18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break. |
7/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time to complete a hat-trick; climbing back up the weights but warrants respect in current form. |

1st 4 (8) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more. |

Polytrack/turf winner who has finished runner-up in her last three starts; up another 1lb, but the form of her latest head defeat at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) has worked out extremely well; yet to attempt this far, but shapes as though she will stay; major chance. |

17th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 32y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran of 65 races (nine wins); 4lb below her last winning mark but yet to fire this year, so perhaps age is slowly catching up with her; well beaten at Catterick last time behind Cold Henry. |

Had a very successful 2022 with a hurdle win and five Flat successes at 1m6f-2m1f (all on good or quicker ground) but out of sorts since the latest of them in September; needs major revival. |

24th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over 2m on the Flat last September and he's lightly raced over jumps, but he's struggled in both codes this year and was pulled up at 66-1 on last week's handicap hurdle debut at Fakenham. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Multiple 7f/1m winner down the years; stays this trip but she has plenty to prove starting out for a new stable after a 755-day absence. |

Betting Forcast
6/1 Smokey Malone, 6/1 Neverbeen To Paris, 4/1 Placated, Central City, 10/1 Janus, 2/1 Infiniti, 12/1 Diamond Cutter, 100/1 Ocean Beyond, 25/1 Percys Prince, 7/1 Agent Of Fortune
Verdict
A muddling pace over 1m4f wouldn’t have been ideal for NEVERBEEN TO PARIS last time and that signalled a return to form. He’s down to a career-low mark now, being 8lb lower than when running well here in the spring. Placated’s win three months ago came on just her second turf start and she’ll find this tougher off 8lb higher, leaving Infiniti, who’s having a great season, looking the chief danger.[Graham Wheldon]
