10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two 6f wins last year and registered a third when coming out on top in a good tussle at Yarmouth (good to firm) in late May; up to this grade and caught a little wide when last of seven at Salisbury ten days ago, however. |

Narrowly beat a subsequent scorer (pair clear) at Yarmouth last time, taking his record over 6f to 3-6; may be capable of further progress kept to this distance; respected. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and was only beaten a head here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago with a yawning gap back to the rest; 4lb rise not the end of the world and good to soft ground wouldn't be a problem, but another furlong may have been preferable. |

2nd 9 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player. |

4th 18 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Off the mark in a 6f handicap at Southwell last month; finished behind Dicko The Legend when fifth back at Southwell ten days ago; improvement essential but the booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four-time AW winner but he's 0-7 on turf and has been well held back in this sphere in three runs after wind surgery; mark continues to fall but he needs to significantly raise his game back up in trip. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins and best form has been on the AW over 6f; third over that far at Yarmouth last time but was comfortably held; back at 5f from a high draw, he looks up against it. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW starts this year and he had been given a wind op before weakening on his return to turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; nothing wrong with this mark and he drops in grade but the jury's out at the moment. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five AW wins, the latest from the front off 2lb lower at Newcastle (6f) in February; well below that form on turf lately but still worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
8th 3 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Only turf win came off a much lower mark more than two years ago and he remains weighted to his AW best after a couple of no-shows at Yarmouth last month; some way down the pecking order. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C&D winner can stage a revival. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |
9/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in April off 2lb lower; well held at Yarmouth on his last two starts but has an excuse three weeks ago (reared leaving the stalls); returning to the AW could suit. |
11/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come over 6f on the AW including two in April; handles turf, but he has a fair bit to find with Neyva's Angel on their meeting here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; he too may be better over further. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today. |
22/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 6f maiden here in April but she struggled in handicaps on her next two outings; however, she ran well when second of eight over this C&D last week (good to firm) and has solid claims on that form. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Maiden win here (6f) on comeback in the spring, when 50-1, reads well enough; she's struggled badly in two handicaps since, however, and will need to settle better back up from sprint trips; has it all to prove now. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made a proper splash when going in at 50-1 on her reappearance in C&D maiden (good; third start) in April but contrasting fortunes when beaten 18l on her handicap debut at Newmarket 12 days ago; that was too bad to be true but does lower expectations somewhat. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sole success came at Lingfield last September off 1lb higher; has ran well in three of his six runs this year, latest when third of five over 5f here last week (first-time cheekpieces, retained); not far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well for second over 6f here in April; two heavy defeats followed and although he ran a bit better at Lingfield last time, he was over 2l behind Shalaa Asker; now tried in another new form of headgear. |
11/4 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden; two poor efforts of late, with and without a hood, but he ran well for a long way behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and is worth another go at 5f; first-time blinkers today. |
