15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner off this mark on soft ground (also won on good to firm) last autumn; his recent efforts have been no more than respectable but he's nicely handicapped back at venue which suits. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Form at Pontefract features two wins last term and a close second during a consistent spell this spring; however, finished almost 6l behind Rock Opera here last time and has work to do to reverse those placings. |
13/2 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home over 7f at Southwell in March and appreciated the drop to 6f when winning there 20 days ago following a short break; both wins on turf have been on good to soft, and has claims off this 3lb higher mark. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't get home over 7f here in March and is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in January; off two months, but has won after much longer absences and high on the list. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; today's return to sprinting is in his favour but he's likely to be vulnerable at this level. |
40/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Raced exclusively at shorter, gaining most wins over 6f; looks likely to be outstayed and outclassed upped in trip/grade. |
66/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kept trying when third at Doncaster last time (6f) but was beaten over 3l and he's not looked well handicapped since scoring by 6l in April; he's also only 1-16 over 7f. |

9st 9lb |
Won at York last summer (5f, good to soft) on her second start but beaten 14 times since; ran okay without improving for the step up to 7f at Kempton two weeks ago; drops in class but drawn widest and others may have her measure. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Hamilton (6f, good) last month on second start back from a break and the neck runner-up went one better there next time; he's used to plying to his trade in a lower grade but is not discounted up just 2lb. |
15/2 |

1st 4 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Carlisle winner on debut in June 2023 (5f, good to firm); gained another win at Wolverhampton in January (5f) and fair run back on turf when fourth at Pontefract last time (6f); a possible, but perhaps better at shorter. |
15/2 |

4th 8 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Only turf win came at Carlisle on debut in June 2023 (5f, good to firm); won again at Wolverhampton in January (5f) but may just need this after 122-day break. |

Record of 0-12 this term but has frame possibilities on recent form and win possibilities provided his game is raised a touch; still 13lb below last winning mark. |

9st 5lb |
Ended 2024 with a pair of soft-ground 6f wins at Catterick, the second of them off 13lb higher; handicapper has held the upper hand this year but conditions will suit and he helps form a strong hand for Tim Easterby. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Can miss the break but he's on a dangerous mark and was runner-up here (7f, good) in May before a respectable fourth at Chepstow last month; this return to AW is no problem and he has each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
5lb lower than when winning at Brighton last September (6f, soft); solid second, albeit put in his place by the winner, at Lingfield four weeks ago (7f, good); drying conditions may suit others more. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

His fourth win (Brighton last September) temporarily halted a downward trajectory but he hasn't been placed since; best to look elsewhere. |

9th 4 (1) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row over 6f last May and July (good and good to soft) but he's had just three inconclusive runs this year, again slowly away but finding little and eased at Newmarket 25 days ago; has something to prove. |
33/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Smart handicapper back in the day for Eddie Lynam; wasn't able to add to his tally of five wins when moving to Britain; operating at a much lower level nowadays, but not showing much for present trainer. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood. |
5/2 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and followed up when ridden by Chrstian Howarth over that same C&D 12 days ago, making all; he did it well last time and 9lb rise may not stop a bold bid for the hat-trick. |
10/11 |
|
1st 7 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning on good to firm over this C&D 19 days ago, beating seven rivals; back up 4lb but he's been placed off higher marks in the past and could go well. |

9st 3lb |
13-race maiden; two decent seconds this season, including last time when beaten 1.25l in a 6f handicap at Pontefract (good; ran on well in closing stages); interesting on first try at 7f. |

2nd 1 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Still a maiden and balance of form this season doesn't strongly suggest he'll defy top weight in this field; on a positive note, he's nicely treated on peak 3yo efforts. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner including over C&D; his last success was 17 months ago but he returned after a short break with an eye-catching fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, Tapeta) last week; didn't get much luck in that race and he's in the mix back up in trip; visor reapplied. |

4th 9 (1) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

His C&D third in March was his only effort of note since wind surgery last summer; it hasn't been a springboard to better things and he's not a solid option. |

4th 7 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best. |
20/1 |
