17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

All four AW wins have been at this track; steps up in distance and holds claims if he gets the trip. |

5th 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Has four wins at this track, mostly over today's distance; 3lb higher than his last success in March but cannot be dismissed here. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here off 2lb lower last October, his third over C&D; last month's Chester comeback from a short break should have brought him on and he holds each-way claims under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a good record for the yard. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |
16/1 |

9st 9lb |
One win (C&D) and three second-place finishes in six AW starts since October; front-running second, beaten a nose, over 8.6f here four weeks ago; in the mix again. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent gelding who has his moods and always been capable of fluffing the start; one of his better efforts a month ago, switched from cheekpieces to second-time blinkers, but is not guaranteed to repeat the dose. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Twice well beaten off this mark since winning narrowly at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; can blow the start; blinkers return, but risky. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June but scuppered his chance (not for first time) with a very slow start when beating one at Wolverhampton (8.5f) since. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |
4/1 |

6th 8 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in June but he has failed to reproduce it in three turf outings since and came in last of 11 at Haydock (7f) eight days ago; others are much preferred. |
25/1 |
|
11th 4 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won on turf last April and snapped long losing run at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; however, well beaten back on turf on his last two starts and he needs to turn things around. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip. |
16/1 |

3rd 7 (2) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Sits third, one place behind Aisling Oscar, in the All Weather Horse of the Year standings after his fine winter; yet to win at Wolverhampton but he has run well here; Billy Loughnane takes over tonight; each-way shout. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up three times in a row on AW this April-June, but below-par sixth at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago and he failed to shine when tackling turf last year; has his first outing on grass of 2026. |
10/1 |

6th 10 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Eight-time AW winner who has finished runner-up over C&D in his last three starts including a close call on his penultimate run; should give it another good shot and he's respected. |
5/1 |

2nd 10 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Prolific winner who arrives on the back of three placed efforts over C&D; now 2lb higher but likely to give his running once again. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win in his first 18 starts but he doubled his tally when coming from off the pace to score at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 3lb but that was a brave win and he shaped as though this trip should be within range; respected. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Winless since his debut in 2024 and he arrives below par, only sixth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last time; also has his stamina to prove. |
4/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Second in a Group 2 for Hugo Palmer as a 2yo before proving hard to place last year; found his level again but twice turned over at short prices recently (latest third has been boosted since) and has stamina to prove upped from 1m back on the AW. |

Half-brother to six winners including Sakhee's Return (5.8f-7f including 2yo; RPR 93), Jackpot Royale (7f-1m; 91), Be Royale (6f-8.6f including AW; 79), Queens Royale (7f AW; 75) and Must Be Royale (7f AW; 70); once-raced dam (56) out of 1m Group 3 winner; family has won plenty of races for the yard, but stable only has the occasional winning newcomer; watch market. |
