15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Turf wins at 1m6f (good to soft) and 2m (good); quite well treated now and his AW reappearance was encouraging but he didn't fare so well back on turf in June and it's two years since he was risked on good to firm ground. |
8/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Ffos Las (1m6f/2m; good to soft/good); now 2lb lower than that latest success and returned from a break with a solid effort at Southwell (2m, AW) 34 days ago; claims. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Campaigned exclusively on the Flat since 2024, beaten over 20l at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) latest; now 2lb lower than when third of 17 at Doncaster (2m, good) in January 2024; market check the best course of action. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Three wins and two seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D but he's struggled this year; absent for ten weeks since hanging right on the home turn over C&D and others make more obvious appeal. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All seven wins have been on AW (four over C&D) but last win was in 2023; ran his best race for some time when fourth of 12 at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in June; impossible to rule out but needs more. |
10/1 |

4th 11 (4) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Often front-runs; three-time course winner (1m4f/2m) but he's without a win in two years; struggled in two starts on AW in December and he was beaten 59l at Windsor (good to firm) nine days ago; needs the switch of headgear to spark a revival. |

2nd 3 (8) |
27th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces when winning at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in June and over this C&D last month, making all both times; ridden more conservatively when fifth of nine back at Kempton (2m) this month; a player if reverting to positive tactics under Simon Walker. |
3/1 |

5th 4 (9) |
7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
2-2 in Polytrack handicaps this summer, twice making all, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; soft turf maybe wasn't ideal last time and he's considered back under Oisin Murphy (up for his Lingfield win). |

28th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Three AW wins in 2023, over 1m5f and 2m here and 1m6f on Tapeta; slow to find form since back from absence and although his latest run at Bath was better, others have less to prove over 1m2f. |

5th 8 (1) |
20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Infrequent winner who lacks consistency; has been running well of late, though, and is 1lb lower than when going in over C&D for Christian Howarth in June, so will rightly have his supporters. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (5) |

6th 5 (11) |
23rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D in June but he's been disappointing since and was laboured back here (9.4f) last time; now back on last winning mark but he has questions to answer and is drawn out wide; tongue-tie worn last time is removed. |
