30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained back-to-back wins at Carlisle (7.7f, good to firm) in May/June, but a rise in grade has caught him out in his last two starts; back in quieter waters, but the likely ground conditions may not play to his strengths. |
20/1 |

11th 11 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Front-running tactics backfired at the Newmarket July festival last time when bidding for a 1m hat-trick after Class 4 wins at Carlisle; remains on career-high mark and is upped further in grade, so needs to resume his improvement. |
14/1 |

12th 9 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May and followed up in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) in the Carlisle Bell (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago to make it four wins from his last seven starts; climbing the weights but this thriving 4yo could give another good account. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been on AW but he's run well on turf this season including when runner-up at Carlisle (1m) in May and when third over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained both wins on AW but that was the case with stablemate Cristo (declared 7:50) until he recently prevailed on turf; has posted inconsistent results since returned to this sphere, however, and isn't a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three fair efforts since returned to turf; two Wolverhampton wins early in the year came off lower marks in blinkers and he'll need a career-best to take this stepping back up from 1m. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Versatile ground-wise and comes into this off the back of a narrow success at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago; only 3lb higher but he may be better over a furlong shorter. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Versatile ground-wise and all four wins have been at 7f on turf; his mixed record this season but he wasn't beaten far at Ayr (1m) last time and is now only 1lb higher than for his last success; not ruled out back in trip. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins have been at 7f but he hasn't had many chances at this trip, over which he ran third on his penultimate start at Carlisle; had a break since a bad run in June and has possibilities. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (2) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |

Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 since his winning debut here last September (7f); last two runs have also been here at about 7f and neither was wildly encouraging (in cheekpieces then an eyeshield); bit to prove, including stamina for this far. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a C&D novice on debut last September but he's 0-7 since; has run respectably at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) and Chester (7f, good to soft) in his last two runs but he needs to find more with eyeshields now tried. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Third run for this yard when a head winner at Thirsk (7f, good) and was bang there in a big field at York (good to firm) despite a troubled passage; stays 1m and plenty to like. |
11/2 |
|
8th 5 (16) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to form to exploit a reduced mark at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on his third start for this yard; a modest 3lb rise has followed and he's a contender if backing up that latest performance. |
10/1 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winless for Iain Jardine (also refused to race once); failed to build on Redcar sixth for his new yard when seventh of ten in 1m Carlisle handicap 17 days ago; not one to rely on. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole turf success came at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August; he is now 16lb higher after a productive spell on AW and finished 12l adrift when returned to turf over C&D last month; down the list despite his yard being in fine form. |
33/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who's gone sharply the wrong way for this yard, running poorly in three starts this season; didn't look to see out 1m2f (soft) two months ago and this is easier again but she's hard to recommend. |
33/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden who ended last season on a low note and was also well beaten on first two outings this year (7f/1m); moves up in trip with a lot to prove. |
33/1 |
|
10th 11 (9) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Finished close up in 7f events on the AW for previous trainer but two handicap runs either side of a break were disappointing and her stamina will be under pressure back on this track. |
25/1 |
