28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came over C&D last year and has dropped 5lb lower than for the latest in September; modest effort at Southwell (7f, AW) last time, but still of interest returned to this track. |
7/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed form this year but ran okay when third at Newmarket (7f, good) recently and has dropped below his last winning mark; unraced on Tapeta but seemed fine on Polytrack on his two previous AW runs; might not be far away. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-17 on turf as opposed to 7-26 on AW and unplaced on grass on his two starts this summer; however, he gave it a good go from the front at Chester (5f, good) last time when he used up lots of energy early from his wide draw, and he could be a serious force from the inside berth today. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Better known for his AW exploits (7-26) and he's now 0-16 on turf after finishing last at Lingfield following 99 days off; hard to warm to from stall 11. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won on Polytrack in Ireland; three Wolverhampton AW wins for this yard, seemingly suited by the return to 6f when drawing clear in April; respectable efforts on turf either side of a break since (visor discarded latest, blinkers now refitted) and he's relatively unexposed at this trip on the AW so could have some improvement to come. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran three times as a 2yo for Karl Burke before moving to Ireland, where he won a handicap at Dundalk (7f, AW) in March; joined this yard for 6,000gns and finished second at Yarmouth last month (6-5f; 7f); this is a belated first go at 6f but he has shown early speed. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran three times as a 2yo for Karl Burke before moving to Ireland, where he won a handicap at Dundalk (7f, AW) in March; makes his debut for last year's winning stable having changed hands for 6,000gns this month; market useful. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Forced to challenge widest of all last time at Windsor so forget that; she's a consistent maiden but whether she wants slowish ground is questionable (withdrawn the once on account of such conditions). |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent maiden who's had plenty of chances in handicaps and often been turned over at short prices; won't mind being back on turf and tonight's big field should suit her come-from-behind style, though, and she looks set to go well again. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark when regaining winning form at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June and possible to make excuses for her two subsequent defeats; capable of playing a part in the returning blinkers if they go a good pace. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored off reduced mark at Yarmouth (6f, soft) last month and also ran well when third at Newmarket (5f, good) ten days later; suited by his C&D and can make her presence felt again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

Best of his three runs was on debut in a 7f novice at Doncaster; subsequent efforts leave him with much to prove on this handicap debut. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed up well for a fair way before fading into sixth on his debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month but proved disappointing at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; drops in trip and makes his AW debut (out of a Listed winner on the AW) with better needed. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not yet off the mark and he was down the field on turf at Doncaster when last seen in June but he acted well on Polytrack in Ireland and a close third of 12 on Newcastle Tapeta (6f) in May was encouraging; possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
9th 10 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

Is 0-11 but he posted his best effort for Scott Dixon when third of 12 in 6f Newcastle handicap last month; not ruled out back on turf. |

2nd 5 (9) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 6f maiden on Chelmsford Polytrack as a 2yo and he looked a useful prospect when winning a 6f handicap at Newmarket in May 2025; however, he's had more horses in front of him than behind ever since and wind surgery (his second) since last seen in May needs to have made a big difference. |
9/2 |
|
7th 5 (10) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Last win was at Newmarket in May 2025 off 11lb higher; only sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago when 6-4 favourite; steps back up in trip and is so well handicapped on old form that he must be considered. |

0-4 but did shape with some encouragement at Southwell (6f, AW) on his handicap debut 20 days ago after being held up from his wide stall; makes his turf debut and he's open to progress. |
5/1 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 Noble Guest, 20/1 Sams Xpress, 8/1 Von Krolock, 5/2 Methgal, 11/2 Insuspense, 10/1 Court Drive, 10/1 Danger Alert, 10/1 Deadline, 40/1 Woolridge, 5/1 My Mate Kev, 14/1 Kyoto
Verdict
This switch to turf can enable My Mate Kev (second choice) to reverse recent AW placings with Von Krolock, but METHGAL (nap) does not look harshly treated by a 4lb rise for this month’s Windsor win and is taken to follow up. Dylan Cunha’s 4yo could still have more improvement to come for his new stable and Kyle McHugh’s useful 7lb claim adds further appeal. Insuspense and Deadline also have possibilities.[Chris Wilson]
