12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner in May and only a length away at Carlisle three starts later; not sure what happened at Thirsk 11 days ago but has a big run in him. |
7/1 |

8st 12lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in May and has run well in defeat at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) and Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) on his last two starts; he's in with an each-way chance. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner from the front last October; mostly creditable efforts in defeat this year and should give it a good shot back at a venue which suits, particularly if he can obtain an uncontested lead. |
9/2 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A dual 7f Catterick scorer in October; back in very good form this season, and probably best forgiven his latest 11th in 7f Thirsk handicap when missing the start and unable to lead; the sort to bounce back. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
9/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Campaigned solely at 7f this term but shapes as if he'll be well suited by this return to 1m; has met trouble in running on his last two starts; thrown in on the pick of his form for Richard Hannon and could be ready to strike. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 4yo who won back-to-back handicaps at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month before a near-miss at Galway (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago; has won over this trip in the past and he has leading claims off just 1lb higher than last time. |

2nd 7 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
British raider seeking a hat-trick after back to back fast ground wins over 7.5f at Beverley; has gone up 8lb for those two victories; clearly in fine fettle and nicely drawn but may need quicker ground. |

9st 4lb |
Three wins from 27 starts include one here over 8.5f last May; has finished second in each of his three starts this season (good to soft/soft) but has a bit to do to reverse placings with Return To Unit from their meeting at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) two months ago. |

Looked on the up when landing 1m Pontefract handicap in April but failed to build on it when third of five at Nottingham (1m) last month; still low mileage and not written off. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice last season and was seemingly back in good form when third at Haydock (7f, good) in May, his second run this year, but two lesser efforts have followed and he now has a point to prove. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A two-time 7f scorer last September; posted a good third at Haydock (7f) in May but beat just one in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; needs to get back on track. |

9st 7lb |
Ran well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month; respectable fourth of 14 at York (6f, good) since but she's yet to win from a mark in the 80s. |
33/1 |
|
4th 6 (11) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

She was dropped to this grade when running well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) three weeks ago; same mark and stays this trip so she ought to be on the premises. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-6 in Ireland with one notable effort; joined this yard for 5,500gns and made a positive start when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); now goes in cheekpieces and his best Irish run was in blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

0-7 in Ireland with one notable effort when narrowly beaten in a 5f handicap at Naas in March (first-time blinkers); struggled in two following runs, the latest tried in a visor; changed hands for 5,500gns; likely best watched. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has led but not dependent on tactics; slowly away and never threatened at Chester latest but a first win shouldn't be far away on earlier narrow defeats, at Musselburgh and Carlisle (both 7f; good and good to firm), closely matched with Black Storm on the latter occasion; thereabouts. |
16/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

No wins in 11 but denied by a neck in his last two races, both over 7f at Musselburgh and Carlisle; if handling this track then should feature off an untouched mark. |
7/1 |

Verdict
The form of the Ayr race won by Supreme Clarets three weeks ago is working out well and he looks the pick of the 3yos. An improved showing from One Night Thunder could be on the cards but the two to appeal most are Misunderstood and GLENFINNAN (nap). The selection is creeping back up the weights but he is building up a strong record over C&D and his latest success was achieved with some authority.[Paul Smith]
