9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Last five wins have come on the AW including when completing a hat-trick in the spring; has winning form on good to firm ground, but his last two efforts since returning to turf need improving upon. |
14/1 |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him. |
20/1 |

10th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Scored five times last year, including last two attempts in Class 5; far from solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may prompt a resurgence off a reduced mark; market support would heighten interest. |
9/2 |

7th 12 (5) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Had a bumper time of things last year but hasn't come close to the same level in 2026; well handicapped (despite being 2lb out of weights) but leap of faith needed. |
33/1 |

19th 15 (22) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Had a bumper time of things last year and although he hasn't been at his best in 2026, his handicap mark is tumbling; will be of major interest back on testing ground but the drying forecast isn't optimal today. |

2nd Aug 2023 Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from eight starts but he bounced back with a close third at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; raised his form to a new level with that bold bid and he's a key player if he can back that up off the same mark; cheekpieces added. |

21st Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Disappointing at Redcar (1m, good) four weeks ago but in good form previously, with a novice win at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) then a handicap third at Leicester (1m, good to firm), and he's not ruled out. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Good course record, with four wins (three at 7f) and a second from eight starts; caught wide when he ran poorly over C&D last month but it was a step back in the right direction when fifth at Thirsk a fortnight ago, and he's down to the mark he won a 6f course handicap from in May; draw not overly helpful but he's considered. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A three-time 6f/7f winner in the first half of 2026; caught wide throughout when last of nine in 7f Catterick handicap four weeks ago and no surprise to see him bounce back here. |
11/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three course wins in the first half of the year, the latest (6f, good) off a 3lb lower mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts but a revival wouldn't be a great surprise. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Generally very consistent last season and was back in peak form when scoring in refitted blinkers at Windsor (1m, good) this month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but can still pose a threat; often leads. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (12) |
15th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Fair fifth at Newmarket in May, before a lesser show 11 days ago; peak 2023 efforts (one C&D) came when blinkers were enlisted on last five starts and they now return for the first time this season; one to note. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (9) |
1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ran respectably at Chester returned to turf last time; he's 0-8 this year but remains favourably treated, being 6lb below last winning mark; three-time C&D scorer. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

On a losing run but he arrives in decent nick, sixth of nine in 7f Chelmsford handicap 50 days ago; one to consider after a break. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A five-time AW winner, he shaped as if in need of the run when fourth on his first turf Flat run since 2023 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last month; this should put him right for an AW campaign this autumn. |
9/1 |

4th 12 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
AW regular whose only turf run since 2023 was over hurdles; gave good account when midfield in valuable Lingfield handicap (1m4f) on Good Friday but doesn't look the percentage call on first start for 169 days. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip. |

Recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; respectable third on similar surface at this course (1m1f) most recently; has slipped back to an attractive mark and enters calculations. |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |

Similar type to Junkanoo, having recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; not disgraced over 1m1f three starts back; on a workable mark and looks one to consider. |

Dual C&D winner but has trailed in last on two most recent starts; has had his second wind op since and difficult to place too much faith in. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner whose most recent win was at Kempton (1m, AW) last October off 1lb lower; not so good in his only four races since; absent 187 days before his last of 12 at Sandown four weeks ago, so he's a touch speculative this time. |
20/1 |

Front-runner who won at Kempton (1m, AW) last October; however, this 8yo wasn't at the top of his game at Southwell (1m, AW) in January and he may improve for this first outing since. |

Debut winner in France but hasn't added to tally since and disappointing in Britain; has tumbled in the weights and bit better last time but needs to raise game further if he's to win. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

0-13 since making a successful debut in France as a 3yo and hasn't finished within 11l of the winner in his last seven starts (visor fitted last time, now removed); easily opposed back from four months off. |
