5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
All four of his wins were on soft or heavy ground, three at Goodwood; runner-up on his only two visits here, including at this meeting (good to soft) last year and he's 1lb lower today; that was over 8.5f and his creditable fifth on reappearance ten weeks ago was in the 1m Lincoln at Doncaster, but he stays 1m2f; strong each-way claims. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a first win since 2024 at Pontefract (1m) in August; backed it up with a good fifth of 17 in 1m2f Doncaster handicap eight days ago so he's a player in this grade. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Acts on most ground; capitalised on a career-low mark with a comfortable success at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month; back up 5lb and he's yet to prove himself over this longer trip. |

Multiple winner at up to 8.5f on good or slower; on the slide in three starts this season but this combination of a drop in grade and new headgear may prompt a resurgence; return to shorter is also a plus; shortlisted. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
It was leg three of a four-timer when he beat Box To Box in this 12 months ago so he was in flying form back then; hit and miss this campaign, but has posted figures of 112 in three of his races and this mark isn't beyond him. |
10/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins over 1m2f at Ripon this year (good/good to soft) and a good second to Salamanca City (with whom he is 4lb better off) when stepped up to 1m4f there last time (good); won over 1m2f last September on only previous start here; interesting. |
10/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
He has done well since dropped to sprint trips, winning two 6f handicaps on AW (one C&D) in January; career best when second over C&D in May and he ran another good race when second in the Gosforth Park Cup eight weeks ago; 1lb lower today and no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again. |

2nd 4 (6) |
28th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice over 6f on the AW in January, the latest of those off 9lb lower here; has run well the last twice, including when second of 14 back here (6f) last month, but this is a tough race in which to have his first go at 5f. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Exposed but consistent and fully entitled to be sharper for his recent run at Beverley (extended 1m); on the downside, he's drawn wide and best form is over further. |
7/1 |

4th 9 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |

2nd 1 (14) |

In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Big prices and out of the frame in three starts since returning in April, albeit he met trouble when finishing in midfield in the Carlisle Bell (7.7f, soft) last month; 4lb lower than for the latest of two wins in April last year; interesting. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Two wins last April (1m, AW/soft) and he's 1lb lower than when last successful; the return to slow turf could also be a plus; however, he's failed to shine on either outing this season and has something to prove. |
25/1 |

11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

7yo who has an impressive 8-28 strike-rate and is effective on Tapeta; he may have needed his comeback run at Newmarket last month but was beaten a long way at 66-1, and he was also below par last May/July on his final two outings last season; plenty to prove. |

Three C&D runs, winning two (soft and good to firm) and a solid third of eight last month; made the running and faded at Chester since but he's better judged on the earlier runs; on the premises. |

3rd 4 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Notched a fourth success of 2026 at Salisbury (6f) in August and posted another good effort with third of eight there (6f) eight days ago; handles this track well and has won on soft ground so must enter calculations. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Four wins this year include two over C&D (soft/good to firm), which makes him 2-2 here; normally reliable sort who can be excused his sixth at Windsor last time, when he was one of two that pursued a fruitless exploration of the far rail; could well bounce back. |

Verdict
Blinkers could spark a revival from Spring Mile winner Harswell Duke and he’s on a dangerous mark but he will have other pace to contend with in this field. Hiromichi, Tele Red and the progressive Alpha Crucis all come into the reckoning but it’s quite possible SPIORADALTA hasn’t reached his ceiling just yet and he can gain his third win of the year.[Paul Smith]
