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. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

18th 1 (22) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still on a realistic mark and several good AW runs to his name already this year; 0-13 on turf and 0-31 at 1m+ so he will need to break new ground to come out on top today; Simon Walker booked but others might be seeing it out more strongly. |
10/1 |

5th 11 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (1m/7f) this year, following a layoff; managed only sixth when favourite here (1m) 11 days ago but has a big role to play from the inside stall if quickly back in the groove. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five wins this year, with first four on AW and latest on turf at Redcar (7f, good) in May; placed twice since that last success but he didn't shine at Doncaster last time and he looks weighted near best off this mark. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Had a good season already and Toby Moore's claim is welcomed when he might be a shade high in the weights now; beaten 2l at Chester last time, just behind King's School whom he beat the time before. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Is enjoying a fine season and he racked up a fifth victory at Redcar (7f) in May; posted another very good effort with second of ten in 7f Newcastle handicap 24 days ago so he's a likely player once more. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |

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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
The visor has had a positive effect and he may have bumped into one when a clear second off this mark 11 days ago (Polytrack); goes well here and is one of the likelier winners. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointed on his reappearance in June but he's been running well in three starts since the visor was applied, most recently finishing third of 11 in a 0-75 at Haydock (7f, good) 13 days ago; drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
He's run pretty well in this visor on his last two starts, last time 3l second of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); however, he's back up into a 0-75 here and has won just one of his last 29 races; may again be vulnerable. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who proved he still had what it takes when making virtually all at Southwell in April and is back off the same mark; has won three times over this C&D and no surprise were he to run well. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11yo who made virtually all to win at Southwell (7f, AW) in April; unplaced on both starts since but he failed to settle and was denied a clear run here on the first occasion; has won here three times; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who gamely made all at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, his 12th win; only 1lb higher here and did pretty well to finish fifth at Catterick (7f, good) last month, given he pulled hard in the early stages (not a regular trait) and was denied a clear run; considered. |
