7f win at Thirsk in May and also went close over 7f here a fortnight later; not so good since, including when dropped to 6f at Ripon last week. |

Winless since his productive 2024 campaign; upped to 7f at Thirsk six weeks ago and put in a good front-running shift, picked off close home by the reopposing Brighton Boy; 3lb better off today but it won't be easy trying to boss this field. |

Better known for his exploits over further but he ran well for second in a C&D handicap last August; several good runs in defeat this year but this looks a competitive race in which to end a two-year drought. |

Without a win since August 2024 but he's been in good form since this visor went on, bumping into an unexposed 3yo when second of four at Catterick (7f, good to firm) and again finishing runner-up at Chester (7.5f, good) last time; in each-way calculations once more. |

Acts on good to soft but unraced on slower; without a win since her debut in June 2024 (Hilary Needler) but she has posted some good efforts, including when a 1l second of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good) in May; however, she hasn't been at her best in her two starts since and was well beaten in this race last year, albeit off an 11lb higher mark. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; back close to that form when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has claims but he's often held up (tends to start slowly) and this isn't the easiest course to make ground up. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; not at the same level when mid-division there (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but can be in the shake-up if swiftly rediscovering his previous form. |

Yet to win for new connections but he has run stormers here (7f/1m, both good ground) on his last two starts, bumping into a handicap blot on the first occasion and going down by just a neck two weeks ago; slow starts are a problem though and he will need things to go his way; cheekpieces now join the tongue tie. |

Made it 2-3 at Musselburgh when winning there over 7f in April off a 1lb lower mark than today's; beaten only 4l when seventh of 19 at York (7f, good) 11 days ago but stamina has to be a concern on just his third try over a 1m. |

Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April, making it 2-3 at the Edinburgh venue, and he's just 2lb higher today; can't be totally dismissed but this 9yo is inconsistent and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (7f, good) last time. |

6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-16 on turf; the handicapper has been in command so far this year but he is edging down the weights and may yet come good on grass; refused to race in last season's Ayr Silver Cup. |

Two wins (1m1f/1m, good) for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year; second start for current yard when runner-up at Chester (7f, good) in May; three poor runs followed but back to form in blinkers (retained here) when second of nine back at Chester (extended 7f, good) six weeks ago; needs to prove his stamina and that he can string good efforts together. |

C&D winner in the past; began this campaign with two solid efforts and he is well treated if bouncing back; more recent efforts not quite so good though and he goes without headgear today; well drawn and handles soft ground so there are positives as well as negatives. |

Two wins from just four attempts; comfortably beat four rivals in Carlisle novice (7f, good to firm) last August and she became upset in the preliminaries before running poorly on handicap debut here next time; retains potential and she's an interesting candidate after a layoff. |
