25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all from stall 2 here a fortnight ago under Myla Coppins; she's up in class and the weights (raised 6lb), while stall 7 isn't absolutely ideal. |

Six-time winner; effective at this track and she arrives on the back of a good second under Myla Coppins at Nottingham (5f, good) three weeks ago; has a low draw and looks set for another big run. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

8lb lower than when beaten a head in a division of this last year; missed the kick here two weeks ago but nothing finished better and he looks ready to win again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 13 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Went close in a C&D handicap last July when rated 8lb higher; he has run some fair races in defeat this summer and shouldn't be too far away. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Latest effort suggests he remains in form; still on a long losing sequence but looked an unlucky third, having been forced to switch, over C&D on penultimate start; possibilities off same mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; three wins earlier in the season and she ran as well as she ever has when second of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn to attack; handles good to soft but unraced on slower. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; creditable efforts in defeat in a trio of handicaps over this minimum trip since; just as effective at 6f and enters calculations with the Ivan Furtado stable among the winners. |
11/2 |

3rd 7 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; solid efforts twice since and she is well drawn to attack; should put up a bold show back down in class. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
10th 9 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn and he was in good form when last seen in February; not much wiggle room off this mark though and a lower draw would have been preferable too. |

Goes well around a left-hand bend; unlikely to have things his own way up front but he has the abiliity to win races off this mark. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Kept busy through the winter (won over 5f at Wolverhampton) but holding his form well, challenging wide when fifth of 11 in 5f Chester handicap nine days ago; considered. |
11/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Zipped around Wolverhampton when recording a couple of impressive 5f wins this winter so this track should suit; two solid placed efforts since returned to turf; might find a few better treated though. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not hit top gear this year but signs of a return to form when keeping on from off the pace here 14 days ago in a race he won the previous year; always dangerous if getting a strong pace to chase. |
11/2 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Drawn wide when winning this race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark; not hit top gear yet in 2026 but this should be run to suit him and a revival would come as no surprise. |

Hurtling down the weights but for good reason as this multiple winner is looking very regressive. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran out the impressive winner of a 5f fillies' novice at Lingfield (AW) on her debut last August; not come close to repeating it in four runs this year; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |
25/1 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed 5f AW Lingfield novice on her debut in August but she's failed to go on in three subsequent runs, racing too freely when beating just one in 5f Goodwood handicap 24 days ago; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Thrice-raced filly who has failed to back up the form of her debut success (AW); never landed a blow at Chester switched to turf most recently; something to prove. |

9st 5lb |
1-21; close fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; from 7lb higher) in April; has lost his way since, failing to beat many in 5f contests at Pontefract, Beverley, and Chester; questions to be answered for the time being. |
20/1 |
|
9th 10 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Only run to form once in four runs back on turf this summer and that was over 6f; still 1lb higher than for his AW win in December; others appeal more. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Blitzed his rivals at Southwell in December (5f) when a visor was first used; mostly creditable efforts since until down the field at Pontefract on latest; needs to bounce back from that. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Won a 6f maiden here in June of his 2yo season but that remains his only win; unlikely to be breaking his handicap duck from stall 12. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor. |
9/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting. |

11th 6 (12) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rattled off a seven-timer on the AW earlier this year; rated lower on turf but he's failed to beat a rival at Chester (5f, good) in his last two starts and is now 1-15 on grass; opposable. |
40/1 |

11th 5 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Rattled off a seven-timer on the AW earlier this year; rated lower on turf but went off 40-1 here recently on his return from a break and trailed in last. |
