28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |

9st 6lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago but he remains 4lb above the mark he defied at Haydock. |

10st 0lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; struggled at York last time but that was a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was runner-up here (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
A maiden after 15 runs but came second five consecutive times on AW for Oliver Cole at start of this year and was unlucky not to finish closer than fifth at Goodwood (6f, good to soft; denied clear run) on latest outing in June; changed hands for 18,000gns last month and drops in grade for stable debut; no surprise if she features. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Forced to challenge widest of all last time at Windsor so forget that; she's a consistent maiden but whether she wants slowish ground is questionable (withdrawn the once on account of such conditions). |
10/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Consistent maiden who's had plenty of chances in handicaps and often been turned over at short prices; won't mind being back on turf and tonight's big field should suit her come-from-behind style, though, and she looks set to go well again. |

Shot up the weights for winning three races in five starts and he finished down the field at Glorious Goodwood (6f); others might be better in. |

15th 4 (9) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off five rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; at the top of his game but this asks a different question of one who has gained all six career successes in single-figure fields. |
10/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins this season (6f/5f, good/good to soft), including here, and when fourth of five here (6f, good) recently he wasn't beaten far following an awkward start; major player if the stalls break isn't an issue this time. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Seems happier on the AW than turf and is back down to his last winning mark; the eyeshield worn for his consistent string of efforts in the spring is also back, so there are reasons for optimism. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D in April off 5lb lower and subsequently followed up at Lingfield; not in the same form since and needs to bounce back to his best. |
5/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but has suffered heavy defeats back on turf the last twice; first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

15th 8 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Newcastle (7f) in September and bettered that form when third over 6f at Southwell (also AW) in November; had wind surgery before respectable comeback over latter C&D one month ago; unexposed on turf and worth a second look. |

Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely runs at this track but has won six times over 6f on Tapeta at Newcastle/Southwell and belied 33-1 odds when close third over 7f here in July; could not get involved from off the pace at Southwell (6f) last month but a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light. |

14th 10 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Has won on turf but better on the AW and gave it a good go under a front-running ride last month at Wolverhampton (7f; just behind On Key); better known for his exploits at this trip; an exposed 9yo but not without hope. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Off the mark at Yarmouth (5f) in August and didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good third of seven under a 5lb penalty at Brighton (6f) 17 days ago; a player off a 2lb lower mark here. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has often pulled hard and has been suited by the drop to 5f lately, taking advantage of a career-low mark when winning at Yarmouth last weekend; picks up a 5lb penalty for that narrow win and will need to settle better back up to 6f. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |

Largely consistent for new stable this year and was close second off today's mark at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) on penultimate appearance; unlucky not to finish closer to the target when third of four there last time and has the services of Tom Marquand here; good chance. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
6yo who has won three times this season, including over C&D in June and at Hamilton last month; remains well handicapped on his old form but he didn't shine at Thirsk last time and it would be a worry if the forecast rain arrives (all turf wins have been on good/good to firm). |

Prominent racer; thriving this season, winning three of his last five starts with the latest a cosy success at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he needs serious consideration; stable also runs American Bay. |

Exploited reduced mark on yard debut over C&D but was beaten at odds-on when escaping a penalty at Ffos Las; that was a missed opportunity as he's now 6lb higher. |

2nd 2 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Tumbled down the weights for three yards on the AW and took advantage of a lenient turf mark for his new trainer, without the usual headgear, under Myla Coppins at Windsor last Monday; had a good bit in hand there and has no penalty for it; obvious chance. |
4/5 |

1st 7 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins at 6f and 7f on artificial surfaces; on a losing run of over two years but he acts on turf and is on a useful mark for his latest new yard on the pick of his 2025 form; usually wears aids but none today. |
