25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Possesses form lines with a number of these, including Maynora, Henriette Ronner, and Popty Ping; 2-2 over C&D (nose win and a dead-heat) and was bang there until the final furlong (fourth) at Doncaster 11 days ago; likely player. |

Still has something to prove on turf but returning to 7f may a have positive effect; 2-3 over this distance, both wins on Newcastle AW. |

9st 8lb |
0-8; involved in some hard-fought finishes over 6f on AW but he probably needs a bit more than a close fifth of five in his first turf handicap, at Catterick in May; ran better than the bare result back on AW last week but still needs to show he's as effective on grass, especially with rain about. |

Ex-Ed Walker; close second in two 6f handicaps on first two runs for Harriet Bethell; 2l last of five at Catterick last time (6f); drop in trip could suit; contender. |

Six-race maiden; promise on AW over the winter but he has suffered two heavy defeats in 6f handicaps (soft and good) this summer; drops in class but there are risks attached. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ought to be open to some improvement at this level but he again failed to conserve his energy on handicap debut at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in July and his challenge was very short-lived; reservations. |
20/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

His two runs this year have both threatened better and this well-bred 3yo moves into handicaps with some potential; he could do with settling better if he is to fulfil it though. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark when winning over C&D last month, but he wasn't helped by a slow start and racing wide on the home turn when a 5l third here nine days ago; stable is in form and he could be worth another chance. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Most of his form has been modest but he has run twice over C&D, finishing second in April and winning last month; not so good at Newcastle last time but the return to Wolverhampton should give him a lift. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won on his handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in September and bounced back from two lesser efforts when third at Ripon (6f, good); below that level having raced freely over 7f last time but should be happier back down in trip. |
10/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 6f nursery at Redcar (good to soft) in September; slow start to this campaign but his third at Ripon (6f, good) was a personal best and the step up to 7f could spark further progress; high on the list. |

Not progressing but he has been more competitive off his reduced mark on his last two starts; others still bring more compelling claims. |

Last win was in a 7f classified event and is probably weighted to her best but she gives her running more often than not irrespective of trip. |

3rd 9 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Doubled her tally when winning a classified event at Ayr (7f, soft) in June before a good second there in a handicap next time; did too much too soon and didn't get home over 1m at Leicester two weeks ago, and this free-going sort could go well now dropping back to 6f. |

Verdict
The most appealing option is SURGEON COMMANDER, who made it 3-7 on AW with a game win at Newcastle in June and is big player again on this drop back in trip. Unexposed Golden Harvest, who looks interesting on his step back up to 6f, is second choice. Soul Warrior and Lope Y Linda are also in the mix, while there are some handicap newcomers who need watching in the market.[David Moon]
