25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner with a favourable low draw; shaped nicely at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance and quick ground was blamed for a poor run next time; below the mark of his last win (over C&D) and no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front, especially if the rain materialises. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins last summer, with two minor honours in the autumn including one here; ended last year on a low note and started this one with another, while pedigree leaves him with plenty to prove on this first go at 1m4f. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Tailed off last November when last seen but enjoyed a good season in the main otherwise, winning two in a row in the summer and finishing second over C&D (good) on his penultimate start; his record when fresh in the spring is pretty decent and he's one to consider. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Clearcut winner in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good) in June and probably bettered that form when very close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month but was below form after racing too freely over C&D three weeks ago and needs to bounce back with a career best. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Headstrong sort but he's taken his form up a notch since cheekpieces went on, scoring at Pontefract (1m) in June before beaten a nose when a clear second at Doncaster (1m) since having hung badly left in front; not the easiest of rides but a player once more here. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
11yo who is a three-time C&D winner, the latest last month (good), and he followed up at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last Thursday in a novice amateur riders' race, for which he carries a 4lb penalty here; third in the last three runnings of this race and could better that position today. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Admirable veteran who recorded his 15th turf win when battling well to score at Ripon (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; that was his third success from his last seven starts and he's a big player again off only 2lb higher here. |

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. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
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) 11 days ago; back up 3lb (5lb claimer is recruited) and should be thereabouts. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Without a win since 2024 but earns good marks for his consistency in recent months and lost out only by a head off today's mark at Ripon (1m2f, good) in June; probably won't be far away. |
3/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
7yo whose losing sequence goes back 21 races to September 2024 but he went close behind Yermanthere over C&D (good) last month and was a good third at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time; might not be far away. |

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. |

4th 2 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran his best race for this yard when keeping on for third in a C&D handicap 19 days ago; now has something to build on and Billy Loughnane a positive booking for the stable. |
