15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Has added to his impressive tally with two further 5f wins this season but recent defeats suggest he's gone off the boil somewhat; dropped 2lb since last run but may need some more assistance from the handicapper. |

The winner of 14 of his 48 starts, including two 5f handicaps this season; dropped away when seventh to King Of Light over 6f at Windsor 12 days ago; others look better handicapped. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last autumn (5f, AW/good to soft) and has run some solid races in defeat this year, including at Goodwood (soft) latest 75 days ago; a positive jockey booking and the recent rain was welcomed. |

9st 6lb |
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he has run some solid races in defeat in 2026; this will be just his third run at 6f and others bring more pressing claims. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Often leads and her last three wins have been over C&D, including in this race last year; finished down the field in last four runs but this is a drop back in grade and she's now 7lb lower than for her last success; one to keep an eye on. |
8/1 |
|
9th 11 (14) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Often leads; ran in a Listed race in May but underwhelming handicap efforts since on Newmarket's July course and she usually runs that track well; needs a revival and she's unraced here. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Did well as a 3yo, including over C&D, but she hasn't added to her tally in six runs this year; recent third at Epsom (6f, good to firm) on her stable debut was a good run and she's a key player back down in trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Developed into useful 5f performer for Newland-Insole stable last year but is yet to hit top gear after five runs this season; makes stable debut debut from a tempting mark and should be okay back at 6f but needs to have been reinvigorated by her new regime; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
7/1 |
|
8th 3 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C&D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six of his wins have been on the AW for Robert Cowell, but he was narrowly defeated in a bunched finish on his stable at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; on the same mark today and drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6-18 on AW but 0-10 on turf when trained by Robert Cowell; sold for 27,000gns after disappointing AW run in June; makes stable debut from a workable mark but others in this field have more pressing claims. |
10/1 |
|
13th 11 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Six wins and five seconds from 17 AW runs; unplaced on turf on his last two starts and although this scenario will suit better, a few others look better handicapped. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Right behind Accrual here before justifying favouritism at Nottingham (5f) three days ago despite an awkward start; the penalty might just find him out. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ultra-consistent and arrives following a solid effort at Thirsk (same mark as tonight; his last winning rating); boasts a good record at this time of year and this is less competitive, so his claims are obvious. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Successful off this mark at Wolverhampton in March; solid efforts on his last three starts and he should make a bold bid to win this race for the second season in succession. |
13/2 |
