9st 11lb |
On a losing run but he posted a very good second after wind surgery at Chester (6f) in June; went without his usual cheekpieces when last of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Three poor runs to begin his turf campaign but he underwent wind surgery in June and returned to form with a close second at Chester (6f, good) four weeks ago; not certain to confirm those placings with Stratusnine. |

Seems best on the AW these days and has run poorly on his last three turf outings; his hopes hinge on a recent wind operation having a positive effect. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Short-headed by Copper Knight at Chester (5f, soft) last month and close fourth of eight there (5.5f, good) since but well beaten in May on sole previous visit here and down the field at Yarmouth on Thursday. |
14/1 |

Only handicap win was off this mark last season (5f, good to firm); close up in Chester sprints the last twice, the penultimate one on soft ground; has each-way claims. |

9st 12lb |
2-6 over C&D; ended a 17-race losing run at Chester (7f, good) last month and only beaten just over 2l into fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; shouldn't have an issue with the return to this trip and shortlisted. |
7/2 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won his first race since September 2024 when scoring at Chester last time (7f, good; third run in cheekpieces, runner-up third there the next day); up 3lb; goes well on fast ground; a possible. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Made a promising return to action at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in April but two runs since have been underwhelming; on a dangerous mark and there is encouragement for AW on pedigree. |

31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-11 since winning last July on her third start and her draw could have been better today; however, she's run well to finish third on her last three starts, going very close at Bath most recently, and she's respected. |
6/1 |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

This is less competitive than at Goodwood but she again finished comfortably held there and has had a good few chances this summer; others make greater appeal. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Has won twice on the AW since finishing well held in this 12 months ago but hasn't offered all that much in his last three races. |
20/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |

Yet to win a handicap but he has been in good form this year, including when picked off late at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (winner gone in again since); each-way claims again. |

C&D winner; the odd encouraging run on turf this year, including at Hamilton last month (5f, soft), but he will need more if he is to come out on top tonight. |

Promising 2yo but he's struggled badly in 2024; has dropped 20lb but without looking like taking advantage; now tries another combination of headgear. |

Beaten under 4l when tried in this headgear combination two runs back (6f, good to firm) but was always behind at Newcastle since; continues to fall in the weights but remains opposable. |
