21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights. |

2nd 6 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Another who has a better strike-rate on AW (7-19) than on turf (1-17); patchy form so far this year, but has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark and this is a drop in class; stable also runs Thunderstorm Katie. |
7/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Another who has a better strike-rate on AW than turf; not beaten far into fourth in a 5f handicap at Doncaster 17 days ago, a race where he fluffed the start; yet to shine at Ayr; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made a winning reappearance at Nottingham in April but he hasn't built on it in three runs since; blinkers now given a go. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all when winning off this mark on his comeback over C&D in the spring; bounced back from a poor one at Newmarket (doesn't seem to like it there) when not beaten far last time and there's no obvious reason he won't go well again. |
5/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All wins have been at 5f, the latest by a head at Nottingham in April (1lb lower); disappointing at Newmarket but ran poorly on his previous visit there; could bounce back from a handy draw. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
9yo who has dropped down the weights and showed spark when second of four at Nottingham last month; however, well beaten at Thirsk since and he's winless on turf since September 2021; others appeal more. |
50/1 |
|
12th 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three poor efforts since returned to turf; now back to the mark off which she won at Yarmouth (sole turf win) last July but she'll need a major revival against some in-form sprinters. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Won a Wolverhampton (5f) handicap in February off this mark, but she has beaten just one rival home in three runs since; others much safer. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level. |

5th 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

12-time winner, three of them here (5f/6f); not beaten far on last two starts and is on a fair mark so could go well. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times over 5f in 2025; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces with fourth of ten in 6f Chester handicap in June; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark here with headgear retained. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however. |
