3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |
6/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |

Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten 11 times since his last win in August 2023 but he's dropped down the weights and was a fair fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) three weeks ago on his first run since wind surgery; could be in the mix. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Generally consistent 4yo, who made all at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and things didn't go his way back on turf there last time; has claims if he can bounce back but stall 14 could make things tough and there are some other pacesetters in the line-up. |
12/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 4yo who held on well to make all at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; should be okay back on turf and recent 3lb rise is offset by Laura Coughlan's claim today but he's very unlikely to enjoy an uncontested lead. |

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 |

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. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Has registered most wins on AW but ran creditably last Saturday when bidding for a Thirsk (1m) double; this 8yo remains in form and is still well treated on historical data. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Good record here, his seven appearances yielding three wins and two second-place finishes; solid handicapping case to be made on his soft-ground C&D win just over a year ago and it would be no surprise if the return to this venue encouraged a revival. |
20/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (12) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

This has always been his time of year and he's a dual C&D winner who's back on a handy mark; it wouldn't be a shock if he popped up. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of his career running over a bit shorter in better company than this; cracked late on his return from an absence, having been gelded, at Salisbury a fortnight ago and is entitled to have come on for that; one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dangerously handicapped on old form but looked out of sorts during five-race turf/AW spell from August to January; gelded in March; needs to have been revitalised by 203-day break. |
