18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual Southwell winner off lower marks early in the year who ran poorly there when last seen and has been off for almost four months since; would need a career-best in order to take this. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |

12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

All four wins have been on AW, including one over C&D; no obvious excuses for latest 8l defeat at Southwell (1m, AW) though. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All four wins have been on AW and last two were over C&D in the spring; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for her last success and she's run well on turf in last two starts including a near-miss at Wetherby (7f, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and she's strongly respected back up in trip. |

9st 12lb |
7f winner on Newcastle AW in March; back on turf for the first time since last October but he's 8lb lower today and he does act on grass; however, jockey bookings suggest Highfield Viking is the stable preferred. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins (6f-8.5f) but yet to register (0-16) on turf; placed at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) in mid July but less competitive at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Beverley (1m2f) since; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins on the AW and 0-15 on turf, though has been running well at 1m-1m2f on grass this year without getting the job done; does have to bounce back from a poor one, however. |
6/1 |
|
10th 4 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Held off his revised mark on turf since two AW wins, including here, in April; wins have all come over shorter but he stays this far and is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Southwell on his second run back with Dean Ivory; unable to back it up in a Class 5 a fortnight later; fully effective over C&D but others appear to hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only one rival home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his first start since returning to this yard following a 161-day break, but he stepped forward from that when winning over this C&D 15 days ago; up in grade following a 3lb rise. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Back with former yard after five months off but beat just one in 1m Chelmsford handicap three weeks ago; a fair 7f winner at his best, so he can't be totally dismissed with that run under his belt. |

Course scorer but she came in a never-dangerous seventh of 12 on her yard debut in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; more is required with cheekpieces removed today. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |
18/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he got off the mark at the 17th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) this month and has since been runner-up there (9.4f); also effective here and he's an each-way player. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
String of defeats at short prices before finally off the mark over 8.6f here a fortnight ago off a 2lb lower mark in 0-60 company; has not always looked the easiest and has to prove his stamina going into a deeper race. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand. |

9st 6lb |
Runner-up off today's mark on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but subsequent 6f/7f form has been underwhelming, albeit he was denied a clear run last time; wore cheekpieces for last two races; visor given a whirl today. |
5/1 |

9th 7 (9) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been here but over 7f and for different yards; however, close up on stable debut over 6f at Ripon and last run wasn't too bad as he was never in the right place at Lingfield; don't put a line through him. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Second of seven on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but failed to back it up at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm); returning to 6f may help but all three AW wins have come at Southwell. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Course regular who won over 7f in March; only 2lb higher and mainly running well in the meantime but, although she has run with credit over this far, there's a suspicion that a shorter trip suits her better. |

4th 4 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Third at Newbury (1m, good) on latest turf start in May and also ran well when filling same position at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 12 days ago but wide draw makes things awkward here. |

3rd 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

C&D win in March off 3lb lower and she ran a better race when third of 12 in a Class 5 over C&D 18 days later; up and down since but she can't be discounted. |

Has run well in two of her last three races, last time dictating a modest pace at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); came up short there but has to be feared here. |

3rd 6 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Doubled her tally over C&D in June and was right back on song when close second at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but has a point to prove after weakening quickly on AW a fortnight ago. |

8th 6 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Likes it here; came back to form last Wednesday at Lingfield (turf) but has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, albeit she'll be 1lb higher from the weekend; vulnerable to improvers. |

Didn't find much after travelling strongly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month but that was his first run since February and he's on a good mark if the outing brought him on. |

7th 4 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last December and was third there (7f) next time; absent since heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) in February but he ran well last May following a break and should be fine back on turf and back down to 6f; not ruled out. |
10/1 |

12th 6 (12) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Notched his first win for this trainer at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in December and again ran well there when third having been drawn wide 39 days ago; another wide draw to contend with here but he holds solid claims. |
