7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him. |

9st 8lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May and second of five there (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but he was beaten 4l and has finished down the field either side of that penultimate start; others have more pressing claims. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Pontefract (1m) in June but he beat only one in 1m Redcar handicap a week ago; much more is required from this course scorer. |
8/1 |

13th 7 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Clearcut winner in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good) in June and probably bettered that form when very close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month but was below form after racing too freely over C&D three weeks ago and needs to bounce back with a career best. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 4yo who scored over C&D (good to soft) in June before making it five wins in his last seven starts when overcoming interference to shade a close finish at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; he and the second were clear of the rest on Town Moor so a 4lb rise may not stop him. |

15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1-3 on turf when trained in France, with the win coming at Compiegne over 1m4f last May, but she's been tailed off in two starts for this stable (1m6f/2m); down in trip with a major revival needed in first-time blinkers. |
50/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth foal; half-sister to French winners Rosmana (1m/1m1f; RPR 90) and Royad (1m4f AW; 83); dam French 10.5f winner (96), half-sister to useful 1m4f/12.5f winner Rosvana, out of French 1m 2yo Group 1 winner; three runs in France this April-June, winning a 1m4f maiden at Compiegne and a close third over 1m6f there on final start; sold for 45,000euros in July; this could be a good mark for handicap/British debut. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winless since 2024 but in good form this season until last of six (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Epsom handicap 16 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with and this course scorer is the sort to bounce back. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Without a win since 2024 but earns good marks for his consistency in recent months and lost out only by a head off today's mark at Ripon (1m2f, good) in June; probably won't be far away. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed after only six runs but has struggled on both starts for new stable this season (1m1f/7f); big leap of faith required to support him. |
66/1 |

14th 4 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Odds-on 1m winner (good) at Windsor last September when with Ralph Beckett; has gone backwards in all three starts since, latest on debut for new yard; tongue-tie now tried; plenty to prove at present. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Navan (1m2f, good) last April when trained by Joseph O'Brien; ran his best race since joining current stable when second of five at Carlisle (1m3f, good; first-time visor) last month but his task will now be to back that up. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won a Navan handicap for Joseph O'Brien last spring but suffered a succession of fairly hefty defeats on the Flat and over hurdles for this yard, including when beaten nearly 20l over C&D last month when back from a nine-week break; visor given a whirl. |

Betting Forcast
11/2 Shimmering Sands, 10/1 Mao Shang Wong, 5/1 Amidst The Chaos, 7/2 Mwafaq, 50/1 Rodoya, 7/1 Qitaal, 66/1 Livonian, 7/2 Junkyard Dog, 5/1 Finlaggan
Verdict
The application of a visor has sparked up JUNKYARD DOG and he can follow up his Southwell success off this 3lb higher mark, while Mwafaq (second choice) did well in the circumstances over 1m2f at Lingfield and has good claims if seeing it out on this stiffer track. Amidst The Chaos may have a bit more to offer over this trip and is next on the list. [Harry March]
