20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; hasn't been in the same form in two turf outings since returning from a break but is back on his last winning mark and Phil Kirby has tasted recent success in this race. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; he was returning from a three-month break when weakening over 2m at Catterick this month and drops back down in trip today, but he has to prove he's fully effective on turf. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Six-race maiden over hurdles and 0-19 overall; hasn't shown enough in recent starts under either code to suggest a breakthrough is imminent, and finished tailed off over 2m4f at Worcester four days ago; goes up in trip with stamina to prove. |
14/1 |
|
7th 10 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles (0-5); ran poorly on the Flat last time (second-time visor) but very effective in cheekpieces and she has the form to feature off this mark. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles; not wholly disgraced at Bath (1m6f) last week when returned to this sphere but finished only a modest third of five and best form remains on AW. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a breakthrough success for her current yard over 1m5f here in January and not disgraced both runs since, third of nine in 1m6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago; she ought to be thereabouts again eased 1lb. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough on her 19th start under rules at Chelmsford (13.5f) last month when scoring by 7l; unable to match that when fourth in a classified at Wolverhampton (1m4f) eight days later but remains in form and not out of this. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
No win in her first 18 starts but she made the breakthrough when storming 7l clear in a Chelmsford handicap (1m5f) last week; now drops back to 1m4f but she hit a personal best with that success and is a major player again on this switch to a classified event. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Defied this mark at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last autumn and he had a close call over C&D in January; only sixth of seven on recent Yarmouth reappearance but that wasn't a bad effort and he ties in with two of today's rivals on that form; not ruled out back up in trip. |
15/2 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten over 1m3f at Windsor last August and otherwise confined to the AW; a winner on Tapeta (1m6f; 2lb lower) and was running well back in the spring; hard to discount. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (12) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in October and went close behind Forglen over this C&D in January; returned to form with 2l fourth to Forglen at Southwell (1m6f) a fortnight ago and may well be thereabouts. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
37 starts, with her only wins coming last year on AW in February and at Ffos Las (1m6f, good) in July; went off the boil this January-March and no revival 15 days ago, after a break, but she'd be a major player if back on song. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Two wins from 36 starts; runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in December but below that level in three starts since, including when a 12l third of ten here over 1m6f last time; still has place claims. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
28-race maiden; second on Southwell Tapeta (1m6f) last October and bits of form since, but others have to be preferred. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
27-race maiden; has raced exclusively on AW since finishing remote last of nine to Max Of Stars at Thirsk (1m4f) last September; modest fourth (beaten 11l) to Yakhabar when last seen at Southwell in March; unappealing stablemate of Speechman. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins on the AW and turf form is very unconvincing; others safer. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner but not since March 2025, and his record on turf is poor; last off four in Lingfield handicap (1m6f, good to firm) 12 days ago and not the percentage call here. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Regressive 6yo who has struggled in five hurdle runs this year and was well held back on the Flat in a classified event here (1m4f, AW) 12 days ago; this step back up in trip should suit but losing run is up to 20 and all of his three wins have been on AW; others preferred. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Four wins came on turf later in the year and made it 0-16 on the AW when tailed off over 1m6f here five weeks ago; on a career-low mark now but it's hard to find any other positives. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-15 on AW but not beaten far when seventh of 13 on comeback run here (1m3f) 16 days ago; steps back up in trip and down to a career-low mark so not out of this. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is a four-time winner on turf; 0-14 on AW but was a good second at Chelmsford on most recent attempt in this sphere; absent since September. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten on all four starts, including on handicap debut when ninth of ten at Newcastle (12.5f) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); steps up in trip and may have more to offer. |
66/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in three qualifying runs over 7f/1m, latterly his yard debut after over a year off; now steps up markedly in trip (bred to stay) for handicap debut with cheekpieces also added; worth a look in the betting. |
16/1 |
|
11th 2 (15) |
18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
14-1, needed some riding when last of five in novice at Southwell (7f, AW) ten days ago and now sports a visor; stoutly bred, surely one for middle distances (at the least) next year. |
40/1 |
