Good spell last summer culminated in a good second off 8lb higher in the Shergar Cup Mile here; not in the same form since, including during a stint in Bahrain. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has seven wins and usually at his peak in the summer months but below his best at Bath on his last two starts; others preferred. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |

9st 11lb |
7f specialist who made all at Doncaster (good to firm) in August and ran just as well when second at Thirsk three weeks later; edging up the weights but again likely to be thereabouts. |

0-9, but she ran one of her better races when third of nine over C&D in September; off for 11 weeks since, but holds each-way claims if returning in the same form. |

9st 6lb |
0-8; second over 7f on turf last year but well held in three handicaps this season, the last two in headgear; bit to prove after her effort at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time. |

9st 4lb |
Six-time winner who is well treated on best form; however, below par during a light 2024 campaign and failed to revive on reappearance; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |
14/1 |

4 (1) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
High in the weights after three wins this year but not disgraced the last twice and claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause; won't be far away. |
15/2 |
|
5th 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D win last summer; best effort for some time when getting up late to beat Havana Touch by a nose at Lingfield six weeks ago (7f, AW); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |
15/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A three-time 7f/1m AW winner in 2025; back on song when runner-up to Bella Bisbee over C&D 16 days ago, so must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
