1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His C&D win in February was achieved off a 10lb higher mark; out of sorts more recently though and others look safer. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All nine wins over 6f including three here; 8lb below his last winning mark, but attempts this far for only the second time on his 64th start and didn't prove his stamina in the first. |

He was winning for the ninth time in his career when scoring at Kempton in February (made most); quiet on turf this summer and opposable despite a reduced mark. |

Four 5f wins since December, including C&D, with the latest coming at Lingfield 24 days ago; only 2lb higher and looks set for another prominent showing. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Finds winning races difficult (2-25) but both wins have been over C&D, the latest in a similar contest (good to firm) last Tuesday; carries a 5lb penalty but looks sure to run his race. |
100/30 |

1st 3 (11) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 24 starts came in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (good) in May last year; beaten just under 2l into fourth of nine behind Washington Heir here (5f, good) three weeks ago, but may be better over this trip these days; a player despite his wide draw. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-23 albeit the win came in a 0-55 handicap here (6f, good) just over a year ago; runner-up in last two starts at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Bath (5.7f, good to firm) and it may be that a bit further and good or faster ground suits him best, but he still holds strong claims in this company. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two 5f wins at Newcastle this winter and he finished third off a 2lb higher mark back there in February; disappointed behind Little Mi Mi last month; could rebound with a promising 7lb claimer booked. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

3rd 7 (6) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Held off the late finishers to notch his second C&D win (11-2; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; respectable effort (sixth) over 6f at Wolverhampton latest; Jack Callan's 5lb claim may aid the cause from a handicapping perspective. |

9st 5lb |
Two of his five wins on turf have been on soft; came back to form when winning at Kempton (6f, AW) in January but he's been well beaten in both starts since; a 63-day break needs to have done him good. |

Consistency not his strong suit, but he is 2-5 over C&D and latest heavy defeat excusable on account of his wide draw; capable if on a going day. |

Record of 2-5 since wearing a hood (maiden previously), the wins in Class 6 events at Brighton (about 5f); has to overcome career-high mark back up in trip/grade and returned to AW. |

Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that. |

Poor strike-rate; ran okay at Lingfield on his penultimate start but efforts either side of it suggest he's vulnerable. |

Verdict
In-form maiden ALSHIMALI is taken to open his account and reverse C&D placings with Poetic Jack, who warrants respect all the same. Big Bard and Okami complete the shortlist.[Steve Boow]
