25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won this race on good ground 12 months ago but was on an upward curve at that stage and doesn't obviously arrive in anything like the same form this time round. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in this race last year before going on to beat American Gal by a neck in a Group 3 at Ascot (1m, good) 18 days later; not at the same level in three starts this year and although not beaten that far in the Kensington Palace at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month (four of these behind), still more will be needed. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Third in this race on good to firm last year and left even that form behind when bagging a Group 3 over the round mile here under Billy Loughnane a month later; hasn't fired in two outings this spring but given a chance by the handicapper as a result and no shock to see a revival back at Ascot. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) on New Year's Day and made the frame in Listed race and series final over that C&D on next two starts (both good to soft); has fitness to prove after six-month absence but could still have more improvement to come over hurdles. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer who beat Maple to open his hurdling account here (1m7f, soft) in January and has since been placed in a Listed race over that trip here (good to soft); likely to make his presence felt. |

Upped in class but has Musselburgh form, having raced over C&D in both attempts over hurdles, winning the latest; still unexposed in this sphere and could go well. |

Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |

Went close over C&D last week in a race he won two years earlier; now 3lb higher and they claimed 5lb last time, so may need more. |

2nd 3 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He was 4lb lower when beating Strike to take this race in 2024; could only finish fifth last year but he took advantage of a reduced mark to score at Redcar (6f, good to firm; First Folio fourth) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but he should be thereabouts. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Good record here, his seven appearances yielding three wins and two second-place finishes; solid handicapping case to be made on his soft-ground C&D win just over a year ago and it would be no surprise if the return to this venue encouraged a revival. |
20/1 |

8th 11 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (12) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent and winless across his first 17 starts before scoring in first-time tongue-tie/blinkers at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago; needs to back up that latest performance but he won with something to spare and a 5lb rise may not stop him if the headgear maintains its positive effect. |

17-race maiden; best run this term when second at Doncaster in June (1m, good to soft); beaten just 5.5l when tenth of 17 in refitted cheekpieces at York last time (7f, good to firm; met trouble); blinkers now tried; chance |
