2nd 8 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered his second win when scoring over C&D last month off 5lb lower; went close to following up when going down by half a length at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago and may be worth persevering with at present. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (10) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

C&D winner in September and doubled his tally when making all at Wolverhampton a month ago (second run in cheekpieces); drawn wide but off only 3lb higher he's considered. |

Sole success came at Lingfield last September off 1lb higher; has ran well in three of his six runs this year, latest when third of five over 5f here last week (first-time cheekpieces, retained); not far away. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Record since the tongue-tie went on in December reads 2323223628; possible to forgive her latest effort at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), but others are preferred for the win even so; hood removed after one use. |
7/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Fairly consistent sort; ran up to her best when runner-up here (6f) 11 days ago; first-time hood replaces visor and good chance that stepping back up in trip can eke out further improvement. |
4/1 |

8yo who has been beaten ten times since his last win in July 2024 but he's been placed on both starts this summer (6f, soft/Tapeta); chance. |
13/2 |

3rd 4 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won for two years but made an encouraging return from his second wind op and a six-month layoff when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month; holds claims if he can back up that run. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |

Has had wind surgery on two occasions, namely prior to reappearance success in 2024 (off 3lb higher) and prior to this 2026 seasonal debut; today may prove the time to catch him. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Three-time AW who ran well from the front when second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago; 0-13 on turf but remains 6lb lower than when second over C&D (firm) in May; could be hard to catch. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 12 (9) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again. |
10/1 |

4th 13 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

All three wins have been at this track, one over C&D; hasn't been firing on all cylinders this year though and needs the return to this track to bring about a revival. |

Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over C&D last October; should be on a perfectly good mark but hasn't been in the best of form. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over 6f here last October; now 2lb lower than for that win but has a mixed record since and was never involved at Wolverhampton last Monday; comes with risks attached and he needs to raise his game back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
9/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch in 2024 when winning six times; landed his third win over C&D last August off this mark; handicapper has given him a chance after two defeats last month; should run well. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten on his last 12 starts and only sixth at Wolverhampton last month, but he was returning from a break and was slowly away; could be sharper for that latest outing and he ran well in third over C&D in April; this three-time C&D winner is capable of having a big say. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins have been at 6f on AW; consistent sort who ran his usual game race when third of eight at Southwell (6f) in April; has had wind surgery since and must be of interest if it sparks any improvement. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, two seconds and a third to his name from 11 starts over C&D; beaten as favourite (behind Farandaway) here a month ago but is on a workable mark now and one to consider back under Rossa Ryan. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

This mark isn't beyond her but her style of racing doesn't really lend itself to this track; others appeal more for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven wins on the AW including two over C&D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Three of her seven AW wins have been over C&D, the most recent in April when 5lb lower; has run well since but requires a strong pace to be fully effective. |

Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Not hit top gear this year but signs of a return to form when keeping on from off the pace here 14 days ago in a race he won the previous year; always dangerous if getting a strong pace to chase. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Drawn wide when winning this race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark; not hit top gear yet in 2026 but this should be run to suit him and a revival would come as no surprise. |

Sole success came in June last year for George Boughey when 3lb lower; should be better for first run in nine months when seventh of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month but may need to come down the weights. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |
