27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley (7.5f-1m4f), the most recent coming last August off a 4lb higher mark than today's, and he posted a solid effort when third there over 1m2f two weeks ago; down the field over this C&D in June. |

Six-time course winner and a regular here; beaten just over 2l over C&D last month when he was on the back foot after starting slowly; hard to rule out. |

Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Veteran who proved he still had what it takes when making virtually all at Southwell in April and is back off the same mark; has won three times over this C&D and no surprise were he to run well. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11yo who made virtually all to win at Southwell (7f, AW) in April; unplaced on both starts since but he failed to settle and was denied a clear run here on the first occasion; has won here three times; not ruled out. |

Veteran who gamely made all at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, his 12th win; only 1lb higher here and did pretty well to finish fifth at Catterick (7f, good) last month, given he pulled hard in the early stages (not a regular trait) and was denied a clear run; considered. |

Three course wins in the first half of the year, the latest (6f, good) off a 3lb lower mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts but a revival wouldn't be a great surprise. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in July, including here (1m2f, good), and his last two runs have seen him hamstrung by pulling far too hard; drops in trip on what will likely be the slowest ground he has encountered; risky. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won twice over 1m2f last month (good and good to firm); pulled his chance away when third to Mariner at Doncaster 16 days ago; stamina for 1m4f has to be taken on trust but Henry Callan is 5-7 for James Owen and he should give it another good go. |

All the better for a hood returning, winning two of his last three races; overcame some traffic issues to prevail narrowly at Windsor 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher. |

Prominent racer; made all in a small field at Brighton in April when rated 3lb higher; patchy since and has stamina to prove. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |

9st 2lb |
Record of 2-27 on turf, his last win coming at Beverley in September 2023 (1m, good); has run a few fair races since wind surgery in September last year; others look stronger. |

5th 5 (11) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3-38 under rules and stuck on a losing run; was third over 1m at Beverley five days ago but he pulled himself into a clear lead; risky from a win perspective. |

3rd 9 (2) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dry since a C&D win two years ago and has been turned over as favourite no fewer than seven times in the interim, latterly behind Sunny Orange ten days ago; that race didn't pan out his way from a wide stall but there can only be so many excuses. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Course regular who has registered four wins and five places from 21 starts here, including when scoring over 8.5f in April; has proved his stamina for 1m2f since July and has soft ground form too; may well make an impact. |
14/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Off the mark for the year at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in April and he has run several good races in defeat since; he should be in the thick of the action once more. |

Bits of form for Richard Fahey but she finished down the field in two runs for Jack Channon in late 2025; sold for 1,000gns in January; upped in trip and tried in a hood on her stable debut. |

Posted an improved effort when switched to handicap company at Carlisle (7f, soft) 29 days ago, shaping as if this extra half furlong would suit; unproven on quicker ground but remains capable of better. |

Just fair efforts on turf lately, but is 7lb lower than when winning over C&D in April last year and returns to the AW for the first time since beaten a head off 4lb higher back here in May; interesting. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

His three turf wins have come around the right-hand turn at Beverley; twice a runner-up in May but his form has dipped twice since; has the ability to feature at this level. |
