4th 3 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Having a fine year with success over hurdles and on the Flat (1m4f; stays this far), while latest fourth at Ascot was very respectable; solid claims. |
5/2 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has won six races on the Flat at up to 1m6f and this year is going particularly well, with two hurdle wins and now two over about 1m4f on Flat (on good ground at Salisbury and Chester); raised 4lb to career-high mark but should be fine back on good to firm and he's never been better. |

1st 2 (2) |

Has won five on the Flat at up to 1m6f; off the mark for this Flat season when winning at Salisbury by 4.5l 13 days ago; up 6lb but a contender. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Productive on Flat and over hurdles since early last summer; creditable second, one place in front of L'Eagle Aid who admittedly came from a poorer position, over C&D most recently; major contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went up 29lb for his four wins last season; wasn't at his best on first Flat run this year when last of five at Ripon (had been running well over hurdles); bit to prove. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
One of three wins came over C&D in July of last year (promoted after dead-heating); solid runs in his last three races, two at Chester; tactically versatile and should be in the mix; first-time headgear. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gradually coming back to form this term and last two efforts, both at Chester, can be marked up (met late trouble latest); remains on last winning mark and he is 1-1 over C&D (novice success two years ago); respected assuming fortune is back on his side. |
7/4 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by about 1m4f; form over C&D features a success (off current mark) in this race last year and resurgent effort, doing well to finish third having been slowly away then come from a difficult position, in latest start; respected. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four of his 17 turf races at up to 1m2f; respectable 2.75l third of 18 at York last time (1m2.5f good); interesting, although pulled hard and didn't seem to get home on only previous try at 1m4f. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 16 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Went up 20lb for his four wins last season and has found life much tougher this term; fair run last time at Beverley but plenty to find with the winner, Mao Shang Wong. |
25/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish; eight-race maiden; hasn't run to his best on the AW for Phil Kirby, but may fare better back on turf. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove. |
13/2 |
|
10th 6 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Second at Killarney (1m6f) last summer in two of three Irish handicaps for John Joseph Murphy, trying cheekpieces when short-headed on latest outing (good); off 210 days but this lightly raced AW newcomer needs a second look. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have been at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) and latest was 11 months ago; finished a close third off 1lb higher at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held with cheekpieces tried at Chester last time; the headgear is quickly discarded but he comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four times on the AW but is 0-23 on turf, although has been placed on 12 occasions; decent third at Bath last time (1m6f, good); each-way chance; cheekpieces now tried. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has competitive course form, including a respectable fourth over the extended 7f in June; this is more his trip but he needs to bounce back from two forgettable runs at 1m4f (here) and 9.4f (AW). |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D in December but all of his other wins have came on turf; exposed and others may have more in their lockers. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His five wins include two here, the second over this trip on fast ground in May 2024; versatile, though, for his latest win was over 1m1f at Goodwood last month (good to soft) and last run was when fourth over 7.5f here (soft); chance back up in trip. |

9st 6lb |
Steady improvement first four starts, winning Lingfield maiden (1m2f, soft) in June; didn't give his running when last of eight on handicap debut at Chester six weeks ago, but he's in good hands and may well bounce back. |
4/1 |

8th 9 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Unexposed 3yo; off the mark in a Lingfield maiden last time (1m2f; soft); this step up in trip may well suit him and could go well on handicap debut. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He's shown ability on all three starts, most recently beaten just under 3l when a front-running fourth of 12 at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm; unraced on softer); he's one to consider. |
