31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems happier on the AW than turf and is back down to his last winning mark; the eyeshield worn for his consistent string of efforts in the spring is also back, so there are reasons for optimism. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over C&D in April off 5lb lower and subsequently followed up at Lingfield; not in the same form since and needs to bounce back to his best. |
5/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
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. |

1st 6 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when scoring at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and he has run two solid races in defeat since; well drawn to attack but there are other pace influences on show and his 5f efforts need bettering. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered his second win when scoring over C&D last month off 5lb lower; went close to following up when going down by half a length at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago and may be worth persevering with at present. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in September and doubled his tally when making all at Wolverhampton a month ago (second run in cheekpieces); drawn wide but off only 3lb higher he's considered. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last of his two wins in 2025 came over C&D; signs he was on the way back when fifth of 12 here (7f) last month; holds claims in his first classified. |
5/1 |
|
5th 10 (11) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two solid efforts in April over 6f when the hood was applied, but he's failed to beat a rival over this trip on his last two starts and is still unproven on this far; has been absent for 70 days and others are preferred. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In good form over 7f, winning at Wolverhampton in June and placed at Carlisle and Catterick since; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb; drop in trip not ideal but this looks likely to be run at a strong pace. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Two good runs in June, winning at Wolverhampton (7f) and finishing a close second at Carlisle (7f, good) to a subsequent winner; a possible. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Consistent on AW this year and was nudged up only 2lb for his win in refitted cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f) a fortnight ago; also suited by turf; respected. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four AW wins (all at Wolverhampton) to her name; arrives on the back of a good win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and should be fine at this track; one to consider under her penalty. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW winner in 2025; only eighth of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago, and she's not proving easy to catch right this season. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Pontefract in April and runner-up twice in a row in May; not written off but subsequent form has been mixed so he's not a solid option. |
6/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Pontefract winner in April (5f, good to soft); two good runs in May, the first when second over this C&D; hasn't been in such good form on last two runs. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven wins on the AW elsewhere; surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten half a length into second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and a 1lb rise still leaves him 6lb below his last winning mark; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
2 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in 2025 include one over C&D; has shaped as if back in form on his last two starts, including when a front-running second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; should go well. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in 2025, including C&D, but rather going through the motions this time around; showed a bit more spark with his front-running sixth at Kempton in May; on a manageable mark and the type to come good again soon. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Ten-time winner who is effective here but last three runs have been very underwhelming. |
33/1 |
|
12th 7 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Scored over C&D in December off 2lb lower and landed his tenth career win at Bath (5f, good) in April; last of eight though over C&D when last seen and vulnerable to younger rivals. |
