17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Made all twice in a row this spring (including over C&D on good to firm) and bounced back from his third of six at Yarmouth for another front-running win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last Monday; had plenty in hand last time and he's 5lb well in under a 5lb penalty; could prove tough to catch. |
6/5 |

1st 3 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on the AW but off a much lower mark and all his best efforts have come on turf, including two wins in the spring; looked like the handicapper may have caught up again when third to Michaela's Boy last time and he's drawn wide today. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner; chasing a hat-trick after wins at Bath (5f, firm) and Hamilton (5f, good to firm); a 6lb rise asks more of him but dangerous to discount. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He has no problem with soft ground but hasn't scored since last May and there were diminishing returns in four starts for this yard earlier in the year; career-low mark, however, and maybe a 147-day break will have chalked his cue; watch the market. |
20/1 |

8th 4 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (12) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form. |
16/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Short-headed by Copper Knight at Chester (5f, soft) last month and close fourth of eight there (5.5f, good) since but well beaten in May on sole previous visit here and down the field at Yarmouth on Thursday. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (11) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Only handicap win was off this mark last season (5f, good to firm); close up in Chester sprints the last twice, the penultimate one on soft ground; has each-way claims. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner in 2024; finished down the field in the Silver Cup at Ripon (6f, good) 11 days ago but he ran well at Thirsk (5f, good) the time before and should be happier back at 5f; others preferred, however. |
16/1 |
|
15th 17 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
5f win here off 2lb higher in May; quiet afterwards until reviving with a second of six at Thirsk last week; has a C&D win on his record but rarely seen over 6f in recent times. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Recorded his fifth turf win when scoring at Ripon (5f, good) in May but he's struggled since and has failed to beat a rival in his last three starts; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made all and prevailed narrowly over C&D last time, opening his AW account at the 14th attempt; back up 3lb but has defied higher marks on turf; likely to remain competitive. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
3-37 with two of his wins coming at Chester; one of his better efforts since joining this yard when beaten just over 2l into fourth of ten over C&D a fortnight ago; worth considering from 7lb below his last winning mark. |
11/2 |

4th 9 (9) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Step back in right direction when close fourth over 5f here but then trailed home last at Epsom; 3-36 overall and probably not the percentage call. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Made all off 1lb lower at Chester (6f, good) in May and wasn't beaten far on any of four subsequent starts there, the latest over 5f from a tough draw; may not be seen to quite the same effect on this straight track, though. |
11/2 |

9th 2 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
All six wins have been here and at Wolverhampton, including this race 12 months ago when 6lb lower; close fourth here last time when drawn wide but in a smaller field than today and now he's out in stall 12; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

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. |
20/1 |

10th 8 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable veteran who had a wicked draw in a C&D handicap last month that he'd won three times before; better boxed this time and there was much to like about his previous effort at Thirsk; considered. |

C&D winner as a 3yo who'll appreciate any rain; starts the season on a handy mark but will need to be right on his game after seven months off. |
