10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine year and garnered a sixth success in ten-runner handicap over C&D in June; freshened up since and remains handily weighted despite a 5lb rise; big shout. |

Took form to whole new level at Chester (1m2f, soft; also suited by good) a week ago, storming 7l clear, and has now won five times this year; 3lb well in under 5lb penalty; obvious contender. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (3) |

A seven-time C&D scorer; arrives in good nick, posting a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; a likely player again eased 1lb. |
9/2 |

3rd 9 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prolific winning veteran, including in this race in 2021 and 2022 (fourth to Capital Guarantee last year); went close to another C&D success last month and fair third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) since. |
11/1 |

Prolific winning veteran, mostly over 1m on a sound surface; most recent success came in this race last year, when 8lb higher; supported when a close second at Ripon latest start; respected. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins (6f-8.5f) but yet to register (0-16) on turf; placed at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) in mid July but less competitive at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Beverley (1m2f) since; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins on the AW and 0-15 on turf, though has been running well at 1m-1m2f on grass this year without getting the job done; does have to bounce back from a poor one, however. |
6/1 |

10th 4 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Held off his revised mark on turf since two AW wins, including here, in April; wins have all come over shorter but he stays this far and is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

10st 3lb |
Not as good now and has his share of off days; back on a winning mark, though, has a C&D win to his name and this is less competitive than he's used to returning from ten weeks off. |
3/1 |

3rd 4 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |

Has broadly regressed this year, including in C&D handicaps; successful in this race 12 months ago but was in much better form at the time; revival is needed. |

9th 15 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |
12/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season with two slow-ground wins on turf from the front (1m2f/1m4f); safely held twice on good ground this year (1m4f/1m2f) and needs to show more on this step up in trip on AW return. |
11/1 |

8th 3 (5) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Relatively lightly raced 4yo who ended last year with wins at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) and Musselburgh (1m4f, soft); started this season with a low-key effort but she may have needed that run and still has scope for further progress; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade. |

10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Admirable veteran who recently completed a hat-trick over 1m2f before disappointing last week at Doncaster; has to bounce back from that, but he should be fine returned to 1m. |

7th 4 (4) |

Veteran who is enjoying a fine season and bagged win number five when completing a hat-trick in 1m2f handicap at Ripon 12 days ago; this likeable front runner merits serious consideration nudged up 1lb. |

9st 13lb |
Has won four of his 17 turf races at up to 1m2f; respectable 2.75l third of 18 at York last time (1m2.5f good); interesting, although pulled hard and didn't seem to get home on only previous try at 1m4f. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet a year since he almost defied 8lb higher on quick turf (1m); mixed bag since, and hard to find any benefit from a third wind operation in the winter, but he's too well treated not to bear in mind at least. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |

11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

Gained a first win for her current yard in 1m6f Doncaster handicap in July; set a lot to do when a never-dangerous sixth of nine at Redcar (1m6f) 19 days ago; not dismissed. |

Came good for current stable at fifth attempt, in tactical four-runner race at Doncaster (extended 1m6f, good to firm) last month but was behind Newport when down the field at York a fortnight later; others have more convincing profiles. |
10/1 |
|
11th 12 (13) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Kept on for reasonable third of six at Doncaster last month on first crack at 1m4f before winning over 14.5f there a fortnight ago (good to firm each time); had just three rivals to beat last time but she's unexposed over staying trips and could be in the shake-up. |
