2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark for Michael Dods when finishing off strongly in a 7f AW handicap in March; only 1lb higher today but he will need to step up on last month's return from a three-month break; ground query. |
12/1 |

5th 8 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 7f here in March and not beaten far when fourth of seven at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May when last seen; however, he's returning from a three-month break and 7f is probably his optimum trip. |

Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both AW wins at Newcastle (1m and 7f) but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in March; has had ups and downs since but he came from well back when fourth of ten to Gunfighter over C&D recently; place chance. |
10/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Following a two-month break he returned to form and landed a gamble in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Thursday; he's never finished better than seventh on turf and the surface switch is a concern, but he'll be tough to beat if reproducing anything like his latest form. |
4/6 |

1st 2 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f at Kempton when trained by Heather Main; yet to build on his debut for this yard but is now down to a career-low mark; steps back up in trip and cheekpieces return (worn once previously). |

Hard to win with (3-30) but had a consistent campaign and suffered interference last time at Beverley; 7f specialist. |
7/2 |
|
8th 7 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Versatile tactically and his last win was here in June; 6lb higher now but was runner-up off this mark at Lingfield four days ago (7f AW) when in first-time cheekpieces; each-way claims. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good) in June and he ran another good race when a clear second there last time; this return to Polytrack is no problem and he should give it another good shot with cheekpieces added. |

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. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home over 7f at Southwell in March and appreciated the drop to 6f when winning there 20 days ago following a short break; both wins on turf have been on good to soft, and has claims off this 3lb higher mark. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (6) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Didn't get home over 7f here in March and is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in January; off two months, but has won after much longer absences and high on the list. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and was only beaten a head here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago with a yawning gap back to the rest; 4lb rise not the end of the world and good to soft ground wouldn't be a problem, but another furlong may have been preferable. |
11/8 |

2nd 9 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player. |
9/2 |

4th 18 (11) |

Off the mark in a 6f handicap at Southwell last month; finished behind Dicko The Legend when fifth back at Southwell ten days ago; improvement essential but the booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. |

9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |

11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle in November but has lost her form in recent AW starts; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf and step up in trip sparks a revival. |

Four wins for the Barrons include three at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta); 16lb below last winning mark, but five starts since returning for this yard in February leave him with plenty to prove, despite the drop in grade. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Well short of his best since joining this yard, only beating a handful of runners home in his four runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |

11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |

6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |
