28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Took nine attempts to get off the mark but now bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Chester (7.5f; soft/good); up another 5lb but still one for the shortlist now that something has clearly clicked. |

1st 9 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
3yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt when swooping late for a last-gasp win over C&D (soft) last month; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and this return to quicker ground is no problem; respected. |
9/4 |

1st 7 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to score but she was runner-up for the third time at Windsor (1m) in May and then suffered a very poor run when beaten just over 2l into fifth in 1m Newmarket handicap four weeks ago; merits serious consideration despite 2lb weights rise. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins (1m1f/1m, good) for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year; second start for current yard when runner-up at Chester (7f, good) in May; three poor runs followed but back to form in blinkers (retained here) when second of nine back at Chester (extended 7f, good) six weeks ago; needs to prove his stamina and that he can string good efforts together. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins (1m1f/1m, good) for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year; runner-up at Chester (7f, good) in his second run for current yard but he's posted three duck eggs since; well handicapped on his best form but he needs to get back on track with blinkers added. |
10/1 |
|
11th 5 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Ran encouragingly in first couple of starts for new stable but has posted two duck eggs kept to 7f since, latest in competitive field at York; doesn't look as if he's about to add to his Irish wins. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On dangerous mark but he's generally struggled this year except for a fair third in a Chester handicap (7.6f, good) last month; had tough task in a claimer last time but he's now 1-21 and others are more convincing |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Third in a C&D handicap last month but that's been about it since joining this stable; now visored and doesn't have obvious claims on these terms. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won two in a row at Chester (6f/7f, soft/good) in June and respectable efforts at Chester (7.5f, good) and Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) since; however, he needs something extra on today's first attempt at 1m if he's to land a competitive handicap such as this. |
16/1 |
|
6th 12 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Has form figures of 114, all at Chester (6f and around 7f), since being gelded (maiden previously); not disgraced last time but has something to prove off the same mark switched to a different venue and upped in grade. |
18/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-2 at Chester when completing a double in a 7f handicap (good) two weeks ago; up another 4lb but he finished well to beat a clear second last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; big player. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner; cheekpieces applied for final three races and after two thirds (1m) he got no luck in running at Chester; now having first run for Tom Ward and wouldn't rule out. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D last autumn; took a while to get going this season but he's been placed at with cheekpieces added in his last two runs (1m, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage 4yo, who won an AW maiden (1m) for George Boughey last autumn but he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this season; has lots to prove and needs a major revival back in trip. |
33/1 |
|
10th 8 (9) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage AW winner who trailed home last of 12 at Newmarket on stable/seasonal debut; best watched unless the market suggests he's likely to leave that effort behind. |
20/1 |
|
12th 6 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Built upon previous promise (including on turf) to win maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW) last September; 3l third of 12 on handicap debut there (1m, AW) in October on final run for George Boughey; sold for 50,000gns later that month; unexposed but lacks a recent run and he needs to be better than ever if he's to make a winning stable debut. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A bit to prove in the reapplied visor and back over 6f, with his last win coming at 7f; badly drawn last time at Chester but disappointed the run before as well. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring over 7f here (good to soft) last month but he wasn't in the same form at Epsom last week; has bit to prove again after that and he hasn't had much luck with the draw. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Largely in decent nick this season, snapping a losing run at Chester (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago in this refitted headgear combination; retains handicapping scope off 5lb higher. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed 8.5f maiden at Beverley on her return in April but she hasn't kicked on in handicaps, only ninth of 12 at York (7f) 27 days ago; she needs to take a big step forward. |
11/1 |
|
9th 4 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Narrow winner of a Beverley maiden in April; matched that when fifth on her handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, good) but two lesser runs have followed; Mr Noble is the more obvious of the Karl Burke pair. |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Narrow winner of a Beverley maiden before finishing a fair fifth on her handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, good); found things tough in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last time but she's back in calmer waters now and still has potential after only five starts; not ruled out. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who went off too fast for his own good over the extended 7f here two weeks ago and folded, which was also the case in his two previous runs; on a handy mark if he did get any freedom up front, though stamina doubts remain over quite this far. |
33/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers have been added and latest was over 7f here (good) in May; well held in his last two runs (1m2f/1m) but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and is well drawn back at this trip; not ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
10th 2 (16) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers were added (7f/1m), most recently over 7f at Chester last month off 3lb lower; didn't get home there over 1m2f (good to soft) 11 days ago but should be happier back at this trip. |
