29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form under both codes last year included a 1m4f course win; quiet return to jumping at Cartmel two weeks ago but that was after a lengthy break and he's on better Flat mark than he is over hurdles. |
4/1 |

8th 2 |
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. |

A dual hurdles winner (including over C&D) last season; shaped well on his return when runner-up over C&D in June but failed to beat a rival back here last time; the sort to bounce back though. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Two of his five wins over hurdles have been over C&D; has a decent record fresh and made a solid return when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; 5lb higher than his last winning mark though and a career-best is required. |
4/1 |

2nd 6 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

Ended last season in career-best form, winning easily at Taunton (3m, good) before finishing third over same C&D off new mark; probably needs to find more again on this first run for three months, though. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |

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. |

8yo who snapped a long losing run in a classified at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) in June before respectable fourth of eight under a penalty in Epsom handicap (1m4f, good); she's 2lb lower than last time; chance. |

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. |

Asserted readily on run-in at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday and is now 2-3 for Nick Scholfield; effectively only 6lb higher under 7lb penalty here and won't mind the forecast rain; respected in current mood. |

Won twice for Paddy Butler in the spring of 2024 on soft; made an immediate impact when scoring for the first time since at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month on stable debut in returning cheekpieces (retained since); not disgraced when runner-up back there on Saturday and remains in decent form; claims. |

Returned to form with a C&D win on last month's debut for Nick Scholfield, having a few of these in behind and scoring a shade cosily; remains well treated despite a 5lb rise and is the one to beat if backing up that effort. |

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. |
