3rd 20 (20) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune but he has the ability to win a big prize when things pan out favourably; latest C&D second has been well advertised since and he wasn't well drawn there; 2lb rise should be fine and he has form on slow ground; one to consider. |
11/1 |

2nd 6 (20) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Made good progress in the second half of 2025; the handicapper has held the upper hand more recently though and this might not set up ideally for his style of racing. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner (four on AW) who ran well when fourth of 16 last May on his only outing here; chased home a handicap blot on his return to turf in April and he was back in that form when second at Windsor (again 6f, good to firm; Bolo Neighs behind) 11 days ago; in the mix once more. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Seemed in the doldrums prior to third of ten at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; had slipped in the weights and he's well treated on the pick of his 3yo form; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Scored three times for previous yard but is 0-8 for current stable and not particularly solid on 2026 form that includes mostly duck eggs, beaten 8l with tongue-tie fitted at Glorious Goodwood most recently; perhaps best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
14/1 |
|
13th 17 (18) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at York for Andrew Balding on his last run in this grade; quite highly tried in seven starts for this yard but he was far from disgraced when third of five in a Swedish Listed event (7f, good) one month ago; tongue-tie added and he has one of the widest stalls to contend with, however. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f maiden here in June of his 2yo season but that remains his only win; unlikely to be breaking his handicap duck from stall 12. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor. |
9/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made it 0-11 for the year when down the field here (7f) a fortnight ago; however, he was in pretty good heart previously and his last win came over C&D last October; not written off. |
11/1 |
|
12th 10 (10) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins on Tapeta in 2025 and he's had just three goes at this trip, all on turf; he didn't do badly when fourth on Carlisle's stiff track last time out so perhaps he's worth another shot at 7f, albeit his AW mark is 5lb higher than on turf. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (12) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on AW; two good runs at Carlisle this summer, second in May and third on Saturday, but they were over 6f and his stamina for this trip is the obvious concern. |

Looked good when winning over C&D in June; struggled in a hot race at Newmarket the following month but only fifth at Newcastle last time and others may have his measure in this field. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Looked good when winning at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f); form then levelled off until he ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap at Kempton in June (well backed); stiff task at Newmarket six weeks ago and the return to AW is in his favour. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

3yo whose best efforts this season have come here, winning over C&D (good) in April and going close over C&D (good) in June; fourth of 15 over C&D ten days ago and she's firmly in calculations. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who's been tried in three forms of headgear and proved expensive to follow; a poor one as favourite at Lingfield (AW) last time leaves him something to prove under Oisin Murphy (8-37 for the yard). |
7/1 |
|
2 (5) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well when third of ten at Southwell on his handicap debut in February and he's dropped 7lb since that effort; that is with some justification, as he's been well short of that level in three runs since; needs a full revival with cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. |

Well beaten returned to turf last time, failing to back up an AW Listed effort that seems to tie her in with two of today's rivals but may flatter her; 0-7 since debut win and isn't solid. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

In very good form on the AW through the winter (scored twice at Newcastle) but he's yet to show any worthwhile form on turf and came in last of ten in 5f Carlisle handicap last time; others appeal much more. |

10th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

A fairly useful winning juvenile for Richard Hannon but he's yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, off four months before coming in fifth of six in 5f Pontefract handicap 26 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |

Consistent rather than progressive for Richard Hannon; has finished last in two runs for this yard on either side of wind surgery; visor replaces cheekpieces. |
