19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; made all at Southwell (1m) in April; some fair runs in defeat since but he could face competition for the lead and others are more appealing for win purposes. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 7f form in Ireland but that was two years ago and his course win came over 1m in April (made all) on second start for this yard; no advance on that form in two runs since but perhaps the return to this trip will improve his options. |

Twice well beaten off this mark since winning narrowly at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; can blow the start; blinkers return, but risky. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June but scuppered his chance (not for first time) with a very slow start when beating one at Wolverhampton (8.5f) since. |

Gained his second win on turf when landing a Doncaster handicap under Elle-May Croot 12 days ago, bouncing back from a lesser effort; can't be dismissed off this 4lb higher mark. |

Went up 5lb for winning a match over C&D (soft) last month and was well held off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) last time; others look better treated. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner (6f/7f), including when coming out on top in a match race under Joe Bradnam at Yarmouth (7f, soft) two weeks ago; has form on the AW over 1m but a 5lb rise for that latest success demands a bit more. |

A dual 1m/1m2f winner in 2025; largely below par this season though and only ninth of 12 in 1m Newcastle handicap last time; others appeal more. |

Dual winner (including here) in 2025 but his more recent turf form is much less encouraging; needs to bounce back returned to Tapeta. |

Prominent in the betting for her debut at Haydock last August (7f, good to firm) but looked in need of the experience, beaten 5l into sixth; bred to do much better in time. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Left Clive Cox after beginning this campaign with two poor runs (1m/7f), and there has been no upturn after two starts for new stable (6f/7f); drops to 5f with huge amount to prove. |
50/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Started out by recording useful form on first three starts for Clive Cox but the wheels came off subsequently; 150-1 for his stable debut when weakening to be beaten 15l over 6f here last Friday; big transformation required just eight days on but slipping mark makes him worth a market check. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran respectably, albeit without being able to justify favouritism, at Chepstow latest start and is back on last winning mark; however, he's a quirky sort who comes with some risk; steps back up in class. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW; didn't look straightforward without usual hood or tongue-tie (back on here) when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; two things in his favour here are that he is the only distance winner in the field and this represents a drop in grade, so he needs to be considered seriously. |

Has had more AW than turf success; has gained both wins in this sphere at Nottingham (8.5f on good/good to soft); only midfield when returned to grass last time; others have stronger claims. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointed on his reappearance in June but he's been running well in three starts since the visor was applied, most recently finishing third of 11 in a 0-75 at Haydock (7f, good) 13 days ago; drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
He's run pretty well in this visor on his last two starts, last time 3l second of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); however, he's back up into a 0-75 here and has won just one of his last 29 races; may again be vulnerable. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
She has not been beaten far in two handicaps at around 1m this spring, keeping on for a 2l fifth at Southwell three weeks ago; still has some potential and stepping up to 1m2f could unlock it. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Ran okay when 5l fourth of five in C&D novice last September and it was her first run since when beaten only about 3l in sixth of ten on handicap debut at Beverley (8.4f, turf) a fortnight ago; her pedigree provides optimism that she'll have more to offer and she could be a contender. |

Pretty consistent since the cheekpieces returned in November and the three wins in that period include 11-runner race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last time; back up another 2lb and has to be considered. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six wins from 37 starts, the most recent success coming at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; ran respectably here on the AW 19 days ago, taking his form figures since the visor was applied to 314, but he's 0-7 on turf. |
13/2 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Aided by new visor on his two starts this year, latterly when exploiting a much reduced mark at Southwell (1m) last month; that form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this C&D also suits; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 Avatar Jet, 7/1 Volto Di Medusa, 16/1 Relevant Range, 16/1 Rusheen Boy, 8/1 Portman Blue, 5/1 Izzari, 16/1 Peaceful Spirit, 33/1 Aspull, 5/1 Just Typical, 20/1 Soames Forsyte, 7/1 Bajan Bandit, 16/1 Special Breeze, 6/1 Aim For The Bull, 25/1 Mr Fustic
Verdict
Having come 10lb down the weights this season, dual Tapeta winner IZZARI showed much more when well supported on turf last time and should get this run to suit in a big field. Bajan Bandit also arrives on a fair mark and is second choice, ahead of Aim For The Bull, who returns from a short break.[Graham Wheldon]
