27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five turf wins at around 1m (good/good to firm), the latest off this mark at Leicester in May; not at his best on last two starts but he could go well in a modest event. |
5/1 |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again. |

Gained his second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and posted a good third of 12 in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this course winner rates a player off an unchanged mark. |

Progressive 4yo who won back-to-back handicaps at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month before a near-miss at Galway (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago; has won over this trip in the past and he has leading claims off just 1lb higher than last time. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Snapped a losing sequence when he landed an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good; stays further) in June; shaped as though this longer trip and stiffer track would help at Thirsk last time; should have a say. |
10/1 |
|
5th 10 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Closely matched with Jesmond Dawn on last month's runs at Ripon and it wasn't going to be easy in a Class 4 at York last time (33-1); this is more his level. |
10/1 |
|
7th 15 (12) |

9st 0lb |
Arrives on a recent high after a win at Musselburgh and a second at Ripon (both 1m, good); should give his running but he's up in grade here. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scrapped it out with Beachborough Girl over C&D a fortnight ago, on his first start without a hood, and closely matched with that one on revised terms; got caught wide early that night from stall 12 and looks set to go well once more. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (12) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained his first win since his debut when scoring by half a length at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago; has a 5lb penalty and the outside stall to contend with, but he remains unexposed over this sort of trip; hood removed. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 since debut win at Salisbury in July 2024 and untested at 1m2f, but he's dropped down the weights and was a very close fourth here (1m, good to firm) last time; could be in the mix if seeing out the trip. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Multiple winner who took advantage of her much reduced mark when justifying favouritism at Bath (extended 1m3f, firm); entitled to go well again off 4lb higher; ran okay in one or her two previous visits here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple winner in this code at up to 1m4f, including on fast ground; usually held up; has had four starts from 1m-1m2f since a break, running reasonably consistently in defeat; drops 2lb and back again in grade; player. |
15/8 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
On a losing run but finished well to be close up in 1m2f/1m handicaps at Leicester (good to firm); she can cope with good to soft and should run well. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in July, including here (1m2f, good), and his last two runs have seen him hamstrung by pulling far too hard; drops in trip on what will likely be the slowest ground he has encountered; risky. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won twice over 1m2f last month (good and good to firm); pulled his chance away when third to Mariner at Doncaster 16 days ago; stamina for 1m4f has to be taken on trust but Henry Callan is 5-7 for James Owen and he should give it another good go. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All the better for a hood returning, winning two of his last three races; overcame some traffic issues to prevail narrowly at Windsor 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here on the back of a good second of 12 over C&D in July; this C&D scorer must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Getting on for two years since his last win but this C&D winner has dropped to a tempting mark and he didn't run badly in a stronger race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) six weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb too; high on the list. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
In good form in similar races under under Charli Parker in recent months, following a win at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) with runner-up efforts at Catterick (1m4f, good; Austrian Theory third) and Ripon (1m3f, soft; Spirit Catcher fourth); likely to go well again if a three-day turnaround after Ripon doesn't catch up with him. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
In-form 6yo who won under Charli Parker at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) early this month before a creditable second in another amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off the same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid; cheekpieces reapplied. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Chased home Stellarmasterpiece in this race last year having won a 1m2f amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract 12 days earlier; repeated his win at Pontefract 12 days ago and he should be in the thick of it again. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course win (1m) on her handicap debut last April; in and out since but she ran well for second at Bath (1m, good) this April and a repeat would see her on the premises at this level; needs to bounce back from a poor run at Leicester 110 days ago. |
8/1 |

9th 10 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Back from five months off in good form, set a lot to do and nearest at the finish when second of 14 in 1m Bath handicap last month; she can go well again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (12) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won second time out last spring and a reproduction wouldn't surprise, as she was not suited by the way the race panned out on AW comeback; on a competitive mark now for a yard enjoying a good spell and she is one to consider. |
