19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Wide-margin winner here on heavy ground over 2m in October 2024 and followed up with a smooth success at Newbury (2m, heavy) next time; a beaten favourite at Nottingham (soft) 590 days ago and it's likely he'll need his first start since over a trip short of his best. |

3rd 10 (2) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |

8st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; only had four races on the Flat and a 1m has looked inadequate; however, even 1m2f might not be far enough for him. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his only career win in this 12 months ago when 3lb lower and perhaps unlucky not to have won last week at Lingfield (2m AW) given the trouble he found in running; good or quicker ground might be ideal but effective on good to soft. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (8) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win was at Salisbury (1m6f) last August but he's a reliable type who has hasn't been beaten far in his two runs this season including a clear second at Salisbury; looks worth another try at this trip and he's still unexposed on AW; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Well suited by a stiff 1m6f and his clear comeback second at Salisbury a month ago has been boosted by the winner going in again since; only 1lb higher and his claims are obvious. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm; in good form over 1m6f/2m last June, including for a Chester win off 3lb lower than today; well held on sole start here (last July) and not seen since last September; he ran well first time out last season but others look more persuasive today. |
25/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over 2m (good) here in June and the saddle slipped on his return visit the following month; can probably forgive him his Ascot run as well as that was a Class 3; could find this trip on the tight side, though. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple staying wins on turf and the AW and she's back on her most recent winning mark, at Nottingham (1m6f, good) in May; put a couple of modest runs in June behind her when a close third of four at Lingfield 25 days ago but likely to need more for this. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple winner but a 9yo now and hasn't been at her best in last two races, beaten 18l at Goodwood and then last of the three at Newbury (both at 2m); on last winning mark if she could stage a revival. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually consistent, but her modest effort at Goodwood (2m, soft) last time was disappointing given she does handle any ground; needs to bounce back from that. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won handicap debut last July and minor honours in four of five races since; twice runner-up in the mud, including when never nearer in 13-runner race at Bath (upped to 1m5f) on latest start; wore tongue-tie for both starts this term; bit to prove with the extra 3f today, against proven stayers. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up on heavy at Nottingham (1m2f) last October; entitled to have needed her comeback run when third of five at Ffos Las (1m4f, heavy; first-time tongue tie) nearly five weeks ago; stamina isn't totally guaranteed over 1m5f. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Heavy 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won on the back of a similar absence to today's on last season's reappearance and handicap debut (1m2f, good); seemed to cope okay with the heavy ground when second at Nottingham the final time (winner won easily); stays okay and tries a tongue-tie. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner in October 2024 and her three wins since have been at Windsor at around 1m4f; below her best in recent starts, albeit she wasn't suited by the way the race developed here over 1m4f last time; on a handy mark and she steps back up in trip with each-way claims. |

7th 3 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner over 2m in October 2024 but her last three wins have been at Windsor over 11.5f; well held in three starts this year, albeit she wasn't helped by being caught wide at Lingfield last month. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time winner, with four at Windsor (11.4f) and two on Polytrack (1m2f/2m); her last success was off 2lb higher last autumn but she's been disappointing in last two runs and needs to get back on track. |
