3rd 7 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f winner in 2025; regressive in 2026, tenth of 13 at Windsor last time on first run after wind surgery; very best form is over further but he has fallen below his last winning mark and Seamus Cronin's claim is a plus. |
16/1 |

10th 1 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time 6f scorer in 2025; failed to build on an encouraging reappearance Newbury fourth when eighth of ten at Ascot (6f) in May; has since undergone wind surgery, so can't be ruled out off a handy-looking mark. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well on C&D return in 2025 before winning his next two over 6f, at Leicester (good to firm; made all) and York; his form took a downward turn after but his recent Newbury fourth was a step in the right direction and he's only 2lb higher than for the York win; looks good for a prominent show. |

C&D winner one year ago; began the season with a good fourth in Listed company at Haydock but it has been a struggle since, albeit in good company; drops in class today but others look stronger. |

Has only won over 6f and returns to this trip after a second over 7f at Chester and a heavy defeat at York; seems too up and down for comfort but her best form brings her right into this. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract. |
5/1 |
|
13th 1 (16) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A four-time 6f scorer for Ismail Mohammed; yet to hit top form in a trio of runs for his current yard this season and beat only one in 6f Hamilton handicap 24 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
20/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been on the AW; ran an encouraging race when fourth of eight on his stable debut at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June but he wasn't able to build on that when dropped back to 5f at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; back up in trip. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Better known for AW exploits and has had few chances on turf, running his best race in this sphere when fourth of eight at Newbury (6f, good to soft; stable debut after 223 days off) four weeks ago; potentially well treated and he's interesting with that run behind him. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won by 4l last Saturday to complete a Lingfield turf double; raised a whopping 12lb but is still well treated on best form, which includes close second (off 4lb higher) in this contest in 2025; fighting chance. |
14/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

Absent since running respectably when favourite for AW contest in January; on a two-year losing spell but is attractively treated off his lower mark back on turf; further market support should be noted. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner who made all at Ripon (6f, good) in June and he had an excuse after missing the break in the Great St Wilfrid there last time; now drops back in grade and he's a big player if he can get back near best. |
3/1 |
|
6th 4 (15) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Positives include a C&D record comprising a win and a second and he arrives in top form; whether he is quite well enough treated for a race of this nature remains to be seen though. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Stumbled/unseated in first-time visor (retained since) at Carlisle in May but posted a career-best when winning by 2l over C&D (good) in June, and he was denied a clear run when third of six at Pontefract (6f, good) subsequently; high on the list. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Unexposed at 6f; this mark is in range judged on his two placed efforts this winter; failed to fire on Good Friday but he received a kick before the start which won't have helped; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

9th 12 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

No win since May 2025 (Thirsk) but is rated 14lb lower as a result; had every chance when fourth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; beaten over 6l) 17 days ago; more required here with Paul Mulrennan back aboard. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Sole start here saw him finish eighth in the 2023 edition of this; picked up a Thirsk handicap last May but no wins since and his last two efforts have been modest, albeit he fluffed the start last time; career-low mark. |

10th 3 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

8th 2 (7) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two course wins as a 2yo, including a Listed success over 5f; last year's two wins came on AW but he is down in the weights ahead of this return to action and his course record means he can't be ruled out. |
