5th 2 (6) |
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. |

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. |

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. |

Course winner (9.5f) but losing run up to 20 and rarely seen over this far; look elsewhere. |

6th 9 (3) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2023 but he ran a big race at a big price when third in classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) last month; that was eyecatching from off the pace and he has each-way claims again if he can repeat that form. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (9) |

Winless since 2023 and he beat only one after six months off in 1m2f classified event at Chelmsford ten days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |

13-race maiden; good second with a first-time visor (retained) at Newcastle last time (1m); chance on that form, but unproven at 1m2f (well beaten on last run over C&D) and fast ground a concern. |
6/1 |

Yet to get his head in front but he wasn't discredited when sixth of ten in 1m Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; cheekpieces go on now and he's one to consider off a falling mark. |

On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit. |

4th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

Fair fourth at Leicester in June (1m4f, good); well beaten since; a pound out of the handicap; others stronger. |

13th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Started out in bumpers; easily best of his three runs in handicaps came when fading into fourth of eight here (1m4f, good) on penultimate start but others have far more solid claims. |
16/1 |

9th 5 (11) |
21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Started out in bumpers and was well held in his first six starts but he shaped with promise when a fading fourth in a Leicester handicap (1m4f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and could be dangerous if he can build on that back in trip; all of his turf runs have been on good/good to firm. |
