11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All six wins have been over longer trips, five on the AW at Wolverhampton and the other here in June (1m4f, good to soft); only 2lb higher than for that success but he was below his best on the AW last month and now drops back in trip. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
All five AW wins have been at this track, four of which were over this trip; recorded his first turf success at Doncaster in June and has run well since, which augurs well for this return to AW. |

Off the mark on turf when beating five rivals at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) last month but he was beaten 8l when fifth of ten off this mark at York (1m4f, good to firm) 19 days ago; now drops back in trip. |

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. |

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. |

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 Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
0-9 and starting to look exposed, but she represents a powerful yard and the drop in trip may be no bad thing; hood returns. |
3/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
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. |

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. |

4th 2 (2) |
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 |

8th 3 (7) |
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. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Mixed record in five runs this season, but she's reached the frame twice including a close third at Ayr (1m2f) on her penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and her two wins last season were off higher marks. |
11/2 |

6th 1 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice last year, including over this C&D on good to soft; good effort when third at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) 17 days ago but she hasn't been the most constent; claims if backing up that latest effort. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice off marks slightly higher than today's last season (1m3f/1m4f) and was seemingly back in good nick when running-on fourth over C&D (good) last month, but suffered heavy defeat on AW 16 days ago and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

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. |
