdles last summer and was pulled up when reappearing on the Flat in February (bled from the nose); comes with far too much risk. |
20/1 |

26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Running creditably on turf/AW last summer; well beaten in two hurdle runs when last seen; opposable in a competitive race after a break. |
