31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins since joining Rod Millman, the latest a wide-margin success in a small field at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm) last month; second at Chepstow 25 days ago; handles good to soft but more to prove if it is slower. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner, latterly in comfortable fashion at the expense of three rivals at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm); strongly considered off 4lb higher; Charlie Tucker claims 7lb, replacing Oisin Murphy. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not particularly consistent this term for new stable but his most recent Class 5 attempt resulted in Bath win (1m6f, good; narrowly off 1lb lower) in June; possibilities returned to this grade. |

Tailed off last time and was no match for the winners of her two previous races; has to raise his game. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Not as good this year and has looked to have no excuses in some ordinary handicaps of late; only 1lb lower than when well held over 1m6f here 12 days ago and Free World looks his trainer's best chance. |

3rd 3 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm; in good form over 1m6f/2m last June, including for a Chester win off 3lb lower than today; well held on sole start here (last July) and not seen since last September; he ran well first time out last season but others look more persuasive today. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over 2m (good) here in June and the saddle slipped on his return visit the following month; can probably forgive him his Ascot run as well as that was a Class 3; could find this trip on the tight side, though. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won twice at around 2m in 2025 but he's performed miserably this season and needs to turn a corner. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A two-time winner (around 2m) in 2025 but he's failed to beat a rival in a pair of 1m6f handicaps at Thirsk and Carlisle this summer; needs to take a major step forward. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained most recent success off just 1lb lower in June (over 2m at Catterick); however, subsequent form (Flat/hurdles) is unconvincing. |
12/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has made all in all four of his victories on the Flat, including two over C&D; modest over hurdles 12 days ago but respected back here, especially as he may again enjoy the run of the race; new headgear combination. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time. |

5th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Well treated on best hurdles form but his record for current yard leaves a lot to be desired; switch to fences made no difference last time; the weakest contender. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won this in 2024 and posted his first win of this year at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June; soundly beaten on his last two starts but this four-time course winner could bounce back returned to Musselburgh. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Running away with a 2m2f race on heavy going under 7lb claimer at Nottingham last October was a clear career best at the time; virtually matched that form in three of his races in a mixed campaign this year and maybe an increased stamina test will help, but being 5lb out of the handicap won't. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Won a Sedgefield handicap hurdle in May (2m1f, good to firm) but has been rather disappointing over hurdles and on the Flat since; needs to bounce back. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |

Four-time hurdle winner, including last month; has winning form on the Flat and placed on the AW earlier this year, but has no form here and others have more going for them. |
