6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |
4/1 |

6th 9 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won a less-competitive renewal of this last year under Oisin Murphy (currently 2-2 on him), to further enhance a good course record; arrives in good form, remains on a workable mark and holds decent claims once more. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; back from a break with a near miss at Nottingham and a length defeat at Goodwood, again over 5f on good ground; should run well again from stall 4; has form on all sorts of surfaces. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
11-time turf winner who won by 4l at Lingfied in July but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; this return to 6f is no problem but he needs a major revival on belated Tapeta debut; blinkers reapplied. |

Ran away with a turf handicap here (5f, good to soft; blinkered first time) in July; two heavy defeats have followed and this looks a warm race in which to try and bounce back; no accessories this time. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground. |
13/2 |

4th 3 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

On a tough mark after a big-race win in Bahrain in January; no impact in two runs this month and he is due to be 3lb lower from the weekend. |

6th 1 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins, two over 6f, the other at 5f; this season's win was a 13-runner event at Bahrain in January (5f, good to firm); hasn't run quite as well since, but may have needed it when 5.25l tenth of 20 in the Epsom Dash last time (5f, good to soft; 66-1); a possible. |
7/1 |

10th 2 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on any ground; having dropped in the weights he enjoyed a revival last August/September, rattling off a four-timer (5f-5.3f); had a stint in Bahrain over the winter, unplaced on four occasions but recording a career best when winning a 5f event (good to firm) in January; looks on a tough mark back in Britain. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form when third off 5lb higher at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May; this 8yo has finished soundly beaten on both starts since but has been without cheekpieces, which return today and could be key. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up three times this winter (including twice over C&D), but he was disappointing after another slow start at Chelmsford last month; needs to bounce back and he's now 0-13 since his sole win last June. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (5f, good) in June on handicap debut, his only win from 11 races; wore headgear for last six outings and the last three were major backward steps, so others have more pressing claims. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He's on a reduced mark and his yard is going well; however, he had a patchy campaign last season and was soundly beaten in April on his sole run this year (pulled hard on that stable debut); others have less to prove. |
10/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Five wins in 2025 (all at 5f; on good, heavy and soft ground); had trip and draw excuses for first two runs this year but he'd shot his bolt over a furlong out at Goodwood last time out; might do better back on a more conventional track and the change in the weather brings him into it. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Very productive in 2025, winning five times; hindered by wide draw at Chester most recently, otherwise has a good record over 5f; just needs to prove he can overcome current mark. |
12/1 |

9th 13 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Posted duck eggs over 6f in last two appearances, not beaten entirely by the trip; has a very good record at 5f but faces a harder task off current mark at this level, especially from an unfavourable draw. |
