17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |
10/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a couple of C&D wins on his record; not found his best form this year and he has too much to prove for comfort, for all he is tumbling down the weights. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Successful off 1lb higher at Carlisle in May; went close at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) nine days ago; shouldn't be too far away with a repeat. |

2nd 5 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed sort; 2lb lower than when winning at Carlisle in March (5f, good) but wasn't at his best at Ayr last time. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has made the frame plenty of times since AW maiden win, close third at Thirsk most recently; 0-16 in handicaps but holds a fighting chance off unaltered mark, which is 12lb lower than opening one. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

On a very long losing run and he came in last of eight in 5f Ripon handicap 19 days ago; others are preferred. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Back to form with a bang when winning a C&D handicap 26 days ago; that was a lowly Class 6 event though and a 7lb rise against deeper opposition looks beyond her. |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (6f/7f); not at her best in three runs this year but dropping down the weights and this is an ease in grade; has run well over C&D before but she may need more of a test. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently off a 15lb higher mark last August; has mostly struggled since but she was sparked up by first-time blinkers when beaten a neck at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; has to be respected off the same mark. |
5/2 |

2nd 1 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, including over C&D last summer, who's regressed sharply in recent times; a few years since she ran at this low a level and that should help, but it will largely hinge on how she responds to wearing headgear for the first time. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Far from consistent this season but got up in the final strides over C&D (good to firm; off 1lb higher) in May; possibilities provided he's back in similar form and the race again pans out favourably. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well handicapped on old form, but has shown little in two starts since returning from a long absence in May; just 1-36 on turf and hard to fancy. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair and consistent for Ray Craggs in 2024; off 20 months before coming in last of nine, on sole outing for David Thompson, over 6f here last month; has rejoined his former yard with lots to find. |
25/1 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 Muker, 11/10 Harb, 6/1 Speeding Bullet, 6/1 Dc Cogent, 11/2 Too Much, 16/1 Hurt You Never, 16/1 Dandy Dinmont, 33/1 Khabib
Verdict
Harb, Dc Cogent and Too Much (second choice) all come right into the reckoning but this drop into Class 6 company can see SPEEDING BULLET return to form. He had some strong form last year and a revival looks imminent.[Paul Smith]
