20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out. |

9th 6 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four turf wins have been gained on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in his first two runs this season but he returned to form when beating Jumby over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher here and has leading claims if he can back that up. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was was in 2023 but that was a Group 3 event and he went close behind Where's Freddy over C&D (good to firm; 3-1 favourite) 13 days ago; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form; visor added. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
On a three-year losing run and nothing like the force of old but his current mark reflects that and this is a good bit easier than the two handicaps he tackled in the spring; no surprise were this class dropper to go well with his yard among the winners. |
8/1 |

12th 29 (24) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time Group winner over 7f but is on a near three-year losing spell and current mark reflects that he's not the force of old (admittedly showed bits of useful form in 2025); needs to step up on reappearance effort; failed to shine in the last two runnings of this contest. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Winning debut on AW at Wolverhampton (7f) last March but was well held in two handicaps later; however, he posted a solid effort when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on reappearance, having undergone wind/gelding operations, and should come on for that; this return to 1m could suit. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't build on a promising start on AW last spring, including well held in 1m Haydock handicap (good to soft) on sole turf start; has been gelded and had a second wind operation ahead of this return from eight months off; it's still early days but his profile isn't compelling. |
7/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Prescott colt whose 7f AW novice form features a win (debut) and good fourth; paid for kicking clear too soon last time; had wind surgery since; bred to stay this new trip and remains open to further progress. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when winning over C&D (good) last month but he was well held back here (fifth of seven) 13 days ago; finished behind some of today's rivals in that race and he needs to step up again after that. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces (added to tongue-tie) when edging ahead late on over C&D (good) four weeks ago; not the most convincing (carries head awkwardly under pressure) but he's only been nudged up 2lb. |
9/4 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Expensive to follow since picked up from Charles Hills (turned over three times as favourite this year) and is tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore a hood at Yarmouth in the spring); a good test over a stiff 7f is fine but he doesn't always convince. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over further when hooded and he's 0-7 at about 7f (has placed form); hasn't really fired in any of his last three races but this is easier than he's accustomed to; unraced at Chester. |
9/2 |

5th 4 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Threatened on AW and turf in the spring but his last two efforts have been below par (C&D latterly); feasibly handicapped but others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Not at his best two weeks ago but he had been threatening on both AW and turf beforehand; on a dangerous mark and he can't be discounted. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-9 on the AW but he has gone close on two occasions, including when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f) in December; below his best on his next two outings and was last of seven at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; needs to take a step forward. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; also close second off 1lb higher at Lingfield (7f) in December but his form dipped in two subsequent starts last winter; off for 169 days so his peak fitness has to be taken on trust. |
