4th 8 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 this season but he's been bubbling under, and he'd have gone close to winning at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday but for being badly hampered inside the final 1f; dangerous if he's fully recovered from that. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form this season but last two efforts creditable and the way his challenge petered out late on over 1m at Ascot a fortnight ago suggests this return to 7f could prove ideal. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Maiden and novice winner who is yet to win a handicap but he finished a creditable third at Newbury (7f) last month and ran to a similar level when runner-up here (7.6f, good to firm) last time; should go well again off the same mark and he's still unexposed on AW. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in April; reached the frame in next two starts but his form nosedived in a big field at Ascot (last of 16) last time; has a bit to prove after that but this is a big drop back in grade and he's a player if he can bounce back. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Easy win at Lingfield (7f, good) on debut before pitched into Group 2 company for his second start; unsurprisingly came up short there but he was quickly back on track when defying a penalty at Southwell (7f) last October; bred to stay 1m and there should be more to come this year. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Far too strong for his rivals when winning a 7f maiden at Lingfield (good ground) on his debut in August; tailed off at Doncaster three weeks ago but that was a Group 2 on soft ground; still has potential and he is back in calmer waters today. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins include one here (1m) in April off a 2lb lower mark; below that level on turf in two starts since and drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut, which would be a concern. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins this year came on the AW, but his sole turf win came over this trip on good to firm ground; may be best to forgive his latest Chester performance and a possible if back on song. |
10/1 |
