2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |

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 |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins (6f-1m) and a multitude of placed efforts, including a close third to Saytaar (Harry The Rogue second) over C&D in March; has struggled on turf in his last three appearances (7.5f-1m2f) but his mark has eased accordingly. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

3-21 on the AW but 0-16 on the grass, never in the first two; beaten about 10l in last two races; not hard to turn elsewhere. |
14/1 |

6th 3 (8) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All three wins from 36 starts have been on the AW at Newcastle (6f/1m); solid effort when third at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but he needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract (1m) three weeks ago; has stamina to prove for this longer trip. |

Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |

3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

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. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

8 (10) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Operating below last year's peak form but posted sound effort when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last week and remains on same mark as for emphatic C&D success in November; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Went close over C&D (good to firm) last month and 1m seemed to stretch him back here since (all wins at 7f, including here); his last success came off this mark; likely to be on the premises under Rodriguez. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
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. |

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 |

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 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since a Dundalk maiden win in October 2024; series of good runs this summer, including tried in blinkers at Ayr last week, but he has work to do with Runninsonofagun on that evidence. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Sole win in 7f AW maiden at Dundalk as 3yo; slightly frustrating for this yard as he's been involved in some tight finishes for them, including in this race last year and when just behind Supreme Clarets at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in July, but fitting blinkers could help; solid chance, if so. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
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. |

2-6 over C&D; ended a 17-race losing run at Chester (7f, good) last month and only beaten just over 2l into fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; shouldn't have an issue with the return to this trip and shortlisted. |

Won his first race since September 2024 when scoring at Chester last time (7f, good; third run in cheekpieces, runner-up third there the next day); up 3lb; goes well on fast ground; a possible. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (7) |
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. |
