8th 9 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D but could be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent 5yo who came clear with the second when justifying market support last weekend at Lingfield (6f, soft); carries a 5lb penalty and Myla Coppins claimed 7lb on Saturday, so these terms are tougher; still a likely contender and any rain welcomed. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Modest strike-rate in the last 14 months but he is generally consistent and is versatile as regards surfaces; form figures off current mark read 222; could go one better, with Myla Coppins taking off 7lb. |

2nd 2 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Far from solid on 2026 AW form, notwithstanding a March win, and rarely seen on turf in the last two years; others preferred. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Retains plenty of ability aged nine and rallied well for neck success over C&D most recently, taking AW record to 11-69; back up the weights but won off this mark in 2022 and 2024; may remain competitive. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time AW winner who boasts a consistent record over C&D; high enough in the weights but his latest Kempton effort, back from a break, is best overlooked and the return here won't hurt. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Scored off 2lb lower at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February and ran his best race since when fourth of seven at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; not out of this. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Inconsistent on the AW this year, aside from winning in February and without a win on turf since 2023; his recent third at Lingfield (soft) was quite remote. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on AW this year, aside from winning in February; well treated on best turf form but hasn't scored in this sphere since 2023. |

2nd 1 (11) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to back up the form of his February win last time, kept to 7f on AW; multiple sprint winner on turf and made the frame in last four attempts in this sphere; solid. |
7/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual sprint winner on AW; 0-5 on turf but ran well when favourite for big-field event at Thirsk (5f, good; finished 1l third) most recently; warrants respect off same mark. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 5 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Only eighth of 17 when favourite at Ascot two weeks ago, although far from disgraced; still relatively lightly raced and just 1lb higher than for 5f Newcastle win in March; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Narrow Newcastle win on her penultimate start; did best of the rest behind an emphatic all-the-way winner at Yarmouth three weeks ago (5f, good); this race should be more conventional and she is more appealing than many. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 4-8 on turf when scoring at Haydock (6f, good) last July but she's lost her way in three subsequent runs; had an excuse on soft ground on her Lingfield reappearance two weeks ago but this is competitive and she needs a big turnaround. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced on ground softer than good; absent since an excusable effort (hampered start, poorly positioned) last August; 4-9 on turf and 1-1 over C&D; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Progressive last year for Rae Guest (C&D winner) and won at Haydock (6f, good) last month on third start for this yard, for which she deserves extra credit having had to switch around runners; soundly beaten on AW since but has never shone on that surface; she's one to consider now back on turf. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All six wins, three on AW, have been over 6f; best run this season was when second over 5f at Ffos Las last month (good); chance on that run but this faster going not sure to suit. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Missed 2025 but ran well when second of seven over this C&D in March on his first start for 702 days; struggled on his next two starts but returned to form when going close at Ffos Las (5f) nine days ago; this dual C&D will be suited by the return to this trip and has strong claims. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Missed 2025 and hasn't kicked on from an encouraging return on the AW, last time finishing tailed off on soft. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Campaigned mostly in lower grades and has done her winning on Wolverhampton AW; doesn't look the answer in this scenario. |
16/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins; 0-12 on turf but has largely consistent form in this sphere, creditable third at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) most recently; each-way possibilities. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been on AW and she's 0-11 on turf; finished placed a few times on good or quicker ground last summer but she's been quiet in both runs this season and others are more persuasive. |
