16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven-time hurdle winner who is 1-11 on the Flat; faded back over hurdles at Newton Abbot three weeks ago but she was runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month, and that was a bold bid after wind surgery; has claims on that form and she's in the mix back in this sphere. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Beat three rivals in this 12 months ago and has added further wins since then, on the Flat and over hurdles; only beaten a length in 1m4f handicap last time after a wind operation; not handicapped out of it by any means. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
117-rated hurdler, who regularly took travelling in her stride (three wins down at Newton Abbot); won well, making all, on the Flat at Thirsk (1m4f, soft; from 7lb lower) last September; notable candidate back to this discipline following more wind surgery. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form. |
4/6 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner here for Simon Dow last year who made a solid start for his new yard back on turf, having been picked up for 11,000gns, at Ripon nine days ago; just cracked late there on his first run in three months and has a good chance today. |
4/6 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Three Lingfield AW wins (1m4f-1m5f) for Simon Dow; changed hands in April for 11,000gns and only time will tell how he fares for his new handler; relatively unexposed on turf (0-3) but may strip fitter for this off an 83-day break. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Easy win at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March but not at that level in six runs since; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear. |
100/30 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins in 2025, two on the AW (1m4f) and once over hurdles; banging at the door on turf this summer, second over C&D ten days ago when not enjoying a clear run; another good run seems likely. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh in November; did his best work late when runner-up at Redcar (1m6f, good) last month but he's lacked the pace to challenge in two starts since over this trip; visor goes back on for cheekpieces. |

9st 0lb |
Ended a two-year losing run when winning a Class 6 at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; steps back up in grade off this 2lb higher mark, but he has to be considered. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this race last year and landed a handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten over 1m here last Saturday and, although this trip should suit him better, he needs to put that performance behind him; blinkers return. |
7/1 |
|
10th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have come on Tapeta but over longer trips, the latest (1m3f, Southwell) in March off 3lb lower; could prove vulnerable back at 1m. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Dual winner on the AW in France (1m, 9.5f); mainly disappointing for new yard, although fair third of five in first-time visor at Beverley two runs ago (1m4f, good to firm); on a fair mark, but beaten more than 8l on two tries at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
His losing sequence continues but he's dropped down the weights and his third of five at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday in a first-time visor (retained) was slightly more encouraging; could build on that. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two AW wins in France but little to celebrate in Britain; two AW runs last autumn were respectable but nothing comparable this year; the new headgear needs to prove transformative. |

His two turf wins last summer came off higher marks, including in an amateurs' handicap; moderate form this year and the blinkers, worn once before when pulled up over fences, are given another try. |

6th 2 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

4th 7 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Handful of fair efforts in the spring but he's a longstanding maiden who's lost his way of late; again hung left at Hamilton last Thursday (ended up on the stands' rail) and running at another right-handed course would be a worry. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed a few times this year but well beaten at Newcastle two starts ago and she hung badly left and unseated her rider at Ripon last Thursday; remains a maiden after 20 starts and others make greater appeal. |
