1st 4 (15) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent dual winner who coped well with the rise in class when pushing a well-handicapped winner all the way at Ayr six days ago (1m, good; goes on all surfaces); not ideally drawn out in 15 but plenty to like otherwise. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Likeably consistent dual winner who won't mind what the weather does, with recent seconds at about 1m coming on soft and good to firm; pretty solid, other than this is a step up in class. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark when winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in May and followed up over this C&D next time (good); has posted two good placed efforts since, the most recent at Chester (7.5f, soft) last month off a 2lb lower mark than today's, and makes the shortlist. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |

1st 1 (1) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024). |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner last month off 8lb lower and the following week suffered a fall at York; good to see him bounce back from that with a respectable show at Hamilton; this mark might be on the high side. |
7/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; keeping on (although still had a fair bit of ground to make up) when clipping heels and coming down 1f out at York last Saturday; 9lb higher than at Redcar but still a potential class act at this level if that nasty experience last weekend hasn't left a mark. |
4/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) on Sunday, and given the style of that success he looks an attractive proposition under a 5lb penalty; high on the list. |

One of two wins came over C&D (April); some good runs in the meantime and has a handy draw to work from. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins have been over 1m but she did go close over this C&D last September (good to soft); ran well at Pontefract (1m, good) two starts ago but below her best at Thirsk (good to firm) two weeks ago; steps back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins from 29 starts, with the most recent success coming in April over this C&D; had cheekpieces back on (retained) when runner-up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days ago and holds good claims off the same mark. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
4yo filly whose form at Pontefract comprises her sole turf win, gained over 6f in 2024, and strong-finishing second (nearly got up) over 1m last time; major player back up just 1lb. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f course win as a 2yo; added a 1m handicap at Newcastle last October and there have been some near misses on AW this year too; not beaten far into fifth at Thirsk on Saturday on her return to Class 5 level; well drawn but slower than good would be a concern. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner as 2yo; some good AW runs since winning at Newcastle (1m) in October but she's slacked off on her last two starts and needs a turnaround now back on this surface; has more to prove than some. |

|
4th 11 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Made the frame for the seventh consecutive time, albeit beaten 7l, when second of 14 at Redcar (1m, good to firm) a week ago; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |

C&D win (soft) in June off a 2lb lower mark; solid efforts in defeat since and the forecast rain won't be a problem; still needs the new headgear to squeeze out a bit more. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Triple turf winner who scored at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and has finished a respectable third at Pontefract in her last two starts; still unexposed on AW and she should be in the mix again back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Took this prize 12 months ago and she's back in excellent form of late, scoring at Carlisle (1m) before third of seven over C&D 26 days ago; merits serious consideration in her follow-up bid. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |
7/2 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
15/8 |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |

Sits on last winning mark (Ayr, 1m) and has held his form well, finding one stronger in three of his last four, including when picked off inside the final furlong at Doncaster (7f; 11-1) recently; is a modest 1-22 on AW. |

Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |

8th 8 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |

6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |
