2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time winner, but his last success was over two years ago and he's never scored over this far; finished third at Chepstow (1m2f) in July but he didn't match that in a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last time and others are preferred; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

All four wins, including three at Wolverhampton, have come at around 1m2f; this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina, but he drops to this level for the first time so is well worth a second look. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW in the winter before two heavy defeats; didn't run badly back on turf at Haydock (1m, good) last month after a break but the AW seems to be his preferred sphere (just 1-15 on grass). |
33/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner but he was disappointing at Southwell (1m) in his final two runs during the winter; has won on turf but that was a long time ago and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; opposable on return. |

Disappointing here three weeks ago but he'd been in good form beforehand, second at Wolverhampton and Lingfield around the turn of the year; needs a full revival to win though. |

10st 0lb |
Ayr winner in July (1m, good to firm) and solid runs since then off today's 5lb higher mark, finishing just ahead of Milteye (Walsingham further back) on his return to Ayr and then beating all bar a Prescott 3yo on the AW; hard to knock. |

Gained his seventh success when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July and ran another solid race there last month off the same mark as today's; respected but he is yet to win off a mark this high. |

Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
One-time useful AW handicapper but 0-8 over hurdles, though he went close at this level a couple of times over the summer; appeared to stay this sort of trip when a 5l third of ten at Downpatrick last time and looks sure to be involved. |
2/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find. |

Won off 1lb higher at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January but her subsequent form hasn't come up to scratch, including back on turf at Bath last month; now 0-6 on grass and others have less to prove. |

5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Triple AW winner who swooped late when scoring at Lingfield (1m2f) in January but she was tailed off back there (first-time cheekpieces) in March; back on last winning mark but has something to prove with visor now tried and her last turf run was in 2023. |

Ended a long losing run at Carlisle (1m, good) in September and ran creditably when third at Ayr next time; arrives in form but he's 0-8 here and fully exposed. |

Snapped a losing run dating back to June 2024 when holding on by a neck at Carlisle (1m, good) last week; generally consistent but hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up under a 4lb penalty. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |

Generally consistent this year but Sunday's York run was a big step backwards; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he has a modest strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes. |

Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Has gained both wins (AW/turf) at about 1m but recent effort suggest she's ready for a crack at 1m2f; drops back in grade off a workable mark and has a fighting chance on best form. |

Similar type to Overnight Oats, having gone down by only half a length in C&D contest (good) on latest outing; raced mainly in Class 5 and now goes back up in grade but having Epsom form is a major plus; likely to perform well again; one for the shortlist. |

Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though. |

Dual winner for Roger Varian in 2022; three changes of stable since and best effort for a while came on latest start when second of seven off this mark over C&D (good to firm); withdrawn in early July on account of being unruly at the start but has a chance if behaving. |

Dual winner for Roger Varian who's been around a bit and not been anything like as good since returning from a year off; stumbled at Bath last time and the handicapper's easing off quickly but he needs a deal more. |
