3rd 10 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
All three wins have been on AW (7f/1m); good second over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) last month and he had a near-miss over C&D (good) on Friday night; hard to rule out another big run but this is a quick turnaround and he's 6lb out of the weights. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner; 0-10 on turf but has made the frame off today's mark twice in recent weeks (6f/7f, good to firm) and has good draw here; probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All three wins have been on the AW (7f/1m), the most recent at Chelmsford last August, but he returned to form at Windsor (6f, good to firm) ten days ago, finishing well to be second of 11; won't mind the step back up in trip and he's shortlisted. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-35, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December off a mark 8lb higher than today's; never featured over this trip at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and better is needed. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |
15/2 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |
12/1 |
|
9 (5) |
1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His form dipped on turf three weeks ago but he was in fine form on AW over the winter, winning twice at Lingfield and going close over C&D last month; perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race as competitive as this one. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (9) |
1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran respectably at Chester returned to turf last time; he's 0-8 this year but remains favourably treated, being 6lb below last winning mark; three-time C&D scorer. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

On a losing run but he arrives in decent nick, sixth of nine in 7f Chelmsford handicap 50 days ago; one to consider after a break. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |
5/1 |

5th 3 (11) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives in very good form without winning, a clear second of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 25 days ago; drawn wide but this course winner merits serious consideration with Oisin Murphy back up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won two fast-ground C&D handicaps last season, both off higher marks than today's; threatening a win in recent starts and Jack Callan takes off a handy 3lb; unraced on slower than good ground. |

10st 8lb |
Can lead; multiple AW wins at 7f and 1m but he's 0-14 on turf and it's a long time since he's been any threat on grass; up against it in only his fifth turf start in the last two years. |
16/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time C&D winner who's not well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end; resumed in good form, with two solid efforts over 1m, but has never won off a mark this high and isn't improving at his age. |
12/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Five-time Kempton winner who boasts a consistent record round here too; solid comeback from over three months off over C&D last month and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has never won off a mark this high. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

3rd 2 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 1lb higher; also good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and better than eighth of 11 might suggest at Beverley ten days later, fading late after racing too keenly; Mason Paetel has won on him before; runner-up once from two outings over C&D and enters calculations. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On much reduced mark but this Kempton specialist has not won since 2022 and has form figures of 90068079 this year; cheekpieces return on his second run after a break but he needs a major revival back up in trip. |
12/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Prolific course winner but the latest of them was back in April 2022; now rated 32lb lower but he wasn't in much form earlier in the year; could revive after his break; stable also run Galel; betting can guide. |

5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-time course winner who is 12lb lower than when a close third over C&D last September; a market check is advised but this 10yo has struggled this year (including here) and is without a win since April 2022. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Has a point to prove after running poorly in recent Newbury race won by Rage Of Thunder but was in good form beforehand, most notably when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm); contender if quickly back on song. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Exposed six-time winner who did well to overcome trouble in running at Windsor one month ago (6f, good to firm; 4lb lower); unraced here but she's an Epsom winner on good to soft. |
7/1 |
Verdict
G’Daay makes the shortlist having dropped 1lb below his last winning mark, but the vote goes to THAPA VC who only just failed to get up over C&D ten days ago. He can go one better from the same mark (1lb well in). Monsieur Beaulieu finished just half a length behind the selection last time and again shouldn’t be far away.[David Bellingham]
