Both wins came over 6f on soft ground in 2024, but he's mostly struggled at big odds since the latest of them; best watched for now. |

Produced one of his better efforts in last C&D attempt but is by no means sure to reproduce it, being far from consistent; yet to win on AW. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner who has finished runner-up in three of her last four starts, including at Catterick (5f) last week; should be in the mix again and she won't mind what the weather does. |

2nd 10 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Eight-time winner; bounced back from a lesser effort when second over C&D nine days ago but she was 4l behind Our Absent Friends; this is tougher. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
She is enjoying a good campaign and today's return to Class 5 company is in her favour; she has run well over C&D in the past and a big run looks on the cards from a handy draw. |

5th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Cashed in on her reduced mark when scoring at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but she won off higher last term and warrants consideration. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the frame a couple of times earlier this season and she's well handicapped on that form, but her last three performances haven't come up to scratch and she needs to raise her game. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner; form dipped at Thirsk four weeks ago but she's the type to bounce back quickly; can get it wrong at the start but she is still more appealing than many. |
4/1 |
|
13th 1 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order. |
