11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time. |

Ended a long losing sequence (on his yard debut) over C&D in May but comes here on the back of a below-form sixth at Newcastle (1m) last month; needs to get back on track. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive 8yo who returned from a break with two low-key runs (8.3f/7f) in June/July; should be fine over today's longer trip and is too well handicapped to rule out but needs to up his game. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple turf winner who is 1-19 on AW; perked up with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; may have needed his Nottingham reappearance last month but his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip and others are more convincing. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Tailed off on hurdle/yard debut last autumn but proved a different proposition after a break when successful back on the Flat at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May, pulling over 4l clear and posting his peak RPR; evidently capable when fresh so being off for a further three months isn't a concern but he'll require another career best off 7lb higher. |
4/1 |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Kempton (1m, AW) last July but he's been well held in last two Flat runs and was tailed off on his hurdling/stable debut in September; overall record is now 0-15 and has something to prove on his return. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
0-14 on the Flat but placed a few times, most recently when close second at Kempton (1m, AW; RPR 72) for John Gallagher in July; stamina might be an issue over hurdles but he joined a good stable for jumping career. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four C&D wins in 2024 (including a Class 5); unfortunate (hampered) not to justify market support when runner-up to Dinah Myte here in June; excuse - bled from nose - next time; recent Southwell run (fifth) should have him spot on for this. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
The last four of his five wins were over 1m on Newcastle Tapeta (hampered on sole start here); looked an unlucky loser at Newcastle on penultimate start but bled from the nose when a disappointing favourite there on latest; player if straight back to form. |

8th 3 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Four C&D wins; attracted market support and looked an unlucky loser, hitting the line strongly after being hampered at a crucial stage over C&D (100-30 favourite, beaten a head) three weeks ago; still fairly weighted after a small upward nudge; holds an obvious chance. |

On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid. |

9st 5lb |
Gained a first victory at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) last October and recorded a good second here in May; lightly raced since but nearest finish under a patient ride when seventh of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap last month; a player eased 1lb with underfoot conditions to suit. |

All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |

Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
