DISTANT RUMBLE had plenty to spare at Windsor and is selected to make light of a 7 lb rise, perhaps at the expense of the thriving Legendsoftheland. Rumble Ruby and Control Room are others capable of having a say.

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good, 5/1) 15 days ago, readily. Even a 7 lb rise may not stop him with Roger Teal continuing in excellent form.

Verdict
Thriving sort who has won 3 times this year, including C&D. Another excellent effort when second of 17 over C&D (good to soft) 16 days ago. Should go well again.

Consistent, front-running filly. Won a soft-ground Catterick maiden for Robert Cowell on final 2-y-o start. Has been running well in defeat for this yard, notably second of 10 at Sandown (5f, good to soft) last time.

Verdict
Kickstarted 2026 with a C&D win off 2 lb higher in April. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 32 days ago. Enters calculations back here.

Verdict
Gained breakthrough on turf at Goodwood (5f) in May. Runner-up twice since and rather out of his pay grade in a Newbury Class 3 last time. This is more his level.

Scored at Beverley and close third at Yarmouth (both 5f) in quick succession in August. Not in the same form on Kempton's all-weather since but her turf record is solid.

Verdict
Looked unlucky not to win when second of 4 at Chepstow last month, keeping on again after rider lost iron briefly last ½f. Stumbled leaving stalls when respectable fourth at Ffos Las next time and may have simply failed to handle soft ground when well held at Salisbury latest.

Verdict
Confirmed debut promise at second time of asking when winning a 7f Chepstow maiden but no show in handicaps since. First-time cheekpieces and a return to sprinting need to spark a revival.
