1st 1 (2) |
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). |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner and she returned to form in a first-time visor (replaced cheekpieces) when narrowly denied in a similar event three weeks ago; has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
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. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-18 on AW but handles the surface and he arrives on the back of a solid 7f run at Catterick last month; each-way shout. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
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. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
15-race maiden; in fair form on turf this summer, placed over 6f twice before fair 7f efforts on her last starts; the return to 6f won't hurt and she did run well on AW once when trained in Ireland. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
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. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Record is only 1-27 and inconsistency has been the characteristic of her 2026 campaign; sold out of Gary Rutherford's yard for £5,000 since C&D defeat last time; others preferred. |
14/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just a single win to her name but showed more on her first crack at this trip at Ayr a fortnight ago, when going off hard in front and only letting Hostelry past; 4lb better off with that one today and this course should suit her style; player. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the frame in 7f Musselburgh handicap in June but has not been firing on all cylinders this year and is not yet proven over 1m. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-race maiden; after a promising third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) on stable debut in June, he took a backward step when fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) and beat only one home in a similar contest at Catterick 13 days ago; first-time blinkers need to have the desired effect. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
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. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Still a maiden after 25 starts but she did best of the rest behind Hurstwood over C&D (first-time blinkers) last month; that was her best effort for some time and has possibilities if she can back that up. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 18 (16) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Runs well now and again but arrives here with a record of 0-24 and from out of the weights; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
50/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
