3rd 9 (13) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Can lead; recorded the latest of his nine wins when taking Hamilton handicap (5f, soft) in September 2024; now 23lb lower but was only sixth of ten back at that track last Friday; career-low mark and any rain would be welcome. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (12) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has won nine races, two over C&D (good to soft/soft); 3.5l second to Tanjen over C&D last time but meets her on the same terms, so may struggle to turn that form around. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Without a success since September 2024 but that did come over this C&D off a 22lb higher mark; faded into seventh of 11 here ten days ago but it would be no surprise to see him go well. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who has returned to form on her last two starts, finishing third over C&D (good) then winning at Ayr (5f, good); remains well treated on her old form and she's respected. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Thrown in on last summer's best form and there were clear signs of a revival with her third of six at Musselburgh (5f, good) eight days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb and she is one to be interested in. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Should be making a big impact off her lowly mark but her 2026 campaign has been underwhelming thus far; has won over C&D and dropping into a Class 6 will help; still not entirely convincing. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Made all off 1lb lower at Chester (6f, good) in May and wasn't beaten far on any of four subsequent starts there, the latest over 5f from a tough draw; may not be seen to quite the same effect on this straight track, though. |
11/2 |
|
9th 2 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
All six wins have been here and at Wolverhampton, including this race 12 months ago when 6lb lower; close fourth here last time when drawn wide but in a smaller field than today and now he's out in stall 12; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in 2024; finished down the field in the Silver Cup at Ripon (6f, good) 11 days ago but he ran well at Thirsk (5f, good) the time before and should be happier back at 5f; others preferred, however. |
16/1 |
|
15th 17 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
5f win here off 2lb higher in May; quiet afterwards until reviving with a second of six at Thirsk last week; has a C&D win on his record but rarely seen over 6f in recent times. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Recorded his fifth turf win when scoring at Ripon (5f, good) in May but he's struggled since and has failed to beat a rival in his last three starts; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Regressive 5yo who has been unplaced all six starts for new stable this year; seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when fourth at Chester (5f, good) last month, having set a brisk pace, but was well below that form (albeit from a wider draw) there three weeks ago. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not hit top gear this year but signs of a return to form when keeping on from off the pace here 14 days ago in a race he won the previous year; always dangerous if getting a strong pace to chase. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won off 4lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July and perhaps unsuited by softer going in two starts since; only had 12 races and couldn't dismiss. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Successful over 5f at Chester (5f, good) last July; also went close on his 2025 reappearance which provides hope that he may be ready to roll after seven months off; drawn widest. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Wildly inconsistent gelding who's drawn wide back down from 6f; little room for manoeuvre off this mark and it's hard to know what to expect as usual. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Can blow hot and cold but he popped up in a 5f handicap here last month and ran creditably from stall 1 at Chester ten days ago (6f, good); not sure he's got much in hand of his mark though. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on AW this winter, including C&D, and he is now 2lb lower than for the second win; has gone quiet more recently though and could prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who was recording the 14th win of his career when scoring off this mark over C&D in January; short of his best on his last four starts but the ability is there if his new rider can coax it out of him. |
16/1 |
|
11th 10 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Five-time course winner but finished behind Irish Dancer and Woodhay Whisper here last time, with no obvious excuses. |
