9st 10lb |
Caused a surprise at 50-1 when winning the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March; that was a personal best but he's not hit the same level since and slow starts have been an issue; has form at this trip and now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off a similar mark in this race for Charlie Hills last year; made a good start for new yard when third at Hamilton (1m1f) last month and he had another close call at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; usually races prominently and another bold bid is expected. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice for Charles Hills, including 1m2f on fast ground, and he ran well on his stable/seasonal debut at Hamilton last month (1m1f, good to firm), beaten around half a length into third (strong favourite); has races in him off this sort of mark but he could face competition for the lead here. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Snapped a long losing run and capitalised on a reduced mark over 10.4f here (good) a fortnight ago; enjoyed the run of the race in front and it might be the case this longer trip stretches him nowadays, but he did it nicely last time and remains well treated on old form back up 6lb; not discounted. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Chester speciliast, who has not won since September 2023 and he's faded back at his favoured track in two runs this season (1m2f/1m4f); was only beaten around 3l last time but losing run is now up to 17 and others are preferred; visor back on. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Faded into seventh of 14 over the extended 1m2f here earlier in the month but he did have to use up energy to obtain a prominent position from a wide stall; has a very good overall Chester record (four wins and three seconds from nine visits) and capable of bouncing back in what looks a slightly easier race. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced as 2yo but had form figures of 313 in maiden/novice events at Kempton (1m, AW) last season; never involved on handicap/seasonal debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) but she made some promising late headway and wasn't beaten far; should be sharper this time and she still has untapped potential. |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Built upon debut promise when winning 1m Kempton maiden in September and her subsequent third over that C&D was perfectly respectable; makes handicap debut after 230-day absence and is not bred to benefit from the step up in trip but she's an unexposed filly from a top stable. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Well-backed favourite and he didn't get much luck here (1m2f; close fourth) on his seasonal return in April; well-held fifth of 14 at Newbury last time but he now drops back in grade and is a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form; best efforts have been on good/good to firm. |

16th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Good fifth in the London Gold Cup over C&D a year ago, on the back of maiden/novice wins; no further progress since but ran very encouragingly when favourite at Haydock (1m2f, good) on reappearance, finishing a close fourth despite traffic issues; respected off unaltered mark. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Versatile ground-wise and he's only 1lb higher than for his Newbury win (1m2f) last summer; had some ups and downs since then but his latest third at Windsor was a good effort (11.4f) and has claims if he can back that up. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

All four wins have been at shorter trips but he has form at 1m4f and is generally reliable; wasn't beaten far here on his reappearance three weeks ago and he's now only 1lb higher than for his Newbury win (1m2f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous back up in trip. |

Ex-French; record of 1-19 Britain; did run well when second at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) last month but finished last of eight at Haydock last weekend. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-French; record of 1-18 Britain but the win came off a similar mark and he ran well to finish second at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) last month; this return to quicker ground is no problem and has each-way claims again. |

2nd 4 (12) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-17 since arriving in Britain but the win came off a similar mark and, with a run under his belt, he ran well at Chester until fading away over the extended 1m4f; this trip seems a better fit; best British form on good or faster but had easy-ground form in France. |

Six-race maiden who has been moving in the right direction on turf this season, good second at Haydock (1m2f) most recently; possibilities if proving as effective returned to AW (second attempt). |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Showed promise in three quick novice/maiden runs last summer; finished down the field in two handicaps this season but he rallied at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last time and wasn't far behind Bodorgan in that race; this unexposed 4yo should have more to offer and he's one to keep an eye on. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Showed promise in three quick novice/maiden runs last summer; gelded over the winter and raced as though his reappearance effort at Hamilton (behind a couple of these) would bring him on; bred to be better than this mark and he's unexposed. |
