27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
On a competitive mark on last year's form for Tom Clover; after a spell over hurdles for his new yard he was gelded and returned with a respectable fourth of nine at Windsor a fortnight ago, when shaping as though he may have needed the run; he's one of two for a stable with an excellent record in this race, including wins in the last two runnings; could play leading role. |
12/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m2f winner last year for Tom Clover and he's shown he can deal with this 9lb higher mark; however, he has been off since pulling up over hurdles (0-3) in March, since when he's been gelded. |
9/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Scored on the Flat for Tom Clover at Newbury over 1m2f last May; placed in both starts over hurdles, albeit tending to jump out to the left; should improve and looks the main danger to Mister Ursus. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who scored on turf at Lingfield on his penultimate run and he wasn't suited by a tactical race at Epsom (third of four) last time; only 3lb higher than for that last success and has claims if things go to plan back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In good form prior to capitalising on the step back up in trip to win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; had just a short head to spare but he's only 3lb higher today and can be bang there once more. |
7/2 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Running consistently well in defeat on AW this season, finishing placed at Wolverhampton on last two starts (9.4f); there's every chance this three-time turf winner will be thereabouts. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner (all on good to firm); has finished third here on his last two outings, including behind Tronido over C&D ten days ago (good to soft), and in this race last year behind that same rival (soft; beaten around 7l); solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Five-time winner, all on good to firm ground; arrives in good form but the ground looks a potential stumbling block. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
