16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
9yo who has dropped down the weights and showed spark when second of four at Nottingham last month; however, well beaten at Thirsk since and he's winless on turf since September 2021; others appeal more. |
50/1 |

12th 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |

18th 21 (17) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

9st 12lb |
Just one win on grass (6f, good to firm) and that was over two years ago but he kept on well when beaten 4l at York in July in his latest turf run over 6f and is now 7lb lower; not dismissed in this lower grade. |
16/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Course winner who comes here on the back of a respectable seventh of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago; possibilities from a falling mark. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner whose AW mark has eased after three no-shows on turf and who's now 1lb lower than when successful at Newcastle last winter; currently 3-10 for Billy Loughnane and a better showing can be expected. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
40-1 when beaten a nose at Kempton (6f, AW) on his stable debut in March and, after some lesser turf efforts, he was back in form when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time hood/tongue-tie) 19 days ago; thereabouts if he can transfer that form to grass this time. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins when trained by Mick Appleby; below par on turf recently and has a bit to prove on this return to AW; first-time hood goes on alongside returning tongue-tie. |
16/1 |

14th 5 (14) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won over this trip at Newmarket last autumn for Mick Appleby but three turf runs for current yard have been well below par; bit to prove. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

No impact in two York sprints last month but he's slipped to a good mark and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won first two starts at 5f on heavy and good to soft but things haven't been easy for him since, on turf or the AW, and has yet to prove 6f suits. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Five wins all on Tapeta and he usually gives his running round here; however, there's little leeway off this mark (5lb higher than when winning in lesser company in the spring) and he doesn't arrive in the best of form. |
20/1 |

17th 7 (16) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

Better on AW than turf (5-28 as opposed to 0-12) and others have much stronger claims this time. |

7th 1 (4) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Better on AW than turf so two defeats on the grass aren't especially damaging to his claims here; won easily at Wolverhampton (5f) on his most recent start and he is respected back on Tapeta. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Seven-time AW winner who was runner-up over C&D in March but has lost his way with heavy defeats in his last three runs; has a lot to prove and he needs to get back on track. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time AW winner but sole turf win was in 2023 and he was tailed off back in this sphere at Catterick (7f, good) in May; has something to prove after another break and others are preferred. |
20/1 |
|
12th 4 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

3rd 5 (7) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark in Britain when landing a Class 6 handicap at Wolverhampton in June; best run since when a close third back at Wolverhampton nine days ago; can win more races but a lower draw would have been preferable. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from a three-month break to score over C&D (6-1; from 2lb lower) in June; less productive next time, but last week's Ffos Las fourth (5f, good, beaten 1l) was a step back in the right direction; Christian Howarth takes off 5lb. |
