2nd 5 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Successful in 5f handicaps twice last September having moved to Ed Bethell; beaten favourite on his first three starts this year, including here, but still ran to a useful level; managed to put his head in front, just, at Hamilton (5f, good) 18 days ago and although a 3lb rise didn't look overly generous, the third has won since; still has potential after just nine runs. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Won 5f handicaps at Haydock (good) and here (soft) on his first two runs for Ed Bethell last September; has recorded even better form in defeat this year, notably his close second of 14 in the Gosforth Park Cup (5f) five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced should any of the forecast showers arrive; gets the vote. |

2nd 6 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won 5f handicaps at Haydock (good) and Hamilton (soft) on his first two runs for Ed Bethell last September; beaten favourite in both starts this year, latterly at York six weeks ago which is a strong piece of form; no obvious reason why he won't handle AW and he is one to take seriously. |

3rd 1 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive 2yo/3yo; he has faced some stiff tasks for his new yard this year and has come up short; his sights are lowered here, however, and 6f on fast ground won't faze him; respected now down into a 0-90 with headgear dispensed with. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins at 6f for previous yard but he was far from disgraced when seventh of 28 in 7f Victoria Cup here (good; first-time cheekpieces) in May; drawn on the wrong side when he finished last at the Royal meeting but he's dropped to a handy mark and shouldn't be discounted on this return to 6f. |
20/1 |
|
28th 26 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time 6f winner who ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) in the Victoria Cup over C&D most recently, albeit taking record for current yard to 0-5 and failing to improve for a return to 7f. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has plenty of handicapping experience but better than ever when winning quite convincingly over C&D (good to firm) recently; on a career-high mark against stronger opposition but it's not too late for him to do better. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (6f) in May but he's twice failed to build on it, only seventh of 11 at Ascot (6f) 17 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (13) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two 6f wins last year and registered a third when coming out on top in a good tussle at Yarmouth (good to firm) in late May; up to this grade and caught a little wide when last of seven at Salisbury ten days ago, however. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Unexposed 3yo who ended three-race 2yo campaign for John Ryan with small-field Nottingham novice win (5f, soft) in November; encounters much faster ground and has fitness to prove on stable/handicap debut. |

Won his novice on heavy going last October (5f); placed in three of his four starts this year, most recently behind Emporess over C&D last week; each-way shout again. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy-ground winner as a 2yo; placed twice (5f/7f, good/good to firm) in the spring and faced a stiffer task in Class 3 since; fresh contender who could go well back down in trip/grade. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
She didn't run badly on her seasonal/handicap debut at Redcar in May but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; still relatively early days for her and she shaped with promise in one previous AW start. |
14/1 |

8 (5) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
She didn't run badly on her seasonal/handicap debut at Redcar in May but that has been followed by two disappointing efforts; dropping down the weights but others look more appealing. |
12/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Gave it away at the stalls last time having shown a bit of promise on her handicap debut previously; lightly raced for a yard among the winners and should be suited by the extra furlong, so there are positives. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Having his 15th start of the year already; still 5lb above his last winning mark and although he has won over 1m on the AW, 7f may suit him better. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his fifth success when pulling 4l clear at Lingfield (7f, good) last month and he's finished third in both starts since, including over 1m at Kempton 15 days ago; each-way chance if seeing out this slightly longer trip. |

C&D winner; arrives in form, winning easily over 7f at Lingfield (good ground); solid third at Brighton 12 days ago and returning to 1m is no issue; this is a step up in class though. |

Versatile sort who scored over 5f/6f (turf/AW) last term and ran well over 7f at Meydan in February; however, the assessor has not cut him much slack and he returned from a break with a laboured effort at Chester (first run since gelded) three weeks ago; down the list. |
