11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins over 1m4f, the last three on Tapeta; not seen since a career best to win at Wolverhampton in January and he's 4lb higher here; twice runner-up on turf last year; may need to hit a new turf high but he requires a second look given this small field. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Triple 1m4f winner, including on Tapeta; handicapper has just had his measure since his last win but he's gone very close several times, the latest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); up 1lb; respected. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins over 1m2f (good/good to firm) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't been in peak form in four starts this term; still unexposed at this trip but he needs to raise his game. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins, all over 1m2f, last season (good/good to firm; two here); best run this term when second of four at Hamilton last time (1m5f, good to firm); a possible. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Returned to form to win at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this month and he's since been second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm), albeit no match for the progressive winner; there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |
13/2 |

2nd 5 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Consistent 6yo who was placed at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and remains 1lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to firm) just over a year ago; ought to be right in the thick of things. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Consistent 6yo who was beaten under 1l when fourth of eight at Chester (extended 1m4f, good) 12 days ago and will be fine over this shorter trip; likely to be on the premises again. |

9st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden; second of five in tactical race at Epsom last month and didn't run badly when third of five at Doncaster (also 1m4f, good to firm) nine days later, despite racing too freely, but others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
No course form but acts on good and faster ground; it took six races to get off the mark, when odds-on over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield in June, and he proved very disappointing when a shade of odds-on for last month's handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f; beaten 18l); now goes in cheekpieces and he could be given another chance, especially as the horse he beat in his novice has won since. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm; placed over 1m2f on first four starts this season, before comfortably justifying 4-6 favouritism in a 11.6f novice at Lingfield on latest outing; this unchanged, opening handicap mark seems to demand more but he may have more to offer at this sort of trip. |
