30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Off a good mark he wore down a subsequent winner at Ayr (1m, good) and getting back on softer ground is a plus; raised just 3lb and he's on the shortlist; stays this far. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and some of that has been here, although not on his latest visit in July when only eighth; however, he's one of a few in here who would appreciate softening ground and firmly enters the reckoning. |
4/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has produced his peak RPR of 102 in both C&D attempts, including a win off 3lb higher in this race last year; Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 5lb; interesting returned to this scenario. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on heavy ground; placed off higher marks in a few major handicaps, including the Royal Hunt Cup over C&D, in 2023; seemed to need the run in the Bunbury Cup eight weeks ago on reappearance; highly respected in this easier-looking assignment. |

Placed in three major handicaps last term, including this one off 3lb higher (good to soft); now goes in tongue-tie on 2024 reappearance; likely player provided he returns in top form. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and has run well in defeat on his four starts since, on the latest finishing fourth of 31 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, soft); one of two solid contenders for the yard. |

9yo who looked as good as ever when making all with something to spare at Sandown (1m, good) in May on his sole run this season; however, he's never defied a mark this high and may be vulnerable in this hot contest. |

Three-time winner (including at this venue) but no success since July 2023; has been below his best in four outings this season; plenty to prove now. |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won a competitive handicap at Newbury (1m, good) in May and ran really well when third of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) latest, when he had to wait for room; also effective here and could be in the mix. |
7/1 |

3rd 8 (12) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May but has been unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup and Coral Challenge; current mark is stiffer than the one off which he finished sixth, amid traffic issues, in this race two years ago. |

8th 6 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May; unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup but wasn't disgraced; successful on this card in 2023 (7f handicap) and 2025 (this race); solid claims back here. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Progressive on AW, winning twice (9.5f/1m2f); has failed to transfer that form back to turf (1m2f) in last two outings but gives the impression this return to 1m is worth exploring; difficult to write off. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (9) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Major improver in 1m2f AW handicaps, quickening up smartly at Lingfield in March (hood discarded, now refitted; Andaleep back in third); said to have been unsuited by Chester's tight turns when way back there in May; needs to show he's as good on turf as AW but remains of interest. |
9/2 |
|
11th 1 (6) |
9th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Big improver in AW handicaps this year, running out a decisive winner of a 14-runner race over 1m2f at Lingfield on Good Friday; a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him if proving as effective on turf (9l second in a maiden on previous attempt). |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended long losing run when successful in a 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield in April; ran well on his next two starts and when down the field on last month's return to action at Kempton (after 11 weeks off) it was in a higher grade than this; handles testing ground and has a good amateur booked; one for the shortlist. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a competitive handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April before being placed on his next two starts, but he was tailed off over this C&D in May; a 77-day break may have done him some good and he could bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (6) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out. |

1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere. |

Multiple winner in his young days including over C&D, but has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, one of which was on Jersey; may find a couple too strong. |
