16th 12 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Front-runner who won two in a row in the first half of summer (5f, good) but he finished down the field at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) and it was the same story at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) on Sunday. |
50/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
3yo who made all in eight-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) in June and rallied to follow up at Sandown (5f, good), beating four rivals; down the field at Glorious Goodwood last time but he's back into a smaller field today and could give it a good go from the front. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; made a striking winning stable debut over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago; hit with a 10lb rise but that form has been boosted twice since; massively respected. |
11/2 |

1st 8 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Second of nine at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, after which he was sold out of Harry Charlton's stable for 18,000gns; should have more to offer over this trip; interesting. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7 and his claims aren't compelling, but soft ground may not have suited this 3yo last time and there have been signs of promise previously; edging down the weights and things may click at some point. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-8; twice placed over 7f on turf this summer, but hasn't met market expectations in either start on the AW; needs more. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
0-7 but in first-time cheekpieces when keeping on well for third over a tad further at Ffos Las on Tuesday; may have more to offer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has shown glimpses of ability, such as when fourth on his debut at Newbury (6.5f, soft) last October, and when third at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last month, but below that level at Wolverhampton since; first-time cheekpieces now on and not one to give up on. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four AW wins from 5f to 7f; respectable sixth of 12 at York (6f, good) before two visits to Chester where she was scuppered by the widest stall on the first occasion and then raced freely when better drawn a month ago; could go well if giving herself a chance. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four AW wins from 5f to 7f; good sixth of 12 at York (6f, good) before scuppered by the widest stall over 7f here four weeks ago; better boxed this afternoon and she likes to be handy in her races; interesting. |
7/2 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
A four-time AW winner (from 5f to 7f) this year and ran really well when third over 7.5f here (good) in May; too keen when well held in big-field Goodwood handicap (7f) but looked back in form when sixth of 12 at York (6f, good) 15 days ago; drawn widest. |

2nd 5 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won her first two handicaps over 7f on good to firm ground at Leicester and here after returning in May, but may have done too much early when third of six at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month; the drop in trip should help and she would be a big player if handling the likely different conditions. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
2-2 since switched to handicaps this season, with both wins gained over 7f on fast ground; raised just 1lb for latter success and the form has been well advertised by the runner-up since; hard to beat if stamina holds out over this new trip. |
8/11 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Showed little in three AW novices last back-end but much improved when making a winning turf/handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in May; she should be able to cope with a 5lb rise and looks the one to beat. |

4th 4 (5) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent maiden who's been turned over at short prices a few times of late, the past twice in 0-50 classified company; a poor effort 12 days ago will need forgiving for a yard also responsible for Follow My Heart. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 but she's finished runner-up in three of her last five starts including in a classified event at Bath (5.7f, good) last time; stall one could pose some problems here but she usually comes from off the pace and is not ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
11-race maiden but she was second of 17 at Nottingham (5f, good) in April; however, she was well held over this C&D 32 days ago and needs to bounce back. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No improvement for the drop into a classified race when seventh of ten at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; 16-1) on her seasonal/stable debut 19 days ago; too much to prove. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
No worthwhile form in three runs (5f-7f) for Dominic Ffrench Davis in 2025; needs this yard switch to spark major progress. |

Betting Forcast
7/4 One And Gone, 20/1 Phantom Shadow, 14/1 Cool Doc Boy, 11/4 Grand Vista, 40/1 Slack Bob, 2/1 Cool Molly, 16/1 Escape Magic, 66/1 Magnificent Mel, 66/1 Imthequeenofsheba, 33/1 Peas And Queues
Verdict
Ollie Sangster’s Southwell runner-up Cool Molly and One And Gone, now starting out for Ian Williams, have the form to go well but the vote goes to GRAND VISTA, who made a promising debut when fourth at Newbury and can improve sufficiently to get off the mark.[Peter Entwistle]
