9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Contrasting performances since returned to turf from AW, winning narrowly at Leicester then trailing home last (albeit something was possibly amiss) at Doncaster; a possible player if back on song. |
10/1 |

16th 7 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
5yo who has won two of his last four starts including a last-gasp success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he's still unexposed on turf; shortlisted. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3-29 on the AW compared to 1-23 on turf, the last two successes coming at Southwell in January (6f/7f); went close at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago and will have no issue with the drop back in trip; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner who is only 1-22 on turf but has been placed a few times since returned to this sphere, runner-up at Leicester most recently; fighting chance off current mark in this field. |
11/4 |

2nd 7 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Better on turf than a 1-21 record might suggest; two recent backward steps (never travelling here latest) but recorded a pair of near misses here before those, including over C&D off 2lb higher. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at Yarmouth (5f) in August and didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good third of seven under a 5lb penalty at Brighton (6f) 17 days ago; a player off a 2lb lower mark here. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has often pulled hard and has been suited by the drop to 5f lately, taking advantage of a career-low mark when winning at Yarmouth last weekend; picks up a 5lb penalty for that narrow win and will need to settle better back up to 6f. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Largely consistent for new stable this year and was close second off today's mark at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) on penultimate appearance; unlucky not to finish closer to the target when third of four there last time and has the services of Tom Marquand here; good chance. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Went close at Pontefract in July on her most recent turf run; disappointing on AW last time but should be a force at this modest level. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Placed in sole 1m attempt, raced over shorter otherwise; ran respectably last time in a Leicester classified event he'd landed 12 months earlier; hasn't won a handicap since 2023. |

3rd 6 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been on turf and latest was in this race last year; his form nosedived at Doncaster last month but he has a striking record at this track and is versatile ground-wise; big player if he can bounce back. |
13/2 |
|
11th 12 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won on Polytrack in Ireland; three Wolverhampton AW wins for this yard, seemingly suited by the return to 6f when drawing clear in April; respectable efforts on turf either side of a break since (visor discarded latest, blinkers now refitted) and he's relatively unexposed at this trip on the AW so could have some improvement to come. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Generally in good form since cheekpieces went on but she's been costing herself with slow starts lately; won't mind coming back up from 5f and much will hinge on how she gets on at the stalls. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent mare who belatedly opened her account at Bath (5f, good) in June, her 19th start; also ran well when close third at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) on latest outing; shortlisted. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of near-misses before finally off the mark over 5f at Bath (good) last month; still looks on a workable mark but she's not easy to predict and was disappointing after a slow start at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time; risks attached. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |

Four of his five wins have been on the AW, the latest at Southwell in May (7f; 2lb lower); can be inconsistent and doesn't have the best of draws. |
20/1 |
|
12th 11 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two 7f AW wins at Southwell this year but he's not easy to predict and was only fourth of seventh at Newmarket (7f, good) last time; that took his turf record to 1-19 and he has something to prove back at this trip. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Blew the start at Leicester last month when making it 1-18 on turf; however, he won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and was back on the scoresheet there (7f) last Thursday, and is not ruled out today. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win (23 races) was an AW maiden in November 2024; way down the weights these days and although he was runner-up twice on AW (7f) in March and showed something here (5f) on penultimate start, others have to be higher up the list. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has the same strike-rate (1-22) as Horus and his win was in November 2024; has been up and down this year but he was runner-up twice on AW (7f) in March and he didn't get the best of runs when a respectable sixth at Windsor (5f) last time; has another switch of headgear and he could be dangerous back up in trip. |
5/1 |
|
6th 13 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
AW maiden winner as 2yo but 0-20 otherwise; went handicapping off a high mark and his 3yo season was a write-off; fortunes have turned somewhat off basement marks this term but he's more persuasive on AW. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; returned to form with a clearcut win at Windsor (5f) in May, but she's gone off the boil in her last two runs; has bit to prove again and she needs to get back on track in new headgear. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Windsor (5f) in May and in good form since until only 13th in 5f York handicap 20 days ago; no surprise to see her get back on track here. |
9/1 |
|
13th 14 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
3-11 on turf; steadily progressive but most recent success came off 11lb lower and she'll need another personal best to notch win number four. |
