11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Arrives in top form after a 7f win at Kempton and two second places over 6f; hard to knock and should be thereabouts. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced on soft; 2-14 on the AW (wins over 7f) compared to 0-11 on turf but it was a good effort when second of ten at Newmarket (6f, good) 24 days ago; contender if handling conditions. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained last three wins on AW, including latest start; effective on turf but has never won away from Leicester in this sphere; something to prove back up in grade. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap in April but he beat only two home back there eight days later; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back. |

18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not much luck round Chester since switched to blinkers, being drawn wide in June and then having his jockey lose an iron soon after the start last time; is 3lb lower than when winning a Polytrack nursery last October; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5th 11 (1) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last October; hasn't progressed this year, with newly applied blinkers seemingly not yielding initial improvement over 6f here (good; sixth of 12) last month; 2lb lower, and much better drawn on this occasion, so can potentially sit handier; possibilities. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Caused a 40-1 surprise when scoring at Lingfield (7f, AW) last October but he's not gone on from that and has been beaten 7l on Tapeta and turf in last two runs; continues to edge down the weights but he needs new headgear to make a difference back at this trip. |

15th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth in two of his four starts last year including on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded), but a well-beaten last of eight on his Wolverhampton return (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Track regular who added a second C&D win to his record on good to soft three weeks ago; handicapper handed him an 8lb rise but that looked a career best and he can never be discounted at this venue. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started favourite on his first nine starts last year, winning two of them, both off lower marks; hit traffic over an inadequate 5f on his comeback a few weeks ago, which will ensure he's popular once again for a yard also responsible for Cairdeas. |

9st 8lb |
0-10 since debut win over 7.4f in June 2023; only eighth of 13 here (7f) last month and now runs in a sprint for the first time; David Allan jumps ship; others preferred. |

0-9 and unable to threaten in the main since debut win in June 2023; however, off this reduced mark she dead-heated with Dandy Lichious for second of 14 on recent reappearance at Catterick (7f, good; albeit no match for winner) and she's on the shortlist. |

11th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 6f 150y |
10st 1lb |
Six-time AW winner; scored for the first time on turf in a 6f handicap three starts ago; fair sixth at the same venue on his next start, but in rear in the apprentice race won by today's rival Monastere ten days ago. |
12/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Six-time AW winner scored for the first time on turf when winning over C&D last week; raised 9lb for that but a decent claimer takes off 7lb so that helps; not the best draw but still a big player. |

8st 10lb |
15-race maiden; coped well with the step up to this trip when a close fourth over C&D last week; that wasn't a searching examination of her stamina but this might not be either and she's one to consider. |
