28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on the Flat a couple of years ago and won a small-field maiden hurdle last month, after a layoff; weakened into fourth after making most of the running on recent handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) but still considered. |
7/2 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Quite useful on the Flat and returned from a long absence to win a small-field maiden at Newton Abbot a month ago (2m2f, good to firm); difficult to gauge what he achieved there but brings potential into handicaps off what should be a good mark. |
7/2 |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best and made the frame in two maiden hurdles in April 2025 (both 2m, good); this is his first run since and he doesn't set a daunting form standard but, nevertheless, he's a big player. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Was having only his second AW start when successful at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last October and was back off the same mark when third of nine in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month; still unexposed in this sphere and one to consider back from a short break. |

Trip, track and ground are all fine; no threat at Thirsk last week but that was 1m and this trip is more suitable; each-way shout. |

Has done most of her racing and winning over 1m2f; back in better form the last twice but isn't crying out for this drop back in trip, especially on a sharp track. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Proven winner who's turned in two solid efforts for Tom Kiely-Marshall lately, backing up his Newcastle win off 5lb lower with a second on turf (again from the front); hard to discount him in current form. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ten career wins divided between turf and the AW; well on top last time at Newcastle under Tom Kiely-Marshall but back up 5lb and it's been over two years since he defied a mark in the 70s. |
3/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Latest of his nine wins was over C&D in February off a 1lb higher mark; that helps show that he needs a second look, despite mixed fortunes since. |

Ex-Alan King; has won twice on 9.5f on AW and once over 6f on turf (good); hasn't recaptured his form since a 611-day break before this season; others have stronger claims. |

8st 9lb |
1-19, her win coming at Chester (7.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer in June last year; only modest form for current yard and she doesn't look ready to take advantage of career-low mark now back at 7f. |

12th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Outsider of five on debut at Ascot last year but managed second before drifting to 22-1 at Chelmsford and finishing well beaten; dropped back to 1m and ran okay on first outing for 333 days at Windsor last month; drawn widest but market revealing on handicap debut. |
14/1 |

6th May 2024 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Second of five in maiden at Ascot (1m2f, soft) in May 2023 was fair form, but she finished well behind at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in June; races freely and wore a hood last time; absent 333 days but not entirely dismissed. |
