10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran respectably at Chester returned to turf last time; he's 0-8 this year but remains favourably treated, being 6lb below last winning mark; three-time C&D scorer. |

On a losing run but he arrives in decent nick, sixth of nine in 7f Chelmsford handicap 50 days ago; one to consider after a break. |

Two wins last year (6f/7f), the latest off this mark; some fair placed efforts without winning this season; each-way chance. |

Runner-up at Epsom and here before an excusable defeat at Ascot after getting a worked up in the stalls; the principal concern would an apparent preference for drier ground. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent nine-race maiden but he's been placed in last two starts and hit a personal best with his close call in a C&D handicap (good) 12 days ago; just about sets the standard on that form and he's a key player back in a maiden. |
7/4 |

2nd 9 (13) |
9th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A maiden after eight runs but has worked his way back into form this summer and shaped very much as though ready for another crack at 1m when staying on well for third at Epsom (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Trainer-jockey combination won this last year and this gelding is on a career-low mark (won for Brodie Hampson last June off 9lb higher); needs to bounce back from a few poor efforts, though, and may just be on the downgrade now; headgear comes off. |
10/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
7lb lower than for his Newbury win last summer; second of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but that has been followed by two heavy defeats; comes with risks attached. |

9st 4lb |
The drop to sprinting didn't help at Lingfield 13 days ago, weakening in the straight; blinkers return today but there is other pace on show and he's got too much to prove for comfort. |

4th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 2yo novice at Newbury on his third run for Richard Hannon (6f, good); winless at three but he ran some good races off much higher marks than this; hasn't lasted home over further in two Class 4 events for new yard this season; may fare better sprinting but he's not a solid option. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Multiple winner down the years but this veteran has something to find on 2025 form; comfortably held last time, failing to back up his reappearance effort. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple winner who goes particularly well at Brighton where he was only 2l away last month (7f, good to soft) on his return from a lengthy break; might be vulnerable to younger limbs but should give his running. |
10/1 |

27th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off since September but he's proven when fresh having won at Epsom (7f, good) off 1lb higher on his reappearance last July; has won here four times from nine starts, including this race in 2022 off 3lb higher and he holds sound claims on his return. |

15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-7), with all three wins coming on the AW (5f-7f; Chelmsford and Wolverhampton); has worn blinkers for his last three starts, including when simply doing too much too soon at Ayr (7f, good; sixth of eight) last time; this sharp track may suit and he is well drawn to attack. |

27th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time winner who can be slowly away; made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) off 5lb lower in January and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last time; up in grade now back on turf and this smaller field probably isn't ideal for him due to his hold-up style, but he holds place claims. |
