19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Often front-runner but not when he won twice on the AW last August, including here over 7f; 8lb above the most recent success but he gave it a good go from the front when third at Ayr (1m, good) 11 days ago; has to be considered. |

3rd 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gave it a good go from the front at Southwell (7f; fine at 1m) recently but he's been found wanting a few times since his last win, off 7lb lower on the AW last August; rain is forecast and he's unraced on ground slower than good. |

Things didn't pan out his way when among the favourites for a Kempton handicap early in the month, back from a break; better than that and is 1-1 on Tapeta having won here last summer; one to consider. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has found some improvement up in trip in recent weeks, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before following up with more to spare on turf at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) six days ago; not obviously well treated under a 5lb penalty (new mark due to be 2lb lower) but is unexposed at around 1m3f+ and on turf. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in two of her three turf races; off the mark when prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f; 3lb lower), leading close home; soft ground would be a first but solid chance otherwise. |
4/1 |

0-12 but has proved herself capable off higher marks than today's and ran second over 1m2f at Nottingham 11 days ago; kept on well that day and goes up in trip here; considered. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and was as good as ever when runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he could make another bold bid. |
9/2 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A fair 7f winner in 2025 for Grant Tuer; has failed to fire this season though, and underwent breathing surgery before coming in seventh in 1m handicap here for new yard two weeks ago; lots more is needed. |
14/1 |
|
7th 13 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Safely held on all three starts for Grant Tuer this spring but has since been given a wind op; makes stable debut from a good mark; well worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

2lb lower than when seeing off 15 rivals in a 7f handicap (good ground) at York last summer; neither run this year points to him being the answer today though. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he isn't very consistent and ran particularly poorly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time; has questions to answer. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Plenty of promise in the spring and was returning from a lengthy break when sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Southwell three weeks ago (1m; 11-2); that was a tad underwhelming but it's still early days; best RPR came on good to soft and softer here could benefit. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three promising runs in the spring (didn't see out 1m2f when last seen); missed three engagements in the space of five days in June (two ground related, one lameness); makes her belated handicap debut and could well take a step forwards. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |

11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 in handicaps since winning a Chelmsford maiden (7f, Polytrack) for Alice Haynes a year ago, but his fourth of ten over C&D on penultimate start offers some hope; visor now given a go. |
11/2 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled in handicaps for Alice Haynes after winning a maiden here over 7f last January but he ran a solid race at Wolverhampton (7f; reported to have lost a shoe) on his stable debut 19 days ago, while leaving the impression that he's worth another go over this trip; contender. |
7/4 |
|
2 (11) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Narrowly off the mark on his second start in a Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) in January, but has regressed in three handicaps since; cheekpieces made no difference on turf debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last month (gelded since); best to look elsewhere. |

Course scorer but it's now 17 starts since his last success; tried in blinkers when a below-par fifth of six in 1m2f Leicester handicap 24 days ago; more is needed in a refitted visor. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Some good runs in defeat this year, including here; however, only fourth of six behind Clipsham Noble over C&D (good to firm) last time and he's 0-16 since winning his first two starts in winter 2024/25; first-time blinkers replace the visor. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins over 7f on Newcastle AW on his first two starts; has been running well since the visor was added, finishing runner-up at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May and twice finishing fourth at this track (1m4f/1m2f); solid claims. |

Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap at Redcar (good) in June; creditable second of four over 2m there (good to firm) since, both under today's rider Cian Horgan. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap here last month; back up 4lb but another bold showing is on the cards with this return to 2m a likely plus. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Warm favourite for his Newcastle debut in November but could only manage fourth; no real progress since and although he should be sharper with a recent run behind him, he does have a bit to prove now upped to a mile and fitted with a visor. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |

No progress in 6f AW events in late 2024; however, may be capable of better now handicapping over new trip on turf; market should offer further guidance on reappearance. |
