2nd 9 (14) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In-form mare who is bidding for her fourth win this season, the third coming at Ripon last time when beating Spioradalta (now 4lb better off) by 1.5l; stays this trip well; on a career-high mark but the race should be run to suit her and she has a good chance. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
5yo mare whose form has gone to a new level this season, with wins at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) and Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) sandwiching a runner-up finish at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm); she may be the type who only just does enough and therefore she could have more still left in the tank. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All three wins have been at 1m2f and, although she has run well at 1m3f, this far might be a stretch; if she did last out then would have a chance in current form on ground she handles; Arron D'Arcy's claim eases her career-high mark. |

Not at his best last time but on the up previously and neither trip nor ground will be a concern; each-way shout. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive 4yo who scored on seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) and has gone close on last two appearances; drew nicely clear of the others with next-time-out winner at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) last month and is only 2lb higher here (due to go up another 2lb soon) but needs to prove himself on the faster ground. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m2f might be his trip but this far is worth exploring and he went close at Lingfield last time (good) despite starting slowly; very at home on soft ground and has won here; respected. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from five starts; scored easily at Newmarket latest; better than ever and may improve further in his current form; respected assuming he's as effective back at 2m and returned to AW. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Given the ease with which he won at Chester (1m2f, good) it was disappointing that he came up short under a penalty at Ayr (good), though again he ran well; he's up 4lb here and they claimed 3lb last time, so has more on at these weights; he could improve for this softer surface, though. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Continued his progress when drawing clear at Chester (10.5f, good) last Sunday; this is more competitive under a 5lb penalty but Ryan Kavanagh claims 3lb and this one has an obvious chance of following up. |
13/8 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-French 4yo who has raced seven times for Ian Williams and encouragingly the best of those efforts was his latest when beaten half a length from the back at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft); back up 2lb; unraced on firmer than good; fair chance provided conditions don't hold him back. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All wins have come in the spring, mainly on soft ground, but there was no win this time round; has his lowest mark since 2020 but easily his best show this season was in March; usually wears a visor or cheekpieces and now he's blinkered first time. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW winner; ran well when second of 15 at Chester (1m4f, good) in May but she's been below her best in the four starts since; on a workable mark but others have stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; beaten over 12l when 50-1 here (7f) a fortnight ago and younger legs are likely to prevail. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time; back in calmer waters now but she looks weighted near best off this mark and others are preferred. |

Ages since he last won but has run well now and again during his losing streak and might be happier getting back on the grass; cheekpieces belatedly tried for the first time. |

6th 3 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since May 2023 but he reappeared from five months off the track with a good third of five in 2m Southwell handicap 18 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut eased 1lb. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |

Winless since 2023 and he signed off for last term with a below-par 14th in November Handicap at Doncaster in November; yard is going well though so no forlorn hope off a reduced mark. |

9st 3lb |
Held on to beat Dust Cover by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May before a disappointing run at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft), taking his record on turf to 0-5; could bounce back returned to this surface. |
16/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Picked up for 25,000gns in February and emerged from midfield to make a successful debut for George Baker over 1m3f on the AW; impressed with his attitude that day as he was under the pump early enough; raised 4lb; 0-4 on turf and unraced on ground slower than good. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on his old form for the Johnstons but he returned after a mammoth absence last month and has been tailed off at big prices in both runs (1m4f/2m) for current yard; lots to prove. |
66/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Quite useful on the Flat up to 1m4f for the Johnstons and later won twice over hurdles for Gary Moore; always in rear on return from a lengthy absence on stable debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) 13 days ago; best watched for now. |

Quite useful on Flat up to 1m4f for the Johnstons and later won twice over hurdles for Gary Moore; however, it's difficult to know what to expect after such a mammoth spell on the sidelines. |
