21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
A six-time winner (including here) in 2025; back in good nick of late, third of nine in 1m handicap here ten days ago; in the mix off the same mark. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unlucky behind a subsequent winner last month and gave her running once more latest, both in small-field C&D affairs that weren't run to suit; the return to a bigger field should help and she has every chance, despite a 3lb higher mark. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Sole success came in 1m Ayr classified event last July; off seven months and yet to fire this summer, eighth in 1m2f classified event at Ayr last time; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

1-18, that win in a newly applied visor here (1m, good to soft; 16-1) last July; finished sixth behind Golden Valour on return from six-month break over C&D latest; could strip fitter. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won a classified event here (1m, good to soft) last July and reached the frame in his next five starts; looks interesting on that form but he lost his way during the winter and has bit to prove after 198 days off. |

Two of his four wins have been here but he's 4-61 overall and has offered little this year. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C&D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole Flat win came at Redcar in May 2024; was out of the handicap when running well to finish second in similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) under Kayla Ruddy last month; hasn't matched that in two subsequent starts but the return to this sphere may help; not discounted. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
1-27 on Flat turf, the win coming on soft ground over 1m at Redcar in May 2024 (first-time hood); gave it a good go from the front when runner-up over this C&D last month but she failed to beat a rival home at Ayr (1m2f) two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 6f here last autumn (soft) and also shaped well when fourth over C&D in May (good); not at his best over 5f on AW last time; could go well back up in trip. |
14/1 |

9th 1 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only run over 5f once, when well held over C&D two years ago, and has done most recent racing over 7f; resumed in decent form and this is easier if anything but the drop back in trip from the outside stall would have to be a worry; headgear returns. |
13/2 |

4th 8 (6) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won back-to-back, here (6f) and Wolverhampton (7f), last October; higher in the weights now and Ethan Tindall is booked for Ideal Guest; raced freely when seventh of nine at Wolverhampton (7f; 16-1) two months ago; others more obvious. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |
|
9 (3) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |
