18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on turf in the summer of 2023 but better known for his AW exploits since; well beaten at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) on last month's return to grass; others are safer. |
20/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance. |
25/1 |

13th 14 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who won off this mark on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) last month; two reasonable performances have followed (1m/1m2f, good to firm/good) but he needs something extra to come out on top today. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 (9) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has been around the block and mostly seen on the AW these days; he did win on debut for this yard at Ripon (1m, good; by a head) but then finished last at Sandown four days ago; unplaced in one previous run here. |
11/1 |

5th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Probably better known for his AW exploits nowadays but he led close home to cause 28-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Ripon (1m, good), his ninth career success; nudged up only 1lb for that and is a rare runner here for his Middleham-based trainer; respected. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet recaptured form for new connections this year but he's on a useful mark now, 12lb lower than a Haydock win (1m, good) last September; needs to show more than of late, even so. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Haydock (1m, good) last September but he's struggled for new yard this season and was a well-held fourth of five at Leicester last time; has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround. |

Signed off for Charlie Johnston/kicked off for James Tate in winning form; last or second last in four starts for current connections (ridden forward each time) and can only be watched; goes without headgear. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 attempts but he has run well in two of his three starts this year, including C&D; that said, he wouldn't appear to have much in hand of his mark. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
First turf win when a neck victor over C&D earlier this month (good) and might have followed up off this 3lb higher mark had he not been carried left late on at Windsor; 2lb higher in future; player. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Sandown (1m, good) last time, registering a first success on turf; back up 3lb but remains well treated on the pick of his AW form; gained his other wins back-to-back. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Has broadly respectable form since returned to turf, notably a good effort behind Dovey Moon; however, still may be more interesting when back on Chelmsford AW; 2-2 there compared to 0-18 elsewhere. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Another prominent racer; now a seven-time winner on the AW after this year's wins over C&D and at Wolverhampton (8.6f); those were Class 4s but he's got a canny habit of never winning by far so remains on a fair mark. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Having slipped down the weights he returned to winning ways with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; up 4lb but not handicapped out of things. |

1st 5 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two AW wins at 1m for previous yard and he has run to a fair level for this one, on AW and good to soft; on a handy mark now but needs to show he has the stamina for this stiff test back at 1m. |
25/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won with cheekpieces added at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in February but that was a seller and he's been well back in handicaps in three runs for his current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's untried at this trip and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Kempton (Polytrack) and Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; fair third of seven behind two of these at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; each-way claims down another 1lb if taking to this track at the first time of asking. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Game effort to win at Kempton in November (1m) and followed up off the same mark at Newcastle eight days later; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he forms part of a strong hand for Ian Williams. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Kempton and Newcastle in November; good third back at Kempton last month and not disgraced in Newcastle Class 2 with cheekpieces added (left off now) a fortnight ago; handily drawn for a prominent racer and needs considering back in a lower grade. |
