6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month and close second there since; also effective elsewhere (albeit unraced here) and he holds solid claims. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Fast-ground specialist who completed a hat-trick around this time last year and was back off his last winning mark when making all over C&D (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; 2lb wrong under a 5lb penalty, but still respected now that he is back in the groove. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well placed to rattle off a fast-ground hat-trick last summer (7f/1m); this campaign has been harder work but he fared a bit better last time, is down to a winning mark and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; not solid, but a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on ground ranging from firm to good to soft; won two in a row at Bath (1m) in May/June and he went close at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Chepstow (1m) in his next two runs; still looks on a workable mark and he has a good record at this track. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Picked up a couple of Class 6 events at Bath this summer and he wasn't beaten far in his hat-trick bid at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) 16 days ago; another 2lb higher today but this C&D winner should give it another good go. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
First turf win when beating three rivals at Bath (1m, firm) in May; she's run creditably over this C&D in the meantime, notably when checked in her run but keeping at it two starts ago; lesser run next time but she's run well both times Rossa Ryan has ridden her and should do so again. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten just over a length into third of six behind Kodi Fire over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago; didn't enjoy a clear run there and now 5lb better off, but her modest strike-rate is a concern. |
13/2 |

3rd 6 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
8lb better off with Dappled Light for a half-length defeat at Bath (1m, good to firm) in May; won a small-field handicap back at Bath four days later but two runs in Class 5 events since haven't been so good; others appeal more. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton (7f) in January for Jane Chapple-Hyam; in decent form since for current yard until only seventh in 1m2f handicap at Chester 13 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
AW winner over 7f for previous yard off 3lb higher; signs of getting it together for Ian Williams, albeit those were Class 5 handicaps at Chepstow and over 1m; down 1lb and, if he can see out the trip, wouldn't be without hope. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time AW winner who ran her best race on turf when second of seven, beaten a neck, at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May; failed to back it up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces rather than visor) four weeks ago; this trip should be more suitable. |
6/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Her four wins have all been achieved over shorter trips and on AW, but she ran comfortably her best race on turf when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 18 days ago; has to prove her stamina and cheekpieces replace the visor today. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps (7f/8.6f) over the winter; the handicapper may have caught up now and she still has to prove she can be as effective on turf. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
7f AW win for Denis Quinn last season; running well for his new trainer too, most recently finishing a neck second at Epsom (good to firm) last week; runs off the same mark (1lb well in) and he is respected, for all his stamina for 1m has to be conclusively proven. |
2/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close third on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in May and didn't run badly when close eighth of ten (just behind Potomac River) in stronger race than this at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |
|
8th 6 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Became his new trainer's first runner, having been picked up from Denis Quinn for 17,000gns, when faring well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth three weeks ago (Dapper Guest behind); generally consistent and won't mind the stiffer 7f. |
