Five-time winner on AW at Wolverhampton but 0-16 on turf; handicapper's giving him a chance and, while recent efforts don't suggest he'll take it, he did run well both previous visits here. |

Short of her best on her last two starts but she lurks on a dangerous mark and she was second over C&D in January; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue. |

Form dipped at Redcar in June when last seen; has some respectable Newcastle form for current yard, notably a success off 2lb higher last December; interesting back at this venue. |

Not the best of strike-rates (3-34) and yet to win over 1m; fair run when fourth after a slow start over C&D last time (soft; just behind Young Fire); worth considering. |

Free-going sort who hasn't been at his best for his new stable on AW this year; now 10lb lower than for his Ayr win last summer (7f, good), however, and no surprise were the return to turf to have a positive effect. |

7lb lower than when beaten a head at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) in February; fourth of ten on stable debut at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) last month, but didn't back it up next time and now 0-14; others preferred. |

0-12 when trained by Hughie Morrison; didn't run badly when fifth at Brighton (1m2f, good) last month but, having recently changed hands for 1,400gns, needs to find something extra on this stable debut; blinkers removed from headgear combination. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f, over which he delivered a telling late challenge on the other Newmarket track in May; while that looked encouraging for longer trips, his one attempt at 1m6f (on soft last July) and two at 2m (last two Northumberland Plates) saw him well beaten; that's not conclusive proof that he won't stay 1m6f but it leaves his stamina unproven. |
33/1 |

12th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins at this track but he came 13th in this race last year; that was his only appearance over this long a trip and he was also below form when he had a crack at 1m6f, so he's unproven beyond 1m4f, over which he's contested his last nine starts; stamina is the big doubt. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Track regular who finished third in this race (good to soft) in 2024 and stayed on from the rear to be fourth in last year's edition; also won last season's Great Metropolitan over C&D (good) and got back in the winning groove when taking Newmarket handicap three weeks ago; latter success puts him on a career-high mark but he's unlikely to be far away. |

Record of 1-24 suggests that others are more likely winners, but he has been placed in both starts over C&D this year, so not great surprise if he makes the frame again. |
