10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |

C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9. |

Finished second in a 6f fillies' handicap at Wolverhampton last February when rated 4lb higher; not shone in two runs after an absence but down in the weights and the addition of a visor could give her a lift. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race last year off a 3lb lower mark, when the strong pace set things up for him; got into the habit of blowing the start lately and will need the breaks from stall 13 but the return here will help (two wins and two seconds from eight runs over C&D). |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Sightly disappointing after sluggish start at Newmarket this month but returned to turf with three good runs this spring, the most notable a win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on second occasion; features prominently in calculations. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
In good form since returning from a break, winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May before close third at Salisbury (6f, soft); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and he could be in the shake-up. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Unraced on soft; runner-up over this C&D last month before going on better at Windsor on good to firm 17 days ago; still fairly treated following a 3lb rise but testing ground would be a concern. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only 3-31 but won comfortably over C&D (good) earlier this month with a first-time eyeshield joining reapplied blinkers and that was from the same stall as today; back up 7lb but has coped with this mark in the past. |

1st 1 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins at around 1m when trained by Ed Bethell; his losing run is mounting up and a first-time eye-shield is now applied along with returning blinkers; now on a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better. |

11th 1 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has inconsistent recent form figures but was hindered by meeting trouble last time when bidding for a Wolverhampton double (6f); scored twice off current mark at Chelmsford (7f/6f) in 2025; fighting chance. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground. |
4/1 |

5th 14 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good runs this year, most recently a dominant success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; that wasn't far off his very best and he's one to consider up 4lb. |

Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced at two; yet to score but she was placed in her first five starts (6f/7f, AW) last year; 196-day break preceded a poor effort in November, however, and wind surgery hasn't improved matters judged on two runs this year; tongue-tie and blinkers thrown into the mixer and she's dangerously handicapped if rediscovering her mojo on this turf debut. |
20/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
In the frame in her first five starts (high 60's RPR's), including when twice finding one stronger here (6f-7f); has failed to beat a single rival the last twice (either side of wind surgery) so she has a bit to prove at present; easing mark. |
16/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise in AW novice/maiden runs in the first half of 2025; drawn widest when well beaten at Kempton on her handicap debut ten weeks ago (28-1); had a wind op after that run and not impossibly treated if it has the desired effect. |

Verdict
A case can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to JUSTCALLMEPETE (nap) who can gain a deserved first victory for Tony Carroll on the back of a very good Wolverhampton second. David Evans’ Supreme King shaped with promise when sixth at Doncaster recently and rates a big danger though, while others to consider are Hierarchy, Lerwick, Havana Joy and Bill Plumb.[Peter Entwistle]
