25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
The winner of two of his three starts in 2026, notably a big-field Class 4 over C&D six weeks ago; 4lb higher in a stronger race and his draw may not be advantageous. |

1st 8 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Acts on good to firm and soft ground; won at Thirsk (6f, good) last spring and recorded his second AW win on his Southwell reappearance last month; up 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a good tow into this race; key player. |

10st 2lb |
Veteran who still retains most of his ability and gave a good account when keeping-on second of 21 at York (6f, good) last month; still only 1lb higher than for C&D (heavy) win in October and will be favoured by any rain. |

10yo who may prefer slow ground but the going was good when he was fourth of 21 in this in 2024; often runs well here and he reappeared with a creditable fourth of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March; each-way possible. |

Probably best at 5f and went down by only a head at Pontefract five weeks ago; had previously shaped well when fifth in a big field on this course; trainer has won this race three times in the last eight seasons and Johnny Burke looks a positive jockey booking. |

Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye. |

Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike. |
