9th 3 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Probably failed to stay 7f last time and won a C&D handicap the time before; however, he's got a lot on his plate at these weights. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp success at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 12 days ago; has a penalty but he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last spring and he looks worth another try at this trip; dangerous. |
6/1 |

1st 8 (6) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he has plenty of ability for one operating at this level; back to form with a second of eight over 5f here eight weeks ago; no problem with the sixth furlong and he is more appealing than many. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark at the 24th attempt when keeping on to beat Midnight's Dream over C&D two starts ago; didn't see things out under a penalty at Chepstow six days ago but he's now 3lb lower; solid. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Consistent in recent months, but was having his 25th outing when off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) ten days ago; 3lb wrong under his 5lb penalty and likely to find one or two too strong. |
8/1 |
|
1st 9 (1) |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Was back off his last winning mark when beaten a head and a nose into third of 12 over C&D last month (second and fourth have won since); up 1lb and drawn wider this time, but still one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Began the year in hot form, winning 5f handicaps here and at Chelmsford; back to his last winning mark but he's barely beaten a rival on his last three runs. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark with an emphatic win on turf here (5f, good to firm) last month and she defied a penalty when making all at Thirsk nine days later; that was a narrow success last time but a 3lb rise looks fair enough and she's a big player again back on AW. |
7/4 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-8 on AW but she made it second-time lucky on turf when scoring by 6l at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last week; this is a deeper race but she hit a clear personal best last time and is a major player again under a penalty (due to be up 1lb in future). |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple winner down the years; solid effort on turf three weeks ago and won't mind getting back on AW; looks the likeliest of Phil Mcentee's three runners. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest of his 11 wins came at Lingfield (6f, AW) in January and he went close at Wolverhampton next time; fair effort over 6f at Lingfield 36 days ago but this slight drop back in trip probably isn't ideal. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Enjoyed a hot spell in late 2025, winning three times (5f) either side of a close second over C&D; it has been tougher going this year and although Billy Loughnane's booking heightens interest, the draw could have been kinder. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Closed out last year with a Tapeta win in first-time cheekpieces off 2lb higher; struggled this time round and will need to improve somewhat on previous turf efforts. |
14/1 |
|
7th 12 (8) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on well when scoring over C&D in November; ran okay back from a break in April and latest lacklustre run can be excused on account of soft ground; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
10th 5 (1) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a nursery at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last November; April's reappearance sixth at Southwell (6f, AW) gives him something to build on and he's a possible contender if the return to turf isn't an issue. |

9st 4lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW winner in 2025; only eighth of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago, and she's not proving easy to catch right this season. |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time course winner (6f/7f), with the most recent coming last June off a 7lb higher mark; solid effort here over 6f nine days ago and steps back up in trip with place claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 13 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Not at her best lately but has become dangerously well handicapped, 7lb lower than when winning for the third time over C&D just over a year ago; ran with credit on a couple of occasions back here in the spring and may be worth chancing in the returning blinkers. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Won three 6f handicaps at Newcastle over the winter when trained by Richard Spencer; two heavy defeats since joining this yard and risky, for all he's dropping in class this time. |
16/1 |
|
11th 12 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been campaigned exclusively on AW where he had three wins over 6f at Newcastle for Richard Spencer; sold for 5,000gns to join new trainer last month and is a fascinating contender back in trip on turf debut for shrewd yard. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month when returning from 137 days off (typically started slowly); tongue-tie returns and is a dual winner on turf (5f; one on good to firm) but hard to support. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (5) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his first four starts but his losing run is up to 15 and he was short of his best in three runs early in the year; sold for 5,000gns in February and new yard quick to get him back sprinting; worth a market check off his reduced mark. |
12/1 |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
