17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Often slowly away but not so when gaining a first success of 2026 in seven-runner handicap over C&D 18 days ago; up 3lb but still not out of things. |

1st 7 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time winner; has come up well short in big fields at York a couple of times of late; otherwise a consistent sort and has frame possibilities off current mark in this scenario. |
13/2 |

9th 11 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won four races from 1m-1m2f last season, including two on fast ground; well beaten over 1m4f here in May, but bounced back with a sound fourth at Carlisle last time (1m, good to firm); on a fair mark now. |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |
40/1 |

11 (2) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |
25/1 |

12th 12 (11) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

All his three wins were over 1m2f at Newcastle last October-December, easily on last occasion, but his creditable third there on latest outing suggests that the handicapper has caught up. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Won three over C&D (Class 5) between October and December, rising 20lb in the weights; reportedly "ran flat" when only fifth of six (beaten over 12l) over C&D (Class 3) on New Year's Day; given a short break since, and this is marginally easier (a Class 4); chance. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and was a solid second over C&D in March; blew the start but ran respectably when fourth on turf at Chester a fortnight ago and he's handicapped to be competitive again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes. |
14/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Kept busy in 2026 and running well without winning, in the frame for the sixth time with third of nine in 1m2f Haydock handicap 19 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D and gave good account when staying-on third over C&D (good) a week ago; still on the same workable mark and has another big role to play. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D; disappointing favourite when well-held third of six at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) 11 days ago but won over 1m3f there a week earlier and has claims if judged on that form. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
8yo who won here (1m3f, good) last Wednesday on his second start back from a break; he'll be fine back up in trip and Kayleigh Williams made a dream start to her riding career when winning on a stablemate this month; strong claims under a 4lb penalty. |

10st 2lb |
Runner-up three consecutive times in recent weeks, perhaps most notably when losing out only by a head in higher-grade company at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) two starts ago; also suited by this C&D; likely contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained her sole success at Ayr (1m5f) last July and she's back in very good form, a strong-travelling second of ten in 1m3f Carlisle handicap 13 days ago; a likely player nudged up 1lb. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 9 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Not the best of strike-rates but two sound runs this season, latest when runner-up over C&D 11 days (good); could go well but not particularly consistent; softer ground no problem. |

9st 12lb |
Ran well at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month; not so good in either run since, the latest over C&D two weeks ago; not ruled out but not the most solid option either. |
10/1 |

9th 3 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Belatedly came good with two 1m1f wins last summer and looked back in prime form when close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but his latest run was slightly disappointing and others in the field have more persuasive profiles. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gradually went the wrong way for previous yard after making a successful debut and was comfortably held on stable debut at Bath (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) this month; little to suggest this big step up in trip will make a difference. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last April; fourth in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September but yet to make much of an impact in handicaps, so he can't be the percentage call on this first start since leaving Craig Lidster; tongue tied first time. |
12/1 |
|
20th 8 (18) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f) last April; yet to make much of an impact in handicaps but he has dropped down the weights and he ran a solid race over C&D in the Leger Legends race last September; goes well after a break and he has a top amateur booked; interesting. |

Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |

1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

5th 3 (1) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |

In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |

First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |
