2nd 6 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has remained in form since breaking his duck at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, albeit he didn't find much back at 7f on Newcastle AW recently; likely to give his running but others may have more scope off their current marks. |
4/1 |

5th 13 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a nose by stablemate Surgeon Commander over C&D in January; won off a 4lb lower mark at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, and on the premises twice since, backing out of contention only late on at Carlisle (fourth) ten days ago; task isn't impossible. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Came good at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, his 11th start, and had awkward draw on the wing when fourth off new mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; remains very much of interest. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Speedy 3yo who made all at Catterick (6f, good) in May; raced alone against the far rail when sixth of 12 at Newcastle (5f, AW) in June and shaped when fourth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago as though the return to 5f would be well worth a go; could make a bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who gained his third win when holding on to land a Catterick handicap over 6f in May; ran well at Doncaster (6f, good) next time and it looks worth forgiving last month's Newcastle effort (5f, AW), having raced alone towards the far rail; could go well. |
3/1 |
|
6th 11 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Headgear and a switch to minor handicaps have seen good progress since November, including scoring twice over 6f here; won again at Catterick (6f, good; made all) last month and good third of 14 at Doncaster (6f again) since; while best form has been at 6f, the speed he's shown in recent starts suggests he should be equally effective at 5f; likely to go well. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Below par on her last two starts but she was in good form in May and is only 2lb higher than for her Bath win (5.7f, good); revival may be predicted by the betting. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Bath (5.7f, good) in May on just her second handicap run; solid fourth at Redcar next time and she wasn't well drawn when sixth at Lingfield; latest Bath run harder to forgive but this is weak and cheekpieces could give her a lift. |
9/1 |

11th 6 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Built upon encouraging seasonal/handicap debut when beating Rogue Rebellion by a neck over C&D (good) last month; both subsequent 6f runs were perfectly respectable and the return to this track will suit; respected. |

Sole attempt at Ripon resulted in her account-opening success (1m handicap) in June; broadly consistent otherwise this year; steps up a bit further in distance; warrants respect returned to this venue. |
4/1 |

Ran some good races in the spring prior to getting off the mark at the 12th attempt at Ripon (1m, good) in June and close fourth of 13 in Thirsk classified (1m, good to firm) since, when caught wide; in with a chance. |

0-10 but was only beaten a neck in a 0-60 handicap over 6f here when last on the AW in March; has been placed over C&D and is shortlisted dropped to this level for the first time. |

7th 6 (10) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
He went close off 2lb higher at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March and a case can be made on that form but he's been soundly beaten back on turf on his last two starts; now 0-9 and he has to raise his game. |
12/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Habitual slow starter for whom it is yet to click since joining Ruth Carr; soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; 28-1) just under a month ago; now 4lb lower - a career-low mark - seeking something positive; focus elsewhere. |

3yo maiden who failed to settle when back over 7f most recently; performed encouragingly in last two 6f attempts, making the frame at Newcastle (AW) and Haydock; could go well. |

No threat to winner but made good headway from the rear to finish second at Haydock (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; eased in grade here and looks well worth another crack at 7f; good chance. |

13th 17 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

11-race maiden; good run when second over C&D in January; hasn't run quite as well since, although fair run with today's headgear on for first time over C&D two weeks ago (just behind stable companion Golden Havana); each-way chance. |

Started this year with a second at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February but he's lost his way in last three starts including a heavy defeat here (7f, good) in May; resumes off a reduced mark but he needs a big turnaround with blinkers added. |
