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. |

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. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Usually races prominently; a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; 2026 started in downbeat fashion (similar to last year) in Listed race and his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; this is also a new trip (unraced beyond an extended 1m2f) but he's bred to get it and has a chance on best form; ground the chief worry. |
10/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won the Cambridgeshire here (1m1f, soft) last autumn; also scored in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good) this May and respectable 2l fourth of six to Damysus in 1m1f course Group 3 (good to firm) three weeks ago; unlikely to be far away despite his 3lb penalty. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful C&D winner at his best, but this veteran is without a victory since June 2024 and has offered little in a pair of handicaps (around 1m) at Doncaster and Beverley this spring; cheekpieces are retried. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (12) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful miler in his prime but his last win was almost two years ago and he's been well held at Newcastle and Doncaster in last two starts; continues to drop down the weights but others are preferred. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won an amateur riders' race off a mark 2lb higher than today's at York (1m2f, good) last June but he didn't match that level on his six subsequent starts; never-dangerous sixth of ten at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) when last seen 181 days ago and has since undergone his second wind operation; each-way claims on his return. |
10/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Hasn't been at his very best since his 1m2f win at York in June but he's back to only 1lb above that successful mark and is a dual soft-ground scorer. |

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]
