5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Given his fine record on slow ground at Goodwood he was thoroughly underwhelming there last weekend, but two days later he bounced straight back to finish second at Epsom (7f, good to soft); might run well again but he's hard to catch right these days. |

On a reduced mark and this two-time C&D scorer can't have the ground soft enough; not at his best at Goodwood on Saturday. |

Without a victory since 2024 and he was retried in a visor when beating one in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are fitted here. |
25/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts this season; this drop back in trip is no problem but he needs a major revival; visor reapplied. |
25/1 |

18th 10 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run stretches back over two years; best effort this year when fifth of eight over 7f at Goodwood (soft) on Sunday, but he'll need more if he's to exploit his reduced mark. |

Effective over C&D and well handicapped on his 2023 form; however, following a mammoth absence this 7yo finished down the field on his three outings last month and others have less to prove. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Coaxed back to his best by the Quinns this year, winning 6f handicaps here and at Chester and then running a fine race in a hot sprint handicap at the Curragh last month; weakened in the closing stages of the Stewards' Cup, a race in which he was 5lb well in, and a personal best is needed to defy this highest mark of his career over the shortest trip he will have tackled. |
18/1 |
|
13th 25 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Beat his 21 rivals at York in May and added a handicap at Chester (6f, good) last month; ran a fine race behind Sondad at the Curragh two weeks ago and is 7lb better off for half a length this time; officially the best handicapped horse in the race (5lb ahead of his mark) and another big run should be forthcoming. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (20) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Richard Hannon; off the mark for the Quinn team when making virtually all in a 22-runner handicap at York Dante meeting (6f, good); bounced straight back from a lesser run at Thirsk when second at Ripon; made all for a 6f Chester win three weeks ago; stable won this with Mr Wagyu in 2022. |

Dictated the pace and ran out an easy winner in a 7f handicap at Newmarket in June; well held twice since and he looks high in the weights. |

7th 2 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who ended a long losing run with a dominant display over C&D (good) last month; struggled on his return visit three weeks ago but that was the Bunbury Cup and he remains well treated on his old form; respected on this big drop back in grade. |
6/1 |
|
12th 14 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Has gradually come to hand for new stable and made all, unchallenged, over C&D (good) most recently; 3lb ahead of the assessor under a penalty but another easy lead isn't certain; back up two grades. |

Has some fairly useful form on his CV but was largely disappointing for Nikki Evans last summer and has finished well down the field on both starts for new stable this year (7f/1m); revival needed. |

Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |
9/1 |

10th 12 (7) |
4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who won off this mark on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) last month; two reasonable performances have followed (1m/1m2f, good to firm/good) but he needs something extra to come out on top today. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has been around the block and mostly seen on the AW these days; he did win on debut for this yard at Ripon (1m, good; by a head) but then finished last at Sandown four days ago; unplaced in one previous run here. |
11/1 |

5th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Probably better known for his AW exploits nowadays but he led close home to cause 28-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Ripon (1m, good), his ninth career success; nudged up only 1lb for that and is a rare runner here for his Middleham-based trainer; respected. |

9st 1lb |
Four-time winner who can be slowly away; made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) off 5lb lower in January and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last time; up in grade now back on turf and this smaller field probably isn't ideal for him due to his hold-up style, but he holds place claims. |
