2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
11st 0lb |
In terrific form of late, winning 2m3f Market Rasen handicap hurdle in May (good) and returned from a short break when strong-finishing neck second (clear of remainder) of 19 in 2m1f flat handicap here on Wednesday; clearly handles the track, should go well. |
4/1 |

9st 7lb |
Three flat wins for various trainers in Britain and off the mark over hurdles for current trainer in 2m3f Market Rasen maiden in late May (good); had earlier not looked a straightforward ride on occasions; has had a break since. |

9st 8lb |
2m AW winner; gained a first turf success in a desperately tight finish over 1m7f at Leopardstown last month; has retained his mark; should be competitive again. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |

2nd 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent sort who was a soundly beaten third at Musselburgh recently; however, he won at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June and ran well in third over this C&D (good to firm) in July; acts on any ground and might not be far away if he's on a going day. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won this in 2024 and posted his first win of this year at Carlisle (1m6f, good) in June; soundly beaten on his last two starts but this four-time course winner could bounce back returned to Musselburgh. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all twice last season, latterly in good style over 1m6f here (heavy) in September; just 1lb higher today after lesser shows this term but the latest was a step back in the right direction and he stays 2m; case can be made. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in a big field here (2m) last July and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and needs to turn things around. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 1m4f here, the latest off 4lb higher last August (good) when with Dianne Sayer; tailed off over 1m5f here last time (slowly away); takes a significant drop in trip; cheekpieces tried. |
33/1 |

5th 2 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won over a slightly shorter trip here fpr Dianne Sayer a year ago but has not been firing on all cylinders this season; managed only fourth of six here (2m, good) on last week's stable debut; needs to up his game. |
20/1 |
