27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed six-time winner who can front run; 2lb beneath the mark he defied at Newbury last summer (1m5f, good to firm; effective on good to soft) and he hasn't been running badly of late. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed. |

4th 5 (4) |

His six wins include two over C&D; no match for No More Bolero when second here (2m1f, good to firm) in April, although he is 5lb better off with that rival; fourth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) four weeks ago and holds place claims. |

Six-time turf winner who is 1-13 here; has dropped to a good mark but she's been very quiet in two runs after an absence. |

6th 3 (5) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All six of her wins came on turf, the last three over 1m6f; she hasn't won since September 2023, however, and was beaten 22l over C&D (good) on her reappearance in May; will need to have derived plenty of benefit from that. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Early summer has always tended to be her time of year but she's regressed in recent times, is into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; others hold more pressing claims. |

Won off 5lb higher on Tapeta earlier this year and returned to form with a 3l third behind The Colorist at Lingfield four weeks ago; will need more again, though. |

Won on Polytrack as 2yo but three later wins on Tapeta, at 1m4f to 1m6f; hard to recommend at present as he's been a slow starter since his most recent win in March and was way back at Wolverhampton in August. |

Won at Windsor (11.4f, good; under Georgia Dobie) in July; mixed record but her only start since was creditable when a close third of five over 1m5f; unraced over this far and it needs to spark some improvement. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Sole handicap win in 2021; absent 415 days before this term; third of 11 at Salisbury (1m6f) 13 days ago in first-time cheekpieces, having often been hooded, and she met trouble in running before staying on; back up 2lb from that career-low mark; well beaten on softer than good; place chance otherwise. |

3rd 5 |
10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

Sole handicap win over 1m4f in 2021 (good to firm); minor form in a light 2022 but well backed on recent return at Epsom, only to meet trouble in running; can be given another chance but 1m6f has seemed as far as she wants to go in the past; often hooded, first-time cheekpieces today. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained all ten wins at this track, the latest in 1m classified at start of this month; close second in handicap over that trip here (again on firm) a fortnight later and will be fine back over 1m2f but recent 4lb rise might leave this 8yo a shade vulnerable. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |

Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip. |
13/8 |

4th 6 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |

Perhaps better over further and when going close over C&D a month ago he was edged out by a 66-1 chance who wasn't in much form before that race and has disappointed since; may need a tad more here, though Taryn Langley takes off a handy 5lb. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple staying wins on turf and the AW and she's back on her most recent winning mark, at Nottingham (1m6f, good) in May; put a couple of modest runs in June behind her when a close third of four at Lingfield 25 days ago but likely to need more for this. |

4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple winner but a 9yo now and hasn't been at her best in last two races, beaten 18l at Goodwood and then last of the three at Newbury (both at 2m); on last winning mark if she could stage a revival. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

C&D record now 7113 following July's win off 8lb lower (Fane Court 7l behind) and just as good a form effort in defeat last time; no margin for error off current mark, but in good enough heart to remain competitive. |

Well held when fourth over C&D on latest hurdling start but previously caught the eye when finishing strongly for close third in competitive race at Haydock (3m, good; first-time visor) and has since won on the Flat; raced mainly on good ground but was once placed on heavy on the Flat; shortlisted. |

Last win came at 125-1 in a maiden hurdle in November 2021; went close over 1m6f here on his return in January but his two runs since have resulted in a tailed off at Newcastle (2m) and a sixth of 11 back at this track (1m4f); wasn't beaten far last time and now goes back up in trip but others are more convincing; hood reapplied. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Second once over 1m2f on good last August but generally speaking he has been much more interesting on AW, including when runner-up once at 2m; no impact in either sphere on last five starts (given wind surgery after third) so there are major doubts to go alongside his career-low mark. |

27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best on his last four starts but took step back in right direction at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last time on first run since wind surgery, when the steady gallop was a negative; today's extra furlong is a plus and he might not be far away, having continued to drop down the weights. |

Won two of his first three starts on Polytrack (1m/1m2f) in the winter of 2021/22; 0-13 since, but placed off higher marks three times here (1m3f/2m) in that period; returns from a second wind operation and place claims at least if rediscovering his best form. |

Struggled to get competitive off basement Flat mark last month, after a layoff, but made winning chase debut in small-field contest here (2m2f, good) nine days ago; did that a shade cosily and is only 3lb higher now; must be considered. |

Not seen under jumps rules since pulled up in soft-ground handicap hurdle in April 2023 and has been in poor form on the Flat since last summer; has too much to prove on chasing debut; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |
