7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Won four for Richard Hughes (three on turf) at 5.5f-7f; promising start for this yard at Navan in June but never figured when failing to beat a rival back at Navan on latest; needs to bounce back. |

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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Front-runner; knocking at the door on turf this summer but he's 0-14 on the grass and he's unlikely to get his own way up front in this field. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Three-time AW who ran well from the front when second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago; 0-13 on turf but remains 6lb lower than when second over C&D (firm) in May; could be hard to catch. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 12 (9) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still 6lb lower than when gaining his sixth course success in this race last year; 0-19 since, but placed nine times and has winning form on soft ground; may be worth chancing. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner who's been on the downgrade for some time and is on a losing run of 18; remains consistent enough but, like stablemate Marisitta, has a job on with Arnaz on the same terms as last Sunday. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Be An Angel didn't get the best of runs when this gelding was hot on her heels here last month; found wanting in a classified race since then; looks vulnerable. |

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 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seeking her first win for Grace Harris but there have been some good runs along the way and this drop into a 0-55 will be in her favour; good chance for last year's winning yard. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner for George Scott; signs of getting back on track off her reduced mark last month only to then run poorly last week at Ffos Las. |
33/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins came when trained by George Scott; has tumbled down the weights since but has found her level seemingly when placed at Newbury (6f, good to firm) and Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month; could be dangerous off her low weight. |
4/1 |
