2nd 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has 48 runs under his belt but amazingly is better than ever and was winning his third race of the year at Beverley (5f, soft) last week; on a career-high mark now but this course specialist made it 2-3 over C&D in May and further rain will make no difference; no ifs or buts and can put up a good show. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner last spring who has largely been in good nick since cheekpieces went on in May, winning at Haydock (his fourth win there) and also at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; has never won off a mark this high but he ran well from it at Hamilton last time and soft ground would hold no fears; should be on the premises. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (12) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has won twice this year (both when ridden by P J McDonald), at Haydock (5f, soft) in May and Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) last time, but that was a 0-105 and he wasn't best drawn; drops back down in grade and should have this run to suit. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three good runs to kick off his 2026 campaign but he has come up well short on his last two starts; suspicion a few will have his measure this time. |
20/1 |

8th 11 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Made all over C&D in June and runner-up on his next two starts; below his best last time at Ayr but a revival would come as no surprise. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran; goes well on soft ground and ran a fine race when second to Trilby (2lb worse off for 0.5l) at Haydock last time (5f, soft; tongue-tie tried); tongue-tie retained and sound each-way chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins this year, the latest a front-running C&D success in June; solid third off this mark at Hamilton 11 days ago; has other pace to contend with this time. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner whose three turf wins have all been on ground slower than good, the most recent coming when holding on at Chester (6f, good to soft) two months ago; may not have things all his own way in front but commands respect off this 2lb higher mark. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
His two turf wins (6f) came on soft and heavy; in good form this year and he made all at Southwell (6f, AW) in April; latest fourth at Carlisle was a fair effort on Tuesday and he's well drawn to attack. |

2nd 8 (9) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground specialist but it was good ground he won on when snapping a two-year losing sequence at Musselburgh (5f) one month ago; was found to have bled from the nose that day and subsequently gelded; up 2lb but his 2yo form would make him a good thing off this mark should that signal a resurgence. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo; it has been a struggle more recently but he is dropping down the weights and appeals as the type to come good soon; that may coincide with him tackling slower ground though. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two wins over 5f on soft/heavy as a juvenile, the second a Listed event at Chantilly; hasn't won since and only seventh of nine on reappearance, but on a fair mark; could go well though stall 1 a slight negative. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in 2024; finished down the field in the Silver Cup at Ripon (6f, good) 11 days ago but he ran well at Thirsk (5f, good) the time before and should be happier back at 5f; others preferred, however. |
16/1 |
|
15th 17 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
5f win here off 2lb higher in May; quiet afterwards until reviving with a second of six at Thirsk last week; has a C&D win on his record but rarely seen over 6f in recent times. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Recorded his fifth turf win when scoring at Ripon (5f, good) in May but he's struggled since and has failed to beat a rival in his last three starts; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
In good form on AW earlier in the year; unplaced both starts since returning to turf this summer and others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by 5f on a stiff track (two of his three wins have been at Beverley); fair fifth at Beverley with a visor tried last time (5f, good; pulled hard); regular cheekpieces back on here but soft ground a negative. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage now but he showed he's still got some ammunition left when a 40-1 winner of 17-runner Doncaster handicap (5f, good to soft) on his March reappearance; only eighth of 11 at Carlisle on his sole subsequent start, however, and he'll need to prove that win wasn't his last hurrah. |
20/1 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran; all 12 wins have been over 5f and is ideally suited by plenty of give in the ground; hasn't been out since Doncaster win in March (5f, good to soft); has plenty in his favour and should go well again. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-French; won over 6f at Chantilly in 2024 (very soft); rather disappointing since joining present yard, including at Carlisle on Tuesday when tried in cheekpieces (retained). |
7/1 |
|
9th 11 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-French; only win was over 6f at Chantilly as a juvenile (very soft); not been in top form this season and needs cheekpieces to have a positive effect. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A 2yo winner over 6f (very soft) in France but she's been high in the weights since trained in Britain and little sign of that changing in two runs this year; down another 2lb but likely that it isn't enough. |

9st 5lb |
Unexposed maiden; underwent wind surgery prior to last week's good third at Thirsk (5f, good; tongue tied first time); today's stiffer test will suit and he should have a bigger run in him soon. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed 3yo who showed clear promise in novice events but he was beaten 14l on his handicap debut at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; had wind surgery since but he needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added after a short break. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 starts; best effort this year when third of 11 here (7f) last month; down in class but minor money perhaps his best hope. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 11 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won a soft-ground 6f maiden at Chepstow last September but he's struggled in four handicaps since, most recently when fading inside the final furlong over this trip at Southwell two weeks ago; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Run exclusively in sprints since handicapping, latterly over 5f; finished last in two runs back this season and has plenty to prove, including stamina. |
