22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Led close home to win this race a year ago (good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet with another narrow success at Musselburgh (5f, good) a fortnight ago; likely contender. |

Won three times last season, all over 5f on good/good to firm; yet to score this term, but creditable third at Thirsk last week (5f, good); a possible. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Has made a good start for Ruth Carr and emerged from midfield to edge home over C&D a month ago; on that run and past exploits, he remains on a useful mark up 4lb. |

Two good runs since joining Ruth Carr, fourth of 12 at Newcastle in March and third of 17 at Musselburgh three weeks ago; up in class but should give it another good go. |

Absent since running respectably when favourite for AW contest in January; on a two-year losing spell but is attractively treated off his lower mark back on turf; further market support should be noted. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time sprint winner who is ideally suited by good or slower ground; finished down the field in last two starts, but he ran well at Redcar in May and is now back on the same mark as when landing the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; needs a close look back from a short break. |
11/2 |

5th 2 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Not at best last time but is normally consistent and may rebound; gained most recent success in last year's Ayr Bronze Cup (by a neck off 2lb lower) and is 1-1 at Doncaster. |

Promise as a 2yo and his seasonal return at Thirsk was encouraging too; not at his best at Musselburgh 15 days ago but he is edging down the weights. |

6th 4 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Won a four-runner C&D maiden at 1-6 last July; fair efforts both starts this season; no surprise if he were to run well. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came on the AW at Southwell in April, but she was unlucky not to press the progressive Naana's Shadow even closer in the 3yo dash at Epsom (5f, good); hasn't matched that level in three starts since but drops in grade and a strong pace would suit this headstrong filly. |
12/1 |
|
13th 19 (6) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Highly capable on her day, as when going close in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) in June; a case can be made on that form but this headstrong filly has been well beaten on both starts since and has something to prove. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage now but he showed he's still got some ammunition left when a 40-1 winner of 17-runner Doncaster handicap (5f, good to soft) on his March reappearance; only eighth of 11 at Carlisle on his sole subsequent start, however, and he'll need to prove that win wasn't his last hurrah. |
20/1 |

8th 9 (9) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran; all 12 wins have been over 5f and is ideally suited by plenty of give in the ground; hasn't been out since Doncaster win in March (5f, good to soft); has plenty in his favour and should go well again. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded the 19th win of his career when scoring at Beverley in May; recent efforts need bettering if he is to take this though. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Grand servant to connections and he was recording the 19th win of his long career when successful at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; four subsequent defeats have seen him slip to a mark 2lb lower than for that win; has won over C&D but likely vulnerable to younger rivals. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and bounced back from lesser effort when close second at Newmarket (5f, good) last week; remains on a workable mark and the forecast rain won't faze him; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed when dropped back to 5f in June and absent for ten weeks since but was commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and is now 1lb lower; player if back on song. |

Well handicapped and loves slow ground; in better form than his formfigures suggest but the worry is his tendency to blow the start. |

6th 3 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

1lb below his last winning mark but usually misses the break and has finished out of the frame in all five starts this year; rain would help. |
