2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
His win in the Leger Legends 0-70 classified event at Doncaster (1m, good) three weeks ago came a little out of the blue but the form has worked out, with the second and fourth winning since; only nudged up 1lb and has won back to back before; considered. |

Useful for David O'Meara a couple of years ago (2-2 for him round here) but ran only twice last season and has regressed lately; didn't see it out for his new yard over 7f here latest and holds only each-way claims, running in a sprint for the first time in ages. |

8st 11lb |
Has gained his only two British wins in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket but since the latest one in July he has been placed twice over C&D and an unlucky second at Newbury (flew home from a difficult position, amid interrupted passage); each-way possibilities. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |

Very up and down this year, with his stand-out efforts at Ripon (wins over 1m2f on good/soft); down the field at Musselburgh last time but a case can be made if he reproduces this season's best form; ran fairly well here last September; not discounted. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |

Just one win to his name since June 2023 and he failed to justify favouritism in a similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good) last time, with the reopposing Star Start a place ahead of him second; however, his record in recent years suggests that going softer than good is ideal for him nowadays and this is the first time he's faced such conditions since a respectable reappearance off a much higher mark in the spring; considered. |
