6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing sequence, being 0-21 since debut win; however, beat all bar a subsequent scorer last time, over 1m6f at Chester, and appears to hold a fighting chance off the same mark, which is 22lb lower than his peak one. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in his last three runs including over 1m6f at York (good) two weeks ago; down the list. |
9/1 |

No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023 but he's run with credit on plenty of occasions; that wasn't the case at Chester last time, however, and on balance he's opposable despite this career-low mark. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
In winning form on the AW at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in the winter but failed to beat a rival on his return from five months in 1m4f handicap at Newmarket last month; has something to prove now. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins over 1m4f, the last three on Tapeta; not seen since a career best to win at Wolverhampton in January and he's 4lb higher here; twice runner-up on turf last year; may need to hit a new turf high but he requires a second look given this small field. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (7) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

Triple 1m4f winner, including on Tapeta; handicapper has just had his measure since his last win but he's gone very close several times, the latest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); up 1lb; respected. |

Won a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in May and a neck second of 19 on the Flat at the Galway festival (2m, yielding) in July; 15l fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle there (2m, good) four days later; of interest back in this code. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |

In terrific form of late, winning 2m3f Market Rasen handicap hurdle in May (good) and returned from a short break when strong-finishing neck second (clear of remainder) of 19 in 2m1f flat handicap here on Wednesday; clearly handles the track, should go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 20 (13) |

Three flat wins for various trainers in Britain and off the mark over hurdles for current trainer in 2m3f Market Rasen maiden in late May (good); had earlier not looked a straightforward ride on occasions; has had a break since. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off. |
10/1 |
|
1 (4) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Much more exposed than some of these and usually runs over 1m2f but gave pretty good account when fourth in valuable Chelmsford handicap (1m2f) a fortnight and is 1lb lower here; could have a say. |
4/1 |
|
9 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Formerly a front-runner but more often held up these days; finished a 4l seventh at Wolverhampton in last two starts but he's 5-9 at Chelmsford and was runner-up over C&D in June; has possibilities back at this track and he needs a close look with Hollie Doyle booked. |

11st 5lb |
Flat winner is 1-11 over hurdles, having been successful in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March (2m, soft to heavy); good runner-up finish to the smart Switch From Diesel in a Punchestown novice hurdle in June was his best run since (2m1f, good); makes chasing debut now and his hurdles rating of 115 gives him a shout but his recent runs have been a bit below his best. |

6th 5 |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
11st 9lb |
Leopardstown maiden hurdle winner (2m, soft) in March and runner-up to the smart Switch From Diesel in a Punchestown novice, his best run since; 2m6f may have stretched him last time, back in trip now. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Sometimes hangs left but is moving in the right direction and comfortably justified favouritism over C&D in December, recording a first win since joining shrewd current connections; good second on trials day at Newcastle (kept to 2m) since; may improve further at this trip; respected. |
2/1 |

2nd 7 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Had been running well in defeat before outclassing his five rivals in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton (2m); 5lb higher this time in a stronger contest but looks a good bet to give his running. |

Stays 2m but not short of speed; ran well behind a progressive rival at Southwell (1m4f) last time, third past the post but shaping second best on the day; drops 1f but a well-run race would bring him right into the picture. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (9) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a 1m6f handicap here last September and gained his first success since when wearing first-time cheekpieces at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 4lb out of the handicap) in July; however, he failed to beat a rival home at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month and returns to the AW needing to bounce back. |
10/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Peak efforts on AW but he won on good to firm last May and did so again when he first tried cheekpieces in eight-runner race at Ascot (1m4f; by a neck, led over 2f out) five weeks ago; back up 3lb but in the mix in small field. |

A dual 1m4f winner on Southwell AW in 2024 for Archie Watson; infrequently raced since and well held here and at Lingfield for his new yard this summer; needs to take a big step forward in first-time cheekpieces. |
40/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two Southwell handicaps (1m4f, Tapeta) and a Worcester bumper for Archie Watson in 2024, but lightly raced since and had been off 250 days when well held on stable debut at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) in June; enough to prove back from another 82 days off. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps at Southwell in late 2024 but he didn't match that form in three starts last year and left Archie Watson for 5,000gns in October; yard (also runs Shipshape) won this with a 33-1 shot last year and this one is likely to be a similar price. |

Kept on well to collar Square d'Alboni in closing stages over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 3-4 over hurdles; still unexposed over this trip and features prominently in calculations. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful Flat stayer who drew clear to score by over 6l at Aintree (2mf, good) in May and is now 2-3 over hurdles; has the big 12lb penalty here and Sean Bowen is replaced by an amateur but could be seen to even better effect over this longer trip; tongue-tie added. |

Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |

Gained his turf breakthrough when beating five others at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) in June and it was one of his best efforts when third of 17 back there (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; considered from the same mark. |

All six wins have been over longer trips, five on the AW at Wolverhampton and the other here in June (1m4f, good to soft); only 2lb higher than for that success but he was below his best on the AW last month and now drops back in trip. |

Prolific AW winner, most recently when darting 14l clear at Wolverhampton (2m) in June; narrowly exploited lower turf mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last month but he pulled clear with the runner-up and remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher; shortlisted. |
