31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Five-time winner, all on good to firm ground; arrives in good form but the ground looks a potential stumbling block. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |
3/1 |

7th 1 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Five-time winner who has been placed in half of his six visits here, including when third in this race in 2024; carries a 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but Toby Moore's 7lb claim will aid his bid to go back-to-back; considered. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Still 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May but has been pretty consistent since rejoining Tony Carroll in March and probably won't be far away. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ran well for second over C&D on his seasonal return in June and went one better at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 31 days ago; found little off the bridle when well beaten at Salisbury on Friday; would have a point to prove if turned out quickly. |
7/2 |

6th 1 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from seven months off with a good second at Brighton and went one better at Sandown four weeks ago (both 1m on good to firm); 4lb rise manageable and Simon Walker a positive booking. |
3/1 |

1st 7 (11) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Patchy campaign last season but he's 2lb lower than when winning at Newbury (1m, good) last May and reappeared with a good second at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month; in the mix if backing that up. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |

8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

Raced mainly on good/firmer; proved game last month for a second C&D win; finished about 7l behind Fighting Poet here since, however. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict these days and losing run is up to 13, but he had an excuse over 1m5f last time and is now 4lb lower than for his C&D win (good to firm) last summer; could be dangerous back in trip. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |
