7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to go on from his reappearance when only tenth in 1m4f York handicap in May; has since undergone wind surgery though so last year's winner can't be discounted now back off the same mark. |

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. |

Placed twice in a row before winning by 2l at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he holds solid claims up 6lb for last time. |

Has gained all of his three wins on the AW but is knocking on the door for his first turf win; placed on his last two runs, latest when runner-up at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month; claims. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won a pair of 1m2f fast-ground Class 6s before found wanting in a Class 4 at York; might still be on a realistic mark and this is easier than last time. |
3/1 |

6th 10 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Has landed 1m2f fast-ground handicaps at Beverley and Wetherby in recent months; those were Class 6 events so this is a step up in grade but he had a fair bit in hand last time and there is likely more to come. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-6 for Jessica Harrington and well held in handicaps in his last three runs but he sets the standard on his fifth of 15 in a useful maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) in May; comes with risks attached but he's a player if he can get back near his best for new yard. |
7/2 |

5th 5 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |
9st 4lb |
Promise in maidens at 7f-1m on soft ground; soundly beaten in first two handicaps, his latest second at Gowran (9.5f, yielding) a remote one; eased 1lb and cheekpieces go on; more needed. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Fair maiden for Ed Walker; made a winning start for new yard in five-runner maiden at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; not out of things back in handicap company, although yard also has Star Cast in here. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on ground quicker than good, seemingly best at around 1m on Tapeta and good to soft so far; perhaps found soft ground slower than ideal when well held at Ffos Las (1m2f; first-time blinkers, now discarded) in June; has left Ed Walker for 9,500gns since and still has some trip queries. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Showed promise on good to firm on reappearance, before last month's soft-ground wins at Lingfield (1m1f) and Ayr (1m2f); he had no answers, however, when fifth of 14 to Roc De Fer at Southwell (1m3f, AW) four days ago. |

Off the mark for the year at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in April and he has run several good races in defeat since; he should be in the thick of the action once more. |

Four wins here and nearly made that five last month on two occasions, since when he's again gone close at Pontefract; likely contender off the same mark as for last two runs. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |

This has always been his time of year and he's a dual C&D winner who's back on a handy mark; it wouldn't be a shock if he popped up. |

A fair 7.5f winner as a 2yo; returned to form after wind surgery with third of seven in 7.5f handicap at Beverley 18 days ago; needs to back it up now. |

3rd 5 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D novice winner last August (good to firm); hasn't recaptured her form in three handicaps this season (favourite on first occasion) but returns on a 6lb lower mark having had a wind operation. |

Betting Forcast
14/1 Shimmering Sands, 8/1 Project Geofin, 12/1 Everyoneknowsadave, 5/2 Ciao Capo, 7/2 Rapide Vega, 7/1 Musical Accord, 20/1 Ziata, 7/1 Fans Favourite, 14/1 Sunny Orange, 20/1 Distinction, 16/1 Lady Hornblower
Verdict
Sunny Orange (second choice) and Distinction can boast solid course records and need firm consideration, while Rapide Vega and Ciao Capo arrive in good heart and are also respected. The vote goes to FANS FAVOURITE, however, who will be well suited should the forecast rain arrives and can regain the winning thread.[Richard Russell]
