6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition. |
4/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resurgent 7yo who completed a 7f Carlisle double on Monday and has now won five times this year; has 4lb penalty to carry but he won't mind if the ground eases; commands respect in current mood. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time AW winner but not since March 2024, and his turf strike-rate is 0-28; probably worth another crack at 7f but has been out of form over sprint trips for a good while now; considered only if lively in betting. |
25/1 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won six times on AW in the first part of 2024 but there hasn't been much to cheer about since; 0-27 on turf but has run well over C&D and the forecast rain won't bother him; still too much to prove for comfort. |

Proved resurgent with close third at Newcastle most recently; this five-time AW scorer remains well treated on best form; in the mix. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Conditions no problem but only ninth behind a couple of these over C&D last week and he'll be 2lb lower from the weekend; type to come good again soon. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win 12 months ago came off an 8lb higher mark; pick of this summer's form gives him claims but he has suffered heavy defeats on his last three starts; too much to prove for now. |

Last win was over C&D in May 2024 off 2lb higher mark; mainly kept to AW since and can start slowly; would hold claims if back on song. |

25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |

Below par the last twice but those were over 6f, and fast ground may not have suited last time; ran well in defeat twice in a row over today's C&D (good) in July and could bounce back to form now back up in trip. |
