11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
12lb lower than for his win in the Great St Wilfrid last August (6f, good to firm); mixed bag in 2026 but he is the type to pop up soon, albeit probably over a shorter trip. |
16/1 |

8th 11 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice last autumn and latest was over C&D; 0-10 since that last success but she's been placed twice over C&D and didn't get any luck when favourite here (fifth of nine) last Monday; could be a big factor if she gets the breaks this time and she's in the mix off a dangerous mark; blinkers removed. |

C&D winner last October; 0-8 this year but there have been some good runs along the way, including over C&D in July; well beaten on turf last time but can do better now dropped into a Class 5 with blinkers tried. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Low-mileage 4yo who is holding his form well in handicaps, third of nine at Chelmsford (7f) in October; needs considering after a break. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

6f winner who still has low mileage and a generally consistent record; close second upped to 7f on Lingfield AW most recently; unexposed over this trip; highly respected. |

|
7 (2) |
12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 6f AW maiden at Chelmsford in February; some fair handicap runs since and, as he was picking up nicely late on in a recent Racing League race on Wolverhampton AW, he looks worth a go at 7f; can be involved. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |

4th 5 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to back up the form of his February win last time, kept to 7f on AW; multiple sprint winner on turf and made the frame in last four attempts in this sphere; solid. |

Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear. |

Went close off this mark over C&D in November; good run at Kempton on his penultimate start and he will find this more manageable than the hot Kempton handicap he contested on Friday; respected. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Two-time C&D winner; has been competitive off this sort of mark in recent months, beaten two noses into third over C&D 24 days ago (blinkered first time); up in class but likely to give it another good go. |

10st 0lb |
Not the force of old but won over C&D (good) off 2lb higher in April and last week's second at Epsom (6f, good to firm) confirms he's back in form; bold show likely. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Not the force of old but won off 2lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) in April and beat his group when fifth overall in 14-runner Ayr handicap (6f, soft) last month; also suited by fast ground; can make his presence felt. |
7/2 |
|
5th 7 (10) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Three-time C&D winner; successful at Catterick (6f, good) in April but held in more competitive races since; not handicapped out of things but might prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a lowly mark at Southwell in December and he has flourished since, adding two more AW wins over the winter and going in again at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month; second in two fast-ground handicaps since; should remain competitive but this test will be sharp enough. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his third success of the season when winning at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month and he was a good second of ten at Windsor (6f, good to firm) six days ago; steps back up to 7f with solid claims. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a third win of the season in 6f Salisbury handicap 18 days ago, just holding on; this reliable sort can make his presence felt again nudged up 2lb. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 4-8 on turf when scoring at Haydock (6f, good) last July but she's lost her way in three subsequent runs; had an excuse on soft ground on her Lingfield reappearance two weeks ago but this is competitive and she needs a big turnaround. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced on ground softer than good; absent since an excusable effort (hampered start, poorly positioned) last August; 4-9 on turf and 1-1 over C&D; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Progressive last year for Rae Guest (C&D winner) and won at Haydock (6f, good) last month on third start for this yard, for which she deserves extra credit having had to switch around runners; soundly beaten on AW since but has never shone on that surface; she's one to consider now back on turf. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
In fine form last summer, culminating in her Portland win off a 2lb higher mark; slow to come to hand this year but much better dropped back to Class 4 company on her last two starts; this is tougher than the fillies' handicap in which she finished second last week but she is a major player all the same. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Progressed well once handicapping as a 4yo and kicked on again last season, landing a hat-trick in late summer, latterly here off 2lb higher; not at her best in the spring but this is her time of year and she offered more latest; respected. |
9/4 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Got on a roll in the second half of 2025, completing a quick hat-trick when landing the Portland Handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good) in September; yet to get going this year and drop in class isn't enough to tempt. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb. |

Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time. |
3/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific AW winner; off the mark on turf with a last-gasp success at Goodwood (5f, good) last month; would have finished hot on the heels of Moulin Booj at Windsor last time but for meeting late interference; in the mix again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Multiple AW winner; quirky sort who often starts slowly but he finally got off the mark (in a change of headgear) on turf in 5f Goodwood handicap last month; up 3lb but he can make his presence felt again. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick. |
16/1 |

2 (6) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par on his last four starts, but Catterick (5f, good) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction and he won there (6f, good to soft) in July on his last encounter with slow ground; not ruled out. |
10/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

9st 12lb |
All three wins have been on AW and latest was at Chelmsford (6f) in January; now 4lb lower than for that success but he's been tailed off in last two runs (turf/Tapeta) and needs a major revival. |

13th 7 (8) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Better on AW than turf and wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Ascot run (reportedly unsuited by the fast ground); 2lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in January (6f); not discounted. |
16/1 |

12 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times on AW over the winter and now back to the last winning mark; more to prove on turf though and others have greater potential. |
