27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence and tried in cheekpieces when beating just two in 5f handicap here five days ago; others are preferred. |
5/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Infrequent winner who's tried in a third form of headgear after a few recent runs over 6f (two here); handicapper has given him a chance, dropping him another 3lb, but the cheekpieces will need to make a difference. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In good form for his new yard, faring best of those drawn low in the Epsom Dash last time back in the trademark cheekpieces; bit unlucky at Goodwood on his previous start too and remains on a fair mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
7th 17 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Trained by James Evans when winning this race in 2024 off a 5lb higher mark (good to soft); well beaten in it last year but he arrives in good form for his new stable, winning at Ripon in April and not enjoying the cleanest run when fourth at Goodwood 15 days ago; rain won't hurt his chance and he's of obvious interest. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two 6f wins last summer but things haven't gone to plan since, often compromising his chance at the start; last month's return to action at Leicester was promising, though, and he's almost certainly better than this mark should the stars align. |
9/2 |

3rd 11 (8) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Both 2yo wins at 6f on good to firm; had some surface and trip queries subsequently and gelded since; lacks a recent run but conditions will suit on reappearance. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that. |
3/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Eight-time winner, most recently Naas handicap over this trip in March (soft); safely held both starts since but closely matched with Gloriously Glam on C&D run on these better terms. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
His year started well when bustling up Saturday's Epsom "Dash" winner at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in April but his two runs last month didn't come close and he has the widest stall. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on reappearance but had no obvious excuses at Doncaster next time; more exposed than some of these and 6lb above his highest winning mark. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Three wins last year included one at Catterick (7f) and one off this mark (6f, good); absent five months and he will need to be at his best to make a winning return. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (11) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Beat the Portland winner in August (6f, good) but rather subdued since then and the usual blinkers are off, replaced by cheekpieces. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't look to see it out on his final two runs last year and 7f has again looked beyond him the past twice, off the back of a solid AW comeback off 2lb higher; today's stiff 6f should be more up his street and he's worth a second look. |
12/1 |

11th 1 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Proved his effectiveness over 7f when fifth of ten at Ascot (good ground) two weeks ago; others have more obvious potential but first-time cheekpieces could give him a boost. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs; ran respectably back at Leicester last time but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly over this C&D (good to firm) last month but his jockey reported he never travelled when fourth of nine under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good) 30 days ago; now 2lb higher but he can't be dismissed. |
13/2 |
