6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition. |

9st 5lb |
Resurgent 7yo who completed a 7f Carlisle double on Monday and has now won five times this year; has 4lb penalty to carry but he won't mind if the ground eases; commands respect in current mood. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

Sole win in 21 starts came narrowly over 1m here in March; held since, but is now 1lb lower so a case can be made. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just did enough to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March, his 17th start, and also ran well when third behind The Gay Blade over C&D (good) last month, having made a big forward move in the early stages; his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he can make his presence felt. |

3rd 3 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

1-19 and his best form has come on the AW, albeit he didn't run very well at Southwell last time and his previous fourth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) was better; frame material again based on that effort. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Eight-race maiden; put some disappointing efforts behind him and made bold bid from the front before weakening into fourth behind The Gay Blade over C&D (good) last month but others appeal more all the same. |

0-7; showed plenty of ability in both starts on soft ground as a 2yo, but has regressed in an abbreviated career since; best watched. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
C&D win in July off this mark; late headway back at 5f here 12 days ago and the return to this trip will suit; not discounted. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f here, the first on good to soft in June, the second on good to firm last month; effective at 5f, but not been in quite such good form recently. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Prominent racer; made all to win at Musselburgh in June and he followed that with a solid second at Beverley three weeks ago; each-way shout. |

Off the mark for the season when winning by a neck at Musselburgh last time (7f, good); could go well again but bit disappointing in only previous run here. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
2-6 over C&D; ended a 17-race losing run at Chester (7f, good) last month and only beaten just over 2l into fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; shouldn't have an issue with the return to this trip and shortlisted. |

4th 3 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won his first race since September 2024 when scoring at Chester last time (7f, good; third run in cheekpieces, runner-up third there the next day); up 3lb; goes well on fast ground; a possible. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but has suffered heavy defeats back on turf the last twice; first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September, but there was a heavy defeat on his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) five weeks ago. |
16/1 |

15th 8 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Newcastle (7f) in September and bettered that form when third over 6f at Southwell (also AW) in November; had wind surgery before respectable comeback over latter C&D one month ago; unexposed on turf and worth a second look. |
