6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded the 19th win of his career when scoring at Beverley in May; recent efforts need bettering if he is to take this though. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Grand servant to connections and he was recording the 19th win of his long career when successful at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; four subsequent defeats have seen him slip to a mark 2lb lower than for that win; has won over C&D but likely vulnerable to younger rivals. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable veteran who had a wicked draw in a C&D handicap last month that he'd won three times before; better boxed this time and there was much to like about his previous effort at Thirsk; considered. |

8st 13lb |
Positives include a penchant for soft ground and a C&D record that reads 1166126113; beaten in a Class 4 handicap last month though and she faces a stiff task in this company. |
40/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |

10st 4lb |
Eight-time turf winner including on fast and soft ground; ended last season with a good fourth in a Listed race at Ascot (5f) but she's been out of sorts in her four runs this year; on dangerous mark but she needs to get back on track. |

10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Listed winner over C&D as a 2yo; also ran well over C&D on her reappearance at the Dante meeting here and confirmed her liking for the track with a close fourth in a 0-105 handicap at the Ebor meeting; won't need much extra for the addition of a visor to play a part. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Encouraging start for this yard with two fifth-place finishes off higher marks in the spring; however, his form has gone the wrong way subsequently and he needs to turn things around. |
9/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Encouraging start for this yard with two fifth-place finishes at Leicester and York (also 6f) in the spring but his last two starts haven't been as promising; nicely treated and he does have form here so a revival isn't out of the question. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Ran well in Listed/Group races in 2024; on a three-year losing spell but his Class 2 form this term for new yard includes a couple of encouraging efforts; possibilities off current mark back down in grade. |

He wasn't disgraced in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot but Hamilton last time was a backward step; goes without headgear today and stable may hold stronger claims with Seven Questions. |

19th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to Britain off a lofty mark having done well in Bahrain this winter; struggled initially but he didn't run badly when seventh of 25 in the Wokingham last month; wouldn't want much more rain. |
9/1 |

7th 15 (13) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Close second in Listed Windsor Castle here as 2yo but well held in the big 5f handicap here last June and his 6f Bahrain win at Christmas didn't go far enough to convince that he's right for this race; others in better form, too, with first-time cheekpieces (retained) no help last time. |
