9st 0lb |
9yo who looked as good as ever when making all with something to spare at Sandown (1m, good) in May on his sole run this season; however, he's never defied a mark this high and may be vulnerable in this hot contest. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Fresher than most, having raced just twice this term, runner-up on AW last time; attractively treated on peak form, which includes a success off 5lb higher in the 2024 Lincoln on soft ground. |
5/1 |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
The most recent of his five wins came in the 2024 Lincoln on soft; left the impression his first start for 324 days was needed when sixth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but this C&D winner has been off again since. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on firm but best form on soft, as when winning the Lincoln (1m) in 2024; lightly raced with little return since but he was hampered on Newcastle AW last June; entitled to be rusty for new trainer on this first run since; missed a race earlier this month due to good to firm ground. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark. |

Continues to drop down the weights but this 8yo struggled in the main last season and it was the same story on last month's reappearance; needs to turn things around. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Without a win since April 2024; just three runs for this yard, the standout being his fourth over 1m on the AW; wouldn't be the most solid option but has more races in him and this ground will be fine. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was in April 2024 but he hasn't been with John Butler for long and he showed signs of a revival when fourth at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month; has claims if he can build on that and he should be fine back at this trip. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
A useful 1m winner at his best for Jack Channon; offered little in two runs for Brian Toomey this spring though and came in last of 14 for John Butler in 7f handicap here four weeks ago; no surprise if he took a step forward though with new yard among the winners. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August but he's been well held in last two runs including when last of five at Newmarket (1m, soft) last week; has quite a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |
9/1 |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent turf form this year includes two wins at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August; better than bare result (hampered) last time; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in grade. |

8th 1 (8) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Two Pontefract wins this month and he turned in another solid effort when third at Redcar last week; effective over C&D and should make another bold bid. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |

Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender. |
6/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest. |
6/1 |

9th 8 (12) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

Veteran who won this race in 2016 and 2022, albeit was in ostensibly better form at the time on both occasions; absent since a below-par effort over C&D five months ago; the market signals may prove helpful. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Prominent racer; made all to win at Musselburgh in June and he followed that with a solid second at Beverley three weeks ago; each-way shout. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Off the mark for the season when winning by a neck at Musselburgh last time (7f, good); could go well again but bit disappointing in only previous run here. |
7/2 |
Verdict
Hafeet Alain has got back to his best of late and holds strong claims but preference is for DASHING ROGER who bolted up at Nottingham last time to make it 2-2 on heavy ground. Zozimus was denied a clear run when fourth to Hafeet Alain at York last time and is third on the list, while Mr Professor and Metal Merchant also arrive in good form.[Ben Hutton]
