11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers have been added and latest was over 7f here (good) in May; well held in his last two runs (1m2f/1m) but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and is well drawn back at this trip; not ruled out. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers were added (7f/1m), most recently over 7f at Chester last month off 3lb lower; didn't get home there over 1m2f (good to soft) 11 days ago but should be happier back at this trip. |

Made his first appearance here a winning one when landing 7f handicap (good) a fortnight ago; always handy from a low draw that day and his stamina for this trip is in question; still not ruled out. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Led late when beating Sergeant Wilko at Thirsk last month and he had a few of today's rivals in behind when second at Chester four weeks ago; another solid effort at York a fortnight ago but he has to prove his effectiveness on AW. |
10/1 |
|
6th 12 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third stable start and close second at Chester (7f, good) subsequently; won here in September 2024 on sole previous course visit and this in-form 4yo could again be thereabouts. |
10/1 |

2nd 12 (8) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Performed well (first and third) at Chester in last two turf attempts and may be capable of further progress returned to this sphere; helps to give his connections, who also run Aalto, a robust hand. |
9/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Good effort to win a 7.6f handicap at Chester on his reappearance and he ran to a similar level when third back there (7f) four weeks ago; today's stiffer test at the trip will suit and he has shown promise on AW. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Finished close up in fifth in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last year (1m, good to firm); his 3yo campaign rather fizzled out but he dropped in the weights as a result and took full advantage with his 7.6f success here 24 days ago; well drawn again and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him. |

Winless last season but ran some promising races and did likewise when fourth on his reappearance at Chester (7f, good; Supido third), having been dropped in from a wide draw; continues to drop down the weights; chance. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Front-runner; 4-4 on AW but unplaced in both turf runs; he will need a career best to come out on top but he is well drawn to attack and still has low mileage. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done really well front-running over 7f on the AW for new yard, winning all three starts; has more to prove up another 5lb and dropped to 6f on the return to turf but he's perfectly capable of giving it a good shot on grass, having run well under a penalty in a good novice at Doncaster last spring. |
6/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |

Bought for 32,000gns from the Gosdens; 2-2 since gelded, just doing enough to fend off Epictetus at Chelmsford (7f, Class 4) over a month ago; now 2lb higher as he bids to remain unbeaten for current connections (2-2) and on AW (3-3); solid credentials. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Won a 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark; another solid effort when a close sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; more needed to come out on top here. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Two-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and is just 1lb higher here; however, he's finished unplaced on turf on his last three starts and needs to raise his game. |

9st 7lb |
Has won in Bahrain but all eight British wins have come at Chester (5f/6f); his last success was in May but he's gone backwards since and was beaten 14l in the Wokingham last time; now returns to Chester but he's drawn out wide and has something to prove back up in trip. |

Overall record of 3-11 but he's not been easy to predict; finished down the field here when last seen in May but he's now only 1lb higher than when completing a double in this race last year; cheekpieces are reapplied after a short break and he needs a close look on this drop back in grade. |

Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures. |

Ready winner of a C&D handicap last summer off a 12lb lower mark; better than ever when a close fourth in a Wolverhampton Listed race in March and he faced a stiff task at Haydock three weeks ago; should give his running but could find one or two stronger back in handicap company. |

10st 2lb |
Capitalised on a golden opportunity for easy win at 8-13 in a seller at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that may have given his confidence a boost and he's unexposed in the retained tongue-tie/cheekpieces, but he's opposable on what he's achieved in handicaps this season. |
