30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Three 1m2f wins on Newcastle AW towards the end of last year and he returned from a break and wind surgery to finish second over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; he was no match for the winner Jez Bomb but is 7lb better off today and is not ruled out. |

2nd 2 (5) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins were 1m2f on Newcastle AW last October-December; his three races this year suggest that the handicapper has caught up; this is also only his third race on turf, having twice been towards rear last June, so he has a bit to prove on this first run since his second wind surgery. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Got on a roll at the start of last summer, with the final leg of a five-timer coming over C&D (good); hasn't found the same form this year, though, and remains 3lb above the mark she defied here. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Completed a five-timer at Haydock last summer; still 5lb above her last winning mark and continues to look in the handicapper's grip. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Steadily progressive filly who made the running when taking 1m2f handicaps (good to firm) at Doncaster and Beverley this year; didn't get the breaks at Pontefract last time and this return to 1m4f is no reason to rule her out. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Made the running when 1m2f handicap winner (good to firm) this year at Doncaster and Beverley; this is a less demanding task than her last two starts, so a return to winning ways can't be ruled out. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but he followed it with much lesser efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Windsor and Pontefract; others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding. |
