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. |

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. |

Has won here (1m) but his two successes in the meantime came over 1m2f on turf in the spring of last year; now 5lb lower than for the latest of those and stepping back up in trip may suit; each-way claims. |

9st 5lb |
Scored off 2lb lower at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June and has claims if judged on that performance but ought to have been suited by return to Polytrack when unplaced favourite at Kempton (1m4f) 18 days ago, and the forecast rain may not aid his cause here. |

Five-time course winner (1m-1m3f) who gained his third success on turf when winning under Billy Loughnane at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June; can't be dismissed back on the AW off this 2lb higher mark. |

Easy C&D win for regular partner Elle-May Croot in March came off 1lb higher; typically inconsistent since but has claims on his latest turf effort as he chases a seventh course win. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often a front-runner and the last six of his seven wins were on Southwell AW, with the latest in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well and he's back 1lb below his last winning mark but the return to Southwell (from turf) for latest outing did not spark an upturn; best watched at present. |

Often a front-runner and gained the last six of his seven wins on this Southwell AW, with the latest win in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well, he's back to his last winning mark and return to Southwell (latest run here was five starts ago) might spark something. |

8th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Dual-purpose performer with a record of 2-35 and his last win was in a novice at this track (1m4f) four years ago; stays this trip and was a fair fifth back on the Flat here in December but others are more persuasive. |

Dual-purpose performer who struggled off a basement over hurdles three weeks ago but his Flat win came over C&D and he's well handicapped on some AW form in the spring; not ruled back in this sphere for yard that won this in 2022. |

9st 8lb |
All six wins on turf have been on good to firm, the most recent coming at Chepstow last July; narrowly denied at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in July but below best following a habitual slow start at Windsor two weeks ago; still considered. |
8/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Held up; hat-trick last summer and twice runner-up from five starts this term, short-headed off this mark under Owen Lewis at Ffos Las (1m4f; 33-1) on latest; although not that consistent himself, he looks a lot more solid than most of today's rivals, not least because he's won three times here. |

Won a Ludlow novice (2m, good) in May 2022 but he's found things tough in handicaps since, including on the Flat; his last run was over two years ago and he has lots to prove after a massive absence; hood is removed and tongue-tie returns. |

Novice winner but unplaced in all four handicap efforts; bang there at Ludlow in the latest of them last month but faded out of contention; tends to race too freely and another whose chance may depend on the effect of a hood (worn for the first time over hurdles). |
