9st 12lb |
Landed a gamble when strolling home by 11l at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago; subsequently raised a pound for every one of those lengths but he'll stay this trip and ran well on faster ground the time before; must be considered. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win a handicap on turf but won over hurdles (good to soft) and on AW earlier this year and did very well to finish third of 15 in the big 2m4f handicap at the Glorious meeting when 5lb out of the weights; just 1lb lower this time and balance of form suggests he'll need more back at 1m6f. |

14th at 100-1 in this race in 2024; won at Kempton this year over hurdles and on AW Flat, and similar Flat form over that 2m on last two runs, but much better is needed from 5lb out of the handicap today; 7lb claimer is called up. |

Placed twice over this trip (at Navan and Cork) before front-running 1m maiden win at Cork, beating Cuban Dawn who ran respectably off 91 in the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot; makes handicap debut off 90 here and sets a good standard. |

23rd May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Two good runs this season both over 1m2f; strong chance if equally effective at this trip; slight concern that his second on heavy ground at Navan was better than his third on good-to-yielding at Cork, though he was beaten under 2l; a stable outsider was too good for Cuban Dawn last week. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't jump well when a disappointing favourite at Fakenham (2m, good) last October on sole previous hurdle start; however, he's shown useful form when winning three times on the Flat this year and will be a serious force if able to transfer that ability to this code; trainer won this last year. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf. |

AW Flat winner when visored for the first time, in February (8.5f); sound run back over hurdles when keeping-on third at Kelso this month (2m2f, good to firm); 2m4f should suit; each-way chance. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Poor strike-rate (1-37), finishing down the field at Ripon (1m2f; 25-1) a fortnight ago; nothing special over hurdles either (0-5; beaten 34l at Market Rasen in April), so difficult to consider. |

Came on from his debut when narrowly denied in a Tipperary maiden in April; two solid runs in maidens since, including when dropped back to extended 1m2f here latest; return to further likely to help and his opening mark seems fair. |

Enjoyed a purple patch in 2023, winning five times on the Flat (and once over hurdles) for Mick Mulvany; fine effort when second in a handicap hurdle at Galway on her second run for this stable; heavily supported for a Flat handicap three days later; that run may have come too soon. |

Enjoyed a purple patch in 2023, winning five times on the Flat (and once over hurdles) for Mick Mulvany; solid run over hurdles here on Wednesday; won over 8.5f at this meeting in 2023, this trip is within her range and she's 4lb below her last success; player. |

Had flashes of good form under both codes for previous yard, whom she left after finishing tailed off in this 12 months ago (went off too fast); lurks on a reasonable mark on just her second run for Joseph O'Brien; finished last in the first (1m maiden) but that was after a long break so could strip fitter now. |
