4th 7 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time AW winner who ran her best race on turf when second of seven, beaten a neck, at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May; failed to back it up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces rather than visor) four weeks ago; this trip should be more suitable. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Her four wins have all been achieved over shorter trips and on AW, but she ran comfortably her best race on turf when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 18 days ago; has to prove her stamina and cheekpieces replace the visor today. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps (7f/8.6f) over the winter; the handicapper may have caught up now and she still has to prove she can be as effective on turf. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Visored for the first time when making a winning stable debut at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) last month and, although a beaten short-price favourite, posted another solid effort under a penalty at Sandown (1m); now 2lb higher but remains fairly treated on older form. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Changed hands for 9,000gns last month and comfortably exploited a reduced mark on last Thursday's stable debut at Nottingham (1m, good to firm), where he was odds-on in a first-time visor (retained); this C&D winner is ahead of the handicapper under a penalty and should be tough to beat. |
8/13 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-time winner whose best effort this year came when a close-up third over C&D in May, taking his form figures at this track to 213; below his best in two starts since and has left the Newland-Insole stable (bought for 9,000gns); visor replaces blinkers for his yard debut and he's interesting. |

Progressive 4yo who won back-to-back handicaps at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month before a near-miss at Galway (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago; has won over this trip in the past and he has leading claims off just 1lb higher than last time. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet a year since he almost defied 8lb higher on quick turf (1m); mixed bag since, and hard to find any benefit from a third wind operation in the winter, but he's too well treated not to bear in mind at least. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Repelled Happy Banner at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); had a wide trip when fourth off this 3lb higher mark at Kempton; hard to rule out; all turf runs on good or faster. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up in two AW novice events in 2024 and 2025, and got off the mark at the seventh attempt when landing a handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June; he's lightly raced and unexposed over this trip, so could have more to offer. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Promise in AW novices and on handicap debut when third at Doncaster (7f, good) last June; has since had wind surgery and should be sharper following his return from ten-month layoff when sixth of seven at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); another to consider. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
The addition of blinkers saw him spring a minor surprise at Bath (1m, firm) in April; not at that level on his last three starts, most recently when ninth behind Marsh Benham at Sandown last month. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won on reappearance at Bath (1m, firm) in April in first-time blinkers (retained); some respectable efforts since but needs something extra if he's to return to winning ways today. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Came good in first-time blinkers at Bath (1m, firm) in April, after a break, but managed only third in a small field there (1m2f) in May and was soundly beaten on his latest outing; needs to kick on again. |
