11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Most recent win came over this trip at Chepstow in May on final run for Thomas Faulkner; not disgraced over 6f twice since and looks ready for a return to 7f; gets that here and should be thereabouts. |
14/1 |

6th 8 (11) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Turned things around when scoring back on turf at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) for Thomas Faulkner last month; remains feasibly treated on that form and he made a solid start for new yard when fourth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good) ten days ago; in the mix. |
8/1 |

4th 10 (18) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; well backed) three weeks ago, reportedly appreciating the return to turf; still has plenty of handicapping scope up 3lb and his new trainer (same owner) has won with two of his last three runners; visor returns today having worn cheekpieces last time. |

Well drawn when third in this race 12 months ago and he is 5lb lower this time around; arrives on the back of some good runs and another big run is expected. |

4th 7 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has done a lot of his racing over 6f and found his stamina coming into play late when winning a handicap run to suit over C&D three weeks ago; no complaints about a 2lb rise for that but this looks a bit stronger. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last December and was third there (7f) next time; absent since heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) in February but he ran well last May following a break and should be fine back on turf and back down to 6f; not ruled out. |

12th 6 (12) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Notched his first win for this trainer at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in December and again ran well there when third having been drawn wide 39 days ago; another wide draw to contend with here but he holds solid claims. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Yet to score this term but running well, fourth of ten in 5.5f Doncaster handicap eight days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

4th 2 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Both turf wins have been over 6f at York, the latest last summer off 1lb lower; found some trouble in running when third at Pontefract last time and has another big effort in him. |

3rd 5 (8) |

Both turf wins have been over 6f at York, the latest a 22-runner handicap last July (good) when back after wind surgery; creditable sixth at Redcar last time (6f, good to firm); a possible. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Merely mid-division at Newmarket (6f, good) three weeks ago but prior to that he took a step back in the right direction when third on the Rowley Mile there (6f, good) and his stable is in fine form; not discounted. |
7/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Beat Fiscal Policy decisively on the Rowley course (6f, good to firm) last May when rated 3lb higher; ran well for third in the same race five weeks ago; not ruled out. |

|
3rd 11 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Tame end to last season and no return to form on his two starts this year; however, he's 2lb lower than when winning this under Olivia Haines last year (good to firm) and the return to the Rowley Mile could trigger a revival. |

Goes well on both Newmarket courses, including a win in this race on good to firm two years ago; good third over C&D last month but behind Yes I'm Mali when only sixth back here a fortnight ago. |

|
6th 8 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
His last three wins have come off a similar mark to today's over 6f on the Newmarket courses and he returned to form with a close third here (7f, good) a fortnight ago; every chance he'll be in the mix. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 9 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Dual course winner who started the season high in the weights, having closed out last year with a victory on the Rowley Mile, and has struggled; does most racing these days over 6f and needs a revival. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |
11/2 |
|
2 (9) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Six-time winner who went close here (5f, heavy) in September; yet to get going this term but there is the slightest suspicion he's potentially running into form; attractively handicapped and not completely dismissed at likely rewarding odds. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile regards ground; six wins include two here (7f/5f) and he was second in this race last year; yet to get going this term but there was the faintest hint he might be on the way back at Chester (5f) last time and maybe the return to this trip can help; mark fine. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |

Good spell culminated in an October double; form has dipped sharply since and he is due a 2lb drop in future; close second in sole C&D attempt but this is harder and doesn't look as if he's about to add to his tally. |

9st 13lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs; ran respectably back at Leicester last time but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of heavy-ground wins at Doncaster (7f); better form in defeat this year, placed in good C&D handicaps (good ground) in consecutive days last month; has won on fast ground and his connections took this race in 2024; needs serious consideration. |
6/1 |
|
4th 13 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
There's a suspicion he might ideally need slow ground to produce his best form at 7f, especially here, but he began this season in good form (1m/7.5f, good to soft/good) and there was some mitigation when down the field at Newbury on penultimate start (1m, good; denied clear run); went close over C&D (good) on Friday; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (14) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; started this season with good thirds at Doncaster (22-runner Spring Mile; good to soft) and Chester (7.6f, good) but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Newbury last time; any easing of the ground would be in his favour; connections have tasted recent success in this. |
