Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |

9st 13lb |
All six wins, three on AW, have been over 6f; best run this season was when second over 5f at Ffos Las last month (good); chance on that run but this faster going not sure to suit. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Missed 2025 but ran well when second of seven over this C&D in March on his first start for 702 days; struggled on his next two starts but returned to form when going close at Ffos Las (5f) nine days ago; this dual C&D will be suited by the return to this trip and has strong claims. |

8st 9lb |
Won a Newcastle novice (6f, AW) late last year and has made the frame in his last three starts in turf handicaps, including when a close fourth of 12 at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; extra furlong should be within range and frame material again. |

Progressed to win a 6f AW novice at two and ran his best race of this season when third in new blinkers at Newbury (6f, good to firm); chance on that run, though has no headgear this time and softish ground remains something of a grey area. |

9st 12lb |
Majority of her turf wins have come at Bath and Chepstow, most recently when making all on the former track in June, but she's a C&D winner too (good to firm) and she lost her chance early when back on this course 16 days ago; on a career-high mark but not ruled out. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Two of her six turf wins have been here, one over this distance; hasn't really finished off her races this year but is now 3lb below her last winning mark so cannot be discounted. |

2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 1-22 and well held at Windsor last time but that was after a solid spell, including a second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his penultimate run; 1lb lower here and could be dangerous if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
8/1 |

All three wins at sprint trips; more modest efforts than good ones since a 6f claiming success at Wolverhampton in August and didn't shine over 7f and 1m for new yard in November. |

9st 4lb |
Picking up his share of prize money this season, making the frame five times either side of his Pontefract (6f, good) win last month; despite that he is still 5lb lower than when a close fourth in this race 12 months ago; each-way shout. |

Course regular who led close home to score over C&D (good) last month; reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when well beaten here 16 days ago; current mark is workable if she's back on song. |

Suffered lots of defeats since last win nearly two years ago, though went down by a short head at Salisbury (6f) two runs ago; she was entitled to run better here last week over the 7f, though. |
