31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time course winner who'll be happier back on Tapeta; now 6lb lower than when going in over C&D early in the year but needs a revival. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Has had more AW than turf success; has gained both wins in this sphere at Nottingham (8.5f on good/good to soft); only midfield when returned to grass last time; others have stronger claims. |

Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |

9st 8lb |
Five most recent wins on AW and he doesn't run much on turf these days, the losing run going back nearly six years; has plenty to find after a weak effort back on grass at Nottingham this month. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but he was a close third under a prominent ride in a classified event at Bath (1m, firm) when last seen in early July; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's ideally suited by slow ground |

3rd 3 (11) |

This veteran hasn't tasted success for nearly three years; he ran okay over C&D two starts ago and when sixth at Ffos Las last week but more is needed. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Six-time winner split between AW and turf; has mixed record since his last success in February but he was only just caught at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time; has possibilities if he can back that up and he has won over this trip. |
100/30 |

2nd 1 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie he wore for most wins; two runs this season were his first on turf since June 2024 and he needs to return to February's AW levels. |
14/1 |

4th 5 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie worn for most wins as he has a rare run away from the AW; bit better at Lingfield recently on his second run for this yard but needs more back on turf. |

20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner for Roger Varian in 2022; three changes of stable since and best effort for a while came on latest start when second of seven off this mark over C&D (good to firm); withdrawn in early July on account of being unruly at the start but has a chance if behaving. |

Dual winner for Roger Varian in 2022; three trainer changes since and best effort for a while came on latest start when second of seven at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) under Joe Leavy, running on well when tongue tied for the second time; chance off the same mark. |

2nd 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Dual winner for Roger Varian who's been around a bit and not been anything like as good since returning from a year off; stumbled at Bath last time and the handicapper's easing off quickly but he needs a deal more. |
