4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage now but he showed he's still got some ammunition left when a 40-1 winner of 17-runner Doncaster handicap (5f, good to soft) on his March reappearance; only eighth of 11 at Carlisle on his sole subsequent start, however, and he'll need to prove that win wasn't his last hurrah. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran; all 12 wins have been over 5f and is ideally suited by plenty of give in the ground; hasn't been out since Doncaster win in March (5f, good to soft); has plenty in his favour and should go well again. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |

8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

Formerly smart including winning a Group 3 at Sandown in July 2021, but 0-11 since and tailed off in the Stewards' Cup when last seen; not hard to look elsewhere. |

31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

Capable at the right level and she ran right up to her best when a close third at Kempton 18 days ago (6f), not aiding her cause by hanging left in the closing stages; good chance if she can keep straighter this time. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and bounced back from lesser effort when close second at Newmarket (5f, good) last week; remains on a workable mark and the forecast rain won't faze him; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed when dropped back to 5f in June and absent for ten weeks since but was commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and is now 1lb lower; player if back on song. |

Soon off the mark for this yard at Chelmsford (AW) in December and it was a fine return when quickly out of the stalls and finishing third of 18 at Ascot (again 6f, good to firm); respected off the same mark despite his unfavourable draw; goes on all ground. |

14th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handles most ground and she's gone close in two of her three C&D starts, but neither of her turf starts (on heavy; has handled the surface) this year have matched up, with and without cheekpieces (back on today); reservations for now. |

Five-time turf winner, the latest of them over 5f here last summer off 2lb higher; 6f on heavy ground might just stretch her stamina. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Drew nicely clear to end lengthy losing run in basement-grade classified race on turf return at Nottingham (6f, soft) on Thursday; faces tougher task here but remains well handicapped on older form (even under 4lb penalty) and will be fine on the faster ground. |
11/4 |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate for one of his ability; drops into first 0-50 classified event and has good 7lb claimer booked; should give a good account. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer. |

Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions should be ideal for this course regular and although his 2026 record is unconvincing, he has dropped 14lb as a result; usual cheekpieces back on after one run in a visor; each-way shout. |

8th 7 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Three wins here, two over this trip, the other over 6f; well beaten when returning from a break last time; not out of it in first-time visor, but ideally needs soft/heavy ground. |
14/1 |
Verdict
Rambuso Creek won in convincing fashion on good to soft ground at Leicester three weeks ago but takes on some proven mudlovers today. Top of the list is PUNCHBOWL FLYER (nap), who ran a cracker when second from out of the handicap on heavy ground at Windsor recently, and is able to race off 8lb lower here. The in-form mare Magnificence is second choice, while three-time course winner Fantasy Master can also run well.[Ben Hutton]
