2nd 3 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer who made it three wins in his last five starts when making all at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Friday; it's over three years since he defied a mark this high but he has to be respected in his current mood. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |
11/2 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
4th 14 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Turned things around with a win at Wolverhampton last month and she followed up in a Ffos Las handicap (5f, good); couldn't quite get the job done in her hat-trick bid at Lingfield (6f, AW), but that was another big run and she's only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip; shortlisted. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to winning form in a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month and followed up in a 0-65 handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but still respected in her current mood and the return to this trip is no problem. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Came good for current stable at seventh attempt, with emphatic 5f AW win 12 days ago; will be fine back on turf and recent 5lb rise ought to be manageable; respected. |

8th 6 (9) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has been a grand servant to the yard with two of his nine wins coming over C&D; latest success came at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month and he should not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
6th 12 (3) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over C&D (fifth course victory) in July and not discredited with fourth of six in 5f classified event at Wolverhampton ten day ago; very much one to consider back here. |

Arrives out of sorts, finishing well behind Wee Mary and stablemate Sixcor in two outings over C&D this month. |
50/1 |
|
7th 10 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives out of sorts, last of seven over C&D on his return 16 days ago; it's now 13 runs since his C&D success back in 2024. |
33/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
His only win since July 2019 came over this C&D but it is easy enough to look elsewhere now he returns from a 213-day break. |
33/1 |
