10th 1 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has been runner-up in competitive handicaps on three of his four starts since April, most recently in last month's 28-runner Royal Hunt Cup over C&D (good to firm); climbing the weights in defeat but he's nevertheless firmly in calculations. |

2nd 22 (23) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Below par in the Newbury contest won by Classic last time but that was out of character for him; otherwise a solid and steadily progressive colt whose form this spring includes good efforts in AW finals event and the Thirsk Hunt Cup; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed several times this term, including in higher grade at Catterick last week; continues on a long losing run but remains 8lb below last winning mark; again in the mix. |

3rd 9 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three C&D wins on his record, including in this race in 2024; near miss over C&D last month and his subsequent Redcar defeat came in a Class 4; big player. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained all five wins over 7f; went close over that trip in Class 6 event at regular haunt Catterick (good to firm) last month but went up 2lb for that and looks vulnerable over 1m in this stronger race. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

All four wins when trained by Mick Appleby; below par on turf recently and has a bit to prove on this return to AW; first-time hood goes on alongside returning tongue-tie. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-12); hasn't managed to beat many rivals in three starts this year, only eighth of nine at Catterick (7f; 28-1) 24 days ago; handicap mark continues to slide. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's 1lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September and is also effective on turf; however, following a break he's finished down the field on grass on his last two starts; has to get back on track. |
20/1 |

AW winner for Richard Fahey (7f); well beaten on stable debut after a break on turf at Lingfield last month (7f, good) but should come on for the outing; first run on soft ground. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; not particularly solid on 2026 efforts and it's still over five years since his only turf win. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dry since a C&D win for the Quinn yard more than two years ago; now 10lb lower than when last seen on the AW (3-8 here) but has regressed on turf in the meantime and may just be on the downgrade. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

5th 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Not won on turf since his 2yo days and has gone off the boil, finishing a remote last behind Physique at Beverley a few weeks ago; hard to recommend off the back of that. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f nursery in good style 12 months ago; off the mark for the year when well on top at the finish in a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster in July; fair efforts in two of his three runs since (unsuited by ground when disappointing on penultimate start); drop back into a Class 5 will help but stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Can pull hard and has worn a hood for last five outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f this summer, including for a clearcut win at Doncaster and a creditable fourth over C&D; flopped back at Doncaster last month but that was on tacky ground and he could bounce back on this return to AW. |
10/1 |

7 (3) |
14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hard to settle and has worn a hood for last four outings; raised his game, though, with the move up to 1m2f for last three starts, coming from off the pace, including for a clearcut win here (good; unraced on softer) on penultimate occasion; 6lb higher this time but he's in calculations. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; still 10lb higher than when winning over C&D in July last year, but has been beaten less than a length off similar marks in each of his last four starts; faces other speed influences but still respected on first start back with his former trainer. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 7f winner in 2025 for Ann Duffield; returned with very good placed efforts in 7f handicaps at Newcastle and Musselburgh this spring and not out of things starting out for another new yard here. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won twice in the second half of last year, the latest in a big field at Thirsk (7f, good) in September; went close on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) and he can make another bold bid. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Hooded all starts; has not built on a promising debut last July, slowly away and always behind on latest outing; slipping in the weights but needs to get back on track. |

9th 8 (11) |
17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not seen last year after August and has been off for almost five months since two uninspiring AW efforts in January; has pulled hard a couple of times, which would be a concern from the outside stall going back up from 6f. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won a Wetherby maiden (5.5f, good) in June 2024 but she's been lightly raced since and has struggled in her last four runs; mark is tumbling but she needs a major revival on her second run after a year off; cheekpieces added. |
25/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

A fair 5.5f winner as a 2yo but she offered little in three runs last summer; needs to take a major step forward after 11 months off the track. |
