9st 7lb |
All six wins over 5f on various ground on turf, the latest when beating three rivals in an apprentice handicap at Chepstow in July; form has regressed in three starts since so needs the return to Class 6 company to bring about a resurgence. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |

Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |

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. |

Off the mark at the 20th attempt at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in June; however, he's failed to kick on from that; unproven on slow ground. |

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. |

Ended a long losing run when running away with a 6f classified event here (soft) in June; suffered a troubled run through over 6f here last week, his first start for 114 days, and he should be in the thick of the action here granted any luck in running. |

All eight wins over this trip on various ground and was ending a 17-race losing run when making all and just holding on to beat Darkened Edge by a head over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 2lb but could still be dangerous if enjoying an uncontested lead. |

5th 4 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Placed three times from seven starts since returned to turf in May; no match for easy winner when second over C&D (good to firm) last month and remains well below the best of last year's form but still has possibilities; often wears cheekpieces but goes in refitted blinkers today. |
