11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark. |

Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; going was fast for last month's 5f Bath win on his final start for Richard Hughes; any ease might harm his chance on Irish debut. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All three wins have been at this track, one over C&D; hasn't been firing on all cylinders this year though and needs the return to this track to bring about a revival. |

4th 6 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground. |
10/1 |

7th 1 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; 0-11 on turf but he's been placed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and Bath (5.7f, firm) this spring and ran another good race when a close fourth at Bath 11 days ago; should give it another good shot and he's in the mix back up in trip. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

In good form this year without managing to put his head in front; eligible for weaker races than this though and could prove vulnerable. |

Six of his eight wins have been at this track, the last three over today's distance; must come into calculations. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers. |
8/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice last summer (including over C&D) and comes here on the back of a solid fifth in 5.5f Bath handicap 25 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Twice a winner in 2025, once here; reappeared with a close sixth at this track last month and it was his first visit to Pontefract when below par three weeks ago; can go well. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Veteran who is on a lengthy losing run; can lead but didn't at Windsor last time and was never involved; if on his game he wouldn't be without hope. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run of 22; knocking on the door on AW when last seen and he won't mind getting back on the grass; has made the running but it is not a prerequisite; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
4th 10 (3) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with nine wins on his record, all over sprint trips; stays this far though and he holds each-way claims once more. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't run badly when 4l seventh of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago and she has another career-low mark this evening; however, she hasn't been threatening of late and others are preferred. |
25/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins off higher marks last season, including C&D, and promising third at Bath this April on her stable/seasonal debut; however, her form has gone the wrong since and she needs to raise her game substantially. |
