Not the force of old but he ran creditably when second to Alshimali over C&D ten weeks ago; wouldn't be sure to build on it. |

Dual AW winner who is 1-19 on turf; now 10lb lower than for his Kempton win (6f, Polytrack) last March but he's been well held in last six runs and others are preferred; cheekpieces back on. |

Four-time turf winner from 5.5f-7f; 0-19 on AW but he's been placed on Polytrack and Tapeta; has had a short break since going very close at Windsor (6f, good) in September and he's a player if he can reproduce that form. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his first turf win since July 2021 when making all at Carlisle nine days ago (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise for that win looks stiff given he's thoroughly exposed but he's drawn 8 and should be able to grab the rail which has been a huge advantage at recent meetings; key player. |

No problem with conditions and he ran his best race back from a short break when fourth of ten at Lingfield last month (7f, AW); more appealing than many off a dangerous mark. |

Three of his four wins have been at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and latest was in January; finished down the field in last two starts but he had an excuse over 6f last time and he could rediscover his spark back up in trip; not ruled out off workable mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fared well from low draws at this track last year, including for two wins, and she's been close up at other tracks on two of her four starts this year; drawn high this time but has to be seriously considered. |

3rd 3 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Seven-time winner who was a close second at Southwell on her return to action in March; unable to match that in two runs since but she has too much ability to discount at this level. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before. |

Eight-time winner at up to 7f; made virtually all when scoring at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April, but he's not hit the same level since and was only sixth of eight at Windsor last time; now back below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game. |

All four of his wins have been on testing ground, the most recent at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last August; has the headgear/tongue-tie left off on his first start since October and is best watched on ground that will probably be quicker than ideal. |
