11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won this race in 2022 as a 5yo; no sign of his enthusiasm waning this year, winning three 6f handicaps, and stepping back up in trip will suit after two good 5f efforts last month; chance. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ideally suited by an easy 6f or stiff 5f and knows how to win; turned in a solid effort at his beloved Sandown last weekend and remains reliable despite his age, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

Multiple winner but went up 6lb for his 2l win at Haydock and that counted when fifth at Catterick; however, he does have a very solid record here. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Forced to challenge widest of all last time at Windsor so forget that; she's a consistent maiden but whether she wants slowish ground is questionable (withdrawn the once on account of such conditions). |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent maiden who's had plenty of chances in handicaps and often been turned over at short prices; won't mind being back on turf and tonight's big field should suit her come-from-behind style, though, and she looks set to go well again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Still a maiden after 12 starts but she has finished second on her last four outings, including over C&D; no obvious reason why she wouldn't give her running once again. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins this season (6f/5f, good/good to soft), including here, and when fourth of five here (6f, good) recently he wasn't beaten far following an awkward start; major player if the stalls break isn't an issue this time. |
5/2 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good) in April and he got back on the scoresheet when rallying well for a clearcut success at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last week; 5lb higher here but this return to fast ground is no problem and he's respected back up in trip. |
5/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Effective at 5f/6f on turf and AW; easy winner at Nottingham in April (6f, good) for which he went back up 8lb; not so good on AW next time but has a chance back on turf. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |
9/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in April off 2lb lower; well held at Yarmouth on his last two starts but has an excuse three weeks ago (reared leaving the stalls); returning to the AW could suit. |
11/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come over 6f on the AW including two in April; handles turf, but he has a fair bit to find with Neyva's Angel on their meeting here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; he too may be better over further. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but has suffered heavy defeats back on turf the last twice; first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

16/1 |

15th 8 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Newcastle (7f) in September and bettered that form when third over 6f at Southwell (also AW) in November; had wind surgery before respectable comeback over latter C&D one month ago; unexposed on turf and worth a second look. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |

Has won on turf but better on the AW and may have needed it at Wetherby last time after a break (and wind surgery); perhaps more effective at 6f, though. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

0-12 but he has been threatening for Tony Carroll this year, most recently finishing second in a C&D handicap 19 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and unlikely to be far away again. |

2nd 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Still a maiden after ten runs but has been placed twice on good to firm ground this spring (6f/5f) and may not have been suited by good to soft when slightly disappointing last time; this trip could be ideal; no surprise if he features. |

9st 6lb |
6yo who has enjoyed a renaissance in 2026, winning twice (5f, AW/good) and posting a close second at Ripon (5f, good) latest; there remains mileage in his mark judged on old form and this course winner is respected. |
3/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Has a record of 2-4 this term and scored over C&D (good) most recently; creeping back up the weights but remains well handicapped on historical data (peak mark was 15lb higher); major contender. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways on AW at Newcastle (5f; beating stablemate Herakles) in April; ran well from this revised mark at Pontefract (5f; third, reportedly bled from the nose) subsequently; trainer won this in 2021, 2022, and 2024, so he's one to have on the shortlist. |

9st 8lb |
Tumbled down the weights for three yards on the AW and took advantage of a lenient turf mark for his new trainer, without the usual headgear, under Myla Coppins at Windsor last Monday; had a good bit in hand there and has no penalty for it; obvious chance. |
4/5 |

1st 7 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins at 6f and 7f on artificial surfaces; on a losing run of over two years but he acts on turf and is on a useful mark for his latest new yard on the pick of his 2025 form; usually wears aids but none today. |
14/1 |
|
10th 6 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from 32 starts; unlucky not to go closer when fourth of 11 here over 6f last month but he failed to build on that when seventh here ten days ago; steps back up to 7f. |
