10th 2 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition. |
4/1 |

1st 7 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resurgent 7yo who completed a 7f Carlisle double on Monday and has now won five times this year; has 4lb penalty to carry but he won't mind if the ground eases; commands respect in current mood. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |
15/8 |
|
1st 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a comfortable success at Redcar nine days ago (6f, good; first win on ground without soft in the description); that win came in new blinkers which aren't guaranteed to have the same effect a second time; only 3lb higher today, though, so she has obvious claims if in the same form. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Currently 2-4 over C&D (also finished fourth in this last year off 4lb lower); a disappointing effort last time will need forgiving but the return here will help, this time with 7lb being taken off by Jake Dickson. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored three times off lower marks in May-July last term (ended up with a peak mark 7lb higher than current one); generally consistent since, running-on third at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

13th 1 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in two big-field 6f Thirsk handicaps (both on good) this season and did well to finish fifth at Redcar in between, having lost significant ground at the start; still on workable mark; probably in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win from his 22 starts and merely mid-division at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last time in first-time blinkers (retained); however, he's twice finished runner-up this season and is not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 21 attempts but he has finished second in two of his three runs this year and is still on a workable mark; new blinkers could spark something extra (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces) and he's more appealing than many. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Completed a Wolverhampton hat-trick around this time last year and returned to form with a close fourth there 16 days ago despite a slow start and hitting some traffic; has won twice here so needs considering. |
16/1 |

11th 13 (2) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Showed promise in his first three starts for Hugo Palmer last autumn but hasn't gone on in handicaps, including on Tapeta; makes his stable debut having been picked up for 2,600gns last month; plenty to prove. |
20/1 |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Remains winless and he was tried in blinkers when beating only one in 1m Hamilton handicap 19 days ago; reverts in trip here with plenty to prove. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Did well for Harriet Bethell last season and his two runs this year have been encouraging, second of 13 to an unexposed one at Thirsk three weeks ago; mark left unchanged; big player. |
3/1 |

2nd 10 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
The winner of four of his eight starts last year (6f, good or slower); perhaps needed the run on his return to action at Newcastle last month, running respectably in the smaller stands' side group; the more rain to fall the better for him. |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

0-10 and came in a below-form seventh of 12 in 7f Chepstow handicap 17 days ago; he's very hard to make a case for. |
