2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Excellent third in competitive 1m handicaps on both runs this season, firstly the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and then at Sandown (soft); has won here twice and was a fair seventh in this last year; one to consider. |

3rd 4 (9) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Suited by good/firmer; record of 2-6 for current yard; creditable third in the Royal Hunt Cup last month on seasonal debut; successful in this contest last year and has to be feared despite being 8lb higher this time. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (17) |
19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Suited by good/firmer; won the Britannia at this meeting in 2021; disappointing favourite (only tenth) in this race last year and now has to overcome a lack of recent match practice, having been absent since last-gasp success in the Shergar Cup Mile here ten months ago. |

8yo who has won five times on the July Course here, including two this year; 0-9 on this track but latest fifth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire was highly creditable; another who can't be discounted. |

8yo who has run well in this race previously and won two in a row on the other Newmarket course in July; however, he's finished no better than fifth across his last five outings and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Seven-time turf winner but he's 0-13 on AW; made some late headway when a respectable third here (9.4f) in December but this veteran has not really fired in his last two runs and others are more persuasive. |

2nd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won a 1m handicap here (good ground) in May on his final start for Roger Varian and has shaped well back here (1m again) on two of his three subsequent starts for current yard; may need to get the breaks from the inside stall but he's one to be interested in from his mark and the drop to 7f shouldn't pose a problem for one who tends to race freely. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
20th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Below par at Newmarket last time but the hood adopted that day is now left off, and he'd previously run two good races in a row over this C&D, with a win and a good fifth of 15 (the latter on stable debut); not ruled out. |
11/1 |

6th 5 (10) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 4yo who won twice for Roger Varian, the latest on his Sandown reappearance (1m, good; first start since being gelded) in May; not beaten far into fifth of 15 on stable debut over the same C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago, but needs to find a bit more from the same mark; hood given a go; yard also runs Maysong. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last run at Kempton saw him finish a close second off a 15lb higher mark and that was as recent as March; likely to exploit his drop in the weights at some point but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |
12/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has looked on the downgrade in recent times, coming 16lb down the weights this year; hasn't looked to see out 1m2f the past twice, though, and a better showing wouldn't surprise back in the usual cheekpieces. |

Won for the first time since August 2023 off a much reduced mark in a weak contest at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month; not sure to back that up in this better contest off 4lb higher. |

Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

Triple AW winner who showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton in March and he went close back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; 2lb higher here but he was a well-backed favourite last time and he remains very well treated on old form; big player. |

6yo who turned things around with two creditable efforts at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; his last two wins have been at that track but he remains well treated on his old turf form; could be dangerous back in this sphere but he probably wouldn't want any rain. |

Latest two wins here, at about 1m1f and 7f, both off this sort of mark; it's been a long haul this winter but he looked on the way back over C&D recently, behind a subsequent winner in a higher grade; in the reckoning. |
