Racing TV Handicap

Has recorded all 4 wins on the all-weather at Newcastle but produced best turf effort when second of 11 at Ascot in May. Couldn't repeat that at the Royal meeting the following month but can bounce back dropped in grade.

Goes well on the straight track at Ascot and proved at least as good ever when getting off the mark for the year in 11-runner handicap there (1m, good to firm) 20 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Only 2 lb higher here and makes the shortlist.

Largely struggled since going 2-2 in useful juvenile season but has seemingly turned a corner in 2 starts for this yard having eased in the weights. Drops in grade and would ideally be suited by a well-run race.

Successful from a 2 lb higher mark at Sandown (7f, soft) last summer and posted easily his best effort of present campaign when fifth at Chester (7.5f) in May. Looks worthy of another crack at 1m on balance and he's not out of things.

Hold-up type who was well positioned when winning comfortably on the Rowley Mile (1m) in May. Best effort since when 5¼ lengths third in a race run to suit over C&D. Beaten less than 2 lengths when seventh of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good) 13 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Stripped fitter for his reappearance when winning 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m, good) by a neck from Helm Rock in May. Ran just as well when fifth in a higher grade at Epsom the following month. Each-way claims.

Went through a good spell earlier in the season, getting off the mark at Windsor and following up at York before beaten a neck when second at Epsom upped in grade. Shaped as if still in form on last 2 starts but the handicapper has probably now caught up with him.

Smart handicapper for the Crisfords in 2023, successful over 1m prior to an excellent second in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Missed almost 3 years subsequently and stopped the slide from a falling mark for new yard when third at Thirsk just under 2 weeks ago.

Proved his mark wasn't as stiff as initially feared when winning 5-runner handicap at Sandown (1m, good) 16 days ago, having run of the race. Will need further improvement to defy a 4 lb higher mark, though.

Is on a long losing run but was placed 6 times in 2025 and ran best race this season when third of 8 in handicap at Ascot last month. Followed that with a below-par effort over C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago. Is now 1 lb below last winning mark but may still prove vulnerable for win purposes.
