4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Following a two-month break he returned to form and landed a gamble in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Thursday; he's never finished better than seventh on turf and the surface switch is a concern, but he'll be tough to beat if reproducing anything like his latest form. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f at Kempton when trained by Heather Main; yet to build on his debut for this yard but is now down to a career-low mark; steps back up in trip and cheekpieces return (worn once previously). |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A couple of respectable efforts in May/June but she's been well beaten on her last two starts and has won just one of her 24 races. |
14/1 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly here at the end of May (7f, good to firm) but she otherwise has a good course record; ought to be well treated now but she isn't a solid option. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Belied 33-1 odds when fourth at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2lb lower than for last summer's win at Redcar (7f, good to soft) but her overall profile remains unconvincing. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has been beaten on his last 13 starts and hasn't really shone elsewhere on his last two outings; however, this four-time course winner was second in this last year and a respectable fourth over C&D three starts ago; could have a part to play now back here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not beaten far on his last two starts and this veteran is only 1lb higher than for his win in this event last year; well drawn; solid claims. |
100/30 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Remains a maiden after 14 starts but she's returned from a break in good form this summer, finishing in the first three on her last three starts (6f/7f, good/good to firm; including here); could be thereabouts. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Exposed maiden but she has run with credit in two 6f handicaps this summer, finishing second of seven at Catterick last week; returning to 7f will be in her favour and she is high on the list. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has proved an inconsistent maiden but ran encouragingly off a reduced mark at Carlisle last time when dropped back to 6f, returned to turf and back from a layoff; possibilities provided she builds on that effort. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two-time course winner who showed some spark when third over C&D in May; however, this 7yo has struggled on her four starts since and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompting a revival. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The most recent of her five wins came at Catterick last July; third there over 7f in May but she's struggled in three outings since, including back at Catterick eight days ago; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Slow starts are becoming an issue and she's been well beaten on her last two starts; however, she showed spark when third over C&D (good) three runs ago and she won this last year (good to firm); not discounted. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

She's run some respectable races this season but over shorter; 0-23 and hasn't been shaping as though a first win is imminent. |

6th 11 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
22-race maiden; third in a Leicester classified two runs ago (cheekpieces on first time) but well beaten last time. |

7th 12 (8) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Proved resurgent in first-time cheekpieces at Leicester (classified race) most recently but has her limitations and remains a maiden. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
13-race maiden who is unraced beyond 6f; after a promising third on stable debut here (6f, good to firm) in June he took a backward step when fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) latest, but this 3yo is not ruled out. |
15/2 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to progress as a 2yo and was well held in sprint handicaps on the AW and turf for previous yard; however, he shaped nicely on his debut for this one when third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) in June so now he's of more interest again. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden who regressed during a busy first season; well beaten in his two runs this year and has left Brian Ellison since; his mark continues to fall but best watched on stable debut. |
