21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a third C&D win in June and backed it up with a good third of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap 25 days ago; enters calculations once more. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wins have all come on good or softer turf and he confirmed his liking for Hamilton when making it 3-5 there early last month; currently 0-6 on the AW (all Tapeta) and a 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark for a yard that might be in better form. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
She wasn't winning out of turn when successful at Ayr (6f, good) 25 days ago; fully effective at Hamilton and seems to handle soft ground so she's respected, for all she hasn't been missed with a 7lb rise for last time. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All five wins between July and October last year, at 6f and 5f, including this race (good); runner-up four times this year and her latest Hamilton run can be consigned to history as she'd run the day before; respected, although serious rain wouldn't be ideal. |
8/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
One of five wins in the second half of last season was over C&D in August; four seconds (including over 5f/6f here) from the back in her last five starts this term, back to form at Musselburgh last night; each-way claims. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions should be ideal for this course regular and although his 2026 record is unconvincing, he has dropped 14lb as a result; usual cheekpieces back on after one run in a visor; each-way shout. |
10/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins here, two over this trip, the other over 6f; well beaten when returning from a break last time; not out of it in first-time visor, but ideally needs soft/heavy ground. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two 6f handicaps on good ground at Carlisle this summer; also ran a cracker to finish second of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) in July; form dipped at Haydock last month and the suitability of ground softer than good needs to be taken on trust. |
9/1 |
|
9th 9 (9) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two 6f wins at Carlisle this summer (good) and close second of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; this bang-in-form filly could play another leading role. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 16 (17) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Carlisle (6f, good) last month before keeping on for third at Pontefract (6f, good) six days later, and back on the scoresheet at Carlisle (6f, good) three weeks ago; won over 7f last July; could be in the mix. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Sole success came in a 6f handicap here last November and he's now 1lb lower, but there's a suspicion that shorter trips suit him best. |

9th 12 (9) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Broke duck over 6f on Newcastle AW last November but he hasn't run to the same level at that trip or 7f this year; has it to prove at present. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fantastic servant who has added another three C&D wins to her haul this year; unplaced here on her last three starts but drops back into a Class 6 today and a 13th course success isn't out of the question. |
11/2 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
12-time C&D winner including three this summer; no impact in her last three starts, but her last success was off only 1lb lower and she battled well when landing this race last year; not ruled out. |
16/1 |
|
9th 14 (6) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Course specialist having won over this C&D 12 times, most recently last month off a 1lb lower mark than today's; below her best when dropped back to 5f here ten days ago but she's the type to bounce back on her return to this trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Soft-ground winner in Ireland; twice a runner-up on AW in July but her form has dipped on her last two starts; on a fair mark but others look more persuasive for the win. |
7/1 |

3rd 7 (1) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice on Tapeta at Southwell (7f/6f) last month and her defeat there on Thursday is probably best overlooked (fractious in stalls and slowly away) but she returns to turf on a fairly tough mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Hat-trick of wins in 2024 (7f/1m); not scored since, and mainly out of form this year; handles these conditions and really well treated at present, but needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |
|
11th 4 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual C&D winner but his last success was in May 2024 and he's not finished closer than fifth in his seven runs this season; needs to find more back up in trip. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Winless since 7f success here in May 2024 and has yet to find his true form this year (beaten favourite three times; behind Mr Cool here last time) but he ran well on occasions in better 6f races than this in 2025 and won't mind what the weather does; quite well treated now and a revival could be imminent. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Weighted to her best still, despite having run poorly in two starts back; the visor worn for last year's three wins returns today, which is an obvious plus point and could bring about an improved showing. |
16/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
She won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and her current mark isn't necessarily beyond her; a market check is advised but she may need this comeback run. |
16/1 |
