3rd 7 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Turf wins this term at Bath (1m), Chepstow (1m4f) and Leicester (1m2f), with one of those under Ashley Lewis; however, her form has dropped off somewhat in 1m4f races on last two outings and this race demands more. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed improved form when winning over this C&D in May and followed up at Leicester (1m2f, good) next time; raised 4lb for that latest success and she was held off this mark at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; may be high enough in the weights now. |
5/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Is enjoying an excellent season and bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back handicap wins at Chepstow (1m4f) and Leicester (1m2f) recently; up 4lb but big shout with promising 5lb claimer Ashley Lewis up. |

1st 3 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has gained all of his three wins on the AW but is knocking on the door for his first turf win; placed on his last two runs, latest when runner-up at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month; claims. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been on the AW but has been placed on turf on three occasions, including when running on for third at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; makes appeal. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner who has rather stagnated in that sphere in 2026; record of 0-8 on turf but he was placed off higher marks in last two attempts; each-way possibilities, provided he's back in similar form. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Third at Leicester (good) last time was her most affirmative statement on turf or over 1m2f, as well as being recorded in a fairly well-stocked 0-70; not one for blind faith given her propensity to pull, but this does look an easier opportunity. |
5/2 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden; solid third of ten at Southwell (1m, AW; first-time hood) in April but she didn't see this trip out when behind Jack Sparowe here on her next start; again well held in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) over 1m at Kempton 17 days ago and others make more appeal. |
14/1 |
|
8th 12 (4) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won't be justifying her seven-figure yearling price but has joined the yard who trained her winning sisters (including Saffron Beach, who struck twice at the top level) and she showed enough at Southwell last month to suggest a win or two is achievable; didn't see 1m2f out at Yarmouth last week; due 2lb drop; first-time cheekpieces replace hood. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stepped up on her reappearance effort when winning at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) 22 days ago, pulling clear of the rest with Lesrico who was runner-up; back up 5lb but she could have a bit more to offer over this trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 10 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unraced on softer than good; struggled badly in her four handicaps last season but reappeared with a closer finish when fourth of ten at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; 16-1) late last month; needs to build on that. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded RPRs of 70 (twice) and 75 in her three novice/maiden runs last season; struggled badly in four handicap runs thereafter, dropping 9lb in the process; may bounce back at some point but she is risky back from a 202-day break. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive once handicapping over this trip last year, winning four from six (three on Polytrack), latterly off a 2lb lower mark; held in three runs this season but she wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time and that was more like it; not ruled out. |
15/2 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive once handicapping over this trip last year, winning four from six (three on Polytrack), latterly off a 3lb lower mark; held in two runs back but this is easier and she ought to fare better. |
4/1 |
|
6th 8 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive last year, winning four times over 1m2f (AW/good to firm turf); weak in the betting and left the impression her first start for 225 days was needed when sixth of eight at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month; may take a step forward. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came in game fashion on soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) in October and he ran a fine race when runner-up behind Blue Wonder at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) on his reappearance 22 days ago, coming clear of the rest; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ninth start when off the mark in game fashion from the front at Doncaster (1m2f, soft; 6lb higher today) in October under Ben Ffrench Davis; out of the handicap when appearing to run well 11 days later (1m2f, good) and he needs a second look on this reappearance. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; off the mark on ninth start when a game winner at Doncaster 11 days ago (1m2f, soft); raised 5lb and competing in a higher grade here. |

Latest of his nine wins was over C&D in February off a 1lb higher mark; that helps show that he needs a second look, despite mixed fortunes since. |
7/1 |
|
9th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Newcastle in February off a 1lb lower mark; beaten 1l when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April and his last two efforts have been respectable; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Grand stable servant who wins in his turn; successful at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February and has made the frame back on turf on his last two starts; place claims once again. |

Record of just 1-20 on Flat, the success in Class 6 handicap over 1m2f in April; form dipped last time; brings limited potential to this change of code. |
25/1 |

10th 10 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who got off the mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in April; runner-up on his next two starts, including here 18 days ago, and he can't be dismissed despite stepping up in class. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up on reappearance at Bath (1m, good) last month then won over C&D (good to firm) before a good second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); arrives at the top of his game and he's a strong contender. |
