15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Back to form from out of the blue in a first-time visor when getting off the mark at the 11th time of asking at Chester (extended 7f, good) five weeks ago; plenty went his way (got a dream run through on the inner after leaders went hard) and wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up. |

1st 9 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden who has been out of sorts in his three runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a big turnaround back at this trip; visor added. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |

7lb higher than her last winning mark but has a course record of 1212; cannot be written off. |

3rd 6 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Below form after racing too freely at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) last week but began this season with two good efforts, the latter a close second at Chester (7.6f, good); could have a say. |
12/1 |

12th 8 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won four times last year and was beaten less than a length into second of nine at Chester (7.5f, good; goes well there) 17 days ago; admirable sort, but looks weighted to her best and may prove vulnerable to younger rivals. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
On a good mark and this is weaker than the races he has contested on his last three starts; a well-run 6f shouldn't be a problem and he is a key player despite his wide stall. |
14/1 |

7th 9 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Three-time AW winner who has made the frame four times on turf this summer (6f-7.6f); disappointed on latest outing, having been restless in the stalls, but his current mark is workable and he'll be fine over today's trip. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner who is 0-12 on turf but was very competitive in his last two races here, beaten a short head (7f) and then faring best of those who chased a strong pace two weeks ago (C&D); firmly in the mix. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Promiment racer who is well drawn to attack; three creditable runs here for his new stable in 2026 but others appeal as being better treated. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Overall record of 3-11 but he's not been easy to predict; finished down the field here when last seen in May but he's now only 1lb higher than when completing a double in this race last year; cheekpieces are reapplied after a short break and he needs a close look on this drop back in grade. |
9/2 |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Two course wins (7.6f) for Hugo Palmer last summer; respectable fourth on this month's stable debut; should give his running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Infrequent winner who is usually held up (can start slowly) and he needs everything to drop right; capable off this mark but if missing the kick from stall 1 he could be behind the black ball. |
8/1 |
|
13th 12 (15) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won in fields of a similar size to today's at York (7f, good) last July and Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in June; outside of those wins his form figures since last June read 000089055 and he's a type who needs everything to drop right, but it's possible that will happen off an expected good pace today. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) last month and he backed that up with a 2l fifth from off the pace at Doncaster three weeks ago; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Missed more than 18 months prior to a few lesser efforts in the spring, but has found his level again; enjoyed the run of the race when winning narrowly on Polytrack last Wednesday but set to go well again under a penalty for a yard in good nick. |
7/2 |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All six wins have been on turf, the most recent at Chester (7.5f, good to firm) in May 2024 off a 9lb higher mark than today's; back to form when a front-running second here over 1m in June; below his best at Chester 32 days ago but he has a handy draw and is capable of bouncing back. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here off 2lb lower last October, his third over C&D; last month's Chester comeback from a short break should have brought him on and he holds each-way claims under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a good record for the yard. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |
16/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 since his winning debut here last September (7f); last two runs have also been here at about 7f and neither was wildly encouraging (in cheekpieces then an eyeshield); bit to prove, including stamina for this far. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a C&D novice on debut last September but he's 0-7 since; has run respectably at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) and Chester (7f, good to soft) in his last two runs but he needs to find more with eyeshields now tried. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |
25/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His nine wins have been on good ground or slower, with six of them coming at Chester; caught wide there on his reappearance and was well held in seventh there over 7f 13 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces back on. |
