Useful form when winning back-to-back on all-weather early this year and was somewhat unlucky not to score at Chester in June. Looked rusty in the Portland after 3 months off 7 weeks ago and better expected now.

A 3-time 5f/6f winner in 2025. Yet to fire this year but this represents a marked drop in class and he took well to this surface early on in his career.

Enjoyed a fine 2025, scoring twice before a neck second in Ayr Gold Cup. Has failed to hit those heights this year after a couple of breathing operations, however, down the field in the Ayr Silver Cup 6 weeks ago.

Promise on turf debut before wide-margin all-weather wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton 5 months apart. Didn't look straightforward when down the field in a couple of turf handicaps in the spring and has been off since, but drop back to sprinting could suit and has been subsequently gelded.

Won at Thirsk in July to end a long losing run and placed in slightly better races than this all 3 starts since. Makes a belated first start on all-weather.

In good form at Ascot this season, winning there off this mark in May before solid third in July. Shaped well back on all-weather and in a change of headgear (blinkers) when beaten under a length at Kempton last time, left poorly placed having been dropped out from a wide draw.

Another Abbott29
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: W J Haggas| OR:  89| D
Has taken form to another level this year, scoring at Yarmouth and Windsor. Good second at Yarmouth last month before turning in one of his occasional poor efforts at Ascot. Type to bounce back.

Much better horse on all-weather and he won off a similar mark at Newcastle in January. Holding his form well on turf this summer until unsuited by conditions latest.

Four-time winner for this yard before a winless spell with Ed Walker. Potentially well treated back with this stable so bounce back wouldn't surprise.

Debut winner at Ripon last summer. Hasn't tasted success since but he's threatening to come good soon, going close for the third start in a row at Wolverhampton on all-weather debut 12 days ago.

Both wins at Newcastle, including second handicap start in May. Caught the eye when fifth of 27 in Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot next time but his development has stalled since. Returns to all-weather after a break having had a gelding operation.

Suited by the drop back to sprinting when second off this mark at York this summer. Very disappointing since but no surprise if he bounces back starting out for a stable that is having an excellent season.

Forecasts

Kind Touch (7/2), Indian Run (9/2), Bolo Neighs (5/1), Purosangue (8/1), Atomic Force (8/1), The Caltonian (14/1), So Darn Hot (14/1), Another Abbot (14/1), Desert Falcon (16/1), Caballo Grande (16/1), Novello Lad (20/1), Starmade (20/1), Evening Blues (20/1), Hammer The Hammer (25/1)

Verdict

It could be worth chancing HAMMER THE HAMMER, who often keeps much better company and the return to all-weather may rekindle him. This does look competitive, though, with Bolo Neighs and Kind Touch heading the dangers.
