13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

Capable handicapper off this mark but has gone badly off the boil in last three races, admittedly in higher grades; still has a bit to prove now and failed to fire on his previous visit here. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Perhaps best over further but he was only nabbed late on over C&D last week and, although 1lb higher, Toby Moore rides him for the first time claiming 7lb; can be inconsistent but he's run three excellent races in defeat around here; solid chance. |
11/2 |

2nd 5 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse last year; hasn't seriously threatened back on the Flat for current yard (best effort was here in May) and ideally wants further. |

3rd 6 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Winning miler for Andrew Balding; quiet stable debut but has perked up for blinkers, going close at Ayr (1m2f) and Hamilton (8.3f); kept on well last time, suggesting this return to further will benefit. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 1m scorer for Andrew Balding in 2024; off 22 months but quickly back on track with second of ten in 1m2f handicap at Ayr 11 days ago; needs considering off an unchanged mark. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-24 on AW but 0-13 on turf; returned to form when second over C&D (good; Class 3) two weeks ago but he dictated steady fractions from the front and it probably flatters him; still commands some attention. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
6-24 on AW but 0-12 on turf; recent efforts have been underwhelming and he's probably better suited by 1m4f; not the percentage call. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Six-time AW winner but he's 0-11 on turf and has struggled at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) and Hamilton (1m5f, good) in last two runs; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he has plenty to prove back at this trip. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
French turf/AW winner (7.5f/1m2f) in 2023; yet to be placed for this stable but he almost certainly needed his first start for 806 days when sixth of seven at Chester (1m2f, good) last time; dropped another 3lb and he may take a step forward. |
25/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
French turf/AW winner (7.5f/1m2f) early in 2023; choppy waters afterwards and has been absent since finishing tailed off in the Chester Plate in May 2024. |
66/1 |
|
16th 5 (13) |
10th May 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
French turf/AW winner (7.5f/1m2f) early in 2023; largely struggled on turf in Bahrain over the winter and although there have been better signs on British AW when an outsider in his two runs since, he still needs to build on that; unraced beyond 1m4f. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Popped up at 20-1 in a 7f handicap at Chester in May; no comparable form since and unlikely he will be able to dominate in this field. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who went off too fast for his own good over the extended 7f here two weeks ago and folded, which was also the case in his two previous runs; on a handy mark if he did get any freedom up front, though stamina doubts remain over quite this far. |
33/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers have been added and latest was over 7f here (good) in May; well held in his last two runs (1m2f/1m) but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and is well drawn back at this trip; not ruled out. |
