10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Started this year with a 5f win at Newcastle (Tapeta) but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Newcastle (1m) last month; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival back in trip; tongue-tie reapplied. |
16/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Kickstarted 2026 with 5f win here but his form has nosedived since; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 5f success at Newcastle in January but he's failed to reproduce it, again slowly away when fifth of seven at Hamilton (5f) six days ago; others are preferred. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Newcastle winner (6f, Tapeta) the winter before last and 17lb lower than when successful at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in June last year; down in grade, but not performing as though ready to exploit his plummeting mark and is still to conclusively prove he wants this far; cheekpieces return. |
10/1 |

9th 6 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On a long losing sequence and yet to hit top form this season, fourth of nine in 6f Thirsk handicap nine days ago; more is required despite a falling mark. |
14/1 |

4th 9 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort whose three turf wins have all come over C&D; not firing of late, but has become dangerously well handicapped having dropped 14lb below his last winning mark. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Pulled hard on his first two runs back from wind surgery (7f) and was much happier being allowed to stride on when easily winning an apprentice handicap over C&D last Sunday; no penalty and he can only look well treated now back in the groove. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Has won only once, over 7f, during 25-race career; does have form at 6f but hasn't offered much in two runs after wind surgery. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
In good form on AW earlier in the year; unplaced both starts since returning to turf this summer and others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by 5f on a stiff track (two of his three wins have been at Beverley); fair fifth at Beverley with a visor tried last time (5f, good; pulled hard); regular cheekpieces back on here but soft ground a negative. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced all five turf starts new stable this season (6f-7f) but hasn't been running that badly and continues to slip down the weights; Billy Loughnane is booked for this rare AW appearance; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
6th 9 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two turf wins, the latest a claimer at Leicester last October on final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; dropping down the weights but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to take advantage. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |
5/1 |

2 (9) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) this June; not nearly so good on either start since, admittedly trying 7f on first occasion but others bring more solid claims; 7lb claimer recruited. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Probably failed to stay 7f last time and won a C&D handicap the time before; however, he's got a lot on his plate at these weights. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp success at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 12 days ago; has a penalty but he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last spring and he looks worth another try at this trip; dangerous. |
6/1 |
