Added third Flat win at Limerick off 73 last summer (1m5f, good); poor form following that until an encouraging 3.5l third of 14 at Navan five days ago when dropping into this grade for the first time (1m5f, good); not ruled out. |

10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |
11/4 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |

Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

9st 10lb |
Five-time AW winner who made it sixteenth time lucky on turf when seeing off five rivals over 1m4f at Doncaster (good to soft) under Conor Whiteley 26 days ago; 3lb higher in a deeper race now but the Michael Herrington stable continues in good form. |
8/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

5-19 on AW but 0-15 on the grass after finishing well behind at Thirsk two weeks ago (1m4f, good); he'll be of greater interest when back on the synthetics. |
11/2 |

10th 8 (12) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
7-47 on AW but has struggled for form since finishing third at Newcastle (1m, Class 5; from 12lb higher) last November; failed to beat a rival in each of his last two starts (9.4f/1m4f) so it's difficult to have confidence. |
25/1 |

10th 2 (8) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

4lb lower than when winning over C&D last March and 11lb lower than when successful at Pontefract in April; little inspiration from his recent AW efforts, though, beaten 11l, 17.5l, and 23l respectively in three starts in 2026. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |

Beaten half a length or less in his last two starts at Newmarket (1m2f/1m4f); has winning form on Tapeta (at Wolverhampton) and is 8lb lower than when last on the AW, but losing run up to 14; needs a bit more. |

3rd 3 (6) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future). |

Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |

1st 5 (1) |

7/2 |

3rd 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed. |
25/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred. |

11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |

Knows how to win as he showed when successful from four rivals at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but he was allowed to dictate there and didn't back it up at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a week ago (has won over that C&D); needs to bounce back. |

Recorded his sixth win when making all to justify favouritism off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 18 days ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 2lb higher than last time and has won over C&D in the past; could be a major force again. |

His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |

9st 6lb |
Wore cheekpieces last six starts, winning in late summer last year on first two occasions; a late effort took him from last to fifth of 14 when he made a good reappearance here (1m4f, good to firm) last month but venturing beyond an extended 1m4f for first time provides a huge question mark. |
