23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer; won twice on AW earlier in the year and he has run some good races on turf this summer; latest C&D run was disappointing but he's the type to bounce back quickly. |
11/2 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on AW (1m2f/9.4f) in early part of this year and has made the frame five consecutive times (1m-1m2f) since returned to turf in the spring; holds no secrets from the handicapper and may be better suited by 1m2f but ought to give another good account. |

3rd 7 (11) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time AW winner who is 0-12 on grass but he's been placed on turf in his last three runs including when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; on same mark here and he should be in the thick of things again. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who scored on turf at Lingfield on his penultimate run and he wasn't suited by a tactical race at Epsom (third of four) last time; only 3lb higher than for that last success and has claims if things go to plan back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In good form prior to capitalising on the step back up in trip to win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; had just a short head to spare but he's only 3lb higher today and can be bang there once more. |
7/2 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Running consistently well in defeat on AW this season, finishing placed at Wolverhampton on last two starts (9.4f); there's every chance this three-time turf winner will be thereabouts. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All six of his wins have been on turf but he has form on AW; won by a head at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May before a lesser effort on his final start for Richard Fahey; failed to beat a rival on yard debut at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) and the visor now returns. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on any ground and has won on soft and heavy; has been a bit up and down this season, but she got back on the scoresheet with cosy win in classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and she's a big player if this sets up for her closing style. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-5 for new stable this year; ran quite well when fifth of ten in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month but was soundly beaten at Chepstow three weeks later; others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Knows more about this game than most with this being her 80th start, but she hasn't been running like a winner waiting to happen and hasn't scored on turf since September 2023. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Nine-race maiden who is bred to be a sprinter but he's finding stamina from somewhere and was a keeping-on second at Chelmsford (1m6f) 11 days ago; only 1lb higher and he's not ruled out on this step up to 2m. |
5/1 |
|
3 (7) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Fair effort on his only AW start (9.5f); bred to be a sprinter but he's finding stamina from somewhere and recorded just about his best effort upped to 1m4f when second at Catterick (good to firm) two starts back; not so good over that trip at Beverley (good) next time, though, and he's got a bit to prove up in distance again. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three of his four wins have come over 1m here, the latest 11 days ago; 4lb penalty still leaves him 1lb below his previous winning mark, but his record over this trip around here isn't quite as compelling (770408) and that would be a concern. |
9/4 |
|
1st 9 (6) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW with three wins, including two over C&D last October; rather patchy this year but he was third of 13 when making his turf debut at Doncaster (7f) in May and probably not discredited in a two-runner turf race in June when last seen; in the mix. |
9/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW (three wins) and was making his turf debut when third of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month (fourth has won twice since); 5lb below last winning mark and much respected for stable that won this in 2024. |

14/1 |
|
12th 2 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

All four AW wins have come over C&D including when ending a 16-race losing run in returning cheekpieces a fortnight ago; 2lb rise not excessive but the outside stall makes things tricky. |

Off the mark over 8.6f here in January and placed in both goes over C&D in the meantime; the switch to blinkers didn't have a positive effect last time but the return of a visor looks a positive; high on list. |

9st 8lb |
Much the best of his AW form has come in 0-50 classified events including two wins here (8.6f/9.5f); landed a 0-55 handicap on turf at Nottingham (1m, good) in April and the market should indicate how ready he is on this first outing since. |

1st 4 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but he won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month and was a creditable third in another classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf and he needs a close look back in this sphere. |
