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. |
11/1 |

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 |

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. |
10/1 |
|
13 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question. |

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 |
