21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Bids for a hat-trick after wins at Beverley in May (5f, good to firm) and Ayr in June (5f, soft); up 11lb (5lb rise for last win); each-way chance. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ran out the easy winner of a handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; up 6lb but slower ground won't faze him and he can't be ruled out. |

8th 10 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock. |
13/2 |

3rd 8 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three sound runs this term, winning his last two, at Wetherby in June (5.5f, good to firm) and over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm); this looks a stronger race, but he could go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (8) |

1st 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer who made it three wins in his last five starts when making all at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Friday; it's over three years since he defied a mark this high but he has to be respected in his current mood. |

Yet to win on turf and needs to improve on his sixth over C&D last time (good to firm). |
13/2 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Third in C&D classified event on his penultimate start and again ran well when a close fifth in a C&D handicap two weeks ago; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
5th 13 (12) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner; on a long losing run but there have been enough good runs this year to give him an each-way squeak. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins have been on Tapeta so needs considering after some competitive runs on turf, though not drawn well. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who finished 1l third over C&D (good) most recently, posting her best turf effort; place possibilities off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came on the AW in early 2025; her more recent efforts on either side of a wind operation have been thoroughly underwhelming. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual firm-ground Bath winner this season, latterly off 3lb lower for Owen Lewis late last month; as high in the weights now as he's been for a few years and his record round here is nothing exciting. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has much better strike-rate on AW but recovered from slow start to win here (5f, firm) on turf return in May, and this longer trip will arguably suit him better; needs to bounce back from two down-the-field runs but was denied a clear run on first occasion; can't be ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Better known on AW; can lead but he came from off the pace when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month under James Glennon; nothing went right from a wide draw at Beverley since but he does act well on fast ground and has a generally good record over C&D (course winner at 5f); thereabouts. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He's won six times and has been runner-up in his last three contests, latest when jockey dropped her whip when in front inside the final furlong at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm); he may well gain compensation today. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
2-41 on turf, the latest success coming at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last May; runner-up on his last two starts, latest over 5f at that venue 12 days ago, and warrants respect now stepped back up in trip. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 2-40 on turf but his last win was at Thirsk last spring and he was runner-up at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week; looks interesting off 1lb lower here and he's respected back at this track. |
7/2 |
