3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won off reduced mark at Pontefract (6f, good) in June and also has a C&D success on his CV but needs to up his game after three down-the-field turf runs this summer (6f-7f). |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (6f) in June but below par in big-field 6f handicaps at York on his last two runs; this course scorer needs to bounce back on a rare run over 7f. |
9/1 |

Run of in-frame efforts came to an end here two weeks ago but he still ran with more promise than his finishing position suggests; still likely vulnerable at this level. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking a first handicap success; huge chance on his 2024 form but he went the wrong way last season and his return to action at Doncaster last month was uninspiring; he has had a wind operation, his second, since but there are risks attached. |
10/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

A solid run when fourth in this race (good) last year but he struggled subsequently, with slow starts also becoming a feature; handicapped to be competitive if a 174-day break has freshened him up. |

8st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who won at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September before a close call at Wolverhampton the following month; this is tougher back in a Class 2 but he remains well handicapped on his best form and is not ruled out. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Rattled the crossbar on three occasions this summer, missing out by a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) in early July; failed to fire (only sixth) back there three weeks ago and he's probably missed his opportunity for now. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up three consecutive times since returning from short break in June, losing out only by a nose over C&D (good) on second occasion; creeping up the weights but ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

2nd 1 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

C&D winner; runner-up on last two starts, beaten a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) four weeks ago; that form looks solid, with the winner running well in a Class 4 at York subsequently; 1lb higher, but does have Alex Jary's 3lb claim to assist; key player. |

9st 7lb |
Veteran with 18 wins on his CV, including over C&D; last success was from the front at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May but he's been well held in both runs since; bit to prove again but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
6yo who has won three times this season, including over C&D in June and at Hamilton last month; remains well handicapped on his old form but he didn't shine at Thirsk last time and it would be a worry if the forecast rain arrives (all turf wins have been on good/good to firm). |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer and another of these having a good season; close up behind Accrual and Moulin Booj here last time and he's better off at the weights with both. |

Prominent racer; thriving this season, winning three of his last five starts with the latest a cosy success at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he needs serious consideration; stable also runs American Bay. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went close over C&D last month and was a fair fourth at Southwell (first-time cheekpieces) last time; hard to rule out a good run with visor now tried but he's not easy to predict and losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

4th 8 (3) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form since winning off 6lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last May and has a bit to find with Many A Star and Ormolulu on last month's C&D running; application of cheekpieces needs to make a difference. |

Won a local Group 1 in Bahrain in January but got clobbered by the handicapper as a result; slipping back to a more realistic mark but drawn highest and others bring much more pressing claims. |
