29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a three-runner novice at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) last September and very close fourth in a handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) last month on her seasonal/stable debut; below-par in a first-time hood (now left off) at Nottingham (5f, good) three weeks ago but she's not written off. |

6th 3 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won a 5f novice at Musselburgh (good to soft) for Richard Fahey last autumn; left that yard for 1,400gns but she made an encouraging start for new stable when a close fourth in C&D handicap (good) last month; still has potential after only six starts and she's in the mix with hood added. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |
6/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on soft but has useful form on good to firm; has yet to race on this course but he's versatile track-wise and comes here in good form after finishing close up at Hamilton (5f, good) recently; thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Suited by ground softer than good; five-time winner, most recently off current mark over C&D last August; ran respectably at Doncaster on reappearance; in the mix. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Can make the running; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) this spring and had excuses for a lesser effort over 5f there last time; each-way possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Successful in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford in February off a 4lb lower mark; runner-up here (6f) on his last two starts and he has run well over 5f in the past; should give his running. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice for Richard Fahey in the summer of 2024 but lost his way; sold for 10,000gns to join new yard in October; gambled on but well held on stable debut at Thirsk (7f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (now removed); may be worth another chance off sliding mark. |
6/1 |
|
12th 5 (11) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-25 for Richard Fahey, the wins coming in 2024 (one over C&D); left that yard out of form and for 10,000gns; historically well handicapped if Adam Kirby can get him going again; tries cheekpieces; market interesting. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still off the same mark as when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December; three-time winner on turf and ran well to finish third of 11 on her return from a break at Catterick (5f, good) 15 days ago; not the most consistent, but her best form would make her a big player. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Below par on final few outings in the winter but she may have been ready for a break; posted a C&D win and a good 6f second here last summer and is well treated on that form; capable of having a say. |

5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner but conditions suit and she ran well for third over C&D eight days ago; each-way shout once again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 10 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Losing run stands at 18 but she has run some good races in defeat for Joey Ramsden, including over C&D; down the field at Doncaster on Friday but she's capable of bouncing back quickly; stable also runs Forever Noah. |
