8st 10lb |
One turf win from 15 attempts, in a four-runner race at Chepstow (5f) last July; two fair C&D runs since returned to turf in May and was out on a limb when finishing sixth to Another Abbot and Sudden Flight 14 days ago; however, he'll do well to win at this level off his current mark. |

9st 6lb |
A fair 6f/7f scorer in 2024; quite lightly raced since but back to form with sixth of 11 in 7.5f Beverley handicap three weeks ago; not out of things with this shorter trip a plus. |

9st 7lb |
Ayr Bronze Cup winner in 2024 who also posted some good efforts without winning in 2025; beat one on his return in 7f Haydock handicap after nine months off but he should strip sharper now. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |

Scored at Wolverhampton (6f) in January and largely in good nick since, challenging wide when sixth of ten in another 6f handicap there last time; can make his presence felt. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Only 3lb higher than for January's C&D win and has continued to run well; 6f specialist with a solid chance, despite stall 10. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Likes soft ground, on which he was a close second (clear of rest) at Lingfield in June and that was after a break of 72 days; a wet day would make him interesting. |

2nd 2 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Tim Easterby with two good efforts in the spring and made winning stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; will be fine back on turf and could still have more to offer for new stable; major player. |
7/4 |

1st 12 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Expensive to follow this season, having missed ten months, for Tim Easterby; run well on Tapeta before and a couple of times in a visor too, so it wouldn't surprise were to to take this in first-time cheekpieces. |

Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent during the AW season and made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance when midfield over C&D (soft) last month; on another career-low mark today but needs that recent run to have brought him on. |
20/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two course wins as a 2yo, including a Listed success over 5f; last year's two wins came on AW but he is down in the weights ahead of this return to action and his course record means he can't be ruled out. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (6f) in June but below par in big-field 6f handicaps at York on his last two runs; this course scorer needs to bounce back on a rare run over 7f. |
9/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Run of in-frame efforts came to an end here two weeks ago but he still ran with more promise than his finishing position suggests; still likely vulnerable at this level. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took a while to exploit his drop in the weights but he won at Doncaster in July and went in again at Southwell nine days ago; 4lb higher in a better race but he has the rail draw to help. |
14/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) last month and runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) next time, splitting a well-treated winner and a next-time-out scorer; well beaten at York last time but was scuppered by a high draw; third over C&D in April and could be involved. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but has returned from a break with three down-the-field turf runs, the latest here (6f, good to firm) eight days ago. |
33/1 |
|
11th 6 (12) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rattled off a seven-timer on the AW earlier this year; rated lower on turf but he's failed to beat a rival at Chester (5f, good) in his last two starts and is now 1-15 on grass; opposable. |
40/1 |
Betting Forcast
6/1 Moving Force, 10/1 Star Chorus, 12/1 Diligent Resdev, 5/1 Kirkdale, 10/1 Papa Cocktail, 12/1 Tyger Bay, 3/1 Modern Times, 7/1 Flowstate, 16/1 Prince Of Pillo, 16/1 Rock Opera, 12/1 Dorney Lake, 20/1 Beauzon
Verdict
This can go to MODERN TIMES, who is 2-2 for his new stable since fitted with cheekpieces and may still have a bigger run in him. The other hat-trick seeker Kirkdale has fitness to prove after his break, while Star Chorus is drawn wide for this AW return and Moving Force is unreliable. Therefore, largely consistent 7yo Papa Cocktail is nominated as second choice. Prince Of Pillo needs to leave his recent turf form behind but has slipped to a dangerous mark and will be feared if strong in the betting.[Chris Wilson]
