10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month but found out off 3lb higher at Yarmouth since, albeit another creditable effort. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Can lead; course winner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; a 3lb rise for that success still leaves him well treated on old form. |

On a long losing run but he comes here in good nick, third of 11 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap four days ago; his best recent form is on the AW though. |

10st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in April and close third at Chester (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this 6yo could give another good account but is taking on some unexposed 3yos and may well be vulnerable. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Has a much better strike-rate on AW than on grass; soundly beaten off his lower turf mark returned to this sphere last time; opposed. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |

Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

Ex-Irish veteran who scored here (2m) last month on second Flat start for new yard, taking AW record to 3-14; may remain competitive, having gone back up just 1lb. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
All five AW wins have been at this track, four of which were over this trip; recorded his first turf success at Doncaster in June and has run well since, which augurs well for this return to AW. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark on turf when beating five rivals at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) last month but he was beaten 8l when fifth of ten off this mark at York (1m4f, good to firm) 19 days ago; now drops back in trip. |
4/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Five-time AW winner who made it sixteenth time lucky on turf when seeing off five rivals over 1m4f at Doncaster (good to soft) under Conor Whiteley 26 days ago; 3lb higher in a deeper race now but the Michael Herrington stable continues in good form. |

9st 13lb |
Eventually drew clear from two rivals at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) last week, having taken a while to respond to Billy Loughnane's urgings; previously effective over 1m4f and, even with 4lb penalty, remains well treated on peak form. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |
100/30 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |
