17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Good record on turf for new yard, winning cosily at Pontefract 18 days ago (5f, good); a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

1st 4 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 with a win and better than ever when a close second of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) on reappearance; Thirsk was disappointing but that was a Class 4, so this is easier. |
7/2 |

9th 11 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; ended 2025 with a win and he showed himself better than ever when a close second of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) on reappearance; still of interest despite a 2lb rise in the weights. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; revived by blinkers last summer, following his Redcar fourth with a cosy win at Ripon (5f, good) 296 days ago; this 3lb higher mark is unlikely to prove beyond him but he is taking on match-fit opposition today. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways on AW at Newcastle (5f; beating stablemate Herakles) in April; ran well from this revised mark at Pontefract (5f; third, reportedly bled from the nose) subsequently; trainer won this in 2021, 2022, and 2024, so he's one to have on the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Stepped up on his low-key reappearance when winning a 5f handicap at Newcastle 16 days ago; this demands more up 4lb and he wasn't at his best in one C&D run last summer. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Should come on for last month's Southwell reappearance; returning to a stiff 5f no bad thing either and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the betting with Paul Midgley running three here. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Notched her third Catterick win, fending off Moostar there (6f, good; from 2lb lower) in early April; dropped back to 5f, she has twice finished fourth since, beaten nearly 7l at Carlisle over a fortnight ago; rain would be no major concern, but others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all handicap wins at Catterick/Pontefract and those two tracks have been the scene of her last two runs (finished first then fourth); makes first visit to Carlisle. |
11/2 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner 12 months ago (good ground); back to winning ways in a 6f handicap at Catterick three weeks ago, doing well from a wide stall; has landed the widest draw again today and that could find her out. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn and he was in good form when last seen in February; not much wiggle room off this mark though and a lower draw would have been preferable too. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-14) but has won three on AW at Wolverhampton (5f; marks between 55 and 71); had every chance, and no excuses when fourth of eight at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 2lb higher) a fortnight ago; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has done his winning on AW and, although he handles turf, it has been a while since he ran to form on the grass; drops in class today but others look safer. |
9/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Seems happiest on AW nowadays; not at best at Wolverhampton when last seen in December; trainer may have stronger claims with Jojo Rabbit. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D (off 1lb higher) last summer and at Pontefract this spring but has proved inconsistent otherwise during that period; no banker to give his running. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wildly inconsistent filly who's finished well held a few times since springing a 33-1 shock over C&D in March; it seems the positive early impact of the visor may have worn off. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sprung a 33-1 surprise at Southwell last month (5f) but that has been followed by two disappointing runs; best turf form on good ground; others appeal more for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Opened her account for her current yard over C&D in March but bumped start when last of eight in 5f Wolverhampton handicap three days ago; it would come as no surprise to see her bounce back. |
8/1 |
