29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner last spring who has largely been in good nick since cheekpieces went on in May, winning at Haydock (his fourth win there) and also at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; has never won off a mark this high but he ran well from it at Hamilton last time and soft ground would hold no fears; should be on the premises. |

4th 2 (12) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has won twice this year (both when ridden by P J McDonald), at Haydock (5f, soft) in May and Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) last time, but that was a 0-105 and he wasn't best drawn; drops back down in grade and should have this run to suit. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran; goes well on soft ground and ran a fine race when second to Trilby (2lb worse off for 0.5l) at Haydock last time (5f, soft; tongue-tie tried); tongue-tie retained and sound each-way chance. |
6/1 |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His career win number six when making all and repelling Moulin Booj on recent stable debut over C&D; likely to win more races; up 4lb. |

1st 7 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on this winter's AW form but he has gone off the boil more recently; given a chance by the handicapper as a consequence and he needs a market check starting out for Ruth Carr (sold out of David Loughnane's stable for 22,000gns last month). |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Both 2026 wins were 5f and he was decisively on top at Sandown (good ground) 17 days ago; that was a personal best and he's in the mix, although significantly worse off at the weights with Sandown runner-up Hypnotised. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Showed career-best form when winning readily at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and is also effective on fast ground but his subsequent efforts this spring were underwhelming; non-runner at Goodwood yesterday. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a two-year losing run with a hard-fought success at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June; 3lb higher on a first AW outing since April 2024; others appeal more. |

Broke slowly but finished well when 4l behind on good to soft at Catterick recently; that was his second run after a lengthy break; has won on soft. |

C&D winner in May 2021 (heavy); wasn't in top form last season so has dropped to a good mark but he was well beaten on soft at Haydock on reappearance. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times over 5f in 2025; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces with fourth of ten in 6f Chester handicap in June; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark here with headgear retained. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however. |
