Acts on soft; close third on penultimate start, inconsistent otherwise this year; three-time winner at Chester and has possibilities back here, provided he takes well to first-time visor. |

7f course winner who had dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last December when beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; races off the same mark but this trip looks to be right on the limit of his stamina. |

9st 3lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; not at his best in two turf starts this summer but his mark has eased 4lb as a result and his better AW record provides hope for a revival. |

Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
The oldest contender and a familiar face, having taken part in this race for the last four years (form figures read 6529); beat all bar Eldrickjones over C&D last month but the return to this better grade presents a tougher task. |

Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021; second in it last year; has continued in good form in the main since winning over C&D last November (didn't run badly at Doncaster latest) and is on the shortlist now back here. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run goes back to C&D win in March 2024 but in good form on this track for his last yard, albeit he didn't help his mark by running well from out of the weights in July and he's now 4lb higher than for a defeat here the time before; likely to go well for new stable, even so. |
4/1 |

Winless since 2024 (over C&D) but runner-up in 1m handicaps here on his last two starts; can't be dismissed despite being 3lb out of the handicap. |

2nd 14 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when third in this last year and he returned to form when going close over C&D early this month; has a modest strike-rate but he can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Still seeking a first win for this yard and, although he continues to drop down the weights, this looks too competitive. |
25/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here. |

9st 11lb |
Just one win in 25 starts since his successful debut despite a sliding mark and well held on his return from four months off at Thirsk (7f, good; first since since wind surgery) in September; needs to improve for the different surface on AW debut. |

Veteran who's become hard to win with and been on the downgrade this year, coming 22lb down the weights; late in the day to be making his Tapeta debut in a new form of headgear and will need some luck if dropped in as usual from stall 11. |

4th Nov 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Finished third of 15 in the 2018 running; has had a stop-start year but testing conditions suit and he looked in good form when a ready winner from Hodler at Leicester 18 days ago (7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); back up 5lb; one of the more likely ones. |
