31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat this year, for instance 11th to Believitanducan in the Northumberland Vase last month; not proven beyond 2m in this sphere but he switched back to hurdles for a 2m6f win at Stratford 12 days ago, which might give some renewed hope. |

1st 3 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Not at best on the Flat this year (albeit still capable of useful form) and managed only fourth of six when warm favourite for latest hurdle race, at Worcester (2m, good) in May; that said, he's a stout stayer on the Flat and could have untapped potential over this new trip over jumps. |

Not in peak form (hurdles or Flat) from last August onwards but it's not forgotten that he was third in the Plate itself last year off 3lb higher. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
3-15 on AW (last two wins were at this track) compared to 0-4 on turf; in good form at 1m4f on AW initially this year, including a second under Taryn Langley; there was a dip in April when last seen but it's easy to see him returning in a major role for his in-form yard. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in February and makes the shortlist; jockey having her first ride under rules. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Gained a first win of 2026 at Kempton (2m) in May and in good form until beating just one there (2m) last month; this three-time winner here (including over C&D) can get back on track. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made a winning start for current yard over fences at Southwell (2m4f) in November but only eighth back hurdling in 2m7f handicap here 17 days ago; visor and tongue-tie are retried now. |
50/1 |

8th 8 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase last November but pulled up in his final chase and has finished last in two subsequent Flat starts; capable hurdler but hardly returns to this discipline at the top of his game. |

Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won five times this year including his last two starts off his lower turf mark; closely matched with V Power on last month's C&D running and another big effort is likely; stable also runs Letmebetheboss. |

1st 7 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Prolific AW winner, most recently when darting 14l clear at Wolverhampton (2m) in June; narrowly exploited lower turf mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last month but he pulled clear with the runner-up and remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher; shortlisted. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Without a Flat win since September 2023, but is now 4lb lower than when third of 14 in a stronger race over C&D in April and drops into 0-70 company for the first time; much respected, especially if allowed his own way in front. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |
6/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |
20/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |

6th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 109y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Big improver over hurdles and he made it 5-8 in that sphere when completing a hat-trick at Perth (2m, good) two weeks ago; looks interesting off dangerous mark on the Flat and he won over 1m7f in France as a 3yo. |
15/8 |

1st 1 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Solid hurdles strike-rate (4-7); seeks a hat-trick following wins at Huntingdon and Ludlow (both 2m, good; combined rise of 11lb); wouldn't want too much rain - good to soft would be fine - but otherwise holds a clear chance. |
