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. |

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. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
C&D winner; runner-up on this card 12 months ago; having a solid campaign but surprising if he was up to winning. |
33/1 |

9th 10 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who was knocking on the door prior to making all in fine style at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 4lb higher in a tougher race today, but is clearly in good heart and is a two-time winner at Thirsk; could go well. |
11/1 |

Back in form with three placed efforts this summer; the latest one took his C&D record to 1113; this front-running 8yo remains just 1lb above last winning mark; solid chance. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
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. |
50/1 |
|
7th 4 (13) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |

Landed a 5f Bahrain handicap in January but has struggled since; the handicapper is starting to relent but others are still preferred. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

On a tough mark after a big-race win in Bahrain in January; no impact in two runs this month and he is due to be 3lb lower from the weekend. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer who made it three wins in his last five starts when making all at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Friday; it's over three years since he defied a mark this high but he has to be respected in his current mood. |

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
It's now 16 outings since her last victory but she comes here in good order, fifth of 11 at Ripon (6f) last month; she's one for the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
27th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Beaten on her last 15 starts going back to May 2022 but has often run really well in the interim, including when going close in this last year (good) and when runner-up here (5f, good) three weeks ago in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces (both retained); also effective on slow ground; player. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Impressed on his first attempt at 6f, making all to beat 12 rivals at Nottingham in July; not ideally drawn in either run since and he isn't fully exposed as a sprinter just yet; cheekpieces are now added. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
27th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in good style at Nottingham (6f, good) last month on second start back from an absence and first crack at sprinting; failed to back that up at York but didn't run badly and this very lightly raced 5yo retains potential for his powerful connections; no surprise to see a bold show. |
9/2 |
|
8th 3 (11) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who delivered a career-best when dropped to 6f (good ground) at Nottingham three weeks ago, always prominent and strong at the finish; a 7lb rise for that win doesn't look generous but he still has potential at this trip. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Trainer won with three of his last five runners coming into today, all three doing it easily, two at big prices; this triple AW winner has shown enough since returned to turf to suggest he can be a factor at this level. |
11/4 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has run some fair races in defeat for his new stable but he is essentially regressive; surprising if there weren't a few stronger in today's field. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner; 0-5 for new stable since February but put in a good front-running shift before fading into fourth behind No Gain here (7.6f, good) last month; each-way claims if handing the forecast slower ground. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won twice over 6f with cheekpieces for Kevin Ryan in 2023; mainly disappointing since and well beaten on the Flat (1m/1m2f) this year; hurdles debut; others look stronger candidates. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
He had been upset in the stalls when unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut in June but made no mistake when making all under Silvestre De Sousa at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; 8lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he's of firm interest. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins came over 6f in 2023 and 2024 when trained by Tim Easterby; no joy in four starts for David Loughnane and steps back to 5f on his stable debut; on a career-low mark and market watch is advised. |
