1st 4 (15) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent dual winner who coped well with the rise in class when pushing a well-handicapped winner all the way at Ayr six days ago (1m, good; goes on all surfaces); not ideally drawn out in 15 but plenty to like otherwise. |
3/1 |

2nd 10 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Likeably consistent dual winner who won't mind what the weather does, with recent seconds at about 1m coming on soft and good to firm; pretty solid, other than this is a step up in class. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark when winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in May and followed up over this C&D next time (good); has posted two good placed efforts since, the most recent at Chester (7.5f, soft) last month off a 2lb lower mark than today's, and makes the shortlist. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |
11/1 |

Five wins this year (7f-1m) have come at a cost mark-wise and has to bounce back from below-par run at York three weeks ago (jockey said he ran flat). |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in the spring; had a couple of wide draws to deal with since but has landed another here, which could leave him vulnerable late. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; made all at Southwell (1m) in April; some fair runs in defeat since but he could face competition for the lead and others are more appealing for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (12) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 7f form in Ireland but that was two years ago and his course win came over 1m in April (made all) on second start for this yard; no advance on that form in two runs since but perhaps the return to this trip will improve his options. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
0-9 and starting to look exposed, but she represents a powerful yard and the drop in trip may be no bad thing; hood returns. |
3/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Doubled his tally with 1m1f victory at Carlisle in July; failed to beat a rival in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap since though so needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
13th 11 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual Carlisle winner who's recorded his best efforts on turf; showed the right attitude off 2lb lower last time but will need to at least match that form in this competitive handicap. |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three runs in course handicaps feature a win (soft) last June and two seconds (1m1f/1m), latterly when claimed late by Hostility on good ground 19 days ago; solid. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Not disgraced when third of four in a steadily-run 1m6f handicap at Doncaster last month; blinkers go on now and this low-mileage 4yo needs considering in his bid for a maiden success. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seven defeats include four handicaps, the best of which was a close third on good to soft at Yarmouth last September (1m); didn't convince stamina-wise over 1m2f last time and now has a good deal further to travel. |
9/2 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Low-mileage 4yo has been kept to 1m since handicapping, running well on first occasion but disappointing in two starts this term; chance of a resurgence largely depends on the effects of new trip. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

0-11; has shown some ability and drops to this level for the first time, but he was beaten a very long way at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in his latest outing; blinkers removed; best watched. |
12/1 |
|
10th 7 (10) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden; creditable fifth of seven in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth last time (1m, good to firm); headgear retained; each-way chance. |

5th 1 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; placed in a maiden at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last June but he's been well held in seven starts since; failed to beat a rival over 1m2f last time and blinkers are now tried. |

Sole win in 21 starts came narrowly over 1m here in March; held since, but is now 1lb lower so a case can be made. |
100/30 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just did enough to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March, his 17th start, and also ran well when third behind The Gay Blade over C&D (good) last month, having made a big forward move in the early stages; his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he can make his presence felt. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-19 and his best form has come on the AW, albeit he didn't run very well at Southwell last time and his previous fourth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) was better; frame material again based on that effort. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Four-time course winner who'll be happier back on Tapeta; now 6lb lower than when going in over C&D early in the year but needs a revival. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has had more AW than turf success; has gained both wins in this sphere at Nottingham (8.5f on good/good to soft); only midfield when returned to grass last time; others have stronger claims. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |

4th 7 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Struggled over 1m at Southwell last month but relished the step back up in trip when winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still fairly treated on his old form off this 3lb higher mark and has claims. |
100/30 |
|
1st 7 (8) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |
