13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Had dropped to his last winning mark when third of seven at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last time, but he is now 0-14 on turf; another placing may be his best hope. |

3rd 3 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-13 on turf, but has won three races on the AW, the latest at Newcastle in January (1m); not been at his best recently. |
13/2 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best RPRs over shorter (6f) but did make all in a slowly run C&D Class 4 in January (4-1); failed to get majorly competitive - often slowly away - in his last three starts; return to AW might assist, along with Ethan Tindall's 5lb claim. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
4lb lower than for his win at Newcastle (7f) last September; up and down in 2026 and others bring stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f. |

Three-time AW winner; only 1-17 on turf but gained the success off current mark at Ayr (6f, good) in August; good chance provided she returns to that form. |

Just one win from her 42 starts; hard to crab her consistency but she's back up in class in a deep race for the grade. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has been running well for a while now and was only a length away last week at Ffos Las (extended 7f); however, finds winning extremely hard with a strike-rate of 1-41. |
5/1 |
|
8 (10) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest 1-40 strike-rate but scores very high marks for her consistency on turf/AW over the last year or so; runner-up off today's mark at Southwell (1m, AW) three weeks ago; probably on the premises again here. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his front-running win at Chelmsford in July but he hasn't matched it in three runs since, including back at Chelmsford 17 days ago; others appeal more. |

2 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Returned to winning form when making all over C&D in July; twice held on turf in the meantime, but one for the shortlist if the return here galvanises him. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained last three wins on AW, including latest start; effective on turf but has never won away from Leicester in this sphere; something to prove back up in grade. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time. |
12/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap in April but he beat only two home back there eight days later; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue. |

2nd 3 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Productive spell in June/July 2024 featured a C&D success off 6lb higher; poor striike-rate since but he ran encouragingly at Ayr (first turf attempt of 2026) most recently; in the mix. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win in 7f AW novice; has run respectably over this trip on grass but no soft-ground form to speak of and others are more likely to handle the conditions; first-time tongue-tie latest, now discarded. |
25/1 |

9th 9 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Her only win came over C&D and she made a pleasing return from three months off at Pontefract in June (6f, good); another break to contend with this time and connections now turn to a tongue-tie. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won a 7f Dundalk maiden on his second start but beaten 14 times since; went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month though and a subsequent lesser effort can be partially excused by him getting upset in the stalls. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to add to his Irish AW maiden win in 2024 but has made the frame on all three appearances this season, most recently when very close second at Musselburgh (7f, good) a fortnight ago; only 1lb higher here and should cope if the ground eases; likely contender. |
6/1 |

2nd 8 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
AW winner in Ireland; mostly consistent in defeat for current yard, after wind surgery in last two races; this is his trip and unlikely to be too far away. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive as a 3yo (C&D winner) but regressed last year and has continued to slide this season; hit a bit of traffic when not beaten far in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest but others look to have stronger claims. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
On a losing run and he beat only one in 7f Carlisle handicap 18 days ago; this C&D winner needs to take a big step forward in first-time cheekpieces. |
