2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing run but he signalled he is ready to strike again when an unlucky-in-running third of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap a week ago, twice hampered in the straight; big shout off an unchanged mark. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 2-43 with his sole success in Britain coming over 9.4f here; has finished runner-up in five of his seven starts over C&D and is lower in the weights than for all of them; capable of making some sort of impact. |

10st 8lb |
Ex-Irish; 0-13 overall and, after nearly a year off, she's been well held in three starts for this yard, including a couple of heavy defeats; has received wind surgery. |
20/1 |

11th 5 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Irish; 0-12 overall and, after nearly a year off, well beaten on both starts for new stable (22-1 and 28-1); the positives are that she's down the weights and steps back up from 1m1f/1m for this AW debut. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Ripon winner last summer who's regressed and run below market expectations on last two starts; this is easier off a career-low mark (9lb lower than when last successful) but he could have done without the recent rain. |
7/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Two wins at Ripon over 1m last year (good/good to firm); respectable fourth of nine at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May but he's yet to build on that in four starts since; others look stronger. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just fair efforts on turf lately, but is 7lb lower than when winning over C&D in April last year and returns to the AW for the first time since beaten a head off 4lb higher back here in May; interesting. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His three turf wins have come around here so that's a positive and twice finished second this year; possibilities back here from a handy draw. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hit the target for the first time when fending off Mercurius Power over C&D (22-1; from 4lb lower) in July; last of eight back on turf at Hamilton (1m1f) subsequently; returning to this track (1-2 on AW) could still prove beneficial. |

8th 4 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 15th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m, AW) a week ago; now needs to show he can do it back on turf from 4lb higher and also still has stamina to prove. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just a single win to her name but showed more on her first crack at this trip at Ayr a fortnight ago, when going off hard in front and only letting Hostelry past; 4lb better off with that one today and this course should suit her style; player. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Made the frame in 7f Musselburgh handicap in June but has not been firing on all cylinders this year and is not yet proven over 1m. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in June who didn't quite see it out over 1m1f here last time; not the easiest and often misses the break but a big field at this slightly lower level looks ideal; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won off basement mark here in June and doubled tally in Ayr classified (also 1m, good) last month; further progress is not out of the question but he has more on his plate today and was soundly beaten in recent Ayr handicap won by Samra Star. |

8st 9lb |
0-11 but gave it a good shot from the front when third at Carlisle (nearly 7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, after a seven-month break, and has possibilities here if that run brought her on. |
12/1 |
|

Modest maiden who wasn't at her best on AW over the winter; back from a break with cheekpieces left off. |

8st 7lb |
Last turf win in May 2022; been running okay this year without really threatening to win; stayed on strongly for third from out of the clouds at Bellewstown on Tuesday but 8lb wrong here so probably up against it. |

Last turf win in May 2022; been running well without threatening this year before two poor runs in June; now with his owner after almost three months off; best watched. |
