Seemed to benefit from going over 1m2f (and this new headgear combination) when runner-up here two starts back and fared less well back in trip at Chelmsford on Thursday, though the draw didn't help; others preferred kept to 1m. |

Four-time AW winner who scored off 10lb higher at Southwell (1m) last November but he's not finished closer than sixth in his seven runs since; turf record now stands at 0-13 and he has questions to answer at this new trip; tongue-tie added. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has a record of 2-7 over C&D (both wins on good to firm) and although not in quite the same form this year as she was last summer, such as when going close off 13lb higher on this track, she wasn't far away back here two starts ago; no surprise to see her go well. |

Five wins on turf have been at Windsor and Salisbury, the latest off a 2lb higher mark than today's; runner-up over this C&D (good to firm) in April before another solid effort at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago; drops in grade with claims. |

25th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since his 2yo debut and has regressed sharply this year, coming a stone down the weights; has a few fair efforts to his name over 6f on Polytrack, though, and is worth tracking in the market. |

13th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won 2yo debut; winless since but consistent at 7f/6f on AW in the second half of 2022, including over C&D; not in much form since back in December from a short break but two of those three runs were at 5f and he's not badly treated at present; often wears headgear but not today. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |
5/1 |

5th 3 (11) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives in very good form without winning, a clear second of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 25 days ago; drawn wide but this course winner merits serious consideration with Oisin Murphy back up. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won two fast-ground C&D handicaps last season, both off higher marks than today's; threatening a win in recent starts and Jack Callan takes off a handy 3lb; unraced on slower than good ground. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner but turf successes are thin on the ground now, just one in over three years; however, he's been running up to his best since back on grass, going down narrowly in a higher grade at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in May and another solid effort there last time; thereabouts. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Tough sort whose form over C&D features a success last August and sound efforts in two of his last three outings; ties in with two of today's rivals on the latest one; solid chance. |

5th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Exposed sprinter who wins in his turn these days but his C&D record reads 312; that latest visit was just one month ago and he competes from the same mark as when far from disgraced in midfield at York a fortnight ago; each-way contender. |

10st 1lb |
Three 1m wins this season and he went desperately close at Chester 16 days ago (7.5f, soft); only 1lb higher here and Ben Curtis is a positive booking; one to take seriously. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All of his eight wins have been at 1m and latest was in blinkers at Newbury (good) in May; only 1lb higher than for that success but he's gone off the boil in last two starts and was a remote third over 7f here last time; down the list. |
16/1 |

3rd 10 (1) |
30th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Stands his racing really well and as good as ever when winning an apprentice handicap at Newbury (1m, good) last month; respectable second on firm going at Bath a week later; below-form fifth over 1m2f back at Newbury 15 days ago but this is more his trip. |

Kept on for respectable fifth when dropped back to 6f at Chelmsford last month and continues to slip down the weights but this 10yo has developed a tendency to start slowly and younger rivals in this line-up have much more appealing profiles. |

25th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Nottingham last summer (6f, good) but little to shout about since; often gets it wrong at the start and others look safer despite this drop in grade. |

2nd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Hard knowing what to expect from this veteran, who has lacked consistency since the start of his 2022 campaign; however, has possibilities off a reduced mark back in Class 6; 1-1 at this level. |
