11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Always tended to be hot and cold in the past, so disappointing he didn't fare better at Lingfield (AW) latest given a decent record there; not a lot of wiggle room off this mark and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore blinkers twice as a 2yo). |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins and a close second to his name in four runs over C&D; tended to be hot and cold in the past, twice winning back-to-back, which bodes well after bouncing back off 4lb lower at Yarmouth last time; goes well for Luke Morris too. |

1st 6 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was beaten off only inside the final 1f at Lingfield last time; should make another bold bid but he's still 4lb higher than when making all at Yarmouth in the spring. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who's drawn to attack and boasts a solid record over C&D; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, for a yard also responsible for Ziggy's Missile. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who was found an ordinary Yarmouth handicap when winning easily in the spring; handicapper had his say for that and he finished well beaten behind Dream Composer upped in class at Epsom last time; yard also runs Rhythm N Hooves. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Unplaced on last two starts but hasn't run badly and he's 4lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (good) in June; capable of having a big say. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Had a bit in hand when winning over C&D last month and was caught on the line over 6f here nine days ago (off this 3lb higher mark); has to go well again. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen. |
12/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All six wins for Stuart Williams came on the AW and he's never been as good on turf; handicapped accordingly and this is easier again for his new yard but he ran below par in one previous start here. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won three 5f AW handicaps in 2025, the latest off a 3lb higher mark; fair fourth at Chester last month and he should appreciate the return to AW; went close in one previous C&D run. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
10th 9 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |
Verdict
C&D winner Tan Rapido (second choice) is of interest back here following a break but GOLDEN LONG shaped encouragingly at Southwell on his stable debut and is selected to get off the mark in Britain. Almaty Star is a consistent sort and is also considered. [Harry March]
