15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won twice over hurdles for Stuart Crawford, latterly at Ayr (2m4f) in November 2024; has gone the wrong way and competes from 14lb out of the handicap on this fourth run for current trainer, having had wind surgery since latest; by far the least likely candidate. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won two handicap hurdles for Stuart Crawford but he's not looking as good over fences and was behind Garde Des Champs here last time. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Seized the initiative, already having the race in safe keeping when left clear at the second last, at Doncaster (2m3f, good; from 9lb lower) in February; well beaten at Southwell subsequently and likely to face competition for the lead here; close to a career best required. |
5/1 |

7th 9 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
None too consistent but he made it 4-12 over fences when scoring by 20l at Doncaster (2m3f, good; was left clear late on) and he's only 4lb higher for this return to hurdles; still comes with risks given overall profile and he's 0-9 in this discipline. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Started off for James Moffatt with two good-ground wins in May, the latter over C&D; ran as though something was amiss here three weeks ago but could still have more improvement to come for new stable if quickly back on song; cheekpieces (worn twice in 2024) are given another whirl. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |

2-2 since joining James Moffatt, latest win over C&D last month (good); up another 7lb (15lb rise in total) but should go well again. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Last season ended on a low note, as he wasn't in much form before pulling up here in April behind Yes And Yes; the cheekpieces returned for his June run and he perhaps went off too hard having been clear at one stage (often front runs); has wellbeing issues to address, but he's on a handy mark and Jack Tudor is back aboard replacing a 7lb claimer (up top last three races). |
9/2 |
|
5th 4 |
23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Ended last season with three poor runs but is now 3lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in cheekpieces just over a year ago and might be boosted by the returning headgear. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Well handicapped on old form but failed to complete three consecutive races in April-June and was well beaten here (2m1f) on Saturday; difficult to enthuse over. |
33/1 |
|
7th 6 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won off 16lb higher at Worcester (2m4f, good) in August 2024 but he's lost his way and has failed to complete in his last three runs; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival on this big drop back in trip. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f); bounced back from two lacklustre efforts when staying on to go close here (3m1f, good; usual tongue-tie/blinkers left off) on Saturday and remains well handicapped but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2024. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f) and has slipped to a dangerous mark but looked out of sorts on both starts here last month (2m5f/3m1f) and now has questions to answer. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
1-16 over hurdles, having gained a hard-fought course win (2m6f, good) in May; evidently well suited by this track but will need to find hidden reserves to overcome a 4lb higher mark on this chasing debut. |
12/1 |

2nd 12 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt over hurdles, over C&D (good) last month; 4lb higher but should give a good account in her follow-up bid. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
One of two to pull clear of the others when opening account at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March, and both subsequent fourths (3m/3m1f; latter was here) were perfectly respectable; may benefit from this drop back in trip; no surprise if he features. |

Newcastle winner in March (2m7f, good to soft) who was a fair fourth of eight at Perth last time (3m, good to soft); a possible. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |

Sole win in 68 career starts did at least come over fences but he's not in much form and 10lb out of the weights. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on both starts this year (3m1f/2m3f) and makes no appeal from 10lb out of the handicap. |

Betting Forcast
25/1 Kinbara Firstdraft, 25/1 Bravethewaves, 9/1 Halfway House Lad, 13/2 Illogical Logic, 9/2 Blazing Court, 6/1 Judicial Review, 5/1 Roi Du Roume, 5/1 Path Of Stars, 4/1 Aill Dubh, 10/1 Scoro, 100/1 Fast Deal
Verdict
Scoro needs monitoring in the market, but as it stands Aill Dubh’s race over C&D last month may hold the key to this. Blazing Court and Path Of Stars are feared but would have a going query if the ground turns soft. That doesn’t apply to JUDICIAL REVIEW, however, and he can win this race for the third time at the chief expense of Aill Dubh. It will be interesting to see if Roi Du Roume’s regular backers are out in force again and he’s also respected, while an emotional success for Illogical Logic isn’t out of the question.[Richard Russell]
