Hasn't won since July 2023 and showed little on return from 12 months off when eighth of 9 at Windsor on sole start in 2025. Impossible to fancy after further 410 days off.
|
Won a handicap over 11f here on all-weather debut in June. 6 lb higher mark to contend with upped further in trip but some of his form is solid and he's respected.
|
As consistent as they come which means the handicapper has a good handle on him but he has won at this track previously so he's sure to be there or thereabouts once more.
|
Won a maiden at this track in March and then ran well when fourth in listed company at Goodwood in May. Not so good last time but started slowly and could do better back at this track if breaking on terms.
|
Returned from hurdles to bring up a hat-trick on the Flat in handicap at Southwell last time. Clearly much better suited by this sphere and slightly longer trip will suit so he's likely to prove competitive upped in grade.
|
Won over this trip at Lingfield in April and beaten a nose there soon after. Tailed off at this track in May but something was presumably amiss that day and likely to be closer to form having been freshened up since.
|
Two best efforts to date have come on all-weather, winning on debut in September and then second over C&D in March. Struggled in handicaps on turf last 2 starts but is in good hands and the return to this surface after a break could be key.
|
Well-bred colt who improved to win 1½m novice at Southwell 16 days ago, relishing the increased emphasis on stamina. Now makes handicap debut up against older rivals and has scope for plenty more progress so he's going to prove tough to beat.
|
Dual winner in France. Made a tentative return from 27-month absence when sixth of 7 at Chester 18 days ago. Dropped 3 lb but still has plenty to prove.
|
Won at Kempton over 11f in May on first run for current connections. Only eighth of 9 at Goodwood in June but raced freely with cheekpieces back on that day and is much better on all-weather. This is a better race than he need contest, however.
|
Much better on all-weather than turf and has scored 3 times in last 6 starts on the surface. Creditable fourth of 9 over 2m here 35 days ago but is up in grade now and also drops back in trip.
|
Won here in 2023 for Roger Varian but off nearly 3 years after that and finished tailed off in a handicap at this track 44 days ago on first run for new stable so can't be fancied.

Forecasts
Kokbastau (11/10), Bulletin (3/1), Forever Penywern (11/2), Classical Allusion (11/2), The Green Mile (13/2), Dust Cover (16/1), Son Of Man (28/1), Galaxy Star (40/1), Must Believe (50/1), Cumulonimbus (100/1), Duc De Kent (150/1), Mathematician (150/1)
KOKBASTAU is lightly raced with just 3 runs to his name and is really well bred so looks just the type to go on improving now handicapping up against much more exposed rivals. The Green Mile scored here last time and should be a player from 6 lb higher, while Bulletin never runs a bad race.
