4th 11 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in May and there have been varied excuses for his defeats since, latterly when suffering a torrid passage over C&D 18 days ago; things will fall right for him one day but ground slower than good will be a first for him. |
5/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice over 6f on good ground in May; beaten favourite in his last four starts while leaving the impression this mark was still in range if things panned out better for him; shortlist material. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Doubled his tally when winning at Ripon (6f, good) in May and ran well when third here over 6f two weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added but he will likely need them to go a good gallop dropped back in trip. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid comeback before chasing home an improver at Hamilton; took a backward step as favourite over C&D (hung right) last time and is now tried in another form of headgear; went the wrong last year and has to prove he isn't following the same pattern. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a whimper but a gelding operation has bucked his ideas up and he has run well for second in two 6f handicaps this spring; likely to be bang there once again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last season petered out after a promising start, but he was gelded prior to his comeback run at Newcastle (6f handicap) where he went down narrowly under a prominent ride; clear claims on the back of that after a 1lb nudge. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
14-race maiden; good second over C&D on final start for Noel Wilson in July; fair run when second back on turf on stable debut next time; could go well. |
7/1 |
|
6th 12 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-13 but consistent and was a rallying second on yard debut over 5f here (good to firm) two weeks ago; considered back at 6f with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent in handicaps for Noel Wilson this year, signing off for him with a second at Newcastle (5f, AW) a fortnight ago; dips into this basement grade for stable debut (same owners) and has the services of Cieren Fallon; good chance. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first success at Ripon (6f) in April; mainly in good form since, though only ninth of 12 in 5.5f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him get back on track here. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Just one win (6f, good) to his name from 14 attempts and that came at a lower level; others bring greater potential this time. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when gamely landing a 6f handicap at Ripon (good ground) in April; beaten at short odds when fourth to Simba's Pride at Hamilton shortly afterwards and his form then dipped at Pontefract (5f) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should help; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Remains winless and hasn't been that threatening in any of her 12 defeats, especially of late; first classified assignment. |
25/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Remains winless and she beat one over C&D five days ago; more is required if she's to gain a breakthrough win at the 12th attempt. |
33/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has yet to make the frame in five runs for her current yard, a never-dangerous sixth of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 19 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |

6th 8 (4) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Failed to beat many rivals in five runs for Ollie Sangster, including two 5f nurseries when blinkered; new trainer fits a hood; too much to prove; 1lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Beat a total of two home in trio of maiden/novice contests and fared no better when behind two of these on last week's nursery debut, having been gelded; blinkers retained. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best run when second of four in a Musselburgh novice (5f, soft) on final start for Iain Jardine last October; yet to hit top form for new yard (6f/5f), but has been dropped 10lb. |
20/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Picked up from Iain Jardine last autumn for 7,000gns; two poor efforts for her new yard this spring and isn't obviously fancied despite being dropped 5lb. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Bought for 7,000gns in October after showing some ability at two, though the second came in a four-runner race; remote last on yard debut but that was a novice for which she was 80-1; may fare better on this handicap debut. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been well held since his debut fifth at Doncaster last July; makes stable debut but others have stronger claims. |
50/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Seven-race maiden who was held at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month following a wind operation; others have stronger claims. |
