6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Went very close twice in a row this summer before winning 15-runner C&D handicap (good to firm) in July; has also won on soft/heavy; below par at Hamilton last time but not written off in view of previous good form. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

Six wins last season included one over C&D; went close at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in June and Ayr (1m, good) last month, before landing a 0-80 at York (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; steps back up in grade but can't be discounted. |

Consistent type who won six times last season and arrives on the back of two close seconds; this race looks deeper than his last two but he's in fine form and unlikely to be far away. |

9st 11lb |
All four wins have been over 1m at Kempton where he nearly added another last month; record of 0-9 on turf but also went close at York two runs ago, albeit on good to firm (slower might not be preferable); one or two others appeal more; first-time tongue-tie. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been over C&D and latest was in March; record of 0-9 on turf but he returned to form with a close second in a big field at York last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he should get a decent tow into this race; respected. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

All four wins on the AW but he's just as effective on turf; needs to bounce back from a poor run at Newmarket's July meeting but he's down sharply in grade here and his form from the spring has a solid look to it. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
On a long losing sequence stretching back to June 2024 but has run some big races in the interim, including when fourth of 16 in this last year (good) and when a close third of 15 over C&D (good to firm) in July; can run well on soft ground; there's every chance that he'll be thereabouts. |

Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |

Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted. |

1st 3 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Lightly raced 4yo who has run some encouraging races in handicaps this year; made good headway before run petered out when fifth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and he could benefit from today's drop back in trip and grade; possible player. |

He has a poor 1-26 strike-rate but seemed fine at the trip when sixth of 15 over C&D (good to firm) in July and has finished placed on both outings since (7f/7.3f, good to soft/soft); ran okay on a couple of occasions last year when these cheekpieces were last worn; he might not be far away. |

3rd 4 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Beaten 23 times since winning a maiden at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) in June 2023; several good runs in defeat for Tim Easterby this year, including a short-head second at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) ten days ago; up 2lb but still feasibly weighted. |

2nd 7 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |

0-22 since his Newbury maiden win in 2023 but he's on a reduced mark and ran well when sixth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) last time; should get a good pace back in trip and has each-way claims if he gets the breaks. |

3rd 5 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

9st 3lb |
Made all in this last year and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces off an 8lb lower mark; however, following an encouraging reappearance at Newmarket in May he's failed to shine on his three starts since and needs to turn things around. |

9th 4 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Front-runner with a favourable low draw; shaped nicely at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance and quick ground was blamed for a poor run next time; below the mark of his last win (over C&D) and no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front, especially if the rain materialises. |

Sole win from 13 came at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September; placed at Thirsk (7f) in April and Hamilton (1m1f) in June, before a slight dip in form; latest Ayr fifth (1m2f, beaten under 5l) respectable; 2lb lower, with claiming rider Shay Farmer booked, so isn't discounted. |

5th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

1-12; fair third over 1m1f at Hamilton three starts back but lesser efforts at York (1m6f and 1m) since; still 3lb above his winning mark and best form is at up to 1m1f; others more appealing. |

Out of sorts on turf in her last two runs, but six of her seven wins have been on Tapeta (including over C&D) and latest was off 3lb at Wolverhampton in December; usually comes from off the pace and she's one to keep an eye on back in this sphere. |
