28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner at around this trip last year (Chepstow maiden and Sedgefield novice); comes into this having won a Carlisle handicap on the Flat three weeks ago (1m1f, soft); quite interesting. |

1st 1 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a record of 3-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; creditable third at Newbury (1m4f, good) on seasonal debut most recently; major player off same mark, assuming he copes with this drop back in trip (stiff track and forecast slow ground are helpful in that respect). |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoying an excellent year and garnered a sixth success in ten-runner handicap at Ayr (1m2f, soft) in June; good second of 13 there (good to soft) back from a short break 24 days ago; likely to give her running again. |
7/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Enjoying a fine year and garnered a sixth success in ten-runner handicap over C&D in June; freshened up since and remains handily weighted despite a 5lb rise; big shout. |

1st 4 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Took form to whole new level at Chester (1m2f, soft; also suited by good) a week ago, storming 7l clear, and has now won five times this year; 3lb well in under 5lb penalty; obvious contender. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Usually a front-runner; doesn't have the best of strike-rates (2-22) but three good runs in blinkers at Ayr (1m; all on good to firm; has form on good to soft) in June and he stays this trip; a possible. |
5/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; galvanised by first-time blinkers when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and although he has been expensive to follow since, he has still performed with great credit; the headgear was left off at Ayr last week but returns today; big run expected. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Handles all surfaces; many good runs on turf over the last year, making all in first-time blinkers here (1m, good to firm) in July and two solid efforts since; headgear left off now tackling 7f for the first time since 2yo days in Ireland but has another good run in him. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Handy sort who won twice here last month, taking his C&D record to 3-3; only beat one home at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) eight days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove given he handles a soft surface on turf. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who completed a double when battling well at Southwell (7f) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he has plenty of placed form in this sphere and is only 2lb higher than last time; could be a big factor again and any rain would be a bonus. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Suited by this surface and his rivals never really got a look in when he made all here three weeks ago, taking his record to 2-2 over C&D; has gone back up 7lb but he's only just above his winning mark on Kempton AW last June and has another good run in him. |

9st 11lb |
Dug in to repel Qitaal over C&D (good; from 5lb lower) in June and lost out narrowly to stablemate Poet's Dawn back here the following month; met with trouble at Musselburgh (1m1f, selling handicap) latest; Rhys Elliott takes off 3lb. |
5/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |

Comes here in decent form having won at Ripon in June and finished a close second to a stablemate there last month (also 1m2f, good); contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |

8yo who capitalised on a reduced mark to win over C&D (good) last month before 7l second to easy winner in amateur jockeys' race at Pontefract (1m2f, good); he's not ruled out back here. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been a prolific winner down the years, including at Carlisle; not solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may have positive effect; successful in last Class 5 attempt. |
11/1 |

6th 10 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |
|
12th 15 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
10-50 turf; made all, clinging on, at Redcar (1m2f, good; 20-1) ten days ago; 3lb higher, but with 3lb claimer Conor Whiteley taking over in the saddle; is better known as a miler, so stamina could be the thorny issue, especially if more rain arrives. |

1st 3 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m winner in 2025 but yet to hit top form this season, finishing just fourth of six in 1m Pontefract handicap 17 days ago; on a falling mark but more is required. |
10/1 |

Three Flat wins, latest off 7lb higher at Wetherby in June 2025 (1m2f, good to firm); well beaten on first two runs (following a break) this term, but shaped better on AW latest (1m3f); still has a bit to prove at present. |

Three-time winner, most recently at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last June off a 5lb higher mark; however, he's struggled in four starts since and now has a bit to prove; down in class. |

Ended 2025 out of sorts after 1m2f Wetherby success last June; off 11 months before coming in a well-held eighth of 11 in 1m1f Carlisle handicap on his return last month; this course scorer needs to take a major step forward. |

Pulled up lame over hurdles on his first go for this yard and he received a 62l humbling back on the Flat at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) 19 days ago; good form case to be made on previous efforts for Ed Bethell but can't be considered until he starts showing something. |
