1st 8 (2) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made a successful stable debut over C&D in September 2024 and, having dropped 1lb lower than for that win, was scoring for the first time since when just getting up at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) this month; back up 3lb but respected nonetheless. |

9st 4lb |
On a losing sequence but he took a step back in the right direction with seventh of 12 in 1m Carlisle handicap 23 days ago, fading only late on having raced wide; not out of things eased 2lb. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Made the frame for the seventh consecutive time, albeit beaten 7l, when second of 14 at Redcar (1m, good to firm) a week ago; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |

Beaten under 1l when third of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has now made the frame six consecutive times; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finished well to go close on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and he backed that up with a creditable third at Musselburgh (1m, good); returns after 120 days off but he's still unexposed and that latest form has been well advertised by the runner-up since; respected. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 7f form in Ireland but that was two years ago and his course win came over 1m in April (made all) on second start for this yard; no advance on that form in two runs since but perhaps the return to this trip will improve his options. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Gained a belated first success over C&D in June but he's not the most reliable and came in only fifth of eight in 1m1f handicap here following month; not out of things if back on his A-game though. |
100/30 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Back in form when second to Krissy over C&D in May and he built on that when getting a fine ride to make his breakthrough here (1m, again good; Bellasio second) 19 days ago; not the easiest but little doubt this new mark still underestimates him. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage 3yo whose form since handicapping features a reappearance win at Redcar (1m) in April and keeping-on second at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in June; beaten by more than lack of stamina over 1m2f at Pontefract since, though. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 3yo whose form since handicapping features a reappearance win at Redcar (1m) in April and keeping-on second at Carlisle (1m1f) last time; may still have further progress in him and this return to 1m2f is worth a go; shortlisted. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Triple turf winner who scored at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and has finished a respectable third at Pontefract in her last two starts; still unexposed on AW and she should be in the mix again back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Took this prize 12 months ago and she's back in excellent form of late, scoring at Carlisle (1m) before third of seven over C&D 26 days ago; merits serious consideration in her follow-up bid. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Won twice over 7f last November; comparable form when second at Carlisle (1m, soft) last month; not so good last time and she faces a stiff task at the weights; slower ground ideal too. |
7/1 |

9th 3 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Scored over C&D (soft) just under a year ago and has been in good form lately; close second off today's mark here (7.7f, soft) a week ago and also suited by good ground; likely contender again. |

Betting Forcast
4/1 Between Me And U, 8/1 Barley, 3/1 Keep An Eye On It, 12/1 Avatar Jet, 4/1 Hostility, 11/2 Ephron, 10/1 Ravishing Beauty, 12/1 Blufferonthebus, 40/1 Beckon

Verdict
The prospect of rain heightens interest in Ravishing Beauty and Blufferonthebus, while Keep An Eye On It is far from exposed and should go well despite a 6lb penalty. Ephron (second choice) also has more to offer but HOSTILITY (nap) has won twice over C&D in recent months and escapes a penalty for last week’s success.[Paul Smith]
