25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Run of in-frame efforts came to an end here two weeks ago but he still ran with more promise than his finishing position suggests; still likely vulnerable at this level. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hold-up sprinter who ended a near two-year losing run at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; better form when second there three weeks ago; has plenty of C&D form in big fields and he has each-way claims. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this in good form having won over C&D on last two starts (good to firm), last week scoring by 3.5l when an 8-15 shot; 7b higher here, but should go well again. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Belatedly ended a long losing run with a smooth defeat of Ramon Di Loria over C&D last week; looks well in under a 5lb penalty and his claims are obvious. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Admirable teenager with 12 wins to his name, including one over C&D; best recent effort when second of 12 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; should be on the premises again. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Admirable teenager who has a better strike-rate on the AW, but he has won over this C&D; finished a long way behind Signcastle City at York (7f, good) last month and probably best watched. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner whose AW mark has eased after three no-shows on turf and who's now 1lb lower than when successful at Newcastle last winter; currently 3-10 for Billy Loughnane and a better showing can be expected. |
10/1 |

8th 12 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

No problem with fast turf but he has a much better strike-rate on AW; midfield finish at Doncaster last month didn't suggest he is the answer here. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Had his ideal combination of fast ground and a strong pace when back to winning form at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected if this pans out in a similar way, which looks a possibility. |
3/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Likes it here; came back to form last Wednesday at Lingfield (turf) but has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, albeit she'll be 1lb higher from the weekend; vulnerable to improvers. |

2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Tends to win in her turn and it was a sixth success (second on turf) when taking 7f Doncaster handicap (good) five weeks ago; lesser form in two subsequent runs over that C&D, including when borderline tailed off a fortnight ago. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Just a respectable fourth of seven over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but that run came after a short break and he's now well handicapped if judged on some of this spring's form; worth a second look. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Signed off for 2025 at Newmarket (7f) in November and in good nick this season until coming in last of six over C&D in May; the sort to bounce back after a break. |

Won on turf last April and snapped long losing run at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; however, well beaten back on turf on his last two starts and he needs to turn things around. |

Won twice over 7f this time last year for Mick Appleby and is 8lb lower than when successful at Ascot on the second occasion, but six starts for this yard so far this year leave plenty to be desired; others safer. |

Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last July; three lesser runs followed and no return to form on his reappearance in April; he could improve for that latest effort but his claims aren't compelling. |

7f winner at Southwell for Marco Botti last summer off 5lb higher; patchy for this yard since, although 9.5f at Wolverhampton seemed to stretch his stamina last time and this test is more suitable. |

Course winner who added to his tally at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May; good runner-up efforts there in recent weeks and has to enter calculations. |

2nd 8 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Beat Donna Nook over C&D in May when rated 1lb higher; put a couple of lesser efforts behind him when chasing home Runninsonofagun here last week; 7lb better off for 2l defeat so has a handicapping chance; new visor replaces cheekpieces; others still more appealing. |
