18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he shaped better than his placing suggests in 5f handicaps at Redcar and Lingfield on his first two runs this term; went without headgear when only sixth of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap last time but no surprise to see him play a prominent role here in refitted blinkers. |
7/2 |

6th 2 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C&D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time. |
6/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Scottish raider who has shown great progress, having gone from winning off a mark of 57 early last season to running well in Listed grade a couple of times, including on penultimate start; this is harder. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (14) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Had a wonderful year in 2025, winning six times and rounding off her campaign with a good fifth behind Beautiful Diamond in a Listed event over 5.5f here (soft); down the field on her return but she quickly rebounded with a fine third at Carlisle (Listed; 5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still improving but the forecast rain may suit others better. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent, straightforward 5f specialist who made it 2-2 on turf here under Olivia Haines in July off 5lb lower; another in-form effort off his revised mark since but does have to prove he's as effective on the AW. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Largely consistent 4yo who won readily under Olivia Haines at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race here but ought to give another good account. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D last summer and was a creditable second in a Class 4 at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw but he's 1lb lower than last time and is a big player if he can repeat that form. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive on turf last season; looked set for another productive campaign when third over C&D in April but has disappointingly failed to build on it on turf since; it remains to be seen whether a return to AW sparks a revival. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive last season and she reappeared with a promising third at Kempton (6f) in April; not so good since but she is on a favourable mark again now and dropping back to 5f can help; contender. |
4/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Solid effort in a 6f handicap at Kempton on her reappearance but she has come up short in two runs since (stiff task latest); could prove vulnerable once more. |

9st 11lb |
Beat a big field at Thirsk in May and ran pretty well here next time from stall 9 in a Class 3; backed that up with another competitive show and he got himself too far back at York last time; considered. |
11/2 |
|
7th 6 (13) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He has turned in a string of good runs this year, winning a 17-runner event at Thirsk in May; while he should give his running it would be a surprise if one or two weren't better handicapped. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Running well in defeat this season prior to narrow win in a big field at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; caught wide at Chester (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago when a respectable sixth of 12; could have a big say. |

Best form on soft ground, his only win coming over C&D in October 2024; makes her seasonal debut and would be interesting if the ground eases. |
15/2 |
|
8 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won nursery here last October (6f, soft) on sole previous course visit and he's run some good races in defeat for his new yard this season, including on good ground and when fourth of 13 at Ayr three weeks ago (6f, soft; showed pace); each-way contender now back down in trip. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Set a course record when justifying favouritism by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) on penultimate start; didn't see it out, in a race which has yielded various winners, at Hamilton (6f) three weeks ago; sits close to career-high mark. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won a C&D maiden in 2024; ran well here on his first two starts this year and won a handicap by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) last month; form figures at this track read 14232 and he makes the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer who has run two good races at Hamilton (6f, good and 5f, good to soft) this season; unraced on faster than good but a key player if underfoot conditions are suitable. |

Two front-running 5f wins this summer; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract four weeks ago and this is just the second 6f run of his career; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Is enjoying an excellent season and gained a third success when making all in 5f Beverley handicap two weeks ago; up 3lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Began his campaign with a second and first over C&D in April; his progress has continued, adding a win at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and should go well despite his career-high mark. |

1st 2 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

3rd 3 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Won a 5f handicap off this mark at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; she has run some fair races this year but her latest effort (tried in cheekpieces, usual visor back on today) wasn't one of them; no surprise to see her bounce back quickly. |

8st 13lb |
Won 2yo maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last September and she's dropping down the weights; however, she's struggled on both runs this season and a major turnaround is required in first-time cheekpieces. |
33/1 |
|
12 (14) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four 2yo starts, winning four-runner maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) on her third outing; she's better than she showed on recent reappearance at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) but her claims aren't compelling after that. |
33/1 |
|
9 (8) |
10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |

Successful off this mark at Catterick (5f, good to firm) in June but he hasn't beaten many home in three runs since; has a C&D win to his name but soft ground not sure to suit and others are safer. |

9st 1lb |
0-16 but he's been threatening to put that right in recent starts, fourth at Southwell and runner-up at Carlisle in two runs last month; blinkers now given a go (beaten in cheekpieces and a visor in the past); unraced on soft but he is by Mayson so there can be encouragement he'll handle it. |
