11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Thriving for his new stable and gained a third success in 1m4f Chester handicap in June; backed that up with a good second of seven in 2m handicap there since; big player off the same mark here. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has won three of his last four and doesn't win by far so might still be ahead of the game mark-wise; stays 1m6f well so this far shouldn't be an issue, nor the track as his win two weeks ago was here (1m4f). |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Redcar novice (1m2f, good to soft) in October when trained by Ralph Beckett; yet to match that level for this yard but did run well in a first-time tongue-tie at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) ten days ago, albeit aided by the run of things; unraced on ground quicker than good. |

2nd 3 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Left Ralph Beckett after 1m2f Redcar novice win (good to soft) in October; that form has not been reached in her six handicaps since but latest sixth of 17 at York (1m4f, good) was a fair effort from the widest stall one month ago; draw has been kinder today and she's edging down the weights; tongue-tie goes on. |

Left Ralph Beckett after 1m2f Redcar novice win (good to soft) in October; that form has not been reached in her five handicaps since, most at 1m but never dangerous latest when back up to 1m4f at Thirsk; others preferred. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came on the AW at Newcastle (1m) last November but he's finished third at Chester (about 1m4f; good/good to soft) in his two starts this year; off for three months but drops back in trip with claims. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |

1-2 on the AW and 0-9 on turf, though in the frame seven times as when third of 15 in apprentice handicap over C&D (good) on his reappearance last month; a couple of those in behind have won since and he makes the shortlist. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win on the AW came at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; has posted some good placed efforts since and left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 13 there over 1m3f last time; can be slowly away but is considered. |
6/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and has strung together a long line of minor honours this year; should be seriously involved. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two Southwell handicaps (1m4f, Tapeta) and a Worcester bumper for Archie Watson in 2024, but lightly raced since and had been off 250 days when well held on stable debut at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) in June; enough to prove back from another 82 days off. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps at Southwell in late 2024 but he didn't match that form in three starts last year and left Archie Watson for 5,000gns in October; yard (also runs Shipshape) won this with a 33-1 shot last year and this one is likely to be a similar price. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual 1m4f winner here who ran poorly when last seen eight months ago (was withdrawn a week later, when found to be coughing, which may have had something to do with it); interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner at around 1m4f and his best efforts on turf have been at Beverley; failed to beat a rival home at Haydock (1m6f, good) last month and now steps up to 2m with a tongue-tie added; best to look elsewhere. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins have been on good or slower ground and latest was at Hamilton (1m5f) in July; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher here and was creditable fourth over 1m2f at Ayr last time; respected back up in trip. |
7/1 |

4th 2 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Resumed winning ways in 1m5f handicap at Hamilton last month; this C&D scorer needs considering in refitted cheekpieces (won in them here) nudged up 1lb. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Ayr (1m2f) last April in a light campaign in 2025; back from 12 months off with an encouraging Ripon fifth but beat only one at Chester (1m4f) since; needs to bounce back. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |
