5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who won twice at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) and once over hurdles in the spring; up another 4lb on this return to the Flat and may not be allowed his own way this time. |
7/2 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Carried the good cheer of a successful spell on the Tapeta back across to hurdles at Fakenham latest (3m, good), winning as he pleased; 8lb rise looks about right, and has stamina to spare down in trip. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Thriving for his new stable and gained a third success in 1m4f Chester handicap in June; backed that up with a good second of seven in 2m handicap there since; big player off the same mark here. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has won three of his last four and doesn't win by far so might still be ahead of the game mark-wise; stays 1m6f well so this far shouldn't be an issue, nor the track as his win two weeks ago was here (1m4f). |
11/4 |

1st 8 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Running well since sent beyond 1m4f and he took those form figures to 2121 when landing small-field Hamilton handicap (1m5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; probably acts on softer than good and he can't be ignored in current mood, despite the drop back down in trip, for last year's winning yard. |

Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible. |

4th 3 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

2nd 3 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Did well on AW earlier in the year and he ran well back on turf when third of 12 over C&D (good to soft) in April; latest Chester run easy to excuse (Class 4) and this is far more suitable; respected, for all there is a slight question mark surrounding fast ground. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have been on Tapeta and latest was 15 months ago; respectable third at Redcar (1m6f, good) and Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in his last two runs but this is a competitive race and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner last April off a mark 2lb higher than today's; travelled well but didn't see things out as well as the first two when third at Redcar (1m6f, good; first-time visor) last month and has solid claims returned to the AW. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |

2-29, with both wins on AW; has been running no more than respectably on AW since joining Micky Hammond; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces back on turf. |

9st 7lb |
3-9 under Zoe Lewis with all of his wins coming over C&D, the latest when beating The Craftymaster by a neck last month; meets him on the same terms and may be the better suited of the pair to this trip; major player. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when narrowly beating a subsequent winner last month; only fifth of eight at Kempton on Wednesday but that was at 2m in a Class 5 and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip/grade. |
6/1 |

5th 6 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when just beating a subsequent winner from 3lb lower last month; ran well in one previous visit here and, although yet to attempt this far on the Flat, would be a player if he stays. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Some good performances last year as when beaten a short head off this mark over C&D in November; needs to better her two efforts since returning last month, though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-12 in Flat handicaps but she was placed here in November on two occasions (including C&D); behind Shipshape at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on his first start for 131 days but the returning cheekpieces should be a positive. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-11 in Flat handicaps but bang there on three of her last four starts (2m here and Southwell 1m6f); that puts her firmly in the picture but there is a bit to prove after 131 days off. |

Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |

2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |

8th 10 (4) |

Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Runaway winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November, but he's struggled since and was tailed off on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last month; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Hit with a sharp rise in the weights after running away with a 0-55 here last backend and has struggled since, including in one go over this far; has moved yards yet again (new trainer also runs Shopaholic) which needs to have helped. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Made the running last three starts, easily best of which was her breakthrough win here (1m4f classified) in January; reportedly bled when 5-6 three days later and refused to enter the stalls at Kempton (28-1) 13 days ago; not proven beyond 1m4f (two attempts at 2m) and other options look more solid. |
8/1 |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Could put the pace to the race; breakthrough win at Wolverhampton in January (1m4f) came out of the blue, for all she was dropping into a classified for the first time; bombed out (though reportedly bled) when carrying 5lb penalty in handicap under same conditions just three days later; rather watch. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who got off the mark at the 20th attempt when making all in a C&D classified event on Friday; has a penalty back in a handicap but that was a dominant display and she's still unexposed at this trip; key player. |
