18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success came in a Kempton AW handicap in July last year when trained by Tom Ward; had an unsuccessful stint over hurdles this year for current yard, and well held in a couple of 2m handicaps since; drops back in trip on AW return and best watched for now. |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Pulled up in successive handicap hurdles before beaten about 11l in a 2m handicap at Chester; has a bit to prove, but encouraging that best Flat form has been on this surface. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Prolific AW winner, most recently when darting 14l clear at Wolverhampton (2m) in June; narrowly exploited lower turf mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last month but he pulled clear with the runner-up and remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher; shortlisted. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf. |

3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip. |
13/8 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Perhaps better over further and when going close over C&D a month ago he was edged out by a 66-1 chance who wasn't in much form before that race and has disappointed since; may need a tad more here, though Taryn Langley takes off a handy 5lb. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) for Alan King in February but dropped out quite tamely on recent stable debut (2m, AW) and this shorter trip may not be ideal for him nowadays. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
A dual 1m4f scorer who signed off for Alan King with a solid fourth of ten in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; has since changed hands for 10,000gns and needs to hit the ground running for his new yard. |

2nd 1 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when narrowly beating a subsequent winner last month; only fifth of eight at Kempton on Wednesday but that was at 2m in a Class 5 and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip/grade. |
6/1 |

5th 6 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when just beating a subsequent winner from 3lb lower last month; ran well in one previous visit here and, although yet to attempt this far on the Flat, would be a player if he stays. |

1st 4 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ran well when upped to 1m4f at Thirsk (good) in May and has run to a similar level in both starts since, including when second of five at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago; claims if seeing out this longer trip. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
0-6 but he went close in a Thirsk handicap (1m4f, good) in May and backed that up with a creditable third in similar conditions at Goodwood last month; on the same mark as last time and he should be in the mix again; cheekpieces added. |
7/2 |
Betting Forcast
6/1 Kingdom Of Stars, 5/2 The Craftymaster, 13/2 Letmebetheboss, 9/1 Fair Dinkum, 11/1 One Cool Dreamer, 6/1 V Power, 15/8 Boilermaker
Verdict
Nothing comes into this in better form than The Craftmaster (second choice) but he has finished behind V POWER on both occasions they have met, so Thomas Faulkner’s gelding is taken to confirm the form and make it four wins over C&D under Zoe Lewis. The 3yo Boilermaker has looked a progressive young stayer on turf and is much feared if as effective back on the AW.[David Bellingham]
