9st 11lb |
Can lead; won his maiden on turf but he's topped that form on the AW since, winning at Newcastle in March, and was left behind back on grass at Yarmouth (6f, good) when last seen in April; work to do off just 1lb lower. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-16 on turf; the handicapper has been in command so far this year but he is edging down the weights and may yet come good on grass; refused to race in last season's Ayr Silver Cup. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 15 attempts; latest Thirsk fourth (6f, good to firm) as good as anything he's produced on the grass but may find at least the odd one too strong again. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner here early in the season, all over 1m, who's lost his form of late, the switch from blinkers to cheekpieces not helping; runs in a sprint for the first time this year. |
25/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Found a rich vein of form earlier in the year, with five wins between February and June (including 7f here), but has been operating below that level in recent starts. |
16/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before; does stay this far, for all that she's rarely seen over a mile these days. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Denied a clear run when fifth over 1m at Haydock a fortnight ago and has returned to the mark she scored from over 6f at Newcastle in February; also has winning form here; another who has to enter the reckoning. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has conditions to suit and he has run well in two of his last three starts; should give his running but likely a few of today's field will have his measure. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely runs at this track but has won six times over 6f on Tapeta at Newcastle/Southwell and belied 33-1 odds when close third over 7f here in July; could not get involved from off the pace at Southwell (6f) last month but a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light. |
12/1 |
|
14th 10 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won on turf but better on the AW and gave it a good go under a front-running ride last month at Wolverhampton (7f; just behind On Key); better known for his exploits at this trip; an exposed 9yo but not without hope. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Back-to-back C&D wins last October but form has dipped markedly since those, with absences a feature; reservations for now. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Won two 6f handicaps at Newcastle last October but ended his 2025 campaign with a poor run and it a similar story on his seasonal return in May; absent since and likely vulnerable. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |

4th Apr 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two lengthy absences to his name and has lacked consistency since returning from 16 months off; this mark is within range if the first-time tongue-tie helps and he's on a going day but there are risks involved. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Two lengthy absences to his name and returns from a ten-week break today, having run below par at a short price latterly; otherwise he showed himself capable at this level in a couple of his runs last autumn and is one to consider. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
In fine form since joining Robert Cowell and made it win number three for the stable at Sandown (5f, good) in August; good second at Bath (5f, good to firm) since; ran well on soft ground last July on the last occasion he tackled slow turf; entitled to respect. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
On the up since joining Robert Cowell this summer and comfortably gained a third victory for the yard in nine-runner handicap at Sandown (5f) last month by 3/4l from Maharajas Express; up 5lb but that form has been really well advertised, so he is seriously considered. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |
