18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 1lb higher; also good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and better than eighth of 11 might suggest at Beverley ten days later, fading late after racing too keenly; Mason Paetel has won on him before; runner-up once from two outings over C&D and enters calculations. |

Four-time course winner at up to 8.5f, latest success being in April (8.5f, good to firm); fair form since including when 2l fourth here last time (7.5f, good to firm); tries this trip for first time. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |

It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |

10st 5lb |
Won twice over 7f last November; comparable form when second at Carlisle (1m, soft) last month; not so good last time and she faces a stiff task at the weights; slower ground ideal too. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Scored over C&D (soft) just under a year ago and has been in good form lately; close second off today's mark here (7.7f, soft) a week ago and also suited by good ground; likely contender again. |

1-19, her win coming at Chester (7.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer in June last year; only modest form for current yard and she doesn't look ready to take advantage of career-low mark now back at 7f. |

25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |
