21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Well handicapped on the pick of last year's AW form and he may have needed his comeback run at Thirsk in May; however, this 9yo was well beaten and is without a win on turf since September 2021; others are more compelling. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
York win last summer came off 15lb higher, which shows how things have gone in the meantime; can miss the break (including in first-time headgear latest; now removed) but this race is easier than he's used to; career-low mark. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has a poor strike-rate over the last three years and has proved inconsistent since last success (off 12lb higher); chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won off 10lb higher at York (5f, good) last June but disappointing since and has form figures of 690 this season; has a lot to prove and needs a major revival but stable is in good form and market strength would be interesting. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has not had much luck and continues to give the impression that this mark, which is just 2lb higher than when winning at Windsor in the spring, is within range; another who tends to be ridden from off the pace and he wouldn't want a messy affair. |
5/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A slow start did for him in the Epsom Dash last time and this is less competitive over a stiffer 5f; current mark should be within range if he gets away better and finds the race setting up for him. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No problem with 7f last backend and he has been running over 6f this summer, latterly when making all at Doncaster early in the month; came away with a subsequent winner that day and finally getting off the mark should have helped confidence; a 4lb rise looks fair. |
