20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple winner in previous seasons; 0-11 this year but is proving consistent, close second returned to AW most recently; remains 1lb below last winning mark; in the mix. |

2nd 3 (1) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of 12 of his 92 starts, the latest success coming at Chelmsford in October off 1lb higher; several good runs to his name this time around and Billy Loughnane replaces a 7lb claimer today; one to take seriously. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Losing run up to 13 and he finished over 4l behind Sonic Si when fifth of seven at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) on Monday; 1-1 here but he needs to do better than that latest effort. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Carlisle (5f) in May but he's been well below par over C&D and at Newcastle since; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 5f Class 5 handicaps in 2026, at this track in February and then when beating Fierce at Carlisle three weeks ago; stable form is a plus but he needs to bounce back from a quiet run at Hamilton. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hit and miss but it was career win number nine when narrowly scoring at Carlisle 17 days ago (5f, good), coming from off the pace; 4lb higher here. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Current wellbeing is an issue as he's performed poorly since his win in January; best known for sprinting exploits. |
33/1 |
|
11th 1 (10) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Two minor 6f wins over the winter; not at his best on last two runs and now returns from 107 days off; drawn wide and others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Useful in his younger days but, while he remains consistent, he's been on the downgrade for a while and has only won one of his last 43 starts; better effort on his second run back over C&D last time and this is a bit easier off a career-low mark. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Now at the veteran stage; may have needed last month's Lingfield reappearance and is back off the same mark as when beaten a head over C&D last September; can make the running; stable also runs Kento. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has run well fresh in the past but is knocking on and may need this after eight months off; doesn't often go beyond 5f these days and is drawn low, so has a bit to overcome. |
12/1 |
