18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has gained all wins on Newcastle AW, the most recent on finals day last year; however, ran well at Ascot (1m, good to firm) returned to turf last time, taking form figures in this sphere to 3232; seems effective over 7f and may remain competitive. |

9st 1lb |
8yo who hasn't been at the top of his game this season (twice here); however, he took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 13 to Asmen Warrior at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last time and he may be able to build on it back at a track where he had a good record last season. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Commenced career with two wins, including Listed; 0-6 and patchy form-wise since but proved resurgent in York handicap (1m; debut for new stable) most recently and is interesting off current mark assuming he builds on that effort. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Respectable seventh in the Dante here in May 2025 and he's one to watch in the betting back down in trip starting out for another new yard (remains in same ownership); however, he's very much struggled since the Dante and arrives with plenty to prove. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Never involved back on turf at Newmarket last month; however, he returned with two respectable efforts on AW prior to that and the fact he's dipped to 1lb below the mark he defied at Sandown (7f, soft) last summer and was runner-up at this meeting last year make him a dangerous one to discount. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Heavy-ground winner of a Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m) last July and he had dipped below that winning mark when scoring at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last time; 2lb nudge shouldn't stop him being competitive. |

1st 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; won off 1lb higher at Goodwood (1m) last July but has mixed record since and was beaten 11l in the Spring Mile on his reappearance in March; this is a big drop back in grade but he's now 1-11 in handicaps and others are more convincing. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
He has taken it up a notch this season, winning at Windsor (1m, good to firm; made most) in May and beating 21 others under a penalty at York (7f, good) eight days later; fine second to Colombier at Epsom next time and his latest fifth in valuable Curragh handicap (1m) was respectable; has to be of interest again. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Progressive British raider arrives in excellent form; notched up successive handicap wins at Windsor (1m, gd-fm) and York (7f, good) and another fine effort on latest at Epsom (7f, gd-sft) when a neck runner-up off 85; 5lb higher here so will need to improve again but that's not impossible; top rider booked. |

Well handicapped on his form up to June 2023 but he was then absent until this season and hasn't been the force of old on his three runs in 2026. |

Top handicap form for the Crisfords in 2023, including at York; absent for 1038 days prior to his Haydock return in April and duly well beaten; better run here at the Dante meeting and he should be at concert pitch now. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Bettered low-key debut when narrow winner of Chepstow maiden (7f, good to firm) in May but was last of four on recent handicap/AW debut; remains lightly raced and might be happier back on turf but others appeal more. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Hooded all starts; won a Chepstow maiden (7f, good) in May on second outing and similar form when second in a Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) last time; better is needed on this handicap/AW debut but early days. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in three of his four starts here, including when third in this race last year; after a poor start to this term he showed more three weeks ago and has dropped 4lb since; not ruled out despite the losing run racking up. |
7/1 |
Betting Forcast
13/2 Storm Star, 7/2 Hickory, 8/1 Tuscan Hills, 9/1 God Of War, 12/1 Sterling Knight, 6/1 Principality, 12/1 Zarathos, 13/2 Croupier, 9/2 Brocklesby Bill, 14/1 Mythical Guest
Verdict
This looks wide open but it might be worth siding with CROUPIER, who was an eye-catching third in a big field at Thirsk two weeks ago and remains well treated on his old form including three wins over this trip. Hickory produced a strong late thrust when winning a Class 2 at Ascot last month and he’s feared most ahead of the unexposed Brocklesby Bill, who made it 2-5 when making all at Sandown last time. Storm Star has possibilities back up in trip and down in grade, while Principality and Tuscan Hills are also on the shortlist.[David Moon]
