15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prolific winning veteran, including in this race in 2021 and 2022 (fourth to Capital Guarantee last year); went close to another C&D success last month and fair third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) since. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A half-length too good for Jesmond Dawn at Ripon in early June when only 1lb lower; hasn't been overly threatening in her last three races. |
14/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off 2lb lower at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June; has had just two runs this season but she's run creditably in a handicap and a seller at Beverley; now drops back in trip but has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but she's won twice on turf this season including an apprentice handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last Wednesday; 0-7 on AW but she has form over C&D and is a big player off the same mark as last time (due to be 2lb higher in future). |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent over this C&D in May off a 3lb lower mark; ran well at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in July but needs to bounce back from a poor run at York (1m) four days ago. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual Carlisle winner who's recorded his best efforts on turf; showed the right attitude off 2lb lower last time but will need to at least match that form in this competitive handicap. |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three runs in course handicaps feature a win (soft) last June and two seconds (1m1f/1m), latterly when claimed late by Hostility on good ground 19 days ago; solid. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark when winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but she disappointed having failed to settle at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) next time; bounced back with a good effort at Beverley (7.5f) two weeks ago and makes the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good run of form in May and June once hooded, finishing runner-up in two 7f handicaps before getting off the mark at Wetherby (1m, good to firm); ran out of steam after failing to settle at Nottingham (about 1m) 12 days ago but this test, in a less competitive race, should suit better. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Five-race maiden who has failed to progress in two handicaps this season; perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a bigger effort is likely. |
14/1 |
|
9th 6 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Looked rusty on her seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley ten days ago (8.4f, good to firm; 40-1); kept on well enough to think this mark was in range; not yet exposed. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Capable of better than he's shown on his last two starts at York, unsuccessfully tried over 1m then visored (left off today) in a higher grade; has possibilities on his close second to Circle Of Trust over C&D (soft) in June, albeit the latter pulled out extra when challenged; not ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped well when runner-up on three successive starts (6f/7f, good to soft/soft) but never better than midfield when faced with a firmer surface over 1m here 15 days ago; quickly drops back in trip with a visor also added. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has a patchy profile but she returned to form with a win at Haydock (1m, good to soft) in May and backed that up with a good second at Ripon (1m, good) the following month; now goes back up in grade but she's respected off same mark as last time. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (5) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Proved suited by the step up to 1m at Haydock (good to soft) last time, recording a first win since joining her current yard and belatedly doubling her tally; unexposed at this trip; shortlisted. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No progress in four runs for Jessica Harrington and was only fourth of five on her stable debut at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) last month; dropped another 2lb but she needs to raise her game on this switch to AW. |
20/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Encouraging debut for Jessica Harrington at Punchestown (1m, good to yielding) last September; however, her form went the wrong way across her next three starts and she was sold for 2,200gns last month; needs to turn things around on her stable debut. |

Patchy form in three qualifying runs for Adrian Keatley last year and he was beaten a long way when last of 11 on his reappearance and handicap/stable debut at Haydock (6f; hooded) in April; goes up a furlong for his first bash at AW. |

8st 8lb |
Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field at Doncaster (7f, good); his winning run was ended back at Doncaster but ran with credit again in fourth. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field over this C&D (good); clearly progressive and a 4lb rise for last time may not stop her. |

9st 7lb |
Off the mark when making all at Ripon (1m, good) in May and followed up at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) next time; faded into eighth of 11 at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago but may get an easier time of things in front this time. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

In good form, winning at Ripon (1m, good) and Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) before a decent third off this mark (10lb higher than second win) back at Beverley last time (8.5f, good to firm); should go well. |
6/1 |
Betting Forcast
9/2 Garden Oasis, 7/2 Donna Nook, 7/1 Catton Lady, 9/1 Kiss Me My Love, 12/1 Bellasio, 16/1 Thornaby Annie, 14/1 Hopeful Joy, 8/1 Milford Grange, 10/1 Paroda Diva, 33/1 Zermatt Star, 33/1 GEmmethegreenlite, 10/1 Gunalt Wavelength, 10/1 Penny Ghent
Verdict
This is wide open. C&D scorer DONNA NOOK arrives in excellent nick and wasn’t best drawn when third at Thirsk last time so is taken to resume winning ways off a 1lb lower mark. Veteran course specialist Garden Oasis (second choice) seems sure to go well again, while Michael and David Easterby come here very well represented and Gunalt Wavelength, Milford Grange and Catton Lady all need considering.[Peter Entwistle]
