3rd 1 (7) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in four of his last six starts, including a comfortable success from a wide draw three weeks ago; up another 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and this return to Polytrack should be fine; big player in hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (13) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 over C&D when winning off a 3lb lower mark five weeks ago (ridden from off the pace by Jack Callan that night and may be again from stall 13); stable flying this month, with seven winners from its last 15 runners at the start of the day, and he holds good claims. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ultra-consistent in handicaps, aside from her turf efforts, and showed the right attitude back in cheekpieces when narrowly beating Study Up over C&D two weeks ago; both will find this a bit tougher but she has claims upped 3lb. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor effort at Windsor last time perhaps not hard to forgive in view of her turf record and she proved most consistent on the AW before that, including when beaten less than a length over C&D in April; respected back in this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made winning stable debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in January and she's held her form with three solid placed efforts since; 2lb higher than when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time but that was a bold bid and she's still unexposed on turf; respected back in this sphere. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

19-race maiden who is usually seen over further; struggled on turf last time but he'll be happier back on AW; tongue tied for the first time but not a solid option. |
12/1 |
|
10th 9 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden who's often been turned over at short prices and generally been kept to the AW (achieved little in three runs on turf); others make more appeal. |
10/1 |
|
9th 11 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

No wins in 17 but after racing over further he hit the frame over C&D 11 days ago; could nick a race sooner or later off this low a mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing run but he signalled he is ready to strike again when an unlucky-in-running third of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap a week ago, twice hampered in the straight; big shout off an unchanged mark. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 2-43 with his sole success in Britain coming over 9.4f here; has finished runner-up in five of his seven starts over C&D and is lower in the weights than for all of them; capable of making some sort of impact. |
6/1 |

7th 1 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Doesn't always appear the most resolute in a finish but he is regularly placed and conditions hold no terrors; each-way claims once more. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win at Chelmsford under Freddie Robson; has lost his way since (cheekpieces off here) but is back on the mark he defied at Chelmsford so a revival wouldn't surprise in this uncompetitive race. |
9/2 |
|
8th 5 (12) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win on Chelmsford Polytrack, but he was soundly beaten in them on penultimate start and below form when hooded on latest; now he has cheekpieces plus a first-time tongue-tie; lightly raced but none too solid. |
11/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive effect early in the year and he switches to a first-time hood tonight off the back of a below-par effort at Leicester; should be happier back on the AW under Freddie Robson, who's currently a combined 2-7 under both codes. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-18; beaten favourite her last four starts, but is holding form (3523), going under by less than a length to Virtual Hug over 1m4f here (same mark) five weeks ago; fine over this shorter trip, and has a capable claimer back aboard. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Opened account with clearcut success at Lingfield (1m2f) in December and has remained in good form since; may not have had enough use made of her when dropped back to 8.6f here a fortnight ago but still ran well; also suited by 1m4f; leading contender. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Only 1-16 but she's a versatile and consistent filly who is effective at 1m-1m4f; drops back in trip, having taken a good hold the last twice; possibilities with Harry Vigors taking off a useful 7lb. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Placed on three of her five starts since returning from long layoff this year, including C&D (good) handicap third two starts ago; likely to pose a potent threat in this basement grade. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has done all her winning in the summer months and is currently 3-4 over this in-between trip; not as good since returning from a long absence but is still competitive at this level and holds claims on her latest Ffos Las third off the same mark. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

On a good mark and beaten a neck at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) two runs back, form that has worked out well; poor last time over an extended 1m3f but that trip seems too far. |

11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Came from well off the pace to win a handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in May, but he hasn't matched that level in three starts since and this track isn't sure to suit his hold-up style; others preferred. |

8th 2 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

7-47 on AW but has struggled for form since finishing third at Newcastle (1m, Class 5; from 12lb higher) last November; failed to beat a rival in each of his last two starts (9.4f/1m4f) so it's difficult to have confidence. |
