7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual winner at Ayr (7f, good to firm/good) this year but his recent record is very mixed and he was last of five over that C&D 11 days ago; not easy to predict here and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark. |
20/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
3-3 over this C&D, latest success coming three weeks ago (good; Abduction a length back in third but 2lb better off); up 2lb; chance. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field over 6f and then in a higher grade than this on last two starts but he has more going for him back over C&D, having won his first attempt last August (good) and then quite readily in May (good to firm); solid claims for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Hard to win with (3-30) but had a consistent campaign and suffered interference last time at Beverley; 7f specialist. |
7/2 |
|
8th 7 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Versatile tactically and his last win was here in June; 6lb higher now but was runner-up off this mark at Lingfield four days ago (7f AW) when in first-time cheekpieces; each-way claims. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good) in June and he ran another good race when a clear second there last time; this return to Polytrack is no problem and he should give it another good shot with cheekpieces added. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran (5-81) stablemate of Zebra Star; respectable third over 1m here (good to firm) in July, but could make only minimal inroads over C&D (fifth; 22-1) latest; this is a slightly easier task. |
18/1 |
|
5th 12 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Musselburgh win (1m, good) last September but he hasn't posed a serious threat this season and was well held over C&D last Monday; needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran with plenty of course form to his name; third of nine over 1m here last week (winner Runninsonofagun runs in the 4.00); one of three runners for the stable. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had wind surgery prior to Ayr reappearance effort that seemed to be needed; gained most recent success off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) just over a year ago and looks interesting back here. |
4/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but not really firing on all cylinders since (six more runs) and has stamina to prove on first venture beyond 1m. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins on fast ground this summer (5f-6f; handles heavy); disappointed as favourite at Carlisle 19 days ago; drawn wide and others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Got up late for a C&D win last month and added to his tally at Pontefract (5f, also good to firm) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty demands a bit more from him but he's evidently in good nick. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month; denied clear run when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) next time and kept on for third at Thirsk (6f, good) last Saturday; it's possible he'll get going too late back down to 5f but the stiff track and strong pace will help; chance. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Off a much reduced mark and with a new visor fitted he ran his best race for a while to be second of 13 at Ayr (6f, good to soft) recently; clear claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (14) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives out of sorts, tried in cheekpieces when last of nine in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 27 days ago; visor is tried here. |

9th 1 (10) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f Polytrack winner; on the slide in the handicap for some time; drops again in grade for this first start at the track; has shown he acts on Tapeta at Newcastle and is on a very handy mark in relation to the form he showed there last October; blinkers go on; remains unproven over this trip. |
