24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has not matched this year's AW form since returned to turf; should be well treated now but not sure stall 22 will be an advantage. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Triple AW winner but he's 1-13 on turf and was beaten 10l behind Glory Hyde over C&D two weeks ago; has something to prove and all of his wins have been over 7f. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Finally exploited a big drop in the weights when landing Class 5 at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; similar form when second at Pontefract last week; 3lb ahead of the handicapper and one of two solid form contenders for Liam Bailey, although a lower draw would have been preferred. |

2nd 3 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Often a slow starter but he got away on level terms when landing 5.5f Doncaster handicap eight days ago; not out of things under a 5lb penalty. |

She's returned in good heart this spring, finishing second (7f) then first (6f) on Southwell AW; also effective on turf; leading claims. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Placed in all three runs this year, racing wide when third of nine at Beverley (5f, good) ten days ago; trainer, who also saddles Tiriac, has won the last two runnings of this race. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Came good twice last summer and he's knocking at the door again, doing his best work late on when second at Carlisle (5f, good) four weeks ago; one of the likelier candidates. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won for two years but made an encouraging return from his second wind op and a six-month layoff when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month; holds claims if he can back up that run. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has had wind surgery on two occasions, namely prior to reappearance success in 2024 (off 3lb higher) and prior to this 2026 seasonal debut; today may prove the time to catch him. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins have been at 6f on AW; consistent sort who ran his usual game race when third of eight at Southwell (6f) in April; has had wind surgery since and must be of interest if it sparks any improvement. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, two seconds and a third to his name from 11 starts over C&D; beaten as favourite (behind Farandaway) here a month ago but is on a workable mark now and one to consider back under Rossa Ryan. |

Signed off for 2025 with 6f success here in October; looked rusty after seven months off when ninth of ten in 5f Windsor handicap last month; should strip sharper here. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |
5/1 |
|
6th 4 (11) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but had previously narrowly beaten the winner of that race over this C&D; drawn wide, but still respected if bouncing back now returned here. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins on Tapeta in 2025 and he's had just three goes at this trip, all on turf; he didn't do badly when fourth on Carlisle's stiff track last time out so perhaps he's worth another shot at 7f, albeit his AW mark is 5lb higher than on turf. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on AW; two good runs at Carlisle this summer, second in May and third on Saturday, but they were over 6f and his stamina for this trip is the obvious concern. |
12/1 |
