11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over this trip on turf in 2024 and didn't run at all badly when fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m2f, good) in June after 221 days off; seven previous goes on the AW leave him with something to prove. |

Last win came in emphatic fashion over C&D (good to soft) in October 2024; still 6lb higher and he may just need this after 221 days off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |

Narrowly landed a similar event over C&D in March, but well held in three handicaps since; return to this level should help, but others are preferred for the win. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable mare who gained this season's win in three-runner contest at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May; suited by this C&D and will appreciate today's ease in grade; each-way claims at least. |
11/2 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |

Reliable mare who wasn't beaten far last time at Epsom when just behind Imperical Cult; has run well in the last three renewals of this race, beaten 2l or less; considered. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect. |

9st 9lb |
All three wins have come at Brighton (1m2f/1m4f); placed in his last two starts in similar contests at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) and has run well on Tapeta at Southwell; first-time visor replaces the usual blinkers and he has every chance on these terms; high on list. |

3rd 4 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has suffered some heavy defeats of late, but almost sprang a 80-1 surprise when only headed close home by Foinix over C&D last Tuesday; if he is able to back up that run then he comes here with a shout. |

2nd 6 (8) |

Tough task from out of the weights on his C&D return and has come to hand early the past two seasons, including when winning here first time out in 2023; could have done without the dry spell though. |

17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear. |

5th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Ended a long losing run when scoring at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June but he was beaten a long way in his follow-up bid at Brighton (1m2f); now drops back at this trip but he's not easy to predict and has always been more potent on turf (0-9 on AW); down the list. |
12/1 |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Has hit form lately, going down by a neck here (1m, good) in May and going one better at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month; well held in one previous attempt over this far, but recent efforts suggest he is worth another go; respected from 4lb higher. |
