22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid. |
7/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won a valuable 2m handicap here in August 2024 (good); hasn't won since, but comes into this in good form (second over 2m on last two starts, with cheekpieces back on last time); no cheekpieces here but on a good mark and one with a chance. |

On a losing run and her latest Catterick second came in a four-runner race; she will need more to come out on top this time. |

5th Aug 2024 Good 2m 2f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time Flat winner at 2m for Keith Dalgleish (best RPR 88); took too long to settle on hurdling bow at Worcester last month; tailed off back on the Flat at Galway last week; best watched for now. |
28/1 |

disputed lead, led clearly after 3f, faced challenge halfway, soon headed |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten a long way on last two Flat starts, in July 2023 and this February (stable debut); therefore has something to prove but he showed useful form as recent as last May and will be a strong contender if tapping into that ability on today's hurdle debut; the betting may be informative. |
