6th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Has a record of 2-3 on the AW after dominating from the front in a 1m handicap at Chelmsford a month ago; likely to attempt something similar here and he's earned a crack at this level. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
4th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Had just one run on Polytrack, routing his rivals in a 1m handicap at Kempton last September off 2lb lower; well beaten in two runs in Dubai (one on dirt) early in the year and two turf runs this summer saw him unplaced too; returns to Polytrack on a reduced mark as a result and there are grounds for expecting much better. |

Prominent racer who made all in a 7f handicap at Sandown in September; well beaten in a Listed race at Redcar four weeks ago and yet to shine in three AW starts. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who got loose on the lead and just managed to hold on in a 7f handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago; likely to try something similar here and he did win this race two years ago (unplaced last year). |

9st 4lb |
Front-runner who is 3lb below the mark he last defied in July of last year; not looking the horse he was, but this year has hardly been a washout and he could win again sooner or later. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
The first of two Listed wins last year came over C&D; out of form this season until respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (1m) latest outing, when wearing first headgear (retained today); needs to build on that. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races prominently (didn't when trying 1m4f last time); a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; has started 2026 in downbeat fashion but today's ground could prompt something better, as his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; below-form favourite in this race two years ago but was denied a clear run; needs to be back in peak form to have any chance. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won two in a row at Redcar (1m1f/1m, good to firm) last month and completed hat-trick at Hamilton (1m1f, good) last Saturday; he's 6lb higher than last time and has never won over this far, but he's finished strongly for his recent wins and there's still plenty of mileage in his mark on old form. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins on good to firm ground at Redcar, the latest in an apprentice handicap over 1m under Conor Whiteley on Wednesday; can race off 1lb lower and shouldn't have an issue with stepping back up trip, while rain would also be no problem; major claims. |
5/6 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a two-year losing run when winning here over 1m1f on good to firm ten days ago, beating seven rivals; still well treated on his old form under a 4lb penalty and commands respect. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 14 months ago; now 8lb lower after some disappointing efforts but last time's fourth at Beverley in June could be viewed as a step back in the right direction. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Five wins from 39 starts, the most recent coming at York (1m2f, good) last June off a 6lb higher mark than today's; well beaten in two starts since returning from his second wind operation and now has cheekpieces applied. |
14/1 |

9st 2lb |
Won a 17-runner C&D handicap for amateur riders last June (good) but didn't run as well again; having second run since a wind op but has a wide draw to overcome. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Back to winning ways over C&D (soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (1m, soft); his last four wins have come on soft ground but he showed solid form on good going last year and this 8yo could go well once more. |
5/1 |

Liamarty Dreams
Verdict
The one with most potential is the 3yo, LIBERTY LANE (nap), who kept on well for a creditable fourth at Newmarket recently and, if his impressive 2yo debut on soft ground is a guide, will be suited by the forecast rain here. Titian, who also comes here after a good effort at Newmarket, is second choice ahead of the selection’s stablemate Liamarty Dreams.[Chris Wilson]
