Two turf wins (in blinkers/cheekpieces) for previous yard; ran poorly, minus headgear, on debut for new stable but may rebound with visor now applied; not disgraced in sole AW attempt. |

1st 6 (4) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month and beat three rivals to follow up over this C&D (good to firm); not written off after just one lesser run but he was only sixth of eight behind Alfa Whiteburd over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago and has to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Goes well here and arrives seeking a hat-trick after wins at Catterick and over C&D (readily latest; both good to firm); carries penalty but on last week's evidence that may still not stop him. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |
|
5 (6) |
14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
5 (5) |
26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Now 10lb below the mark he defied over C&D last June but recent efforts don't obviously suggest he's ready to take advantage. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-22, the win coming in a three-runner Chepstow maiden (5f, good to soft) for Nigel Tinkler in August 2024; well beaten in two starts since returning for this yard in May; little appeal. |
50/1 |
|
14th 9 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from 21 starts and that was in a maiden in August 2024; has dropped a long way in the weights but he generally struggled for Nigel Tinkler last year and was last of ten on recent stable debut at Newcastle (7f, AW); visor is now added. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Speedy mare but has done all of her winning on turf, albeit she has only had five opportunities on AW; back to her last winning mark but will be vulnerable to late closers. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner but unraced here; had the cheekpieces back on when always close up to finish second at Beverley last time out; same mark and no excuses on the draw front. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Notched her third Catterick win (6f, good) in April, since when she's been a bit below par with three fourth places; handles the 5f course here but needs a revival. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has won twice over 6f at this track but has winning form over 7f; hasn't been at her best on turf this summer and needs a resurgence on this return to AW. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Last-gasp winner on AW at Lingfield (7f) in February but she's struggled since and was last of six at Catterick two weeks ago; that took her turf record to 1-23 and she has plenty to prove back at this trip. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In good form on AW over the winter, winning at Wolverhampton (6f) and Lingfield (7f); 1lb lower than for the latter win but she hasn't maintained her form back on turf this summer, including behind Velvet Rhythm over C&D 16 days ago. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Punished for his win in a weak C&D maiden last November and the handicapper has been in command this year; more realistically treated again now but this won't be an easy race in which to try and dominate. |
16/1 |
|
9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Limited impact in handicaps since winning a four-runner C&D maiden in November and he let his many supporters down when flopping on return visit here last time; continues to fall down the weights so interesting to see if his backers return. |
