31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Proven winner who's turned in two solid efforts for Tom Kiely-Marshall lately, backing up his Newcastle win off 5lb lower with a second on turf (again from the front); hard to discount him in current form. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ten career wins divided between turf and the AW; well on top last time at Newcastle under Tom Kiely-Marshall but back up 5lb and it's been over two years since he defied a mark in the 70s. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest of his nine wins was over C&D in February off a 1lb higher mark; that helps show that he needs a second look, despite mixed fortunes since. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-19 but has been placed ten times; returns from a break and is down to a career-low mark; hood worn on recent starts is left off; more exposed than the opposition and vulnerable to an improver. |
13/2 |
|
10th 10 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-18 but has shown ability as when second of nine at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) ten days ago; return to this trip not a problem and he holds each-way claims again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he got right back on track when fourth of 11 in 1m Southwell handicap nine days ago, doing best of those held up off a steady pace; he's effective at this longer trip and is one for the shortlist. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |

9st 8lb |
Three wins over 1m2f this year, including at this track; runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in June but below his best in two starts since; drops in grade but others look stronger. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May and second of five there (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but he was beaten 4l and has finished down the field either side of that penultimate start; others have more pressing claims. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Best known for AW exploits and yet was struggling on Tapeta back in the spring; only 1-22 on turf, lacks a run and he's up against in-form 3yos. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win on the AW came at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; has posted some good placed efforts since and left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 13 there over 1m3f last time; can be slowly away but is considered. |
6/1 |

6th 3 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and has strung together a long line of minor honours this year; should be seriously involved. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoying an excellent year and garnered a sixth success in ten-runner handicap at Ayr (1m2f, soft) in June; good second of 13 there (good to soft) back from a short break 24 days ago; likely to give her running again. |
7/1 |

Enjoying a fine year and garnered a sixth success in ten-runner handicap over C&D in June; freshened up since and remains handily weighted despite a 5lb rise; big shout. |

Took form to whole new level at Chester (1m2f, soft; also suited by good) a week ago, storming 7l clear, and has now won five times this year; 3lb well in under 5lb penalty; obvious contender. |

11st 4lb |
Snapped a losing sequence when he landed an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good; stays further) in June; shaped as though this longer trip and stiffer track would help at Thirsk last time; should have a say. |

5th 10 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Closely matched with Jesmond Dawn on last month's runs at Ripon and it wasn't going to be easy in a Class 4 at York last time (33-1); this is more his level. |

Arrives on a recent high after a win at Musselburgh and a second at Ripon (both 1m, good); should give his running but he's up in grade here. |

6th 6 (8) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Placed in two novice/maiden events (1m3f/1m2f) when trained by Tom Ward last year but she struggled once switched to handicaps, and failed to beat a rival here on her stable debut 25 days ago; dropped another 5lb. |
