2nd 2 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
2-5 over C&D; scrambled home to justify favouritism from Operation Gimcrack (runs in first division) in this last year; placed numerous times since, including at Yarmouth (7f; 10-1) on penultimate start; slow start scuppered chance latest. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Both turf wins have been over C&D on good to firm, the latest last August; close third to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time (7f, good to firm) and has a fair chance here. |

Both wins on turf have been at Doncaster (7f) on good to firm; close third of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but ran below his best when last seen 147 days ago; break may have done him some good. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |

2nd 20 (17) |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Often a front-runner; returns to turf for the first time since winning a 0-60 handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last July but he does appear to face a difficult task on these terms. |

Won four times over 6f here early in the year to take his career total to ten; none of those victories came when fresh, though, and he returns from six months off looking high in the weights. |

9st 7lb |
Newcastle win this time last year came off a 7lb higher mark; well backed on the drop to this company at Carlisle a few weeks ago, when faring much better, and is one to consider (likely to be dropped in as usual from the outside stall). |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

A dual 1m/1m2f winner in 2025; largely below par this season though and only ninth of 12 in 1m Newcastle handicap last time; others appeal more. |

9th 12 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Dual winner (including here) in 2025 but his more recent turf form is much less encouraging; needs to bounce back returned to Tapeta. |

Four C&D wins to his name, the latest in June off 4lb lower; an easy lead would seem unlikely and this opposition may prove too demanding. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who is probably best known for his exploits at Brighton; won there (7f, good to firm) in June and was placed from favourable draw at Chester (7f, good) last month but finished well down the field when last in action and might find others better treated. |
10/1 |
|
11th 12 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Likes to get on with it and he registered the latest of his six wins when making all in five-runner Brighton handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; went off too quickly next time but his third at Chester was a solid effort two weeks ago; same mark and this is tougher, though. |

8th 7 (7) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

10th 8 (14) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three of his four wins have come over 1m here, the latest 11 days ago; 4lb penalty still leaves him 1lb below his previous winning mark, but his record over this trip around here isn't quite as compelling (770408) and that would be a concern. |

1st 9 (6) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW with three wins, including two over C&D last October; rather patchy this year but he was third of 13 when making his turf debut at Doncaster (7f) in May and probably not discredited in a two-runner turf race in June when last seen; in the mix. |

First 27 starts came on the AW (three wins) and was making his turf debut when third of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month (fourth has won twice since); 5lb below last winning mark and much respected for stable that won this in 2024. |
