9st 10lb |
Five-time AW winner who made it sixteenth time lucky on turf when seeing off five rivals over 1m4f at Doncaster (good to soft) under Conor Whiteley 26 days ago; 3lb higher in a deeper race now but the Michael Herrington stable continues in good form. |

5-19 on AW but 0-15 on the grass after finishing well behind at Thirsk two weeks ago (1m4f, good); he'll be of greater interest when back on the synthetics. |

10st 0lb |
1m1f winner in France last March; beaten about 4l in 1m/1m4f races in recent weeks so seems to be finding his feet for new yard and this is a drop in grade; fast ground is an unknown. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers. |

Only had the seven races and could improve for going this far judged on her keeping-on fifth over 1m2f at Pontefract; was beaten only 2.5l that day. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Newmarket raider; six-race maiden who is proving reasonably consistent and whose handicap efforts, all at about 1m, suggest this step up in distance may well prompt progress; first success is conceivable. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Tapeta nursery the only time he's run on the AW; the change of surface is the main hope, with him having struggled in three turf runs since coming back from nine months off. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won a nursery off 4lb higher in 2024; below that level when confined to only three appearances last year and while his reappearance wasn't devoid of promise, his run at Newmarket was; goes beyond 1m2f for the first time. |
12/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored on his AW/nursery debut in 2024 but wasn't competitive in just three starts last year; did gain plenty of market traction on the last of them, though, and last month's reappearance at Bath wasn't totally devoid of promise; tries 1m2f for just the second time and he's not fully exposed. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Most of her best AW efforts were on Polytrack but there was a 2024 second on Wolverhampton Tapeta; won at Thirsk (1m4f) on this day last year off a 3lb higher mark; no joy since but her Ayr fourth (1m2f) on latest start was a healthy step back in the right direction. |

A dual 1m3f/1m4f scorer in 2025; underwent wind surgery before only fifth of six in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster three weeks ago; needs to take a step forward. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

Veteran who has won only twice in 56 career starts and this season's fourths were remote; 2lb out of the weights. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Only 2-54 and a long time has passed since that second success; well handicapped on some form over 1m6f last season but he was up and down last year and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |
