2nd 3 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
3yo who completed a double when landing a Class 4 handicap over C&D last month; well held in two quick-fire runs at Glorious Goodwood but he's back in calmer waters now and is a player if he can get back near best; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |

13th 10 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won five of 15 races, including this month at Thirsk and Newmarket (both 1m4f on good to firm); Wednesday's 1m4f handicap here was a much sterner test of his credentials and he came up well short at 28-1, so others are again preferred. |
9/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) on July 1 and he followed up at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) ten days later; clearly in good heart but those wins came in five-runner, Class 4 handicaps and this is a much sterner test of his credentials. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner last July and he's finished close up back at this track (1m4f, good to firm) in his last two starts; didn't get much luck when fourth in a Class 3 event last time and he's a player off unchanged mark. |
6/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Often ridden by claimer Alexandra Egan, including when he won a four-runner C&D race (good to firm) last July off the same mark as today; creditable second on last two outings (C&D latest) suggest he will be bang there. |
4/1 |

9st 7lb |
Won under 7lb claimer in four-runner C&D race (good to firm) last July off 1lb higher; Yarmouth second one month ago and should be seriously involved. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Landed 11.5f novice at Lingfield in June; ran well in first-time cheekpieces when second of nine in 1m2f handicap at Chester 22 days ago; can race off a 1lb lower mark here so bold showing is on the cards in retained headgear. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
No course form but acts on good and faster ground; it took six races to get off the mark, when odds-on over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield in June, and he proved very disappointing when a shade of odds-on for last month's handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f; beaten 18l); now goes in cheekpieces and he could be given another chance, especially as the horse he beat in his novice has won since. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm; placed over 1m2f on first four starts this season, before comfortably justifying 4-6 favouritism in a 11.6f novice at Lingfield on latest outing; this unchanged, opening handicap mark seems to demand more but he may have more to offer at this sort of trip. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win (12 races) came in a 1m2f handicap in April 2025; made a respectable debut for new yard this April but took a backward step next time; she's now 6lb below her peak mark and moves back up from 1m2f, having been below form once each over 1m3f and 1m4f last term; stamina in the family, though. |

5th 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m2f handicap at Wetherby last April but found life tougher afterwards (highly tried); left William Knight prior to her Yarmouth reappearance, a race where she shaped as though the run would bring her on; better expected this time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
In winning form on the AW at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in the winter but failed to beat a rival on his return from five months in 1m4f handicap at Newmarket last month; has something to prove now. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins over 1m4f, the last three on Tapeta; not seen since a career best to win at Wolverhampton in January and he's 4lb higher here; twice runner-up on turf last year; may need to hit a new turf high but he requires a second look given this small field. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (7) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Triple 1m4f winner, including on Tapeta; handicapper has just had his measure since his last win but he's gone very close several times, the latest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); up 1lb; respected. |
