19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Raced freely but built on his reappearance effort when winning at Salisbury (1m4f, good) 27 days ago, posting a career best; unexposed over 1m4f and he's considered off this 4lb higher mark. |
100/30 |

1st 8 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He had been knocking on the door prior to his 10.4f win at Haydock last summer; not so good since but he should be sharper with his reappearance behind him and he is only 2lb higher than for the win; unexposed at 1m4f and respected back on turf. |

Haydock winner (10.5f, good) last August and ended the campaign with a fine third of 14 over this C&D; off 222 days since, but he ran well on his reappearance last year; shortlisted. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has gained all of his three wins on the AW but is knocking on the door for his first turf win; placed on his last two runs, latest when runner-up at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month; claims. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been on the AW but has been placed on turf on three occasions, including when running on for third at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; makes appeal. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner who has rather stagnated in that sphere in 2026; record of 0-8 on turf but he was placed off higher marks in last two attempts; each-way possibilities, provided he's back in similar form. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won two 1m2f turf handicaps in May and has held his form pretty well since; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f three weeks ago; not favoured by the weights but likely to give another good account. |
11/2 |
|
5th 11 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf in May (1m2f) and in the main has run pretty well in defeat subsequently; also effective on Tapeta; goes into the unknown stamina-wise today but could be thereabouts if seeing out the trip. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has held his form since two wins at 1m2f (good to firm and good to soft) in May; perhaps got competitive too far out last time at Salisbury but he doesn't look ahead of his mark. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
12-race maiden; creditable third to a pair of subsequent winners at Carlisle last time (1m1f, good); conditions suit; should go well. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |
11/2 |

6th 12 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden; bits of form last summer that bring him into the reckoning and he kicks off his 4yo campaign with a tongue tie fitted; betting useful back from 236 days off. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
14-race maiden; latest of his three seconds was in April 2025 and he's not made a serious impact since; off since January and hard to fancy. |
40/1 |
|
9 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win but he has finished second in three of his nine starts; quiet more recently and he still has to prove he wants this far, especially on a slow surface. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting. |
8/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles at start of this year (2m/2m4f) and returned from break with Flat win this month (1m4f; RPR 69); seems versatile regarding ground and ought to be a tough nut to crack. |
11/8 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 1m6f Flat winner who has finished runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles (2m/2m4f) in his last two runs; returns after four months off but he's only 1lb higher than for his last win and it would be a positive if the forecast rain arrives; needs a close look back on the Flat. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Twice runner-up in 1m handicaps but he's inconsistent and has stamina to prove over this far; blinkers, in which he's finished second and seventh, now return. |
20/1 |

7th 9 (4) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
3yo maiden; inconsistent (2727) since handicapping; not sure what to expect and he's taking on some recent winners. |
14/1 |

7th 12 (11) |
7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in first-time blinkers on nursery debut last September (1m, good), then flopped on soft ground; back on song with good second in first-time cheekpieces on reappearance at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and this 3yo is a contender if the headgear maintains its positive effect. |

Brother to Group 1 winner Snow Lantern but failed to raise his modest profile on handicap debut over this far (17-2); too much to prove. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Brother to Group 1 winner Snow Lantern/half-brother to the yard's useful Midnight Gun; yet to be involved in a finish (1m) and absent since poor turf debut in the spring; interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
12/1 |
