24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 2-3 at Musselburgh when winning there over 7f in April off a 1lb lower mark than today's; beaten only 4l when seventh of 19 at York (7f, good) 11 days ago but stamina has to be a concern on just his third try over a 1m. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April, making it 2-3 at the Edinburgh venue, and he's just 2lb higher today; can't be totally dismissed but this 9yo is inconsistent and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (7f, good) last time. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Has performed well in two runs at the July festival, notably a win (off just 1lb lower) in this race last year; narrowly justified favouritism at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) latest start, setting up him well for a return to this track; respected. |
9/2 |

1st 7 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Shaped very well when second in a big-field York handicap (7f) in May but he's twice failed to build on it, just a fair sixth back there (7f) eight days ago; handily weighted but it's now 13 runs since his last victory. |
11/2 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has an underwhelming strike-rate, given his ability, and his two C&D runs last month (both good ground) rather sum him up, shaping very well when second of 22 at the Dante meeting but never involved when favourite eight days later; could pop up but it's likely things will need to drop this hold-up performer's way. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
12/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Into the veteran stage but in the form of his life this winter, finishing third over C&D before a Wolverhampton win and a Southwell second; likely vulnerable to an improver but should give his running again. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |

Winless since his debut in 2024 and he arrives below par, only sixth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last time; also has his stamina to prove. |
4/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Second in a Group 2 for Hugo Palmer as a 2yo before proving hard to place last year; found his level again but twice turned over at short prices recently (latest third has been boosted since) and has stamina to prove upped from 1m back on the AW. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Very smart 2yo who has lost his way but off a much reduced mark he was a close fourth at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) after being well backed; he might well have won that race on another day as he hit some traffic. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Back in reasonably good form, having made the frame in last two outings, beaten only 2l at Haydock latest; still quite fresh, having had a light 2025 campaign, and is 1lb below last winning mark; one to consider. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Came good 12 months ago when faced with testing ground so every drop of rain to fall beforehand will be welcomed; well beaten in two runs this year but quite possible she'll be seen to better effect this time. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in April; now 2lb lower and no problem with the return to 7f, but he needs to fare better than in his last three starts. |

9st 10lb |
A dual 7f/1m winner in 2024; lightly raced this term and got back on track when fifth of 11 in 7f Haydock handicap 12 days ago; one to consider off an easing mark with blinkers added. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; also close second off 1lb higher at Lingfield (7f) in December but his form dipped in two subsequent starts last winter; off for 169 days so his peak fitness has to be taken on trust. |

Front-running wins at Ascot and Chepstow this summer (both 7f, good to firm and good to soft); weak in the market and dropped away tamely at Newcastle five weeks ago; return to 7f and the redeployment of blinkers should give him a lift; considered. |

10st 12lb |
Once a sprinter on the Flat but has won twice over hurdles since joining current yard, a Hereford maiden and a C&D novice (both on good); hard to know what to make of his remote second in a handicap back here a month ago when the winner strolled home by some 26l. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

Useful on testing ground on the Flat early in career and this 4yo has tapped back into that promise over hurdles this spring, winning a maiden at Hereford (2m, good) in April on his second stable start and following up in a C&D novice (good); trainer won this with Clearance, after whom this race is named, in 2022 and 2024; intriguing candidate back in a handicap. |

6f winner for Ralph Beckett and came good at the sixth attempt over hurdles with a clearcut win at Hereford (2m, good; hood removed); this 4yo now carries a penalty but has less to prove than most of these. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer. |

Left low-key seasonal debut behind when second at Leicester (7f, good; well backed) in April; remains on a good mark but was safely held when back at Leicester last month and is drawn wide here. |
