Six-time winner, the latest over C&D in May off 2lb lower; underfoot conditions shouldn't faze him but he does need to rebound from a lesser effort at Chester six weeks ago. |

Only 3lb lower when beating five others at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was beaten a long way over hurdles last time having bled from the nose. |

9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton last November; 2025 has been a struggle but he's eligible for this lowly level as a result and today is the first time he hasn't been apprentice-ridden in over two years; risky but not impossible. |

Seven-time AW winner but he's finished a well-held seventh at Kempton in last two starts; on much lower mark back on turf and he's just 1-11 in this sphere; that win was a narrow success off 4lb lower; others preferred. |

Fared better when upped to middle distances before a blowout early last month; has since done better on the AW four weeks ago, when maybe stretched by 1m6f, but needs more off this mark. |

Got off the mark at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month but ran no sort of race at Lingfield (11.5f, good) two weeks ago; returns to AW with a bounce back needed on his first try over this far; stable going well. |

9st 7lb |
Record of 1-14 but she nearly added to her tally when going close off this mark over C&D (good to firm) last Monday; that was much more like it on her drop back to 1m and she's a big player if she can repeat the form. |

Gets away with 1m2f but she's pulled hard all four times she's tackled it and today's drop to 1m should suit; finished last in both runs this spring but ought to do much better. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Secured a fourth win (three on turf) when taking Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW) on his April reappearance but that hasn't been backed up in two subsequent starts; latest fourth was a step back in the right direction, however, when shaping like this first attempt at 1m4f is worth a go; 1-1 here and he holds each-way prospects. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; reappeared with a comfortable AW win in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back again after that but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form. |
16/1 |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored. |

Five-race maiden; clear second off this mark at Kempton (1m) last Monday, showing improvement for first-time blinkers; likely to go up in the weights once reassessed; respected in the retained headgear. |

Inconsistent this season but he won three times last year and returned to form when third over C&D (good to firm) recently; another 1lb lower today and can be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

Three wins last year and he's below his last winning mark; reappeared with fairly encouraging third at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last month but he's failed to shine on his three outings since. |

Verdict
Having posted an improved effort at Nottingham on his debut for Dylan Cunha, EDVARD GRIEG (nap) could well take another step forward and get off the mark. Double Red, who may show the benefit of this drop in class with headgear fitted, is second choice ahead of Finn Russell who won his most recent Flat start. Darysina Gold has possibilities granted fast ground, while Lzaz could be involved now handicapping.[Steve Boow]
