Won twice as a 3yo, including a handicap at Goodwood (1m, good) last May; placed on his first two starts this year (1m/1m2f) but below his best when held in fourth at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) 46 days ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a Ffos Las maiden (7.4f, heavy) and a Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) last September; well held in handicaps in his last two starts including on his reappearance at Sandown (7f, good; first start since being gelded) in June; needs to rebound. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Maiden (heavy) and novice (AW) wins last season before coming up well short in a sales race at York in October, again over 7f; gelded since but may need that procedure to have brought him on as this mark doesn't look a gift by any means. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in April and he went close on Polytrack and turf in his next two starts; didn't really fire at Newmarket (1m, good) last time but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts. |
11/2 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won a maiden on turf (1m, good to soft) in 2023, but his other wins have been on the AW; beaten only 2l when seventh of 11 over C&D last time; each-way chance. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All three wins have been on Polytrack and latest was over C&D in April; only 2lb higher than for that success but he's been well held in both subsequent runs (AW/turf) and needs to rediscover his spark. |
10/1 |
|
12th 2 (11) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
All three wins on AW but below par at Kempton last time; fifth of ten at Epsom on sole turf outing last spring; bit to prove back on grass. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back from wind surgery with 7f novice win on Polytrack in 2025 and he's well treated on the pick of his later form on turf; probably handles Tapeta but he dropped right out on yard debut at York in June, following nearly a year off the track, and it's no easy matter assessing him today. |
25/1 |
|
18th 21 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He's on a competitive mark on his best form for Andrew Balding, which includes a good third of 22 over C&D (good) last May; market check advised on first run since last July, having been gelded and changed hands for 62,000gns in the interim, but he needs to be at the very top of his game. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won three 1m handicaps (AW/good) last year and was fourth in an earlier race on this card 12 months ago when the ground was good to soft; the clear negative is complete no-shows in his last three starts. |
13/2 |
Betting Forcast
5/2 Cavolo Nero, 4/1 Malachys Wish, 8/1 Helm Rock, 6/1 Talis Evolvere, 11/4 Rogue Defence, 20/1 Port Road, 25/1 White Crown Star, 12/1 Port Erin

Verdict
A case can be made for the majority but ROGUE DEFENCE switches to handicaps defending an unbeaten AW record and can keep the run going. Malachy’s Wish is similarly on the up and can give him most to do, while it would be no surprise if Talis Evolvere proved resurgent from his reduced mark.[Richard Russell]
