29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went back-to-back last summer (about 1m4f, AW/good) and he's been beaten 3l or less on his last four starts, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) four weeks ago; soft ground would be an unknown but he's below his last winning mark and drops back down in grade. |

3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
One of three wins came over C&D in July of last year (promoted after dead-heating); solid runs in his last three races, two at Chester; tactically versatile and should be in the mix; first-time headgear. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gradually coming back to form this term and last two efforts, both at Chester, can be marked up (met late trouble latest); remains on last winning mark and he is 1-1 over C&D (novice success two years ago); respected assuming fortune is back on his side. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won at Salisbury (1m4f) and Newmarket (1m6f, both on good to firm) last summer, but she reappeared with a laboured effort at Ascot (1m2f) in May; has bit to prove after another break and she seems more potent at longer trips. |
13/2 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second win for Stuart Williams when getting up on the line over 1m6f at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; not seen since, though, and possibly best watched racing short of 1m3f for the first time on her return. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won on yard debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and close third at Chester (12.2f, good) next time; good to soft ground may not have been ideal when soundly beaten third here (1m4f) latest, and this trip may be within range, but she has to be better than ever today. |

Dual winner but 0-11 for current yard and essentially regressive; off since January. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this. |
11/2 |
|
3 (5) |
15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Represents a new trainer in excellent form and has won at Goodwood (1m4f, good) and Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) on his last two outings, proving himself better than ever; edging up the weights only gradually and in the mix again. |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In form having made the frame in most starts this term, close fourth over C&D on penultimate; has never won away from Wolverhampton but can't be dismissed off current mark. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Versatile sort whose four wins have all been at this track between 1m4f to around 2m; well-handicapped on his best form but hasn't won for 12 months and some of his younger rivals may have more scope. |
11/1 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have been at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) and latest was 11 months ago; finished a close third off 1lb higher at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held with cheekpieces tried at Chester last time; the headgear is quickly discarded but he comes with risks attached. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won five times last year, one of those over C&D, but below form since finishing second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this June; she has dropped in the weights and is dangerous to dismiss back here. |
4/1 |
|

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has five wins including one over C&D; ran well when second over C&D in June off 4lb higher mark but has been below that form in four runs since; has possibilities if a return to this track works the oracle. |
9/2 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won five times last summer and went the best part of two stone up the weights; patchy this time and often takes plenty of driving but is 2lb lower than when last successful and will find this a touch easier. |

10st 2lb |
Won on soft ground in the autumn and ran big race in defeat on reappearance outing at Haydock (1m3f, good to soft) in the spring, but disappointed on his next outing (again raced too freely) and is not easy to predict. |
8/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win from 11 starts came in game fashion on soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) in October and he ran a fine race when runner-up behind Blue Wonder at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) on his reappearance 22 days ago, coming clear of the rest; on the shortlist. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

On a winning mark and won't mind the forecast rain but he hasn't convinced with his stamina in two attempts at this trip. |
12/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner who has won twice (1m2f/1m4f) on good to soft this season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he can race freely and he didn't seem to get home when upped to 1m6f at Haydock last time. |
8/1 |

9 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who won twice (1m2f/1m4f) on good to soft this season; not sure to get 1m6f, as he raced freely to set up a clear lead at Carlisle last time but he also rallied that day to finish a creditable second; needs a second look. |
