7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 4yo who scored over C&D (good to soft) in June before making it five wins in his last seven starts when overcoming interference to shade a close finish at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; he and the second were clear of the rest on Town Moor so a 4lb rise may not stop him. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden; kept of for third when upped to 8.4f and fitted with cheekpieces at Beverley (good to firm) this month and looks worth a crack at this even longer trip but others in this field have more persuasive profiles. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fair juvenile maiden who posted a solid fifth on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in May; had too much use made of her when ninth at Sandown (7f) last month and no surprise to see this Mehmas filly get back on track here with cheekpieces added. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts in next two starts and he had an excuse here last time, when he got hampered by a faller; now only 1lb higher than for that last success and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Successful at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month and that has been followed by two solid runs, the latest at Beverley on Tuesday; one of three runners for Tim Easterby. |
13/2 |

4th 7 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Snapped a losing run when over C&D last month and the race didn't go smoothly for him when third at Redcar; considered. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
The switch to this yard immediately paid off when she made all to narrowly land a Wetherby maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last month; well held back in a handicap last time, but she should cope with any softening of conditions. |
20/1 |

10th 14 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Fair maiden for Ed Walker; made a winning start for new yard in five-runner maiden at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; not out of things back in handicap company, although yard also has Star Cast in here. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on ground quicker than good, seemingly best at around 1m on Tapeta and good to soft so far; perhaps found soft ground slower than ideal when well held at Ffos Las (1m2f; first-time blinkers, now discarded) in June; has left Ed Walker for 9,500gns since and still has some trip queries. |
100/30 |
Betting Forcast
9/4 Shimmering Sands, 9/2 Mwafaq, 7/2 Enamorus, 3/1 Kitsune Power, 11/2 Ziata
Verdict
Upped further in distance with the cheekpieces retained, ENAMORUS may build on her latest effort and get off the mark. Kitsune Power (second pick) holds solid claims, while Shimmering Sands warrants respect in his current form.[Steve Boow]
