4th 7 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran creditably at Ayr in the latest start of his light 2026 campaign; steps back up in grade but could go well returned to this scenario, having gained his most recent success over C&D (in April). |
12/1 |

Ran moderately on most recent outing 50 days ago but mostly consistent for current yard and any rain would be much welcomed. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
100-1 when fifth of 18 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) last month and his run at Ayr eight days later may have come soon enough; now back off his last winning mark and has shown good form on soft ground; high on list. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Gained his seventh success when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July and ran another solid race there last month off the same mark as today's; respected but he is yet to win off a mark this high. |
7/1 |

4th 7 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 1-20 but she's been generally consistent this season, including two good efforts at Thirsk (7f/1m, good) in May and a fifth of 19 at York (7f, good to soft) last month; ties in with Oolong Poobong on that latest form and she's in the mix off a sliding mark. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with 1m Southwell win and largely in good nick this season, seventh of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; not ruled out from a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Southwell off this mark in November; runner-up off a 4lb lower mark in this race in 2024 but he hasn't threatened in three starts this year; others make more appeal. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Fair bumper winner; got off the mark on his third Flat start in 7f Carlisle novice (soft) in May and not discredited when eighth of 16 in 1m1f York handicap (good) in June; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls on an intended outing at Newcastle in July; today's likely ground should suit. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only six ran when he won over 1m here in August (Class 5) and he has come up short in Class 4 events twice since; others may have his measure back at 7f. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month; only sixth off this mark at Redcar last Saturday but the fact he won this race off 2lb higher last year provides hope; draw could have been kinder. |

9st 10lb |
Narrow win in a 1m handicap at Pontefract (good to soft); only 1lb higher today but two subsequent runs have been well short of his best; rain won't hurt his chance. |
20/1 |

13th 9 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Looked on the up when landing 1m Pontefract handicap in April but failed to build on it when third of five at Nottingham (1m) last month; still low mileage and not written off. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gelded after three ordinary efforts in maidens in the spring; raised his game on handicap debut when a close second at Southwell (1m; tongue-tie added) last month and he built on that when landing the odds in good style at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm); up 7lb but he still looks feasibly treated on that latest form and is open to more progress; major player. |
11/8 |

1st 5 (1) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded after three ordinary efforts in maidens in the spring; solid effort in the first-time tongue-tie off this mark at Southwell last Monday, when a clear second, and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A seven-time C&D scorer; arrives in good nick, posting a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; a likely player again eased 1lb. |
9/2 |

3rd 9 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prolific winning veteran, including in this race in 2021 and 2022 (fourth to Capital Guarantee last year); went close to another C&D success last month and fair third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) since. |
