20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not won since his stellar campaign in 2024 but there has been promise this year, including at Hamilton on Friday; 2lb lower today and now sports cheekpieces for the first time; chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
10yo who is winless since August 2024 and needs to improve upon his last few performances; however, he's a nine-time course winner, including this race in 2024, and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as this May; not discounted. |
10/1 |

8th 4 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since 2024; ran well on consecutive 7f starts in April/May and is well handicapped on those efforts but recent sprint form has been below par. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle in January and successful again over C&D last month; poorly drawn when fourth at Southwell last time; one to consider. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today. |
22/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Close up on consecutive outings in May (5f/6f) and also ran well when sixth of 21 at York (6f, good; behind Woven) last month; still on a workable mark and ought to be in the thick of things again. |
8/1 |
|
6th 13 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed 7yo but he arrives in good form, beaten only a neck at Thirsk two weeks ago; 0-8 at York but has run well here on several occasions; should be thereabouts. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Can blow the start but he won two C&D handicaps in late 2025 and is well treated on that form; trainer has won the last two renewals of this race; high on the list. |
8/1 |
|
17th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Slowly away and never a threat on all three starts this year, the latest last weekend; being dropped another 2lb can only help but he isn't obviously in good enough form to add to his 2024 success in this. |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (15) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Slowly away and never a threat both starts this year; dropped only 1lb and others make more appeal; one of three runners for Paul Midgley. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three good runs over the winter (two of them from five runs in Bahrain) but he has struggled in two 7f runs back in Britain since April; handicapper slow to relent and this step up to 1m isn't sure to spark a revival. |
16/1 |
|
13th 6 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who was well beaten in Bahrain and at Chester on his last two starts; however, he was drawn wide at Chester and showed some good form in Bahrain in January; he's run really well on both previous attempts at this C&D and is not ruled out each-way off a competitive mark. |
20/1 |
|
12th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Campaigned back in Bahrain since December, best efforts when placed twice over 6f; well treated on historical data but hasn't won a domestic race since 2023; returns to 7f for first time since last July. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
3-40 overall; usually thereabouts on turf/AW, including this year, but latest start was an exception and he needs to bounce back from that Ripon run. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win in April; respectable fifth of nine off this mark at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win five weeks ago; one concern is that he was below form last September on his only run at this track. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
He wasn't disgraced in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot but Hamilton last time was a backward step; goes without headgear today and stable may hold stronger claims with Seven Questions. |
40/1 |
|
8th 2 (2) |
19th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to Britain off a lofty mark having done well in Bahrain this winter; struggled initially but he didn't run badly when seventh of 25 in the Wokingham last month; wouldn't want much more rain. |
9/1 |
|
7th 15 (13) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Close second in Listed Windsor Castle here as 2yo but well held in the big 5f handicap here last June and his 6f Bahrain win at Christmas didn't go far enough to convince that he's right for this race; others in better form, too, with first-time cheekpieces (retained) no help last time. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has two wins over C&D and has been placed here on his two starts this year; should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins, the latest over this trip last October off a 4lb lower mark; good second two weeks ago and this veteran can make another bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He was ending a losing run when scrambling home in a C&D handicap last October; finished lame when down the field here one month later; others are more appealing. |
