1st 6 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won over 5f early in his career but has raced exclusively over 6f for the past two years, latterly when winning here for Harry Vigors (then claiming 7lb) off 3lb lower in April; goes well fresh but another furlong would have been ideal round here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead; five AW wins at 6f and 5f; has settled into a handicapping groove since the latest of them in February and although he wasn't far away under Harry Vigors at Wolverhampton (6f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) 11 days ago he isn't obviously ahead of his mark. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth win on the AW when landing a class 4 handicap at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in February; below his best in two starts since and now has blinkers on for the first time (replacing cheekpieces). |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was beaten off only inside the final 1f at Lingfield last time; should make another bold bid but he's still 4lb higher than when making all at Yarmouth in the spring. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who's drawn to attack and boasts a solid record over C&D; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, for a yard also responsible for Ziggy's Missile. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has registered her two handicap wins on left-handed, turning tracks; creditable third to Copper Knight back at Chester last time; less appealing on this stiff, straight course in first Hamilton visit. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner off 4lb lower mark last September (good to soft); some fair runs this term following Wolverhampton win in March, including when fourth over C&D last week in retained cheekpieces; each-way chance. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo; improved to win a 5f AW handicap in March and she has run to a similar level on occasions since; on a winning mark and the addition of cheekpieces could give her a lift. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it 2-5 since joining Ruth Carr when justifying favouritism at Ripon (5f, good to firm) last Saturday; a 4lb higher mark will make things harder but he's still well treated on old form. |
11/2 |
|
1st 9 (15) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark to make a winning start for Ruth Carr at Thirsk (5f) in August; recorded a solid fifth of 12 in 5f handicap at Beverley ten days ago; very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark here. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made a winning start for Ruth Carr at Thirsk (5f) in August; well held in the mud at Haydock (5f) last time but no surprise to see him bounce back here. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ten of his 11 wins have come over C&D, the latest in March off a 1lb higher mark; happiest when making the running and there could be some competition for that role in this field. |
5/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Bagged the stand rail in front when running right away with a Chepstow handicap early last month; hard to believe he's suddenly improved out of all recognition and a 10lb higher mark will test him in today's better company. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who couldn't adopt those tactics after a wide trip on the AW last time; had resumed better than ever and off same mark as for his near miss at Windsor (5f, good to firm). |
11/2 |
|
7th 4 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's resumed better than ever, backing up his Bath win with a Windsor near-miss off 1lb lower (inclined to hang left); might have been better drawn but can't be discounted for a yard that's won with four of its last five runners. |

10st 0lb |
Five-time winner on turf but 0-13 on the AW; won at Bellewstown (5f, soft) last October but he's struggled since, including in three starts for this stable (5f-1m); drops in grade but best watched. |
40/1 |

Five-time winner on turf but 0-12 on the AW; has struggled since winning at Bellewstown (5f, soft) last October and well beaten in his two starts since joining this stable; back up to 1m; best watched. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, with five on AW and one on turf; well handicapped on his Nottingham win (5f, good) last summer but he's been out sorts in three runs this season and needs a big turnaround. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |
