28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Big improvement on his second start when a runaway winner of Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) last November; well below that form on Southwell reappearance (1m4f, AW) last month, but it's still early days and he looked a useful prospect on his penultimate run; interesting contender on handicap debut. |
4/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Disappointing 6-4 favourite on debut in May 2025 (11.5f, turf); sole race since when putting the record straight in Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) in November, stretching 7l clear in the final 1f; useful prospect on that evidence. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Fair bumper winner; got off the mark on his third Flat start in 7f Carlisle novice in May and not discredited with eighth of 16 in 1m1f York handicap last month; respected on his Tapeta debut. |
9/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Cosy winner of bumper (good) on debut; had wind surgery after a moderate hurdle debut and, following a couple of fair Flat runs, he caught his rivals on the hop when making all over 7f at Carlisle (soft) 26 days ago; has more to prove off his opening mark but should have some potential. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
She remains 5lb higher than for her last win last August but that's because she's been admirably consistent in defeat this year; runner-up at York (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday and she can be bang there. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Largely progressive sort in 2025 (when a two-time 1m2f winner) and she's continued on the up stepped up to 1m4f this season, finishing runner-up twice; the Ed Bethell team is in good form, so she should go well back from a seven-week break. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June, after which he changed hands for 19,000gns; rain would be a bonus but he did trail home last at Hamilton only last week (1m5f) and has a good bit to prove at 1m. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Only one pound higher than when winning at last year's festival; had the same high draw then, so should not be ruled out; has to bounce back from a below-par Salisbury run; previous fourth placings at Doncaster and Thirsk were respectable; had the same high draw last year. |
8/1 |

Gained back-to-back wins, including on soft ground, last summer; couple of respectable fourth-place finishes this season, latest at Thirsk (7f, good); possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |

Already a dual winner for current yard, going in over C&D in July; posted another solid effort with fourth of five over C&D last time; can't be discounted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time turf winner who made 2-6 for Jim Goldie when justifying favouritism over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; respected. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2024; run down late in refitted cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f) in June, and finished third (one place behind Mr Lincoln) over C&D next time; fast ground a plausible excuse for a lesser effort latest; runner-up in this last year. |

Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level. |

10st 13lb |
Has a good 10-34 record on AW but his turf strike-rate is only 2-19; has a lower mark in this sphere but off since finishing last of six at Wolverhampton in March and a watching brief is the percentage call. |
25/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Record of 10-33 on AW features six wins at Wolverhampton, including in this race (off just 1lb lower) last year; close fourth at Lingfield for an encouraging start to his 2026 campaign; fighting chance. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Polytrack maiden win here last winter, when he had them nicely strung out, has been well advertised since; got upset in two runs on dirt at Meydan early in the year and has since been gelded; this task is more realistic in a hood for a yard bang among the winners. |

8st 13lb |
Three-time winner for Karl Burke (5f/7f); ran well at Haydock (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but he was below that level on his next two starts, and was safely held when third of four at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |

Scored three times (5f/7f) last term for previous yard; inconsistent over 1m this season and failed to beat a rival last time but best form gives him a fighting chance off current mark; continues to steadily rise in distance and now has a crack at 1m2f. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Newbury novice (7f, good to soft) for Richard Hannon last September but that was a shock at 125-1 and he's not gone on from that in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he was out the back on recent stable debut at Beverley (first run since gelded) and others are preferred. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
125-1-winner of 7f Newbury novice but he backed it up with a solid third of five in 1m York handicap later in the autumn on his final run for Richard Hannon; gelded/changed hands for 48,000gns since and needs considering for his new yard. |

Betting Forcast
6/1 Sharp Move, 10/1 Freddie Steady Go, 7/2 Nightsinwhitesatin, 25/1 Mehmas Champion, 50/1 High Point, 9/1 Itsneverjustone, 13/2 Pearl Eye, 16/1 Pomme Pomme, 11/2 Pol Roger, 25/1 Arcadian Nights, 20/1 Knight Of Glory, 16/1 Blue To Blue, 25/1 Night Patrol, 5/1 Storm Point
Verdict
Nightsinwhitesatin is solid and seems sure to be on the premises but she has had a few chances from this mark and it might be worth siding with STORM POINT to improve past her now back on going softer than good. The fact Ed Walker’s charge won going away over 1m on good to soft at Newbury suggests today’s extra yardage could suit and the ground may have simply been too quick when seventh back at Newbury since. Last-time-out Ayr winner Pol Roger is next on the list in a contest where several arrive with a point to prove. [Andrew Sheret]
