15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
3/1 |

Formerly with Alan King; creditable second at Warwick on latest hurdles start (2m, good) and has since finished third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury; stable debut; each-way chance. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m on good and soft ground in the summer of 2024; looked about ready to strike when second of 12 at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June and now 3lb lower, but modest in both starts since; something to prove attempting this far for the first time. |
16/1 |
|
8th 11 (3) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Absent since having an excuse (track position) when beaten favourite in the Carlisle Bell three months ago; largely consistent otherwise and ran creditably over C&D earlier in June; rebound plausible. |
10/1 |
|
5 (5) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent sort who won three times last year (7f/1m, good/soft) and kept on for second at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) recently; the forecast slow ground is in his favour and he's high on the list for his in-form yard. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Scored twice in 2024 and three times in 2025; back to best when second in useful 1m handicap here (good to firm; acts on soft) last month but only eighth of 11 at Thirsk since and his peak RPRs (including all wins) have been achieved at about 1m. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Scored twice in 2024 and three times in 2025; gradually back to form this season, creditable second in useful handicap at York (1m) most recently; appears to be on his way to regaining the winning thread and looks a must for the shortlist. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 10 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times last year (including on good to firm ground) and he returned to form with 2l fourth of 11 at Newcastle (1m, AW) recently; could build on that latest performance and he might not be far away. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Winner here but that was in 2023 and there's been no win anywhere since July 2024; not far away this summer and he continues down the weights but latest performance (C&D) won't cut the mustard; first-time tongue-tie joins the recent cheekpieces. |
9/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been at 1m including three on Polytrack; well treated on old form and he's run respectably in last two starts but his last win was over two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
7th 10 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On an advancing losing run but he's well handicapped and bubbling under; too free (not for the first time) for a 7lb claimer last time and far from disgraced to finish fourth of eight at Yarmouth; interesting with Cieren Fallon taking over. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runs over shy of 1m for the first time in ages (may well help) on her Tapeta debut; shown enough in three runs for her current, in-form yard to suggest this mark is well within reach; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins for Alice Haynes were on ground slower than good; had lost her way but the signs have been a tad more encouraging for James Owen and she's on a dangerous mark. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Triple winner for Alice Haynes including over C&D; went the wrong way in five runs for Hugo Palmer last season but she reappeared with a creditable third on stable debut at Musseburgh (1m, good) last month; that was off 2lb lower than for her last success and has claims if she can back that up. |

9st 8lb |
Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f at Ayr (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts back at Ayr twice since; this former course scorer enters calculations. |
13/2 |

6th 8 (14) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Already a dual winner for current yard, going in over C&D in July; posted another solid effort with fourth of five over C&D last time; can't be discounted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time turf winner who made 2-6 for Jim Goldie when justifying favouritism over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; respected. |

Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |

1 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance. |
8/1 |

2nd 13 (13) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track. |
