29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made a winning debut as a 2yo but beaten on his next 23 starts; revitalised by a drop into Class 5 company though, winning 7f handicaps at Haydock and Doncaster (impressed in a good Topspeed figure); up 7lb for last time but still has some handicapping scope. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m. |
8/1 |
|
8th 5 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a losing run over C&D in July and quickly followed up with comfortable success in 7f Yarmouth handicap 18 days ago; up another 7lb now but very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Had his ideal combination of fast ground and a strong pace when back to winning form at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected if this pans out in a similar way, which looks a possibility. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Leicester (6f) in April; running well since and just edged out when third of 26 in 6f Goodwood handicap 23 days ago; that form is proving very strong, so he merits serious consideration despite 2lb rise. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 12 (16) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; respectable sixth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago but suspicion he'll prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |
40/1 |
|
6th 10 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; today's return to sprinting is in his favour but he's likely to be vulnerable at this level. |

3rd 9 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
He's not consistent but he won over C&D last November and ran really well when second of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; major player if he's once more on song. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 10 (16) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all wins at shorter, including three times off higher marks at Doncaster; however, not disgraced over 8.5f last time and enters calculations back here. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent and hard to win with; better over C&D early in the month but typically failed to build on it at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago (said to have been unsuited by racing wide throughout from stall 9); Dicko The Legend looks his yard's best shot. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Just 3-34 but ran better when third of ten at Southwell (6f, AW) 11 days ago; place possibilities. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

C&D winner in October 2024 and 5lb lower than when last successful, but hasn't lately shaped like a winner waiting to happen (underwent wind surgery before penultimate outing); stable also runs Ottawa. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably at Carlisle most recently; form over C&D comprises a ready win (off 2lb higher) in this contest two years ago and creditable third (off 7lb higher) last August; good chance back here. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three C&D wins; competitive only twice in 2026 but latest instance saw her register a turf win at Ffos Las (1m) 19 days ago; player if backing that up. |
9/1 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Still capable of modest form on occasions last year, including two 1m wins on Southwell AW, but competitive only once (penultimate start) in 2026. |
5/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 1m at Southwell last year; struggled on her first four outings this term but returned to some form when fourth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; needs to build on that. |

Ex-Richard Hannon; not at his best this year and although well handicapped as a result, has plenty to find on recent efforts; tongue-tie now tried. |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was in 2023 but she's lightly raced for a 6yo; ran on late over 5f here two months ago when making AW debut after nearly a year off; if sharper for that, and returning to her winning trip, she should go well. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since 2023 and she's been off the track since beating one in 5f Pontefract handicap 11 months ago; needs to hit the ground running on her Tapeta debut. |
9/1 |

2 (3) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 0-8 in handicaps but has some encouraging form, notably close second over C&D in April; disappointing favourite back here last time and needs to rebound. |

Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |

2 (11) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

9st 6lb |
Sole win over 6f as 3yo; stays 7f but his form seesaws and he didn't do enough when upped to 1m at Southwell recently to fancy for this much longer trip. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win over 6f at Windsor last summer; in and out of form since and this year's efforts have been poor (without and with headgear; none today); hard to enthuse on first 1m attempt. |

12th 7 (8) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Won a 6f Windsor handicap in June 2023 (good to firm); patchy form since and well below form on his only completed start this term; pulled up (jockey thought something was amiss) on latest start; others appeal more. |
