9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Last five wins have come on the AW including when completing a hat-trick in the spring; has winning form on good to firm ground, but his last two efforts since returning to turf need improving upon. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him. |

10th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in July, including here (1m2f, good), and his last two runs have seen him hamstrung by pulling far too hard; drops in trip on what will likely be the slowest ground he has encountered; risky. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won twice over 1m2f last month (good and good to firm); pulled his chance away when third to Mariner at Doncaster 16 days ago; stamina for 1m4f has to be taken on trust but Henry Callan is 5-7 for James Owen and he should give it another good go. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All the better for a hood returning, winning two of his last three races; overcame some traffic issues to prevail narrowly at Windsor 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fairly treated on her back-to-back runner-up efforts over 7f on AW/turf in August but not quite at the same level in recent starts; Captain Parma is the more obvious of her prolific stable's pair. |
15/2 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-Irish soft/heavy-ground winner; 0-10 for James Owen since June; has posted some good efforts in defeat but struggles for consistency and it was one of her lesser efforts when fifth of seven at Chester (7f, good) on Friday; first run at 6f for over two years. |
7/2 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-9 for James Owen since the spring; has posted some good efforts in defeat, most recently when third at Lingfield (7f, AW) last week, but her tendency to race too freely and/or start slowly is a nagging concern. |

3rd 6 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained all four handicap wins over C&D, including two this May (good to soft/good to firm); also ran well over the extended 7f here in midsummer and has been given a chance by the handicapper on the back of a poor run at Pontefract five weeks ago; his C&D record affords him plenty of respect. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has gained all four handicap wins over the extended 1m at Beverley, two this May; underwhelming prospects judged on two runs here, admittedly back in 2024 but he looks opposable seeing as he may well need a career best. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Ties in with some of today's rivals on recent C&D form but is still seeking a first success at this trip; has gained all Beverley wins over the extended 1m. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 and nothing like the force of old but placed in this grade on last three appearances; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f last time; ought to be right in the thick of things. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 1m on the AW, but neck defeats at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) and at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) in her last two starts suggest this trip should be within range on a sharp track; high on list. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Two solid efforts in defeat round here, latterly when third to Time Patrol in May (5lb better off); drop to 6f against her next time, before she pulled too hard over a stiff 1m, and a win wouldn't surprise back in the cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Five-race maiden who has mostly encouraging form; found the return to 6f against her last time and may show progress back up in trip; first attempt at 1m. |
13/2 |

4th 6 (1) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only had the four races; went close in a 6f novice and perhaps stretched by 7f when close up on last week's handicap debut back at Brighton; likely to have some say, though is unraced on ground slower than good. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Seven wins this year (1m-1m4f, including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and looked better than ever when close third of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last time; in the mix if handling the ground. |
15/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can make the running; highly progressive 4yo until a lesser result at Ayr on latest outing but being hampered at the start seemed to scupper him; had seven wins May-August and went mighty close at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month; 5lb higher today but he remains one for the shortlist. |
100/30 |
|
10 (10) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Highly progressive 4yo who made it seven wins from his last nine starts when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, and he was a close second of 14 off this mark at Doncaster last Thursday (1m4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); reappears before 5lb rise kicks in and holds very solid claims. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |
7/2 |

6th 1 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |
