20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) in July; ran just as well when a close fourth in the Sprint Cup at Haydock two weeks ago; was well drawn there, however, and her penalty could leave her vulnerable on a rare 5f run. |
6/1 |
|
4th 14 (13) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
5yo mare who made Group-race breakthrough when 33-1 for the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury in July, when she had nearly 2l to spare; unsuited by the return to 7f since and has been supplemented for this race at a cost of £20,000, but nevertheless looks opposable today. |
25/1 |

4th 7 (4) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Began the campaign with two heavy defeats but she was reinvigorated by cheekpieces at York last month and hit a major new high in them in a Group 3 at this track (6f) eight days later, winning at 33-1 by nearly 2l from King's Gamble; fine chance if that form is repeated but, although she ran three times over 7f in 2022, she's not crying out for a return to this trip on the recent evidence. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Hasn't won for a good while now but subsequent Newcastle run confirmed he retains a good chunk of ability and he was drawn wide last time at Chester; appealingly handicapped and enjoys slow ground, so unwise to ignore. |
11/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
On a long losing run but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and his latest Newcastle run confirmed he retains a good chunk of ability, surging to the front 1f out but failing to see out the stiff 7f; this easier test should suit and he can't be discounted. |

11th 1 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

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. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Strong at the finish when repelling stablemate Ramazan in the Great St Wilfrid five weeks ago; no obvious excuse when midfield at York off this mark one week later; stable may have stronger claims elsewhere. |
25/1 |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
He had been bubbling away nicely prior to enjoying his finest hour in last week's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good), digging deep to hold off a smart stablemate; 6lb rise takes him into new territory but he ran well over C&D last month and there could be more improvement lurking. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |
25/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though. |
25/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract. |
5/1 |
|
13th 1 (16) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected. |

Smart operator on AW and although his turf form lags slightly behind, his second at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in July was a cracking effort; ran poorly in the Stewards' Cup five weeks ago and he's 2lb higher today; unwise to rule him out at a track he has run well at in the past. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Best known for his AW exploits but he is fine on turf and has a lower mark in this sphere; went desperately close at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, a race in which the first two pulled clear in the closing stages from a subsequent winner; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he was successful on his only visit to Goodwood; interesting. |

14th 10 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

0-5 at Ripon but he has run well here; back near his best when seeing off 16 rivals at Ayr last month but a subsequent Hamilton run (5f) was underwhelming; still feasibly weighted despite being 1lb wrong but he is another who would make more appeal on a slower surface. |

Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

Had two C&D wins under his belt before finishing close up in the last two runnings of this (both on good to firm); not ideally placed when returned to this track in May but he should have a say again now back on a better mark, 3lb lower than last August. |
