11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |
16/1 |

22th 28 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Useful form at a less competitive level in 2025, following 6f wins last June with one in a valuable York race (extended 5f, good to firm) in August; kept on well after being slightly checked in his run at Windsor in May but he has more to prove over this stiff 6f on course debut. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; on a good mark and his latest Hamilton third offered hope he would be adding to his tally soon; tongue-tie returns today; considered. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

Inconsistent front-runner but was close up behind Vantheman at Hamilton and this flatter track could suit better; respected. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form. |
4/1 |

4 (3) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; won two handicaps last season and he is 10lb lower than for the last of them; not beaten far at Nottingham eight days ago and he's likely to pop up soon. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Multiple winner, the latest last July when 10lb higher; a market check is advised but this 8yo has been well beaten on his last three starts and needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Multiple winner, including this race on good to firm off 7lb higher in 2024 (sixth last year); quiet in three runs this season but worth a look in the betting given his previous in this contest. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Kept on to snatch fourth at Windsor (5f, good) last month but ran poorly over 6f a fortnight ago and has basically become disappointing; needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
13th 9 (9) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Unplaced in last four handicaps but there was more encouragement in his fourth to Redorange (runs in the Listed race at 2.33) at Windsor 12 days ago; has raced mainly at 5f but should stay further; not without hope. |
18/1 |
|
4th 11 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Has good chance on last summer's Doncaster second but he was well held in his next three runs; still lightly raced but he's been up and down so far and others are more solid. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky. |
10/1 |
|
11th 13 (12) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
This mark in range but he hasn't found his best form so far this year (had blindfold issues behind Castan latest); this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |
14/1 |
