19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off. |
20/1 |
|
5th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended long losing run with a last-gasp win at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago and he was only narrowly denied on his return visit 11 days ago; on same mark here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
5/1 |
|
10 (12) |
31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who is without a win since October 2023; ran four times last winter, best effort on first occasion and he's often gone well after other breaks, so he needs a second look off this career-low mark. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |
16/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
One win (C&D) and three second-place finishes in six AW starts since October; front-running second, beaten a nose, over 8.6f here four weeks ago; in the mix again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in 2023 but better known as a 7f performer now; safely held over that trip here on last two appearances and needs to up his game. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender. |
6/1 |
|
2 (9) |
10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (12) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

9st 3lb |
Still quite lightly raced after only eight starts but ended 2024 with two disappointing AW runs and was well beaten on turf when returning in March; refitted visor the headgear of choice today; needs to turn a corner. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Gradually finding his form for new stable since returning from lengthy absence, fourth over 1m at Ffos Las most recently; doesn't seem to be crying out for this step back up in distance, however. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Newmarket winner in late 2024 (1m, good; fine on soft); second run back from a long absence was better than the first and he might progress again; realistic mark. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m at Newmarket (good; also second on soft) in autumn 2024 but absent for 487 days prior to weakening into ninth of ten at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; entitled to strip fitter (return to turf may also help) but a leap of faith is needed. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

5th 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Belied her 20-1 odds with recent C&D success on good ground, taking Doncaster record to 2-5; incurs a penalty (future mark 1lb lower) but may well remain competitive kept to this venue. |
5/1 |

1st 9 (12) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
The winner of two 7f AW handicaps for Scott Dixon; didn't run badly on turf at Lingfield (7f, good) on her penultimate start and her rider takes off a useful 3lb; each-way shout. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |
5/1 |
|
9th 7 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but went close in most recent attempt in this sphere; scored at Kempton (1m) last time; may well remain competitive. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton in March and he went close back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; 2lb higher here but he was a well-backed favourite last time and he remains very well treated on old form; big player. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Useful AW form in Britain, winning four times; well below his best in final runs for Laura Morgan and poor form has continued in two outings here for new yard; Colin Keane takes over for the first time now. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (8) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Useful overall AW form in Britain, winning four times; a long way below best since Southwell win last August; never threatened in a 7f handicap here on Irish debut. |
