2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (from a similar mark, beat Criminal Shore) last October; runner-up to well-treated rival over C&D (9-1) penultimate start; reluctant to load, fluffing his chance with a slow start at Redcar (1m; last of 14) latest; possible if back on song. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted duck eggs at York the last twice but this is a drop back in class and he's on last winning mark; however, still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and his losing run is mounting up. |
12/1 |

11th 9 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts. |
40/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Eight of his nine wins have been on the AW, including a hat-trick in February last year; pulled too hard when well beaten last time but had run two sound races ar Redcar prior to that (1m2f, good to firm); worth considering from his inside draw. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered. |
7/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January, and back to form when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should be thereabouts. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when keeping-on second of five here (1m good to firm) last month but his subsequent AW run was underwhelming and he's now 0-13; yet to convince stamina-wise over 1m2f; not the percentage call. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

12-race maiden but he ran well with a tongue-tie added when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he could go well again off the same mark. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Her tremendous progress was highlighted by a close sixth in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot (good to firm, probably acts on soft) but her hopes were ended by some interference in C&D Listed race won by Redorange next time; her finding a bit more even now can't be ruled out but this bar is high. |
50/1 |

12th 10 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Began her career in handicaps with a BHA mark of 60 and has improved in leaps and bounds since; seemed to excel herself when never-nearer sixth of 26 in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm; 40-1) last month; had run creditably over C&D the time before; big chance if repeating Ascot form. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in June but he has failed to reproduce it in three turf outings since and came in last of 11 at Haydock (7f) eight days ago; others are much preferred. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Won on turf last April and snapped long losing run at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; however, well beaten back on turf on his last two starts and he needs to turn things around. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Down the weights since some ordinary 7f runs in the middle months of 2025 and looked as if he might take advantage shortly when a close second at Thirsk (1m, good) in April following a break; however, he hasn't run to the same level since and needs a revival returned to 7f. |
9/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good second at Thirsk on his seasonal return last month; sent off favourite at Ayr on the strength of it but could only manage sixth of the seven runners behind Starliner (Donna Nook second); cheekpieces return. |
