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. |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Second to Golden Flame over C&D (good) before doing some hanging on fast ground at Nottingham; any rain would aid his chance. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious. |
7/4 |

2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Done a lot of his winning later in the year but offered more in the returning blinkers last time, back from a couple of months off; boasts a decent record when dipping below 0-70 company and won't mind any rain. |

Tailed off last time and was no match for the winners of her two previous races; has to raise his game. |

3rd 4 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Not as good this year and has looked to have no excuses in some ordinary handicaps of late; only 1lb lower than when well held over 1m6f here 12 days ago and Free World looks his trainer's best chance. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Four-time winner (all 1m4f on a sound surface) with three of those in blinkers, latterly at Catterick (good; made all) on his penultimate start; overdid it in the lead before beating one home at Goodwood 12 days ago but could bounce back; cheekpieces (second on all three attempts) are reapplied. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progress 4yo; won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April and added to that success at Catterick (1m4f, good) 29 days ago, making all under Poppy Scott; can't be dismissed off this 2lb higher mark. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Second on Chelmsford Polytrack in latest AW race; tremendous progress last year once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; improvement stalled at Newmarket in the Cesarewitch Trial and Cesarewitch itself on last two outings, but he remains of major interest on this return. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Tremendous progress once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; he was put in his place, improvement ending, when never-dangerous third to Reverend Hubert over C&D three weeks ago off revised mark, but he's able to race off 5lb lower today; considered. |
9/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Since sent handicapping in cheekpieces he's delivered form figures of 12111 and has looked seriously progressive since upped to 2m, again winning as he liked last time at Goodwood (good to firm); handicapper didn't hold back with a 10lb rise but that might not halt his progress. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Latest Flat start was his first win, by 7l in a four-runner race at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last August for Ollie Sangster; seven races over hurdles for new connections, winning two (2m5f/2m3f) of the last three; probably has a good mark, so needs a second look, but this is a step up in class. |
16/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Fair Flat racer who won easily over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in April, his second handicap; well beaten in valuable Fakenham contest since but back in calmer waters and on a more conventional track here; remains of interest, albeit the forecast rain may not be in his favour. |
