12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

13th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Four wins at Wolverhampton include this race (off 1lb higher) last year; not solid on recent form but is interesting returned to this venue and back down in grade (3-5 in Class 6). |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Course regular who has registered four wins and five places from 21 starts here, including when scoring over 8.5f in April; has proved his stamina for 1m2f since July and has soft ground form too; may well make an impact. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark for the year at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in April and he has run several good races in defeat since; he should be in the thick of the action once more. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Four wins here and nearly made that five last month on two occasions, since when he's again gone close at Pontefract; likely contender off the same mark as for last two runs. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here on the back of a good second of 12 over C&D in July; this C&D scorer must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Getting on for two years since his last win but this C&D winner has dropped to a tempting mark and he didn't run badly in a stronger race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) six weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb too; high on the list. |

Chased home Ravishing Beauty here (soft) in June; 1lb lower today but that run has been followed by two disappointing efforts; the more rain to fall the better. |
12/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Won twice over 7f last November; comparable form when second at Carlisle (1m, soft) last month; not so good last time and she faces a stiff task at the weights; slower ground ideal too. |

Scored over C&D (soft) just under a year ago and has been in good form lately; close second off today's mark here (7.7f, soft) a week ago and also suited by good ground; likely contender again. |

8st 9lb |
1-19, her win coming at Chester (7.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer in June last year; only modest form for current yard and she doesn't look ready to take advantage of career-low mark now back at 7f. |

25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |
