Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

Seven times an AW winner, twice over C&D; back to his last winning mark and Jack Mitchell takes over from a 7lb claimer; one to take seriously. |

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a solid fifth of 12 in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up once more. |

9st 9lb |
Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |

Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only turf win was at Yarmouth on his debut in 2019 (6f, good to firm); best runs this season have been over 6f/7f here, including last time when 2.5l fourth over 6f; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive since returning from almost a year off and has struggled in a couple of runs back on turf (said to have been restless in the stalls last time); this is easier than he's used to, dropping back from 7f, but he has it to prove now. |
10/1 |

Winless since 2024 but he took a step back in the right direction with fourth of ten in 7f Doncaster handicap last month; needs considering off a 2lb lower mark with Eireann Cagney up. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |
5/1 |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives in very good form without winning, a clear second of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 25 days ago; drawn wide but this course winner merits serious consideration with Oisin Murphy back up. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won two fast-ground C&D handicaps last season, both off higher marks than today's; threatening a win in recent starts and Jack Callan takes off a handy 3lb; unraced on slower than good ground. |

Ended a losing run in 7f AW Lingfield handicap eight days ago; had a bit up his sleeve there so is very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had a very good spell in the first half of 2022, with four front-running wins at 7f on AW and turf (good and soft), but not yet found her form this year; highly tried last time out and return to 7f will suit but an about-turn needed. |

21st Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Usually goes forward; had a productive first half of 2022, winning four times over 7f on turf/AW, but well below par in both outings this year 12 weeks apart (had wind surgery in between); others much more obvious. |

0-13 on AW as opposed to 4-22 on turf; placed at Newcastle in May on last AW start; current wellbeing has to be taken on trust after two heavy defeats on turf. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started this season with good thirds at Newcastle (1m, AW) and Doncaster (1m, good) but he missed the break and finished in rear at Carlisle last time; bit to prove again after that and he's won only once in last 20 starts. |
10/1 |

Won at Beverley last season (8.5f, soft); two creditable runs this time, last time finishing a close third at Doncaster (1m, good); each-way chance. |
