18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won three in a row (1m7f/2m, good-soft) prior to heavy defeat at Windsor a fortnight ago; however, the ground was soft, heavy in places last time which may have been too demanding, and he's not written off today. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won on the Flat in September and also successful on four of his five hurdle starts since, including on soft ground and in good style at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last time; he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but he's clearly thriving and could go well once more. |

Made all in this race a year ago, after a seven-month break, and showed career-best form when scoring at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in the autumn; returns from latest break on a tough mark but no surprise if he gives this a good shot. |

2-16 in handicaps, raised to 3m here (good) for last three outings; ridden by Cameron Johnstone-Baker last month on last two starts, runner-up before winning easily with a career best four weeks ago (Miss Tiara third); 8lb higher today but needs plenty of respect. |

Yet to score this season but she comes here in decent nick, fourth of nine over C&D in December; mark is easing so she has possibilities after a break. |

9st 9lb |
Went close at Windsor (11.5f) in May and she was winning her fifth race when landing a 1m4f Brighton classified (also good to firm) going away last Monday; 4lb penalty makes things trickier back in a handicap but she's not discounted. |

0-10 overall but he's finished a close second in four of his last five runs including in a maiden here (2m1f, good) last month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's a big player again back in a handicap. |

0-9 overall but second on a variety of ground at Fontwell (2m3f), Fakenham (2m) and Sandown (2m4f) in three consecutive starts this winter; flop in first-time cheekpieces here (extended 2m5f) last time is the big worry but he has a huge shout on those earlier performances. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His last win was over two years ago but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up and he won't mind what the weather does. |

About 17l behind Belgarum when third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) on recent chasing debut but significant positives can be drawn from that performance and he's 11lb better off with that rival here; contender if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

Dual hurdle winner (once here); seemingly back in good nick when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in June, his second run after a break, but disappointed there last month and needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces today; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground. |
