17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
A dual winner (around 1m) in 2025 but he's yet to fire this season, only ninth of 11 in 1m Redcar handicap four weeks ago; others appeal more. |
20/1 |

9th 11 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped 8lb lower than when last winning a handicap for good reason; his last two starts didn't suggest a return to winning ways was imminent. |

9th 6 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |

3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple wins include three over C&D earlier in his career; has run well on occasions since a narrow Musselburgh win (7f, good) in April off this mark and a recent never-nearer third of eight there under Jake Dickson puts him in this picture; yard runs three. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
C&D win off this mark in April; mixed since but his latest third at Ayr (6f, soft) was a sound effort and today he has the assistance of an apprentice who is good value for his 7lb claim; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins this year, the latest off this mark at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; penultimate Hamilton seventh suggested he was still in good form; no surprise to see him in the thick of it. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won over C&D in March of 2025 off 11lb higher; 0-12 in the meantime and quiet so far this term. |

12th 9 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when winning at Doncaster last March and may have needed his comeback run there this March, when mid-division; however, his form went the wrong way as last year developed and he needs to get back on track. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Multiple winner in his young days including over C&D, but has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, one of which was on Jersey; may find a couple too strong. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |
|
9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |
66/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the most reliable and winless since March 2024 for Gemma Tutty; hinted at a revival though on just second run for his new yard with fourth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Goodwood last month; not without interest off a tumbling mark with Oisin Murphy up for the first time. |
11/4 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Lost his way last autumn and, after changing hands for 9,000gns, he was out the back on stable debut at Bath (1m, good; fine on soft); potentially well handicapped but has enough to prove. |
6/1 |
