26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran away with a Southwell handicap (1m6f, AW) last October; second twice there (2m/1m6f) this April and he wasn't beaten far when making the running on good to firm at Yarmouth (1m6f) eight days ago, albeit coming last in a three-runner race; chance if he takes to the first-time headgear. |

9st 8lb |
Ran away with a Southwell handicap over this trip last October; second in two of his three starts this year (both AW) but he was a bit disappointing over C&D last month; dropped 4lb but he has more to prove on turf. |

Multiple winner but an 8yo now and hasn't been remotely threatening in last four races. |

Multiple winner; narrowly beaten on yard debut at Lingfield in March (1m2f AW) but this 8yo's form has cooled. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Enjoyed a good summer in 2025 when bagging a hat-trick; comes here on the back of a good second of 8 to Oasis Sunrise at Chepstow (1m4f) last time so must enter calculations. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three consecutive times in refitted blinkers last June/July, most recently off today's mark over C&D (good to firm), but made a low-key reappearance three weeks ago and needs that run to have brought him on. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up on stable debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in February but unable to get competitive since and needs something extra today. |
33/1 |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive gelding who's lacked consistency of late, including in two forms of headgear; having a first crack at beyond 1m4f and needs to improve for the stiffer test. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained sole victory at Leicester (1m2f) last June and back in good form of late, beaten a neck when runner-up in 1m4f Leicester handicap two weeks ago; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb in a headgear change. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1m2f winner here; back on track with this month's Bath third (1m3f, good) off 1lb higher; needs to back that up, having not been finishing his races off as well for a while previously, including behind Myna back here two starts ago. |
11/2 |
Betting Forcast
5/4 Betelgeuse, 8/1 Joanna Hiffernan, 20/1 Lennys Spirit, 8/1 Trojan Truth, 20/1 Spec Of Light, 9/2 Ottoman
Verdict
This is a step down in class, as well as trip, for BETELGEUSE (nap) whose only other foray in Class 6 was last October for his only win. Dual C&D winner Trojan Truth looks the chief threat, ahead of Ottoman whose two best results have been at this track.[Richard Austen]
