Dual AW winner whose most recent success came at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; below his best at Chester last time but drops back into class 6 company with claims. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed on his three starts here, all over this trip, including when he scored off 2lb higher in February and when giving Rubellite plenty to think about in first-time cheekpieces in June; like most of the field he was stuffed at Chester last time but his prospects are much brighter returned to this venue. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner at around 1m4f and his best efforts on turf have been at Beverley; failed to beat a rival home at Haydock (1m6f, good) last month and now steps up to 2m with a tongue-tie added; best to look elsewhere. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
His second at Catterick in July was a remote one and he's finished down the field on his three starts since; others are preferred. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Dual AW winner in France (1m/9.5f); beaten 12l when second of five at Catterick (2m, good to firm) last month and he's struggled in both starts since; this drop back in trip may help but others are preferred. |
16/1 |

Dual AW winner in France (1m/9.5f); beaten 13l when second of five over this C&D (good to firm) last month and was well beaten at Newcastle (2m, AW) four days ago; others have stronger claims. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last April; looked an unlucky loser when runner-up at Beverley (1m4f, good) in June but he's been below his best in both starts since; needs to return to form back on the AW. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear. |
100/30 |

4th 4 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins in 2025, two on the AW (1m4f) and once over hurdles; banging at the door on turf this summer, second over C&D ten days ago when not enjoying a clear run; another good run seems likely. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Record is only 1-15 and he was a beaten favourite last time; however, finished a good second off 6lb higher in this race last year (soft) and holds a fighting chance back here. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Below his best in recent starts, including at Ayr last month over 1m2f, but is now 2lb lower than for his C&D success last August, that being his only previous win; cheekpieces removed and can't be discounted. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Back to the mark off which he won at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last August; finished third in his first two runs this year but not at the same level on his last two starts; drops in trip/grade and could bounce back to form. |
6/1 |
