4th 8 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A dual 7f winner early in 2026 and he's holding his form well, beaten a nose when second of five in 7f Ayr handicap 25 days ago; this C&D scorer can make his presence felt. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has won twice over 7f this year, the first at Newcastle in January, the latest at Musselburgh in April (good); creditable third on last three starts, latest over C&D three weeks ago; each-way chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple wins include three over C&D earlier in his career; has run well on occasions since a narrow Musselburgh win (7f, good) in April off this mark and a recent never-nearer third of eight there under Jake Dickson puts him in this picture; yard runs three. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company. |
22/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
A fair 1m1f winner in 2025 but arrives out of sorts, beating one in 1m handicap at Pontefract eight days ago; others are preferred. |
40/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
A dual winner (around 1m) in 2025 but he's yet to fire this season, only ninth of 11 in 1m Redcar handicap four weeks ago; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped 8lb lower than when last winning a handicap for good reason; his last two starts didn't suggest a return to winning ways was imminent. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f on good or slower; on the slide in three starts this season but this combination of a drop in grade and new headgear may prompt a resurgence; return to shorter is also a plus; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
12th 6 (14) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winner on a handy mark but it's been a quiet start to this season and, even if back on song, looks vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far; the return of a visor might be no bad thing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D scorer who made a promising return from a poor draw when seventh of 22 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; figures on a handy-looking mark now and he's interesting. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month; only sixth off this mark at Redcar last Saturday but the fact he won this race off 2lb higher last year provides hope; draw could have been kinder. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Not quite at best this season but exploited some help from the handicapper when winning narrowly at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and ought to remain competitive after going back up 4lb. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025, including over this C&D; mainly below his best this season but he didn't run too badly when sixth at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; on a handy mark and now drops in grade. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who is without a win since September 2023; has posted some solid efforts this year, including when third of five at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last month, and makes each-way appeal. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
10yo who's the sole winner (seven times) in this, if not since autumn 2023, but last two outings at Bath have advertised the need to give him a longer run over 1m2f now; no ground or track issues, and he's among the likeliest. |
5/2 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since September 2023 but he is operating off a much-reduced mark now and he emerged from the pack to take a never-nearer third here eight days ago (1m2f, good); might need them to go too fast up front to win but he holds each-way claims all the same. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack), but has also won four times on Tapeta including here; latest effort back at Kempton can be excused and he is respected from just 1lb above his last winning mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time AW winner and the latest three have been over C&D; has mixed record for new trainer this season but he was runner-up at Southwell last time and remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for his win here in May; key player. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Seven-time AW winner who has four wins and a second to his name in five starts in 7f Tapeta handicaps; the drop back from 1m and switch from turf both look in his favour off his last winning mark. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
11-time AW winner, the latest a Newcastle seller for the Moores (1m, Tapeta) last October; regressive for this yard in the meantime despite plummeting in the weights; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

10th 7 (12) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |

9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |

Multiple winner down the years but this veteran has something to find on 2025 form; comfortably held last time, failing to back up his reappearance effort. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple winner who goes particularly well at Brighton where he was only 2l away last month (7f, good to soft) on his return from a lengthy break; might be vulnerable to younger limbs but should give his running. |
10/1 |
|
2 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off since September but he's proven when fresh having won at Epsom (7f, good) off 1lb higher on his reappearance last July; has won here four times from nine starts, including this race in 2022 off 3lb higher and he holds sound claims on his return. |
