22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close over C&D last week in a race he won two years earlier; now 3lb higher and they claimed 5lb last time, so may need more. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He was 4lb lower when beating Strike to take this race in 2024; could only finish fifth last year but he took advantage of a reduced mark to score at Redcar (6f, good to firm; First Folio fourth) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but he should be thereabouts. |

Conditions to suit and he ran his best race of the year when third over C&D in May; beaten twice since but he is being given a chance by the handicapper. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |
25/1 |
|
17th 9 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); well beaten at Thirsk 24 days ago, however, and this is a deeper race. |
40/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Went close on his seasonal return at Pontefract in June (6f, good to firm); backwards steps since then and losing run looks set to continue. |

5th 4 (9) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

It's now 20 starts since his last success and he arrives out of sorts, sixth in 6f Ayr handicap 29 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Easily capitalised on a reduced mark at Chester (7f, good) last month and he's made all over this C&D on both starts since (good to firm); this 5yo is up to a career-high mark but has never been better and could prove tough to catch once more. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has won back-to-back starts at Chester (7f, good) and here over C&D (good to firm) under a penalty latest; up 7lb and in grade so this will be tougher but he enters calculations. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |

A four-time 6f AW scorer in 2025; built on earlier promise to gain a first turf victory in 7f Chester handicap a week ago, making all and drawing right away last 1f for 8l success; major shout under a 5lb penalty. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed signs of a revival when fourth in a handicap at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) and a slow start was no help at Chester (stays 7f); only 2-35 but he's not without a chance. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone. |

9st 7lb |
Has won on firm but seems suited by some give in the ground these days; sound run when about 3l fourth at Haydock last time on first run at this trip (good to soft); on a really good mark at present and one with a chance. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time 5f winner who continues to drop down the weights and has shown the odd sign of spark this season; however, it's been a disappointing campaign overall and she's going into the unknown now tackling 7f. |

10st 0lb |
Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface; regressive since starting his Irish career promisingly with a second placing at the Curragh in the spring; hard to fancy having finished in rear when partnered by Colin Keane last time. |

Just one win since October 2022 but that was off 6lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) last May; had just one run this season but he caught the eye with his late headway at Wetherby (5.5f) in April and has possibilities back up in trip. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

C&D winner but likes the stiffer finish of Hamilton and got a tad outpaced before running on over C&D last month; however, she's closely matched with the winner Night Emperor and has to enter the reckoning. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

4/1 |

13th 1 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Fair run on her stable debut/reappearance in April but she took a backward step at Catterick in May; absent since and improvement is required but her best RPR came on good to firm, a surface she's only tackled once. |
