10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Multiple winner, mostly at about 2m and is 1lb higher than when scoring over C&D in March; matched that effort back here next time, before a below-par effort on soft at Haydock latest; will be a player if bouncing back. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |

Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Had a good year on the Flat and over hurdles, and ran well back from a break to finish second to Personal Best at Sandown; however, he failed to back that up in a big way when tailed off at Kempton; goes on all ground. |
20/1 |

10th 8 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive year over hurdles and on the Flat, last time returning from a break and boxing on for second at Sandown (1m6f); he was bang there over C&D the time before; solid chance. |
9/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
In good form over hurdles and on the Flat earlier this year, last time going close in a 2m AW handicap off 1lb lower; if in the same form after his break then should be involved. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present. |

10th 6 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June, after which he changed hands for 19,000gns; rain would be a bonus but he did trail home last at Hamilton only last week (1m5f) and has a good bit to prove at 1m. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner over 2m in October 2024 but her last three wins have been at Windsor over 11.5f; well held in three starts this year, albeit she wasn't helped by being caught wide at Lingfield last month. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time winner, with four at Windsor (11.4f) and two on Polytrack (1m2f/2m); her last success was off 2lb higher last autumn but she's been disappointing in last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
1-14 on the Flat, the win coming over about 1m3f at Yarmouth (good; fair form) in April; beaten 14l into second in a six-runner maiden hurdle at Huntingdon a month ago; likely to need more here. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Odds-on winner over nearly 1m4f at Yarmouth (good) last month and ran okay on faster ground at Leicester (both runs in a visor); he's been found a very winnable race for his hurdle debut. |
