2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in April and kept on for close second at Haydock (5f, good to firm) next time; feasibly treated on that form but he hasn't shone on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Looked good dropped to 5f at Ascot in April and ran creditably on his next two starts; low draw excuses a lesser run back at Ascot last month; returns to 6f and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Impressed over C&D in April, his first attempt at 5f; ran well at Haydock next time and the ground shouldn't have been an issue when only fifth at Hamilton last time; still possible he's happiest on good to firm though and could yet rate higher at the trip. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Fine servant down the years but he hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; on a good mark and can pop up soon but would like to see more from him before getting involved. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Fine stable servant with eight wins to his name, two of them here; probably needed the run when down the field at the Dante meeting; the usual headgear returns today and Jack Nicholls claims a handy 5lb; quite interesting. |

19th 12 (17) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
8yo who was inconsistent last season and lacks a recent run; however, he's just 1lb higher than when both second of 13 over C&D (good) last May and winning at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) next time; not ruled out each-way. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had his ideal conditions when gaining his fourth win at Haydock last month (5f, soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; solid third of 20 off this 5lb higher mark at York last time (5f, good; fifth has won since); stall 2 perhaps not ideal but one with a chance. |
3/1 |

3rd 19 (20) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |
10/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form when second at Beverley (5f, good) last month; sixth of seven there since (5f, good to soft) but beaten less than 2l and he's a three-time winner here (6f/5f, good-heavy); could be bang there now back here in first-time cheekpieces. |

9st 1lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 in 5f handicap at Ripon 11 days ago; usual visor goes back on now and this four-time C&D scorer is not out of things under a 4lb penalty. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Markedly more exposed than Goyard but is similar in one respect, being 2-2 at Ripon; recent form is respectable enough to put him in calculations off a workable mark back at this course. |

Bounced back from below-par run at York with close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good) on Sunday, and his best run this season came when close second of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; not ruled out back here. |

9st 13lb |
Won off an 11lb mark at Musselburgh last August (5f, good); hasn't run as well since and below-par over same C&D last time (good); dropped another 3lb so no surprise if he were to go well. |
7/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained last season's win over C&D (good); slightly disappointing in first-time blinkers (retained) on AW a week ago but now 2lb lower than when fourth of 17 behind Right And Exact at Thirsk (5f, good) two starts ago. |
8/1 |

4th 5 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear. |

9st 7lb |
Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance. |

3rd 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground. |
13/2 |

4th 3 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |

8st 10lb |
Another who has a better strike-rate on AW than turf; not beaten far into fourth in a 5f handicap at Doncaster 17 days ago, a race where he fluffed the start; yet to shine at Ayr; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |
10/1 |

4th 7 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Haydock (7f, good to firm) last May and at Newcastle (5f, AW) in November but he's a more reliable proposition on AW, on which he's 7-19 as opposed to 1-15 on turf; not at the top of his game on grass of late. |

7th 9 (13) |

Seven wins in 2025, including a turf success (7f, good to firm) off a 3lb higher mark; this looks more manageable than the 20-runner 0-85 handicap he contested at York eight days ago; not ruled out. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade. |
