30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained back-to-back wins at Carlisle (7.7f, good to firm) in May/June, but a rise in grade has caught him out in his last two starts; back in quieter waters, but the likely ground conditions may not play to his strengths. |
20/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Front-running tactics backfired at the Newmarket July festival last time when bidding for a 1m hat-trick after Class 4 wins at Carlisle; remains on career-high mark and is upped further in grade, so needs to resume his improvement. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made just about all for his two wins at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in the spring, but was raised 10lb for his 7l romp there last time and may face competition for the lead on this return from three months off. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Unexposed 3yo who began this season with comfortable wins in Thirsk maiden (7f, good to soft) and Chester novice (7.6f, good); tackles stronger opposition on this handicap debut but needs to be taken very seriously. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win an uncompetitive seller at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; two creditable efforts have followed without suggesting he's going to be the answer this time. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won on debut for Joseph O'Brien; his only effort of note in six starts for current yard (two here) was last month's selling win at Beverley (extended 1m) when odds-on in beating two rivals (in this first-time headgear); back in a handicap last time and was found wanting, albeit over 1m2f; others preferred. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Took nine attempts to get off the mark but now bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Chester (7.5f; soft/good); up another 5lb but still one for the shortlist now that something has clearly clicked. |
6/1 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
3yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt when swooping late for a last-gasp win over C&D (soft) last month; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and this return to quicker ground is no problem; respected. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick on final three starts last term, the first in a 7f seller here (good), the last two in handicaps on heavy ground; mainly in good form this season and could go well on return from a break. |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Had been running well before a below par effort at the Curragh last time over an inadequate 5f; runner up over C&D last year off 8lb higher; could bounce back. |
15/2 |

11th 8 (15) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Solid form in four runs on turf since an unproductive spell on AW; needs to find extra on the evidence of last Saturday's third at Limerick; previous third at this venue was over 7f. |
