5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Now 8lb lower than when winning at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last November; he has shown enough this year to think he retains a good portion of his ability; should go well. |
6/1 |

9th 7 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended 2025 with 7f Newcastle victory and he's back in very good form of late, third of 14 in 1m handicap at Redcar a week ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both AW wins have been here (1m/7f) and he suffered a near miss at Southwell (7f) last time; unlikely to be far away. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both AW wins at Newcastle (1m and 7f) but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in March; has had ups and downs since but he came from well back when fourth of ten to Gunfighter over C&D recently; place chance. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has run well in two of her last three races, last time dictating a modest pace at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); came up short there but has to be feared here. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled her tally over C&D in June and was right back on song when close second at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but has a point to prove after weakening quickly on AW a fortnight ago. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced here and three of his four wins have been at Kempton where he was a running-on fourth last time over 7f; won't mind returning to 1m and he has competitive turf form on slow and fast ground. |
7/1 |
|
4th 11 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
His three AW wins have all been at Kempton including two over C&D; made the breakthrough on turf at Yarmouth in May and he's run respectably there in his last two starts; now goes back up in grade but he's not ruled out back on Polytrack. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Wide-margin turf win in April flanked by two AW defeats as favourite; perhaps the return to turf will help but he is creeping back up the weights. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't win often but is down to a career-low mark and is used to doing his racing in better company; has often run well here without winning and showed more back on Tapeta last time, so there are positives on the return from a short break. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here at 1m who has also been involved in tight finishes over C&D, most recently in January; this will probably take more winning though and he needs more than he's shown on his last two turf starts. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

No further progress since his successful yard debut over Hamilton's extended 1m in May and others look on better terms with the handicapper. |

All four AW wins have been at this track; steps up in distance and holds claims if he gets the trip. |
9/1 |

5th 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Has four wins at this track, mostly over today's distance; 3lb higher than his last success in March but cannot be dismissed here. |

Low-key return to turf at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should be well treated but he comes with risks attached. |
25/1 |
|
14th 11 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but he has slipped a long way in the weights; absent since a poor run at Newcastle (7f) in February; headgear absent for his return and dropping back to 6f isn't sure to suit. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Showed clear promise in novice/maiden events for Andrew Balding in the spring but he's struggled at big prices in three handicaps for current yard; still unexposed but he needs a transformation with tongue-tie added. |

Ex-Irish; 0-8 but his stable debut was promising enough; took a backwards step tried in headgear at Thirsk two weeks ago; others appeal more. |
33/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-6 in Ireland with one notable effort; joined this yard for 5,500gns and made a positive start when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); now goes in cheekpieces and his best Irish run was in blinkers. |

Landed the odds with an emphatic win on handicap debut here (1m, good) in May; placed in two of his three runs since including when runner-up under a prominent ride at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month; now returns to sprinting but he's still lightly raced and could make another bold bid. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner who doubled his tally when grabbing the favoured stands' rail here 12 days ago; prevailed by only half a length and has a 5lb higher mark today (also had claimed 3lb off his back last time); perhaps vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Won over 7f at Wolverhampton in May and close up in next two races, at 1m and 7f; finished last at Lingfield 12 days ago but that was over 6f. |

Betting Forcast
6/1 Nyman, 6/1 Anthropologist, 12/1 Bella Bisbee, 7/1 Berry Clever, 12/1 Caragio, 12/1 Feel The Need, 33/1 Little Miss India, 9/1 Quiet Resolve, 25/1 Serious Look, 16/1 Tolstoy, 6/1 Celtic Chariot, 40/1 Clatford, 8/1 Wield, 40/1 Shadow Run, 7/1 Masaban, 12/1 Espona Bay
Verdict
With the tongue-tie retained, WIELD may well build on his latest effort and get off the mark, while at the same time giving the recently retired Joe Fanning a successful return to the saddle. Anthropologist, an in-form contender whose rider Sammy Jo Bell has a great record in this race, is second pick ahead of last year's third Quiet Resolve and consistent Berry Clever.[Steve Boow]Selections
