4th 1 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-7 in Ireland but he's been a big improver this season and made it 2-3 for George Scott when completing a double at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was against two rivals but he won in decisive fashion and still looks feasibly treated off 5lb higher; strong contender in hat-trick bid. |

1st 3 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, prevailing by 3l on his second stable start; kept on for close third over 1m3f on his stable debut and there can be optimism that 1m4f will be within range; strong claims up 7lb for last time. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f) in June and it was a grand effort on the book when fourth of five in a Listed race at that venue (1m4f, also good to firm) next time; those efforts haven't been matched on her last three starts, however, including when beaten 14l in a Salisbury handicap last time; drops back down in grade. |
20/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Steadily progressive filly who made the running when taking 1m2f handicaps (good to firm) at Doncaster and Beverley this year; didn't get the breaks at Pontefract last time and this return to 1m4f is no reason to rule her out. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; never got involved at Ripon next time but was clear of the rest when narrowly denied by an improver at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 11 days ago; due to be 3lb higher in future but slow ground would be a concern. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |

3rd 9 (16) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All six wins have been over longer trips, five on the AW at Wolverhampton and the other here in June (1m4f, good to soft); only 2lb higher than for that success but he was below his best on the AW last month and now drops back in trip. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
All five AW wins have been at this track, four of which were over this trip; recorded his first turf success at Doncaster in June and has run well since, which augurs well for this return to AW. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
2-4 for this yard with narrow wins at Ripon (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f); another creditable effort over 1m2f last time; needs to resume improvement, which may be possible as he's just a 3yo but he's not bred for this new trip; it's also his AW debut. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-4 for Clive Cox but 2-3 for this yard after narrow wins at Ripon (1m, good to soft) and over C&D (good to firm); came from off the pace a month ago to collect by a half-length off 5lb lower; well bred, he might well have more to offer. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable veteran who recently completed a hat-trick over 1m2f before disappointing last week at Doncaster; has to bounce back from that, but he should be fine returned to 1m. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth in the Convivial Maiden at York last August when trained by John & Sean Quinn but couldn't build on that on his stable debut at Redcar (7f, good to soft) next time and was tailed off at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; has since been gelded and has cheekpieces applied for his AW/handicap debut. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Promising debut in a traditionally strong York maiden last August (7f, good to firm; trained by John and Sean Quinn); couldn't build on it on a slower surface at Redcar in October (stable debut); remains with potential and this trip should suit on pedigree. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three of his last four, twice over C&D on good to firm; new mark demands a little bit extra, and soft ground would be new to him, but otherwise considered. |

1st 3 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Won a pair of 1m2f fast-ground Class 6s before found wanting in a Class 4 at York; might still be on a realistic mark and this is easier than last time. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last term when trained by Ian Williams; first two runs for this yard, both at Ripon (1m2f/1m; good), were solid but he ran below his best there on soft ground ten days ago; a sounder surface may be preferable. |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner for Ian Williams; sold for 20,000gns last October; third to Poet's Dawn over C&D (stable debut) early last month and runner-up to a progressive rival over 1m here subsequently; highly likely to make presence felt. |

Won a Catterick novice (7f, good) in April; chased home a next-time-out winner at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June in only her second handicap and not seen to best effect (hampered late) when fifth at Redcar (1m, good to firm) since; still unexposed after only five starts and she's in the mix back on AW. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 but placed in two of his four handicaps (1m, good to soft and Tapeta), including a close third at Southwell 11 days ago; stamina not assured but he does at least bring low mileage. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Second on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in May, but he's not gone on from that and was beaten 9l at Nottingham last time; record is now 0-6 and he struggled in his only previous run on AW; bit to prove. |
