22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
In-form 9yo whose last four runs have been over C&D; failed narrowly under a penalty two weeks ago (behind Fifty Nifty) but 1lb lower here and should be involved. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Retains plenty of vitality aged nine; record over C&D features wins in this race two years ago and in his last two starts, latest by a neck seven days ago; rock-solid kept to this scenario and likely to remain competitive even with 4lb penalty. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last three wins have been over C&D and latest was in a Class 4 on good to firm 13 days ago; that was a narrow success but he finished well to beat the favourite and is only 2lb higher here; respected. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player. |

2nd 14 (8) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Quick to make his mark for current yard when going in over C&D in April; largely in good form since and posted a solid fifth of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap 12 days ago; considered. |
20/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Twice went close last month at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) then ran pretty well when seventh of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) most recently; this is less competitive than last time and he could be thereabouts. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hit a purple patch when completing a quick hat-trick at Nottingham (6f) in June; posted a respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f) last time and very much one to consider given he has run well on all three previous visits here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third to Spring Bloom over C&D last week when bidding for a four-timer after wins elsewhere (maiden previously); still on career-high mark but, by the same token, remains in good form; not dismissed. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won on the Rowley Mile in May (6f, good; 4lb lower) and last time finished sixth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood, which wasn't a bad run; usually ridden from behind so needs a strong pace which he might get. |
10/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Bounced back to form to win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May but two lesser runs have followed on the July Course there since. |

C&D winner on good to firm last year; bounced back to form to win over 6f on the Rowley course here (good) in May; a lesser effort over C&D has followed but a revival isn't ruled out. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He's won over 7f but his two July course wins came over 6f; well handicapped now and although his form seems to have slacked off since he went close over this C&D in June this is his first 7f run since; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Normally races over 6f/7f but has form at 1m; usually runs in Class 4; gained last three wins at the Newmarket tracks; inconsistent in 2026 but this represents a drop back in grade, off an attractive mark to boot. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Goes well on both Newmarket courses, including a win in this race on good to firm two years ago; good third over C&D last month but behind Yes I'm Mali when only sixth back here a fortnight ago. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-16 on turf; the handicapper has been in command so far this year but he is edging down the weights and may yet come good on grass; refused to race in last season's Ayr Silver Cup. |
20/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 15 attempts; latest Thirsk fourth (6f, good to firm) as good as anything he's produced on the grass but may find at least the odd one too strong again. |
7/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed twice over 6f for new stable (including here) and he kept chipping away when fifth over 7f at Wolverhampton (Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 19 days ago; form figures here read 123 and he's worth considering back at this venue from a tempting mark. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed twice over 6f for new stable this spring (turf/Polytrack) and also has form over 7f; needs to bounce back from a poor turf run in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago but has slipped to a tempting mark and will be dangerous if he responds well to first-time blinkers. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; respectable efforts in 6f/7f handicaps for new yard this year and first-time cheekpieces won't need to give him too much extra having been eased a further 2lb. |
