22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |

Two wins this year, the latest a front-running C&D success in June; solid third off this mark at Hamilton 11 days ago; has other pace to contend with this time. |

3rd 1 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner whose three turf wins have all been on ground slower than good, the most recent coming when holding on at Chester (6f, good to soft) two months ago; may not have things all his own way in front but commands respect off this 2lb higher mark. |

9st 5lb |
Both wins have come over 6f and only seventh of 11 in one 7f run; down the field at Haydock last week and that was in a race where he was well drawn; not a solid option but a bounce back wouldn't be a great surprise. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Ended a losing sequence over C&D in August and backed it up with a good second of ten in 6f handicap at Hamilton six days ago; a likely player off the same mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (10) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Ended lengthy losing run when scoring off reduced mark at Southwell (6f, AW) two weeks ago; back up 5lb but he remains well treated on his best form including a win at Chester (6f, good) last July; interesting contender. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times over 5f in 2025; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces with fourth of ten in 6f Chester handicap in June; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark here with headgear retained. |
9/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He hasn't won yet in 2026 but he has looked to retain plenty of ability and his latest Pontefract second (6f, good to firm) was a solid effort; should appreciate this intermediate trip and he has a big run in him. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations. |

Three-time winner but 0-13 since moving yards and doesn't look about to put that right. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Still seeking a first win for this yard and, although he continues to drop down the weights, this looks too competitive. |

4th 1 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |
10/1 |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Saw out 2025 with three AW wins from his final four starts but he's played only minor roles in turf handicaps this year, including when beaten nearly 5l behind King Of Light over C&D in May; could do with some rain or, failing that, a return to the AW as he's well treated now. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark. |
7/2 |

6th 4 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on well when winning a 6f handicap (good) here in May; not so good on his next two starts but he ran well for third back here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drops back to 5f with cheekpieces enlisted; others preferred for the win. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Sole visit here yielded a win over this trip (good) in May but he hasn't figured in two subsequent starts, including when always behind at Windsor 11 days ago; hopes rest on a return to this course firing him back up. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Stable's quiet year has seen him plummet down the weights and he is now on an extremely tempting mark; didn't run badly at Sandown four weeks ago and he has run well in all three visits to Newcastle; shortlisted. |

4th 1 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

He won three times over 5f last August-October and is 8lb below his last winning mark; drops back in trip today but he's finished down the field on all five starts this season and has plenty to prove. |

9st 11lb |
It was win number six when making an immediate impact for this yard at Thirsk (5f, good; made all) at the start of last month; fair third over that C&D a fortnight later but his two runs on soft ground haven't seen him at his best. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

1st 7 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on this winter's AW form but he has gone off the boil more recently; given a chance by the handicapper as a consequence and he needs a market check starting out for Ruth Carr (sold out of David Loughnane's stable for 22,000gns last month). |
