20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a sprint hat-trick last summer and he has repeated the feat this time around, coming here on the back of wins at Ayr, Beverley and Thirsk; up 4lb as he bids for the four-timer; should be in the thick of it again. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won three in a row last season and he's got back on the scoresheet with wins at Ayr (6f) and Beverley (5f, both on good to firm) in his last two starts; has a penalty for his last success but that was a personal best and he's a big player in this hat-trick bid. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins in the second half of last year (various ground; the final one over C&D); he's struggled to get competitive for most of this year but has dropped down the weights and ran well when fourth of 13 at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time; another 2lb lower today and he's one to consider. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Stable's quiet year has seen him plummet down the weights and he is now on an extremely tempting mark; didn't run badly at Sandown four weeks ago and he has run well in all three visits to Newcastle; shortlisted. |

3rd 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class. |
4/1 |

4th 8 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

In good form on AW earlier in the year; unplaced both starts since returning to turf this summer and others have stronger claims. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner here (including over C&D) in 2025; has failed to go on this season though and tongue-tie goes on after a below-par fifth of seven in 5f Nottingham handicap three weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
15/2 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Decent comeback effort off a 3lb higher mark in June but has struggled twice since, losing his unbeaten Ripon record as favourite before finishing a remote last of four latest; something to prove now. |

Multiple C&D winner; ran his best race for some time when third of ten at Beverley last week; major player back on AW. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

5f AW win in April; hasn't reproduced that in four subsequent turf outings but he's back on that last successful mark and has run well here before. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
He has finished runner-up twice this season, including at Redcar (5f, good) off 4lb higher, but he failed to justify support when seventh at Beverley three weeks ago; career-low mark but his modest strike-rate (2-27) tempers confidence and there's a soft-ground query too. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up off 2lb higher at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in June; respectable fifth (Castan sixth) of 12 at Thirsk (5f, good) 12 days ago; enters calculations for last year's winning yard. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

Just one win to his name from 20 starts but he has run well in defeat on his last two starts; more will be needed to take this but he can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A fair 5f winner in 2025; lightly raced this season and he wasn't discredited when fourth of 21 in 6f York handicap 29 days ago; in the picture eased 1lb. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when scoring at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and he has run two solid races in defeat since; well drawn to attack but there are other pace influences on show and his 5f efforts need bettering. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered his second win when scoring over C&D last month off 5lb lower; went close to following up when going down by half a length at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago and may be worth persevering with at present. |

Two wins on fast ground this summer (5f-6f; handles heavy); disappointed as favourite at Carlisle 19 days ago; drawn wide and others have stronger claims. |

7th 6 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Got up late for a C&D win last month and added to his tally at Pontefract (5f, also good to firm) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty demands a bit more from him but he's evidently in good nick. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Surprise winner here three weeks ago, back from a break over 6f (previous wins all came over 5f); a 5lb rise leaves little wiggle room but he saw off a subsequent winner that night and has won back-to-back in the past. |
6/1 |
|
1st 10 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All four wins have been over 5f on AW, including one here; hasn't been at his best this year and returns following a break; best watched. |
