Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |

Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at Wolverhampton and he went close in a classified event there (7f) last Tuesday; record of 0-12 on turf but he has placed form in this sphere and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise; key player. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture. |

4-44 AW; 10lb below last winning mark (5f, Chelmsford) but hasn't beaten a rival in his last three starts, including when back from a 150-day absence at Lingfield (6f; 80-1) 19 days ago; far safer to look elsewhere. |

Three-time Wolverhampton 7f winner who rarely runs on turf or in sprints these days; usually has plenty of use made of him but whether he'll be able to hold a pitch, down in trip from the outside stall, remains to be seen. |

Retains vitality aged nine, having won over 7f in May; ran respectably over 8.5f last time; versatile sort who has scored twice over 9.5f on AW and has a good strike-rate at classified level; respected. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A repeat of the form of either May's Doncaster 7f win (good to soft) or last September's second over today's C&D (soft) would see him go close; over four years now since his sole win on fast turf, however. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Finished strongly to resume winning ways over C&D (good to soft; from 2lb lower) in May; hasn't operated at the same level since, but overall strike rate (10-80) is admirable for the level; forecast ground perhaps faster than ideal. |

Turf maiden (0-13) who has gained four 7f wins on AW, the most recent of which was at Lingfield in March; twice placed during the summer, losing out by a neck (third) at Salisbury on penultimate start; returns from a break. |

Four-time winner on the AW and 0-12 on turf, but was only beaten a head and a short head into third of 13 in an amateur riders' event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; 1lb higher, but still shortlisted. |

Can lead; four AW wins at 7f but 0-11 on turf and the way he was finishing at Brighton in May suggests he won't be one of the stronger finishers with extra emphasis on stamina on this track. |
