27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten in 2018 in his only AW race; peak Flat form came with big-race placings over 2m4f in summer 2021; there's been a four-year absence since and his 2m win at Beverley (2lb higher today) this April showed that stacks of his ability remains, form which was backed up at Thirsk on latest start but this contest demands more; cheekpieces (absent this term) return. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Smart staying handicapper for Mick and David Easterby in 2021 when competitive at some of the top meetings; only his second run since when winning over 2m at Beverley (good to soft; 2lb higher today) in April, while 1m5f helps to explain his last of five at Hamilton four weeks ago; not dismissed. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Smart staying handicapper on the Flat for Mick and David Easterby in 2021 when competitive at some of the major meetings; having only his second run since that year when winning well over 2m at Beverley last month (good to soft); still useful, clearly, and has only gone up 2lb. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat this year, for instance 11th to Believitanducan in the Northumberland Vase last month; not proven beyond 2m in this sphere but he switched back to hurdles for a 2m6f win at Stratford 12 days ago, which might give some renewed hope. |
18/1 |

1st 3 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Not at best on the Flat this year (albeit still capable of useful form) and managed only fourth of six when warm favourite for latest hurdle race, at Worcester (2m, good) in May; that said, he's a stout stayer on the Flat and could have untapped potential over this new trip over jumps. |
9/4 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Not in peak form (hurdles or Flat) from last August onwards but it's not forgotten that he was third in the Plate itself last year off 3lb higher. |

Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
11st 0lb |
In terrific form of late, winning 2m3f Market Rasen handicap hurdle in May (good) and returned from a short break when strong-finishing neck second (clear of remainder) of 19 in 2m1f flat handicap here on Wednesday; clearly handles the track, should go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 20 (13) |
29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
9st 7lb |
Three flat wins for various trainers in Britain and off the mark over hurdles for current trainer in 2m3f Market Rasen maiden in late May (good); had earlier not looked a straightforward ride on occasions; has had a break since. |
14/1 |

1st 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Not proven on firmer than good (one attempt); second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good) in May was his closest finish since 2yo, making most and rallying well; disappointing latest start but that Salisbury run was his only appearance this season over this trip (the rest were 2m); not totally ruled out in his search for first win since debut. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Blinkered on four of his last five starts; flopped when 5-4 favourite behind Elysian Flame at Beverley (2m, good to soft) in April but this month's second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good; made most and rallied well) was his closest finish since 2yo and gives some renewed hope. |
