2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
All three wins have been on the AW (1m/1m4f) but she's a consistent mare with comparable form on turf and should give her running once more (second on previous visit here); chance. |
4/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent mare whose three wins on the AW include two here (1m/1m4f); still on a fair mark and should again run her race. |

4th 5 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW scorer; turf form features two good efforts but she's 0-4 in this sphere and was below par at Doncaster most recently; not the percentage call in this warmer contest. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner for Harry Charlton in 2024; not so good in that sphere for his current yard and came in last of six in 1m6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; hurdle debut. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024; suffered heavy defeats on first three starts back from an absence for new yard and latest second of three at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in this headgear combination was no big step back in the right direction as he was beaten 8l. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024, but has suffered heavy defeats in all three starts since returning for this yard in May; new headgear combination will need to make a big difference. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Winner off 3lb lower here last month (1m3f); firmly put in her place at Lingfield since, including by a load of 3yos latest. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to winning form in a slowly run apprentice handicap at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month and probably didn't stay 1m5f here five days later; new mark has now kicked in and she looks vulnerable to younger legs. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His 1m4f win on good to firm at Newmarket in July reads well but has finished behind Castle Stuart in their recent clashes and beat only one home in the John Smith's Cup four weeks ago; probably vulnerable off this mark. |
14/1 |
|
21th 15 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

Twice a winner in Britain for James Ferguson at 1m4f; kept to hurdling so far by current trainer, just okay form; first try at this extended trip, okay mark. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y |

Three-time British Flat winner for James Ferguson; no wins since 2024; enters handicap hurdle company for the first time now following moderate efforts in four maidens; best watched. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Perhaps best over further but he was only nabbed late on over C&D last week and, although 1lb higher, Toby Moore rides him for the first time claiming 7lb; can be inconsistent but he's run three excellent races in defeat around here; solid chance. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse last year; hasn't seriously threatened back on the Flat for current yard (best effort was here in May) and ideally wants further. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse last year, including this race on good to firm; hasn't seriously threatened back on the Flat for current yard and it remains to be seen whether a return to York sparks a full-scale revival. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1-2 on the AW and 0-9 on turf, though in the frame seven times as when third of 15 in apprentice handicap over C&D (good) on his reappearance last month; a couple of those in behind have won since and he makes the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 14 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November, his tenth start; not seen again since but has a favourable draw and could plausibly have untapped potential over middle distances on turf. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last July, but he's been up and down since then and was only fifth of six at Salisbury two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to get back near best. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two creditable efforts at Epsom (8.5f/1m4f) from his three runs this season; could go well again back at his optimum trip but his last win was 13 months ago and he's ideally suited by good or slower ground. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
All wins have been at 1m2f and he ran well over the extended 1m here on reappearance, before a lesser show at Sandown; his record at this track is very solid, but those on good to firm and at 1m4f less so. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 1m4f winner; ran creditably (clear fourth) back over 1m6f last time, while leaving the impression 2m is worth a go; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces (has form in blinkers/visor). |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Record is 2-10; gelded prior to success at Thirsk and respectable effort at York this term, both over 1m4f; still on career-high mark but ran well in sole 1m6f attempt and may be capable of another good run. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran poorly on final start last term but gelded soon afterwards and, with visor/blinkers dispensed with, he returned with a narrow win in 12-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month, gradually working his way to the front in final strides under 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer in what's only his second campaign. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Sold for 600,000gns after winning a 1m6f Ascot Listed race (good to soft) for Andrew Balding last autumn; didn't make the expected impact over hurdles for Nicky Henderson earlier this year (pulled up in Triumph at Cheltenham when last seen) but resumes his Flat career back with a yard which is in tremendous form. |
6/1 |

3 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who was sold for 600,000gns later in October; flopped at long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh last month; brought out just six days later for Grade 2 at Kempton (again good to soft) where he did better, but was weakening when hampered two out; should get the hang of this discipline in due course, but probably too late to feature in this finish. |
66/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who changed hands for 600,000gns last autumn; went off long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) last Sunday but compromised his chance by racing freely/jumping none too fluently and could finish only fourth; it's far too soon to be writing him off but he needs a major leap forward just six days on. |

1-14 on the Flat, the win coming over about 1m3f at Yarmouth (good; fair form) in April; beaten 14l into second in a six-runner maiden hurdle at Huntingdon a month ago; likely to need more here. |

2nd 3 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Odds-on winner over nearly 1m4f at Yarmouth (good) last month and ran okay on faster ground at Leicester (both runs in a visor); he's been found a very winnable race for his hurdle debut. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f) in June and she had some close calls on turf the following month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she couldn't hang in there back on AW last time and that was a bit disappointing; mixed messages. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has improved this summer, winning at Hamilton (1m3f) in June and losing out by narrow margins on next two starts; soft ground excuses a subsequent defeat but her recent Brighton run suggests improvement is needed back on Polytrack (has form on the surface). |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
An improving 3yo at about this trip before finishing last of 12 runners at York, where she was encountering slow ground for the first time; back on a sound surface she's dangerous to dismiss of what's still a fair mark. |
