Form & Verdict
Found a couple of uncompetitive handicaps in May and has been expensive to follow since, latterly when behind two of these at Chepstow; considered but is weighted to his best and is an infrequent winner.

Well handicapped and although he is now 0-19 for this yard, he has run several good races in defeat; latest Wolverhampton second was one of them and he is more appealing than many.

Some good runs during his losing streak and did well to finish second at Bath in the penultimate one after starting slowly; his sixth of 17 back there was in a competitive race.

Form & Verdict
Trainer enjoying an excellent summer and is 4-12 with turf runners here; this gelding's only disappointing run this year came when helping force a strong pace over a stiff 5f (behind So Smart) and he's well drawn, but a chunky 10lb rise for his Chepstow win will test him.

J: Gina Mangan

T: Christopher Mason

Better than ever in 2026 and seen to good effect when making all at Ffos Las and Ascot (5f; good and good to firm; acts on good to soft) in midsummer; couldn't cope with a total rise of 12lb in the Shergar Cup since and an easy lead looks unlikely but he could be well positioned from his draw and give it a good shot.

Form & Verdict
Well suited by a stiff 5f (three-time winner on the July course at Newmarket); signs he may be in decline this season, for a yard who may hold stronger claims with Cloud King, and the first-time visor (three ordinary efforts in cheekpieces previously) needs to help.

Prolific turf winner who scored at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at Sandown last time; has something to prove again and he's 0-7 on AW; visor removed.

Returned to winning form at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June and his subsequent third of six at Lingfield (5f) was perfectly respectable given he is 0-7 on the AW; handles soft ground well and should play a part if things pan out from the rails draw.

Form & Verdict
Haydock win this time last year came off the same mark and he'll be happier back over an easier 5f; won first time out last season, so the ten-week break is no offputter, and he's quite capable if settling and getting this run to suit (usually dropped in).

J: Jack Callan

T: Robert Cowell

This is his first outing since last December but he's gone well fresh in the past and ran some good races in the second half of last year; his C&D form figures read 12772 and he can be in the shake-up if fully tuned up.

Hasn't had many chances on AW but he looked good over C&D last spring and he picked up smartly to beat eight rivals at Chelmsford last month; this is a higher grade but a 4lb rise is fair enough and he still has a bit of potential.

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Made all from a wide stall over C&D in May and ran at least as well from the front when second at Sandown last month; not as good behind All Ways Glamorous last time but has a handy draw in a race lacking much other early speed, so is respected.
