27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and was a solid second over C&D in March; blew the start but ran respectably when fourth on turf at Chester a fortnight ago and he's handicapped to be competitive again. |

Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes. |

Ended his 2025 campaign with a pair of 1m4f wins in Scotland on good to soft/soft; well below par in three comeback outings this spring and sold out of Iain Jardine's yard for £3,500 last month; all turf starts on good or softer; a watching brief is advised. |

Ended his 2025 campaign with a pair of 1m4f wins, the first of them here and by a wide margin; two heavy defeats this spring but he's the type to pop up soon, perhaps when faced with some slower ground. |

Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off. |

Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times including over C&D; opened hurdling account in May and he had an excuse on slow ground when returned to the Flat at Hamilton in June; now drops back in grade after a break and he needs a close look returned to AW. |

Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

Runner-up to Golspie over C&D and then did well (fourth) from a poor track position at Southwell, before things slotted neatly into place for a cosy 12.5f win here (7-4 favourite; from 3lb lower) 11 days ago; given a decent gallop to aim at, should be there or thereabouts. |

Struggled over 1m at Southwell last month but relished the step back up in trip when winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still fairly treated on his old form off this 3lb higher mark and has claims. |

1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |

Beaten 11l when fifth in a maiden hurdle at Hereford three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for his win at Chepstow (1m4f, good) last May but will likely find this trip on the sharp side on his switch back to the Flat (all wins over 1m2f or further). |

Won this race last year (good to firm) in good style and has a 1lb lower mark today; 2026 build-up has been far less auspicious than last season's, however, and the first-time visor of latest start is now replaced with a first-time tongue-tie. |
