21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner; well handicapped, being 8lb lower than for his Chester win last May, but he didn't fire at that meeting two weeks ago and he now has a point to prove. |
12/1 |
|
13th 12 (6) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Prominent racer with a very good Chester record, including a win in this race on good to firm in 2024 (also third on soft in 2023); off for 20 months prior to finishing well held at the Newmarket Craven meeting three weeks ago but he led for long enough to think plenty of ability remains and this has presumably been the target; could bounce back to form with a bang. |
5/1 |
|
13th 2 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in this race in 2024 when it was staged as a Class 2; made all at Chester (7.5f, good to firm) on his next start and it was a solid fourth back there (7f, good to soft) when last seen 20 months ago; yard going well and handicapper has given him a shot too; watch the market. |

Is 0-19 and he came in a below-par fifth of eight in 1m Salisbury handicap 20 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Showed some smart form in defeat in his younger days, finishing fourth of eight behind Auguste Rodin in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity; runner-up three times last year, but failed to beat a rival on last month's Kempton return (7f, AW) and is now 0-18; best watched. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 and his C&D win came before most of today's rivals were born; not disgraced on reappearance and he's now 13lb lower than this time last year, but his last turf win was in 2022; not the percentage call. |
40/1 |

7th 7 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 at Wolverhampton; on a good mark but he ended last season with some below-par efforts and is likely best watched on his first start for 194 days. |

5th 1 (6) |

Multiple winner down the years, including over C&D in 2024; running okay this term until form dipped the last twice; still needs to prove he can win races aged 12. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Recorded his sixth victory of the year with a career-best effort in 5.4f handicap at York 16 days ago; he's also a winner in the mud so must enter calculations once more. |
5/1 |
|
1 (7) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a fine season, winning five handicaps, and he ran another sound race when fourth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago; this intermediate trip should suit and he's versatile where the going is concerned; likely to run well but might find a few better treated. |
10/1 |
|
2 (17) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's enjoyed a fine year and although he's come unstuck on his last two starts, he did too much early at York and then raced up the middle in the Stewards' Cup; earlier Ascot win off just 2lb lower was a fine effort; first visit to Ripon but he has won on the undulations at Epsom; drawn against the rail and a big run would seem likely. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on soft ground and he's now 8lb lower than when runner-up at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; however, he's finished no better than seventh across his five outings since. |
12/1 |
|
6 (9) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Respectable second at Leicester in June but far from consistent otherwise this year and losing spell goes back to spring 2024; not particularly solid. |
16/1 |
|
12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner who was beaten just 1l when second at Leicester in June and is now 6lb lower; however, soundly beaten on his three runs since (C&D last time) and the first-time visor needs to prompt a revival. |

10st 4lb |
Seemingly back in prime form when making all at Goodwood (7f, good) in June but cut little ice in major handicaps on next two outings; sure to appreciate this ease in grade but still has something to prove. |
11/2 |

17th 8 (15) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Won three times last season, including twice in 1m turf handicaps (good/soft); good second in 1m handicaps at Newmarket (good to firm) and Wetherby (good) on her last two outings but this is a rise in grade. |
50/1 |

2nd 3 (9) |
11th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, including twice in 1m turf handicaps (good or slower); no problem with faster ground, as when second of 13 at Newmarket 23 days ago; should give her running once more. |

2nd 5 (10) |

Midfield (never landed a blow) in Class 2 event at Chester on seasonal debut; remains on career-high mark but this return to Class 5 is a plus; has done all her winning at this level. |

3-13 at Chester (the wins over 7.6f) but the last time he scored anywhere was in May 2023; has his lowest mark since 2020 and a shout on plenty of 2024 form, but seasonal debut may not be his best moment. |

1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |

7f course winner who had dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last December when beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; races off the same mark but this trip looks to be right on the limit of his stamina. |

9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |

25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |

Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |

Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip. |
