15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Impressive in this race in 2024 when rated 3lb higher; mixed bag this summer but his two best turf runs have come over C&D and this represents an ease in grade; can't rule out. |

C&D winner who won two in a row at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and was a close third over C&D (good) in May; he's dropped back down to a handy mark but has finished down the field on his last three outings. |

9st 12lb |
Ex-French gelding who doesn't always convince and has come more than a stone down the weights for this yard; ran fairly in one previous start on Tapeta but is some way down the pecking order. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |
6/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |

5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Good second over C&D last month but not quite in the same form back here 17 days ago; likely to run his race and more minor money could be on the cards; cheekpieces now added. |
9/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Expensive to follow since joining Ivan Furtado but he usually gives his running; dropping back to 5f isn't sure to be of benefit. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer who made it three wins in his last five starts when making all at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Friday; it's over three years since he defied a mark this high but he has to be respected in his current mood. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Good strike-rate on AW and he's run creditably on his last three starts; drops back in trip and he's one to take seriously. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
4-9 on Tapeta including two wins over 6f here; 7lb below his last winning mark and has run with credit over 7f at Southwell in his last two starts, but this stiffer track does pose a question. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
First three wins were on turf but last three have come on Tapeta; only 1lb higher than for his Wolverhampton win in January but that was a Class 5 and he finished out the back in his final run during the winter; now goes back up in grade and he has work to do after 189 days off. |
25/1 |

10th 9 (8) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a double over C&D in November and he got back on the scoresheet when making all at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher and could make another bold bid back in trip. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell in the autumn; runner-up twice since and he wasn't beaten far when favourite at Southwell (fifth of eighth) last time; now returns to 7f but he has plenty of form at this trip and he's in the mix. |

Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won a Chester handicap on heavy ground in September 2024 but mainly below form since (finished last of seven over C&D last week); well handicapped but has plenty to prove. |

7th 3 (2) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate over the last four years and current mark reflects a decline in his form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton last January and now 8lb lower; however, he's hard to fancy on his recent form and is unproven at this trip. |
