22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to fire this season but landed his third win here when successful in this race last year (good to firm) off 4lb higher; he has also been placed twice at this track and can never be written off around here. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; now 1lb lower than for last August's win at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) but his two York efforts this summer have been underwhelming. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was in April 2024 but he hasn't been with John Butler for long and he showed signs of a revival when fourth at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month; has claims if he can build on that and he should be fine back at this trip. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
A useful 1m winner at his best for Jack Channon; offered little in two runs for Brian Toomey this spring though and came in last of 14 for John Butler in 7f handicap here four weeks ago; no surprise if he took a step forward though with new yard among the winners. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been over C&D and latest was in March; record of 0-9 on turf but he returned to form with a close second in a big field at York last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he should get a decent tow into this race; respected. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins on the AW but he's just as effective on turf; needs to bounce back from a poor run at Newmarket's July meeting but he's down sharply in grade here and his form from the spring has a solid look to it. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent dual winner who coped well with the rise in class when pushing a well-handicapped winner all the way at Ayr six days ago (1m, good; goes on all surfaces); not ideally drawn out in 15 but plenty to like otherwise. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Likeably consistent dual winner who won't mind what the weather does, with recent seconds at about 1m coming on soft and good to firm; pretty solid, other than this is a step up in class. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Comfortable win on her debut at Beverley (7.5f, soft) last September and second of eight in a Newbury Listed race (7f, soft) the following month; disappointed under a penalty on her reappearance at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in May and now makes her handicap debut having been off again since; will appreciate any rain that falls. |
16/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortable win on debut at Beverley (7.4f, soft) last September and runner-up in Listed race at Newbury (7f, soft) the following month; leading claims if transferring that form to today's better ground on her reappearance. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when winning over C&D (good) last month but he was well held back here (fifth of seven) 13 days ago; finished behind some of today's rivals in that race and he needs to step up again after that. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces (added to tongue-tie) when edging ahead late on over C&D (good) four weeks ago; not the most convincing (carries head awkwardly under pressure) but he's only been nudged up 2lb. |

9st 7lb |
Dual AW winner (7f/6f) who kept on for respectable third of six here (7f, good to firm) this month; needs to find something extra today but his pedigree and running style suggest he's well worth a go over 1m. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Leicester maiden (6f, soft) last October but he was gelded after a disappointing comeback at Newbury in April; ran into some trouble when a respectable fourth at Sandown in June but he failed to build on that at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; still unexposed after only six starts but he needs improvement at this new trip. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won Leicester maiden last term but he was gelded after a disappointing comeback at Newbury in April; latest fourth at Sandown (7f, good) offered a good bit more, though, when he still looked a little rough around the edges and also shaped like this step up in trip is the way to go; respected. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Prominent racer who finished held in fifth of nine over C&D (good to firm) six weeks ago when last seen; however, she's won twice this season (1m/8.3f, good) and split two progressive fellow 3yos when second at Chester (10.3f, good) two starts ago; not discounted at likely big odds. |
