17th 6 (16) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |
25/1 |
|
17th 9 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); well beaten at Thirsk 24 days ago, however, and this is a deeper race. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
13th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has run well in two of her last three races, last time dictating a modest pace at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); came up short there but has to be feared here. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled her tally over C&D in June and was right back on song when close second at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but has a point to prove after weakening quickly on AW a fortnight ago. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Likes it here; came back to form last Wednesday at Lingfield (turf) but has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, albeit she'll be 1lb higher from the weekend; vulnerable to improvers. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Run to form in just one of his five starts this year; fully effective at the track and rain would boost his chance; one to consider with a good claimer booked. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice last season and was seemingly back in good form when third at Haydock (7f, good) in May, his second run this year, but two lesser efforts have followed and he now has a point to prove. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A two-time 7f scorer last September; posted a good third at Haydock (7f) in May but beat just one in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; needs to get back on track. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well backed on his stable debut at Nottingham in October (8.3f, heavy) but blew the start and finished tailed off; again slowly away when third over 1m2f back at Nottingham six days later; pulled up on hurdle debut 45 days ago; risky. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 6lb |
He's struggled to get competitive for three different yards this year, despite tumbling in the weights; having only his second go for Ryan Potter today and finished 44l adrift six days ago when co-favourite here (1m, heavy) on first attempt for him, albeit after a slow start; not often seen over this far; it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-time winner; yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance in March but ran quite well when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago and switches back to turf on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four AW wins on Polytrack, the latest more than four years ago, and he's likely to need more than a respectable sixth at Newcastle in May, when having a rare run on Tapeta, and also on his Chester form since; headgear returns for the first time since last July. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown most of his handicap form over 7f, winning twice on AW; however, both 2026 efforts suggest this return to 6f is worth exploring; effective on turf and he's on a handy mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
2 (11) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Three victories this year and just 1lb higher than for the most recent; has run with credit on soft ground, but all wins have come on good or faster. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (11) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
A third win this year when scoring by a length here last month and reportedly never travelled next time at Chester; could be given another chance, though the draw is not ideal. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Win number three in seven starts this year when always prominent and collecting by a length at Beverley (7.4f); that was in a good time and he's only 2lb higher; clear claims from a good draw. |

Won four races on the trot in 2023; beat nothing in two races last summer after a long absence and now returns from another one; new yard. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won four races in succession in 2023, three over 7f on the AW, the other over 1m here (good); hasn't won since; mainly disappointing last season and tailed off on AW on stable debut last time; best watched for now. |
33/1 |

3 (8) |
23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a four-timer over 7f/1m on turf/AW between March and June 2023, but gradually lost his way last year; plenty to prove starting out for another new yard after 11 months off. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Won twice at Hamilton in September (6f, good to soft and soft); not so good twice since and likely vulnerable at this level. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Back to 6f when winning successive Hamilton handicaps in September (good to soft/soft) and it was a belated return to 5f when below par last time; however, this is a tougher grade than she's accustomed to. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Benefited from the return to 6f of late, winning both starts here (good to soft and soft); flying high but has a penalty to carry in a better race back over 5f for the first time since her debut; still not ruled out. |
9/1 |
