30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Followed a Bath maiden win (firm) with an impressive return to handicap company at Haydock (5f, good to soft) in May; saddle slipped when down the field later that month and he's been gelded since; 7lb higher mark than at Haydock may not be too much to ask and he's one of the more interesting ones. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No Nay Never colt who arrives on the up, getting off the mark in 5.5f Bath maiden before coming home really strongly to follow up in 5f Haydock handicap eight days ago; up 7lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Not at her best in a Class 3 at Windsor last month but that was 6f and this drop back in trip should help; wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off this mark though. |
14/1 |

11th 8 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent filly who is going from strength to strength this year, comfortably seeing off five rivals in a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Bath last month; a 7lb rise in a stronger race demands another step forward. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner early last season who confirmed her liking for an easy 5f when going in again at Lingfield (AW) last October; off since an ordinary comeback in the spring and may need some help from the handicapper (4lb above her last successful mark). |
12/1 |

9th 9 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has rather mixed record this season but was back in good form when dominating from the front over C&D a week ago, and a recent 5lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again. |
4/5 |

1st 4 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Returned after a gelding operation with a win at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March but he's been generally disappointing since; now 11lb lower than for his win but he struggled at Doncaster last time and is untried on Polytrack; down the list. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Largely consistent 4yo who won readily under Olivia Haines at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race here but ought to give another good account. |
2/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D last summer and was a creditable second in a Class 4 at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw but he's 1lb lower than last time and is a big player if he can repeat that form. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 2lb |
Has come into his own in 5f handicaps for this yard, looking ahead of his mark when winning cosily at Newbury (good to firm) latest, despite hanging away from the whip; has a much stiffer task in this company but his dam won this race for the stable in 2020 when wearing first-time cheekpieces, as her son does today; just out of the weights but intriguing. |
14/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On the up for new stable this year, fourth at Windsor on his return in May before getting off the mark in a Class 6 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; still looked to be learning his job on that occasion and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond him; apprentice rider Harry Vigors making a big name for himself; lots to like. |

Betting Forcast
5/1 Noble Vow, 6/1 Toolatetonegotiate, 12/1 Forager, 7/4 Wyle Cop, 7/2 Diomed Duke, 5/1 Truly Glamorous
Verdict
The drop to this trip and switch to Polytrack has brought about improvement from WYLE COP, who can defy a 7lb rise and complete a C&D hat-trick. Toolatetonegotiate can never be ruled out round here, but Diomed Duke has to prove he can do it on the AW.[Graham Wheldon]
