4th 9 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Scored at Lingfield (6f) in January but below par since, only tenth on a rare turf start at Newmarket (6f) ten days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Five of his six wins have been on AW and latest was on Polytrack at Lingfield (6f) in January; 4lb lower here but he's struggled at Wolverhampton in last three runs and has plenty to prove back on turf. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Displayed improved form in first-time cheekpieces to get off the mark at the eighth attempt at Carlisle (6f, good) last Monday; a 5lb penalty may not stop this 4yo if the headgear maintains its effect. |

9st 5lb |
6f AW winner for Kevin Ryan; second of ten in a 5f classified event at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut 13 days ago; no problem with conditions and he's one to take seriously. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has been beaten on his last 13 starts and hasn't really shone elsewhere on his last two outings; however, this four-time course winner was second in this last year and a respectable fourth over C&D three starts ago; could have a part to play now back here. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The last of his five wins was in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) for Ben Haslam in February; made a solid start for new yard when runner-up there (tongue-tie added) in June and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unplaced elsewhere on final three starts for Ben Haslam but wasn't running badly and three out of his last four wins have come at this venue; on a career-low mark and could play a leading role back here in a first-time tongue-tie on his stable debut. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner; on a long losing run but there have been enough good runs this year to give him an each-way squeak. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been on Tapeta so needs considering after some competitive runs on turf, though not drawn well. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
19-race maiden who failed to beat a rival home in a Beverley handicap (8.5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; drops back in trip and returns to a maiden; passed over. |
100/1 |
|
10th 8 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-18; more realistic assignment today following last week's Ripon novice tilt, but preceding efforts in handicaps fall some way short of the required; work on from out of the weights. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Peak RPR of just 44 in her nine starts; hard to recommend back from a 142-day layoff. |
33/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Fourth in three classifieds over C&D this year, this is a tougher assignment on her handicap debut. |
20/1 |
Betting Forcast
4/1 Em Jay Kay, 5/2 Tomorrow Day, 11/2 Little Beck Annie, 5/1 Uncle Sam, 11/1 Rain Cap, 9/2 Tickets, 8/1 Desert Master, 100/1 Auroras Doublesix, 100/1 Sadiiki
Verdict
There were signs of a revival from Em Jay Kay at Windsor ten days ago and he can go well, while Little Beck Annie, Uncle Sam and Tickets (second choice) also come right into the reckoning. He has an absence to overcome but TOMORROW DAY has conditions to suit and is operating at a low level now so his fitness could be worth chancing.[Paul Smith]
