30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won a Chester handicap on heavy ground in September 2024 but mainly below form since (finished last of seven over C&D last week); well handicapped but has plenty to prove. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate over the last four years and current mark reflects a decline in his form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

Went close at Wolverhampton last January and now 8lb lower; however, he's hard to fancy on his recent form and is unproven at this trip. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been on good ground on slower; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in May and has posted two good efforts since, the most recent coming when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; off since but has to be respected. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |

4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |

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. |

Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player. |
6/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four AW wins (all at Wolverhampton) to her name; arrives on the back of a good win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and should be fine at this track; one to consider under her penalty. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW winner in 2025; only eighth of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago, and she's not proving easy to catch right this season. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his first turf win since July 2021 when making all at Carlisle nine days ago (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise for that win looks stiff given he's thoroughly exposed but he's drawn 8 and should be able to grab the rail which has been a huge advantage at recent meetings; key player. |

9st 8lb |
Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |
8/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |
15/2 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |

9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |
|
6 (8) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |
