10st 5lb
|
Third reserve; four-time winner in Britain for George Boughey, including two on quick ground; starts out for new yard off what looks a tough mark; rain would be a negative. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a four-timer in April/May but has taken backward steps the last twice; chance of resuming progress depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces and the new trip. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Often a front runner who has gained six of his seven wins on the AW at Southwell; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well, but a record of 1-20 on turf suggests others are more likely. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on the AW at Southwell, the most recent by a wide margin over 1m6f in March under Elle-May Croot; held in four starts since and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

Six of his seven wins have been on the AW at Southwell, the most recent in March off a 4lb lower mark; below his best in three starts since and others are preferred now he switches back to turf. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time course winner, the latest last September (1m5f, firm); runner-up here on three of her last five starts, including her latest, and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who was runner-up twice here (including this trip) on firm in April; not at the same level twice since, although a slow start offers an excuse on the first occasion. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 6yo who has not run on the Flat since midfield finish in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap in April; ran okay in two handicap hurdles last month but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Three-time AW winner (1m6f-2m) but he's been well held in four hurdle runs since April including a Worcester handicap (2m, good; 33-1); this stiffer stamina test could help but he needs to show a lot more. |
14/1 |

6th 12 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner (1m6f-2m); well beaten in three spins over hurdles; lowly rated for handicap debut but he needs a spark; stablemate of Strong As Steel. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Patchy form of late, his easy win at Haydock (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in July flanked by modest efforts on the AW (has run well on Tapeta); not sure what to expect. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt with a convincing success at Haydock (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in July; up 7lb and will need to show he can also do it back on the AW, but something may have clicked; shortlisted. |
15/8 |
|
6 (6) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent maiden (1m-1m6f) who has the hood refitted, also going in a first-time tongue-tie, having again pulled hard last time; this mark should be within range if settling but therein lies the gamble. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up on the Flat last September and he's been in top form over hurdles of late at Market Rasen, winning two in a row (2m/2m4f, good) before finishing second on his last start; respected back in this code. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick. |
100/30 |
|
1st 5 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher. |
