3rd 17 (15) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 13 days ago; not out of things despite a 5lb weights rise. |
10/1 |

1st 7 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Better known for his exploits over further but he ran well for second in a C&D handicap last August; several good runs in defeat this year but this looks a competitive race in which to end a two-year drought. |

4th 15 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but he's been in good form since this visor went on, bumping into an unexposed 3yo when second of four at Catterick (7f, good to firm) and again finishing runner-up at Chester (7.5f, good) last time; in each-way calculations once more. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
It was a fourth AW success when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday, but he knows how to get it done on turf too and his previous second of six over C&D (good to firm) was a creditable effort; has won off this mark and Billy Loughnane takes over; player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Trainer has won with his last three runners and has a good course record with older horses (10-35); this 5yo is 3-3 round here, is fairly treated, in form and won't be hurt by going back into a bigger field as a hold-up runner; leading player. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Kempton (7f, AW) in February and has a lower turf mark; however, well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Ascot, and this 9yo is now 0-23 on grass; others are preferred. |
16/1 |

3 (12) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner on Kempton AW, most recently in February (below par there since); has form over C&D but the 9yo is 0-22 on turf and not the percentage call. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Has run well in competitive handicaps this summer, notably his third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) two runs ago; big shout on that form if he can brush off his below-par effort at Newbury. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Chelmsford and he has run well in competitive handicaps on turf this summer, most recently finishing third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (15) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sixth of 22 over C&D (good) in May on reappearance and further respectable efforts when fifth of 14 on his next two starts (7f, good to firm); however, he needs something extra to return to winning ways today. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Turned things around with a win at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month but he was only seventh of ten in his follow-up bid at Wolverhampton (favourite); used to act on Polytrack; in-form yard also runs Split Elevens; inconsistent. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Unable to land a telling blow on first two stable starts but rewarded good market support when scoring by a neck at Southwell (7f) this month and remains well handicapped on older form; high on the list. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up three times in a row on AW this April-June, but below-par sixth at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago and he failed to shine when tackling turf last year; has his first outing on grass of 2026. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Eight-time AW winner who has finished runner-up over C&D in his last three starts including a close call on his penultimate run; should give it another good shot and he's respected. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Prolific winner who arrives on the back of three placed efforts over C&D; now 2lb higher but likely to give his running once again. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Stays 1m but all eight of his wins have come over 7f, the latest at Kempton 18 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Gradually back to form this term, most recently prevailing at Goodwood (6f, good to soft); has never won above Class 5 but she remains favourably treated, having defied current mark last term (over 7f). |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in April and he's held his form back on turf since, including a close call at Salisbury (6f, soft) and a 2l sixth in a big field at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; still looks on a workable mark and he could be a big factor back on AW. |
4/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Arrives in top form after a 7f win at Kempton and two second places over 6f; hard to knock and should be thereabouts. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced on soft; 2-14 on the AW (wins over 7f) compared to 0-11 on turf but it was a good effort when second of ten at Newmarket (6f, good) 24 days ago; contender if handling conditions. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Won four for Richard Hughes (three on turf) at 5.5f-7f; promising start for this yard at Navan in June but never figured when failing to beat a rival back at Navan on latest; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark. |

9st 8lb |
Improved his record to 6-16 when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well below form in three subsequent runs; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs to get back on track |
8/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March on his reappearance but he's been below that level in both starts since, including at Newbury three weeks ago; drops in grade but others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
10th 9 (12) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back from a break to claim career win number six on the Kempton AW (7f) in March but then disappointed at Yarmouth (off this 3lb higher mark); consistent in the main since sent into handicaps and breaks tend to do him good. |
