3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled at York in July after winning his previous start by a wide margin at Carlisle (2m1f, good), but got back on track with a solid effort at Newmarket last time; he's 2-2 over this C&D, both coming earlier this year, and has to be considered. |

3rd 2 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) last month; struggled at York last time but he had a wide draw and was badly hampered at a crucial stage; can put a line through that and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; this 7yo is up 5lb to a career-high mark and everything dropped right last time, but he's nevertheless entitled to respect having won in fine style. |

Fair on the Flat but has not shown much over hurdles; pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft); moves up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Went close in 1m4f classified at Brighton in June 2022 but she hasn't progressed and her recent 2m run back on Polytrack doesn't inspire much confidence; plenty to prove back on Tapeta; headgear discarded. |

Effective at 2m on soft ground but she's still a maiden after 11 starts and was a well-held third in a Class 6 event at Catterick last time; others preferred. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces enlisted for last three starts, winning on first occasion and good sixth in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good); 16-1 for Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) six weeks ago but weakened right out of it in the last half-mile; that was his first race on firmer than good since start of career three years ago, so there's a big question mark about the ground. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good strike-rate of 7-17 and he should have brighter prospects than some of staying this extreme trip given he wasn't stopping at the end of the Chester Cup over an extended 2m2f last time; has raised his game in cheekpieces (fitted in only his last two races) and he could outrun his odds if coping okay with fast ground. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (15) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Missed most of last season but won on good/AW in four of his six starts since, the latest in clearcut fashion with first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle on AW Championships day; raised another 7lb, drawn wide and lacks any race experience at this track, but he's going from strength to strength. |

11st 3lb |
Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l here (2mf, good) in June, his second hurdle win; went up 8lb for that and returned with a low-key Flat run this month but will be fine over today's longer trip; respected. |

Has six wins on the Flat; sole success in this sphere came at this track (2m5f, good) in August 2024; still 6lb above his winning mark but was still in contention when brought down at the last flight over C&D (good) in April; holds place claims. |

Dual 2m AW winner who took a good-ground selling hurdle in April; slow-starting second under 7lb claimer at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) 12 days ago confirms that she is firmly in the mix. |

Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible. |

A soft-ground hurdle winner off this mark at Taunton last February for previous stable but well held on all starts this season for current connections, latest when pulled up back at Taunton last month; sliding down the weights but doesn't look like capitalising on that anytime soon. |

Beaten 37l+ in two 1m2f events at Windsor; however, at 80-1, he was beaten only just over 3l when a front-running fifth of seven in maiden at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might now bring some potential to handicaps; blinkers enlisted; worth market check. |

Yet to win this year but there has been a recent upturn in her form, and she would probably have preferred a stronger pace to aim at when a staying-on second behind Fair Dinkum over C&D last month; up in grade today but has the services of Oisin Murphy; shortlisted. |
