2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
2-5 for current yard after prevailing at Newcastle (1m4f, AW debut) and Hamilton (1m5f, good to soft; by a neck) on last two outings; raised another 4lb but he's getting his act together and, after two attempts last season, another go at 1m6f now looks plausible; has to be in serious calculations. |

1-5 for Richard Hannon and now 1-4 for current yard after prevailing in good style at Newcastle (1m4f, AW debut) five weeks ago; seemed to act on a range of ground on turf before that (won a maiden on heavy) but that AW run was a significant advance and he's now gone back up 7lb. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who did well throughout five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning this race; 5lb higher today but much more of a worry is that he needs to bounce back from this season's two poor runs on turf. |

Front-runner who did well during five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW); also suited by good to soft turf but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing reappearance run. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |

Ran okay in a Class 2 AW handicap last time as that race didn't go to plan; exposed but he's on a career-low mark and has won on soft ground; couldn't put a line through him. |

He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ran creditably for minor honours in two (1m5f/2m2f) of his four starts in last year's Flat campaign and won novice hurdles in December and January when last seen; however, although he won on good ground two years ago, his record since has been dominated by achievements on softer. |

Useful Flat performer who got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt at Wetherby (2m, soft) four weeks ago; he's open to further improvement in this code and could have a big part to play under a penalty. |

English raider has won three of his 10 starts on turf; best recent form has come on testing ground; beaten 2.25 off this mark in a class 4 handicap at Musselburgh latest (2m2f, gd-sft); needs the heavens to open. |

Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; below par twice on turf since a respectable third on AW at Southwell (1m6f) in July but is well handicapped again. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Useful three-time Flat winner (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; his Ludlow run from off the pace was encouraging and he then won comfortably under a more forward ride at Southwell (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); carries a penalty but has clear claims. |

Three Flat wins for Ed Walker (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; never got seriously involved under a patient ride at Ludlow but that run was promising; now tongue tied. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Ridden this season by Lauren Young; won at Musselburgh (1m4f) and Hamilton (1m3f) on first two starts, with a good third at Thirsk (1m4f) next time, all on good ground; shaped as if still in form in a steadily run race on latest outing; this good season (better than 2025) has been over much shorter but he did win this race on good to firm in 2024; not dismissed. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |

He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good) before good third at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time; he'll be fine at this longer trip, and also if slow ground prevails; could be bang there. |

Belatedly off the mark when making all to score by 7l at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) in June, after a break; managed only third of five when odds-on to follow up there last month and needs to kick on again here. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Finally got off the mark when a wide-margin winner over C&D three weeks ago; able to dictate the pace there so more is probably needed from a 6lb higher mark. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |

17-race maiden who was well beaten on AW last winter on his last two starts; however, he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts, many of which came here, and Eireann Cagney has won the last two runnings of this race; no surprise to see a big performance. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

0-7 last year and has weakened quickly on both runs this term; however, a wind operation may have done the trick and his good course form and a dangerous mark suggest he's worth a second look. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Well treated judged on peak form (AW in spring 2025) but it's a serious concern that his latest start (five weeks ago; made most) so seriously damaged his record of going well when back from a break; that was the first time he's been tongue tied (as he is today) and also his first race at Kempton. |
8/1 |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Goes well fresh (twice recorded a personal best when back from a break) and will appreciate this return to an artificial surface; fitting of a tongue-tie for this return could be a sign of intent; of interest. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Bounced back to form in this grade at Windsor (11.5f, soft) last time, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; 1-1 over 1m6f (AW win) and enters calculations. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |
