3rd 20 (20) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune but he has the ability to win a big prize when things pan out favourably; latest C&D second has been well advertised since and he wasn't well drawn there; 2lb rise should be fine and he has form on slow ground; one to consider. |
11/1 |

2nd 6 (20) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Made good progress in the second half of 2025; the handicapper has held the upper hand more recently though and this might not set up ideally for his style of racing. |
20/1 |

6th 3 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner (four on AW) who ran well when fourth of 16 last May on his only outing here; chased home a handicap blot on his return to turf in April and he was back in that form when second at Windsor (again 6f, good to firm; Bolo Neighs behind) 11 days ago; in the mix once more. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Looked good when winning over C&D in June; struggled in a hot race at Newmarket the following month but only fifth at Newcastle last time and others may have his measure in this field. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Looked good when winning at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f); form then levelled off until he ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap at Kempton in June (well backed); stiff task at Newmarket six weeks ago and the return to AW is in his favour. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three poor efforts since returned to turf; now back to the mark off which she won at Yarmouth (sole turf win) last July but she'll need a major revival against some in-form sprinters. |
50/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Won a Wolverhampton (5f) handicap in February off this mark, but she has beaten just one rival home in three runs since; others much safer. |

2nd 1 (9) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has had plenty of racing since winning on the Rowley course (7f, good) under Chloe Lyons in May but he found something new when striding right away over this C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; due an 8lb rise so 3lb well in; much respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
He was having just his second start on turf when a ready winner at the other Newmarket track (7f, good) in May; finished runner-up on his last three starts, twice over C&D including last time under Chloe Lyons, and now takes a drop in class; has to be considered. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won on the other course here (7f, good) in May and he's finished runner-up over C&D and at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in last two starts; was beaten 3l last time but that was behind an improver and he's 1lb lower here; possibilities. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Well held in 7f Thirsk handicap this month on his first start for Ewan Whillans, taking his record to 0-23. |
25/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Off a much reduced mark and with a new visor fitted he ran his best race for a while to be second of 13 at Ayr (6f, good to soft) recently; clear claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (14) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives out of sorts, tried in cheekpieces when last of nine in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 27 days ago; visor is tried here. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f Polytrack winner; on the slide in the handicap for some time; drops again in grade for this first start at the track; has shown he acts on Tapeta at Newcastle and is on a very handy mark in relation to the form he showed there last October; blinkers go on; remains unproven over this trip. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Won four for Richard Hughes (three on turf) at 5.5f-7f; promising start for this yard at Navan in June but never figured when failing to beat a rival back at Navan on latest; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Much-improved on his last two starts; backed up Sligo second with victory in a 21-runner contest at Naas; runner-up Lismacbryan put that form to the test at Laytown on Thursday |
9/2 |
|
11 (17) |
24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

0-7 but in first-time cheekpieces when emerging from well off the pace to be second at Sligo (6f); could build on that with a tongue-tie added. |

2nd 4 (11) |
6th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 21y |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Out of the frame in six starts, as when behind three of these over C&D (good; first-time blinkers) six weeks ago; others more appealing. |
33/1 |
|
7th 10 (3) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Poor form in five starts (6f-7f); hopes pinned on the new blinkers sparking a transformation; bred to do better at some point. |
33/1 |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Safely held when seventh of 11 on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but remains very unexposed (particularly over this trip) and might come on for the run. |
