24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |
25/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten on his last 12 starts but has run some good races in the meantime, finishing third in this last year (good) and sixth of 22 in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; could be thereabouts. |
6/1 |

6th 16 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance. |
33/1 |

8th 5 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before neither start since panned out favourably; only ninth in this last year on his only run at Goodwood. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |
|
12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

Has never attempted this far on the AW before, but he has run well over similar trips on turf; losing run of 31 is a concern, though. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
In good form in similar races under under Charli Parker in recent months, following a win at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) with runner-up efforts at Catterick (1m4f, good; Austrian Theory third) and Ripon (1m3f, soft; Spirit Catcher fourth); likely to go well again if a three-day turnaround after Ripon doesn't catch up with him. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
In-form 6yo who won under Charli Parker at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) early this month before a creditable second in another amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off the same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid; cheekpieces reapplied. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Chased home Stellarmasterpiece in this race last year having won a 1m2f amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract 12 days earlier; repeated his win at Pontefract 12 days ago and he should be in the thick of it again. |
