15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Made it 2-2 for new trainer Robert Cowell when comfortably seeing off eight rivals at Wolverhampton (5f) last week; effectively 7lb higher here but it doesn't look enough to stop him in his current mood. |

Ex-Ruth Carr; won at Windsor on last week's stable debut (5f, good to firm); could go well despite the penalty but has yet to win in nine attempts on AW. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
On a long losing run but she arrives in decent nick, ridden too aggressively when seventh of 12 over 6f here two weeks ago; this C&D winner is not out of things. |
6/1 |

7th 11 (11) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
5f winner here; she was involved in tight finishes at Bath (extended 5f; good to soft and heavy) last October and over 5f here in May but more often than not she tends to run out of steam over this trip. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a couple of C&D wins on his record; not found his best form this year and he has too much to prove for comfort, for all he is tumbling down the weights. |
25/1 |

10th 11 (11) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; won two handicaps last season and he is 10lb lower than for the last of them; not beaten far at Nottingham eight days ago and he's likely to pop up soon. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer who made it three wins in his last five starts when making all at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Friday; it's over three years since he defied a mark this high but he has to be respected in his current mood. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prominent racer; the winner of two of his last four starts, latterly a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) three weeks ago; that form has already received several boosts and a 2lb rise looks lenient; today's sharper test not sure to suit so well but he remains of interest. |

Is 0-10 and not proving easy to catch right, last of five at Brighton (5f) 20 days ago. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-9 but ran his best race this year when third of eight at Goodwood (5f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); just needs a bit more to shed his maiden tag. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark with an emphatic win on turf here (5f, good to firm) last month and she defied a penalty when making all at Thirsk nine days later; that was a narrow success last time but a 3lb rise looks fair enough and she's a big player again back on AW. |

3rd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well down the field in her first two handicaps (5f/6f) but moves back up in trip and drops in grade here; still unexposed; worth a glance in the betting. |
12/1 |
|
18th 20 (17) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Four starts, one each at 5f, 6f, 7f and 1m; best form by some way when second over this trip at Chelmsford (AW; 40-1) on second go for Anthony Carson, which could be a straw to clutch at, but form in a maiden and handicap for this yard leaves her with work to do. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Probably failed to stay 7f last time and won a C&D handicap the time before; however, he's got a lot on his plate at these weights. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp success at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 12 days ago; has a penalty but he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last spring and he looks worth another try at this trip; dangerous. |
