27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to score this season but largely running well, posting a solid fourth of eight in 6f Carlisle handicap 16 days ago; this C&D winner can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to win this season but has dropped to a good mark and was close third in refitted visor at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; blinkers are the headgear of choice today; might be the answer. |

3rd 4 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |
14/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine in 5f Sandown handicap in June; that form has worked out well, so this veteran is a likely player after another break. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |
11/2 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago but he remains 4lb above the mark he defied at Haydock. |
11/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; struggled at York last time but that was a highly competitive Class 4 event and he was runner-up here (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins have come over 5f but he has won three times over 6f, including around here; held lately, but he drops to this level for the first time in over two years and is 4-9 in 0-60 handicaps or lower; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
11th 11 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner who went close at Lingfield (5f) in March and ran well there over 6f in April, finishing third of five (beaten a length); never got involved there 28 days ago but he could go well returned to 6f. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on turf; came up well short last time when bidding for a Chepstow double; far from solid on his AW form and has something to prove back in this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Popped up from nowhere when winning in a first-time tongue-tie over C&D (soft) nine days ago; well drawn as it turned out that day and recent history suggests he's no certainty to repeat the effort, back up 4lb and into a better race. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing run and he went too freely in first-time cheekpieces for his new yard when a below-par fourth of eight in 5f Lingfield handicap 18 days ago; tongue tied now with more required. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Better than ever in 2026 and seen to good effect when making all at Ffos Las and Ascot (5f; good and good to firm; acts on good to soft) in midsummer; couldn't cope with a total rise of 12lb in the Shergar Cup since and an easy lead looks unlikely but he could be well positioned from his draw and give it a good shot. |
7/2 |
|
4th 6 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Made good progress last season and he has improved again this year, finishing third of 17 over C&D on his reappearance and winning at Ffos Las (5f, good) and C&D (good to firm) on his last two starts; up another 5lb but foolish to think he has reached his ceiling. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two C&D runs have seen him make the frame in big-field events; easily saw off four rivals in a handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) 26 days ago; the combination of a 7lb rise and considerably more demanding opposition could scupper a follow up. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual soft-ground winner, latterly over C&D last autumn off an 8lb higher mark; has been running over 7f in recent times and the question is whether he still has the toe for this trip under today's conditions. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Returned to turf with two decent efforts (both 7f, good) this spring, and his keeping-on fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month was perfectly respectable; would appeal more on ground slower than good but still considered each-way. |
13/2 |
|
5th 11 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Can miss the break but he's on a dangerous mark and was runner-up here (7f, good) in May before a respectable fourth at Chepstow last month; this return to AW is no problem and he has each-way claims. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
On a long losing sequence but recent form includes a couple of encouraging efforts and he did too much up front when fifth of six at Brighton (5f) 19 days ago; needs considering eased 1lb. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Placed three times from seven starts since returned to turf in May; no match for easy winner when second over C&D (good to firm) last month and remains well below the best of last year's form but still has possibilities; often wears cheekpieces but goes in refitted blinkers today. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer. |

Prolific in 2024 and made a welcome return to form when third last week at Nottingham (5f, good); has slipped to a good mark. |

|
3rd 3 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in 2024, all over about 5f in first half of the year, but well below her best this season and going the wrong way. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won six times in 2024 but well below her best this season; continues to slide down the weights but her last couple of efforts were particularly disappointing and she has a much better strike-rate on turf. |
