27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Handy sort who won twice here last month, taking his C&D record to 3-3; only beat one home at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) eight days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove given he handles a soft surface on turf. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who completed a double when battling well at Southwell (7f) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he has plenty of placed form in this sphere and is only 2lb higher than last time; could be a big factor again and any rain would be a bonus. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Suited by this surface and his rivals never really got a look in when he made all here three weeks ago, taking his record to 2-2 over C&D; has gone back up 7lb but he's only just above his winning mark on Kempton AW last June and has another good run in him. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-13 on AW as opposed to 4-22 on turf; placed at Newcastle in May on last AW start; current wellbeing has to be taken on trust after two heavy defeats on turf. |
8/1 |
|
3 (9) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started this season with good thirds at Newcastle (1m, AW) and Doncaster (1m, good) but he missed the break and finished in rear at Carlisle last time; bit to prove again after that and he's won only once in last 20 starts. |
10/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Won at Beverley last season (8.5f, soft); two creditable runs this time, last time finishing a close third at Doncaster (1m, good); each-way chance. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow success in April took his C&D record to 2-3; has remained in form elsewhere since and his latest effort, in Class 2 at Epsom, can be marked up (hampered then rallied for third place); respected back here. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 10 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Made all at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in April on second stable start; respectable efforts when fifth on his next two outings but he needs something extra today and is unproven on slow ground. |
40/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good/firmer; has quickly found his form this season for new yard and ran creditably in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) last Saturday when attempting to follow up his Beverley success (7.5f); may do better still. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
6th 8 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in June but he has failed to reproduce it in three turf outings since and came in last of 11 at Haydock (7f) eight days ago; others are much preferred. |
25/1 |
|
11th 4 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won on turf last April and snapped long losing run at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; however, well beaten back on turf on his last two starts and he needs to turn things around. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark in 1m Windsor handicap last May but he's had only three runs since and has struggled in all of them; now back on his winning mark but he flopped when favourite at Leicester in April and needs a major revival after a break. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins last summer and he showed spark as recently as this April; he's dropped to a dangerous mark but has failed to shine on his last three outings and arrives with something to prove. |
8/1 |

7th 1 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well treated on the form he showed last August, including win at Haydock and close third at the York Ebor festival; absent since finishing rather tamely over C&D two months ago. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
2-34 but only faded late after racing prominently at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and met trouble in running when fifth of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW; 100-30) 12 days ago; on career-low mark and may be ready to take advantage. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins from 33 starts; runner-up over this C&D in January and he shaped as if still in form when eighth of 22 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) 17 days ago, weakening late; returns to the AW with solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
8th 16 (8) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Infrequent winner but he has run some good races in defeat over the winter, including when coming from a long way back to take second at Southwell (7f) for this rider in January; ran poorly at this meeting 12 months ago. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Showed some promise in his juvenile campaign but he's finished tailed in both runs for new yard this season; still lightly raced but he has lots to prove. |
50/1 |
|
10 (7) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Showed ability over 7f/1m in last season's 2yo campaign and is back up in trip today; however, he was beaten a long way at 50-1 on his recent stable and seasonal debut at Hamilton (6f) and is hard to fancy after that. |
