2nd 5 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won three-runner contest at Kelso (2m7f, good) in May and is still on a workable mark but never really got competitive in last month's Perth Gold Cup and needs to put that run behind him. |
8/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 5-12 over fences when readily taking care of two rivals over a similar trip at Kelso a month ago (good; made most); only 3lb higher but without Jack Power's 5lb claim, so at this level he's probably in need of his best form yet. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won four handicaps on the trot two seasons ago (2m-2m5f, good to soft/soft); hasn't won since but was beaten only by a nose over C&D on good last time; contender. |

3rd 7 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Exploited much-reduced mark over C&D (good) in April and finished second over C&D on both subsequent appearances (good to soft/good) but is no longer the force of old and others in this field have more appealing profiles. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Generally disappointing since winning valuable marathon in February 2024 but won off much-reduced mark over C&D (good) in April and also ran well when second behind a progressive rival here last month; considered. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Has modest 2-30 strike-rate under rules but kept on well for second at Aintree (2m4f, good) in May and has now filled that position twice since his wind operation in March; could plausibly still have untapped potential over 3m; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |

4 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has a modest strike rate of 2-30 but ran his best race over fences when beaten a neck at Aintree (2m4f, good) five weeks ago (with Genois pulled up); holds claims if able to build on that run off 1lb higher. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Back from wind surgery he bumped into one well handicapped at Bangor (2m4f, good) and it was a strong race in which he struggled at Haydock; he's no forlorn hope on that penultimate effort. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f; bumped into progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) two starts ago and travelled well until stamina ebbed away over 3m at Perth last month; remains on a workable mark; can make his presence felt. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f (one here); no match for progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good; first run after wind surgery) last month but that was still a good effort; a possible if suited by this new trip. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Weakened out of contention at Aintree last month but this race is a bit easier and he's now only 3lb higher than when keeping on well to beat Glory And Honour at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in April; also suited by 2m and might be aided by recent wind surgery; enters calculations. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Gained all seven chase wins at the track, the latest a dead-heat over this trip in April (good ground); on fairly tough mark now but last month's Perth Gold Cup fourth was respectable and he probably won't be far away. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Seeking a hat-trick in this race and on the back of a seventh course success in April when he dead-heated over this trip; not handicapped out of it after just a 3lb rise, for all that he's never defied this high a mark in the past. |
13/2 |

1st 3 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who was runner-up in this race last year (good to soft); has since gained two C&D wins on good ground, latest in September; has plenty going for him; leading contender. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Four-time C&D winner; returned from break with two low-key runs this spring (hurdle/chase) but may have been aided by refitted cheekpieces when running big race in defeat here (2m4f, good) ten days ago; up in grade today but still on a good mark and this return to 3m is sure to suit. |

2nd 1 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Veteran who has won six chases, three over C&D on good/heavy, all in September; has shaped as though needing the race when below par in two runs this year (first was over hurdles); could go well. |
3/1 |

4th 4 |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran who gained four of his six chase wins over C&D and is versatile regarding ground; well beaten when 50-1 for 2m4f hurdle here last month, after a layoff, but that was also the case before he bounced back to form and finished second in this race a year ago; can't be ignored. |
