10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
6-24 on AW but 0-12 on turf; recent efforts have been underwhelming and he's probably better suited by 1m4f; not the percentage call. |
20/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Six-time AW winner but he's 0-11 on turf and has struggled at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) and Hamilton (1m5f, good) in last two runs; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he has plenty to prove back at this trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Good third over 1m4f on Kempton AW in March and again ran well when filling the same position at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; a case can be made on those efforts but subsequent evidence suggests he's gone off the boil. |
12/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time winner who has been operating close to his best in defeat this year but not last time at Epsom when in first-time cheekpieces; even if back on song, others are more intriguing. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers have been added and latest was over 7f here (good) in May; well held in his last two runs (1m2f/1m) but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and is well drawn back at this trip; not ruled out. |
12/1 |

10th 2 (16) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers were added (7f/1m), most recently over 7f at Chester last month off 3lb lower; didn't get home there over 1m2f (good to soft) 11 days ago but should be happier back at this trip. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
French turf/AW winner (7.5f/1m2f) early in 2023; largely struggled on turf in Bahrain over the winter and although there have been better signs on British AW when an outsider in his two runs since, he still needs to build on that; unraced beyond 1m4f. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse last year, including this race on good to firm; hasn't seriously threatened back on the Flat for current yard and it remains to be seen whether a return to York sparks a full-scale revival. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (10) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse on a sound surface but he finished well adrift on his reappearance and first start since wind surgery at Nottingham in April; much more competitive when fifth of 15 at Chester (12.5f, good) one month later; was well drawn that day but it's still early days for this yard. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 1m scorer for Andrew Balding in 2024; off 22 months but quickly back on track with second of ten in 1m2f handicap at Ayr 11 days ago; needs considering off an unchanged mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Scored over 1m for Andrew Balding in 2024; off 22 months and came in last of 16 for his new yard in 1m1f York handicap 22 days ago; blinkers replace usual visor now. |
