9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Six-time winner, including over C&D last July (good to soft); well suited by give in the ground, so after two fair runs this season, is one with a chance. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
4-27 at Hamilton, which has dominated his itinerary but he also has two wins elsewhere; made a respectable return to Flat over C&D two weeks ago under Lexie Clarkson and could build on that to get seriously involved. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently over today's trip (good to soft) in September; ended 2025 with two below-par hurdle runs, though, and would appeal more on ground slower than good. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent sort who gained a first success of 2026 in 1m2f handicap at Ayr last month; up 3lb but runner-up has gone in since so must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has modest 2-31 strike-rate but scores good marks for her consistency in recent months, having made the frame five consecutive times (once over C&D); probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 1m3f/1m4f on turf this summer and her 1m2f fourth at Ayr was similar form; big shout on that but the problem is that her AW form (six races, including three last autumn) is at a lower level. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; started off for new stable with two down-the-field runs over 1m in the spring, but fared much better when third at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) in June and remains on a good mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Kevin Ryan; won a 1m AW handicap in March 2025; stays 1m2f but below-par when tried over further; bit to prove. |
40/1 |
|
12th 11 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't progress as may have been expected following a 1m win at Southwell last March; dropped away to finish eighth of the nine runners on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m); enough to prove for now. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win any of her first 15 starts but has now won two of her last three, the latter success gained on good to soft at Hamilton (1m1f) 13 days ago; a 3lb rise is fair but the opposition looks stronger this time. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a breakthrough success at Pontefract (1m) in July and backed it up with a good second of five in handicap at Ripon (1m2f) 18 days ago; a player off the same mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Close second of five at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month before getting off the mark at the 16th attempt at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) eight days ago; had something to spare and she's respected under a penalty. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Below his best in recent starts, including at Ayr last month over 1m2f, but is now 2lb lower than for his C&D success last August, that being his only previous win; cheekpieces removed and can't be discounted. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Back to the mark off which he won at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last August; finished third in his first two runs this year but not at the same level on his last two starts; drops in trip/grade and could bounce back to form. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
1m3f win at Carlisle (good to firm) last summer; began his 2026 campaign with two solid efforts but his form dipped at Carlisle 24 days ago (Class 5; sent off favourite); has to enter calculations at this modest level. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f, most recently at Pontefract (good) last month; bumped into very well-handicapped rival when second at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and looks interesting over this new trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who made it 3-6 in 1m4f handicaps when justifying favouritism at Pontefract (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; up 4lb but that was a comfortable success and he's open to more progress at this trip; key player. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual winner over 1m3f and 1m4f on the Flat; has made a promising start over hurdles, latest when third of 13 at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; should be suited by this step up in trip and run well. |
15/8 |
|
3rd 8 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
1m3f/1m4f wins at a lowly level and it was a modest race in which she ran second on jumps debut at Cartmel (good; jumping lacked fluency); others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won a Pontefract handicap on Flat in April 2025 (1m4f, good; modest form); hasn't run as well since, including on both starts this year following a 380-day break; hurdles debut. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley (7.5f-1m4f), the most recent coming last August off a 4lb higher mark than today's, and he posted a solid effort when third there over 1m2f two weeks ago; down the field over this C&D in June. |

3rd 4 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Six-time course winner and a regular here; beaten just over 2l over C&D last month when he was on the back foot after starting slowly; hard to rule out. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Had a visor on for the first time when finishing runner-up at Carlisle (1m3f, good) in July and went one better at Southwell (1m3f, AW) four weeks ago, gaining his first success for this stable; a 3lb rise looks fair. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Navan (1m2f, good) last April when trained by Joseph O'Brien; ran his best race since joining current stable when second of five at Carlisle (1m3f, good; first-time visor) last month but his task will now be to back that up. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won a Navan handicap for Joseph O'Brien last spring but suffered a succession of fairly hefty defeats on the Flat and over hurdles for this yard, including when beaten nearly 20l over C&D last month when back from a nine-week break; visor given a whirl. |
