23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Off since below-par run in October but the form of his breakthrough win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in September worked out quite well; cheekpieces (worn once last summer) are given another whirl; contender if fully tuned up. |
11/2 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Well down the pecking order in his top yard but opened his hurdles account in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good; beat a subsequent scorer) most recently and may build on that solid success; respected. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-12 over hurdles but he ran well to finished second off this mark at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) in February; this is a deeper race but he's versatile ground-wise and has each-way claims again after a short break. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |

Still a maiden over hurdles and he was beaten off current mark, having made mistakes, at Huntingdon (2m4f) on most recent attempt in this sphere. |

12st 0lb |
0-9 under rules; knocking firmly at the door through the winter, collared close home over 2m7f here (soft; third, 15-8 favourite) in February; reappears from a 115-day break from a 2lb higher mark, but with Lewis Saunders claiming a handy 3lb; tongue-tie added and drop back in trip is helpful. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner (2m/2m3f, good) towards end of 2024; not yet fully exposed but returned from one-year absence with disappointing chase run in April and needs to get career back on track. |
10/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
2-4 over hurdles last season, with both wins gained on good ground (2m/2m3f); probably still has potential but was just a respectable fifth when upped to 2m7f for chasing debut at Kelso (good; first-time cheekpieces) last April and this is his first run since. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
No win for three years but, in all fairness, he hasn't seen a massive amount of action, and he's handily weighted from this 6lb lower mark; bumped into the thriving Ice Jet at Worcester (2m4f; runner-up, beaten over 1l) latest, and a repeat of that should see him on the premises. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made it 6-17 over fences with his brave win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; flopped in his follow-up bid at Huntingdon (pulled up) but he's only 1lb higher than for that penultimate run and he won here in the summer; player if he can bounce back. |
5/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual chase winner this season, latterly when battling on well at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and has a course hurdle win on his CV; ought to be right in the thick of things. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Without a win since 2023 and was out of form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; this year's Flat form has been fairly respectable but he's on the downgrade and makes only limited appeal back in this sphere. |
14/1 |

4th 4 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
7f win for Ed Walker as a 2yo; modest form on Flat and over hurdles for new yard this year; Royal Ascot was fanciful latest and although this is more realistic, others still bring more compelling claims. |
25/1 |

13th 13 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7f winner for previous yard but very minor form under both codes for this one and it would be the shock of all shocks if he won this. |

Only modest form shown thus far and he had breathing surgery before coming in a remote fourth of nine in 2m1f Exeter handicap 25 days ago; cheekpieces are now tried. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Twice a runner-up in Irish points and has hinted at ability in two starts over hurdles since joining this stable, but is likely one for handicaps in due course. |
33/1 |
|
7th 10 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Pulled up in a bumper in Ireland before finishing runner-up in two points; joined this yard for 19,000euros in April; sixth of seven finishers at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) on hurdles debut nine days ago and unlikely to be seen to advantage until she is eligible for handicaps. |

Well held when third at Warwick (2m, good) last month, after a break, but gained her wins in the last two editions of this race and is now 2lb lower than last year; likely to have been primed for a bold defence. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Only 1-38 but was second at Southwell last time and should encounter a similar scenario here; likely to run well. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from break with low-key chase run last month and fell mid-race when back over hurdles nine days ago but remains on a good mark and will be suited by today's trip/ground; can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |
Betting Forcast
12/1 Roadshow, 5/1 Blue Universe, 3/1 Little Ledgend, 25/1 Achille Des Rocs, 8/1 Estacas, 14/1 Midnight Jewel, 5/1 The Grayster, 9/1 Bashful Boy, 33/1 Pivotal Days, 25/1 The Padster, 12/1 Medina Blue, 10/1 Quick Of The Night, 12/1 Gone In Sixty
Verdict
Little Ledgend could find improvement in the new headgear, so heads the list of dangers. However, THE GRAYSTER makes appeal stepping up in trip for his handicap debut, having undergone wind surgery ahead of this first start for Dan Skelton. Blue Universe, Estacas and Bashful Boy are others to consider in an open contest.[Tim Mitchell]
