C&D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles. |

Reliable sort who broke losing run over C&D last month; didn't improve for the return to 6f last time but he'll be happier back at this trip and he's not without a chance. |

Hasn't raced over 6f since the 2023 Ayr Bronze Cup; some solid 5f form this winter and, while the trip is a slight query (0-16), he was placed in a 0-85 in July 2022; today's rider knows him and is good value for his claim, especially in an apprentice race; could go well. |

8st 12lb |
Has had a say in 6f Listed races on last two starts (good to soft/good to firm) but now 15lb higher than her latest handicap defeat, at Epsom in April, which surely puts the brakes on in this company. |

4yo who has been progressive this year and ran a cracker when fourth in Listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago; effective on fast ground in the past and could be thereabouts. |

In good form in 5f handicaps at Southwell (AW; won) and Epsom (close third) this season, while shaping as if this return to 6f will suit; however, has the worst chance at the weights in this higher grade. |

Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level. |

Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago. |

9st 8lb |
Drew nicely clear to end lengthy losing run in basement-grade classified race on turf return at Nottingham (6f, soft) on Thursday; faces tougher task here but remains well handicapped on older form (even under 4lb penalty) and will be fine on the faster ground. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer. |

Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Returned to form when third off 5lb higher at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May; this 8yo has finished soundly beaten on both starts since but has been without cheekpieces, which return today and could be key. |
