5f AW win in April; ran well at Ripon (5f, good) later that month but he has struggled twice since; has a C&D win on his record but others bring more pressing claims. |

2nd 5 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |

Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |

Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |

8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |

Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

9st 9lb |
Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |

Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; nine-time winner who scored by 4l at Catterick two weeks ago but was disappointing under a penalty there last Wednesday; up another 4lb, but he was as good as ever on his penultimate run and is a player if he can recapture that form. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival home at Thirsk (5f, good) but he's won over this C&D either side of that, including when coming 4l clear nine days ago; looks well treated under a 4lb penalty but this is a step up in class. |

8st 9lb |
Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights. |
10/1 |

Another who has a better strike-rate on AW (7-19) than on turf (1-17); patchy form so far this year, but has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark and this is a drop in class; stable also runs Thunderstorm Katie. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
