Four wins last year included one over C&D; made a winning return at Southwell (1m, AW) in March but well beaten back on turf twice since; not quite sure what to expect. |

9st 2lb |
A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a similar race over C&D last summer when rated 2lb higher; he has finished second in two of his last three starts, the latest on AW nine days ago, and another big run looks likely. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner (2023); not far behind Barleybrown and Abu Royal here this month, but declined a winning opportunity (carried head high and idled) next time; visor didn't work at Beverley last week, so question marks persist. |
10/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Losing run is mounting up and he didn't look particularly resolute when nevertheless going close at Musselburgh (1m) most recently; chance depends on the effects of new headgear. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |
11/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Loves it here and he's fine from this trip up to 1m4f; placed over the extended 1m here in May before finding the ground too slow at Carlisle; a wide draw isn't ideal, though. |
10/1 |

8th 7 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley, the latest over 7.5f last August (good); has also won at up to 1m4f there so has a chance following good run last time; soft ground a slight concern. |

8th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; best form has been on the AW, although wasn't disgraced after a break when 7l fifth to Makalu (who is now 5lb worse off) at Beverley last month (8.5f, good to soft). |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
27th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Has yet to win a race but was twice placed over 1m4f here earlier this year; however, that's probably more his trip and he was outpaced over Beverley's extended 1m last time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
18th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

11-race maiden; placed twice over 1m4f at Newcastle earlier this year; well beaten in first-time blinkers (retained) at Southwell last time (March); tailed off only previous run on turf (1m4f, soft); stable going well but plenty to prove. |

Market springer when an eyecatching fifth at Ayr (1m, good) 12 days ago but that was in a classified event and this is tougher back in a competitive handicap; has some work to do and he's still a maiden after 11 starts. |

Won very similar C&D race to this last summer and was second in C&D handicaps on next two outings; has strong claims if judged on those efforts but needs to raise her game after ending 2024 with two below-par runs. |

9st 4lb |
1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet. |
14/1 |

9th 2 (7) |
1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet. |

Won this race in 2022 and finished second in it last year; much lower rated this time around and last month's third over C&D was more encouraging; should have a part to play. |
