4th 4 (11) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who was sixth of 18 to Naana's Shadow at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) and has been placed at Pontefract either side of that (5f, good to firm; most recently on Sunday); back into a more competitive race today but this track should suit his style and he has an each-way chance. |

3rd 3 (6) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who was overhauled by Badri when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month and he again ran well when sixth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm); this is less competitive; he can make a bold bid. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (13) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Front-running winner of two AW races for this yard, at 6f and 5f; 0-9 on turf but he had big tasks either side of a break and he's likely to find this sharp test more to his liking than the one at Pontefract 13 days ago, when he was headed only near the line; likely to give a punchy show. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Big chance on this year's best efforts but his form dipped at York in June and last week's Great St Wilfrid seventh wasn't great either; unraced on slower than good; not sure what to expect. |
9/1 |
|
7th 12 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise on his stable debut at York (5f, good) in May and he showed better form in defeat on his next two starts (both at York; 5f and 6f on good ground); messed about at the start when disappointing at York seven weeks ago; still of major interest from a handicapping perspective judged on his run on June 13 and he's unexposed at 6f; contender. |
7/1 |

13th 5 (11) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has maintained his consistency by posting form figures of 143, all in sprints at York, since joining current stable; beat Stargazed by half a length on the first occasion and ran well, despite a tricky draw the way things panned out, in notable handicap most recently; very solid claims. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his time with Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole with 6f Haydock success in April; beat only two home for his new yard in 5.5f Doncaster handicap 12 days ago so plenty more is needed. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Signed off for Richard Newland and Jamie Insole with victory in 6f handicap at Haydock in April; up 6lb and needs to hit the ground running for his new handler after an absence. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
6f AW winner in November (form solid) and several good placed runs followed; he has more to prove on turf but he won't be far away if able to transfer his form back to the grass. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour. |
12/1 |

8th 10 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (turf) a fortnight ago; that came in a far less-competitive handicap off 2lb lower against her own sex, and she'll find this rather tougher. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in five handicaps for new yard this season; mark continues to fall but she struggled at Nottingham last time and others are preferred. |

Has not been in the best of form and can't afford to be 5lb out of the weights. |

9th 10 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Newcastle (5f) in January but he has failed to build on it and came in last in 5f handicaps at Haydock and Hamilton (hooded) on his last two runs; others are much preferred. |
33/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who won at Newcastle (5f, AW) in January on his second stable start but slim pickings across his three runs since; upset in stalls and withdrawn at Musselburgh in June (33-1 at the time); wears a first-time hood. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Experienced 3yo who was winning for third time this year when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May; short-headed at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago by one who was completing a hat-trick; major contender. |
4/1 |

2nd 6 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran well again at Windsor (6f, good to soft) next time, but failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las ten days ago and needs to bounce back. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip. |
