20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ran out the easy winner of a handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; up 6lb but slower ground won't faze him and he can't be ruled out. |

1st 7 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Never involved on reappearance but he'd been off for ten months and he could easily do better today, having been placed in just two C&D runs, including when going close in this race in 2024 (under Lewis Chalkley who switches to So Grateful); not ruled out. |

Went winless last season but ran well on occasions and he's handicapped to go in at some point; seems to run well fresh. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-Richard Fahey; runner-up on last two starts, both over 5f here (soft/good to firm), last time finishing clear of the rest when beaten a neck by one completing a four-timer; now tries 6f again; interesting. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage sort who posted easily his best effort for new yard with second in 5f Ayr handicap last month; needs considering off an unchanged mark. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Modest form in three runs for Richard Fahey last year; tailed off when 200-1 for his stable debut at Carlisle (7f, soft) last month; not easily recommended now handicapping back at 5f. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss at Wetherby (5.5f) last month but she failed to beat a rival at Hamilton last time; handles most ground but has a bit to prove again after that last run and others are more solid. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All her wins have come on good or slower and with that in mind her recent second at Wetherby on good to firm was most encouraging; the more rain to fall the better and she's a major player. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Not yet off the mark and he's raced only at 5f since handicapping but he did look worth another go at 6f when keeping on well in fourth here (soft) last month, when first-time blinkers replaced cheekpieces; thereabouts. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Eight-race maiden but placed three times, including over C&D; showed promise on soft ground on debut; blinkers replace cheekpieces; contender. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden (0-7); showed plenty of speed but run out of it late at Ayr (5f, good to firm; 13-2) recently; that was his first run since last June, so he's entitled to strip fitter here; runner-up twice since introduced to cheekpieces; possible. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins have come at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) for David O'Meara this year; not beaten far into third of ten on her second start for this yard at Musselburgh (5f, good) three weeks ago, but a suspicion that the minimum trip suits her best. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latter achieved in smooth fashion at the beginning of this month; never a threat when fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, soft) ten days ago, taking turf record to 0-9; the headgear she's worn on her last ten starts is left off here. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latest a smooth success in a 0-55 handicap 18 days ago; makes debut for her new stable off a 6lb higher mark with blinkers replacing other forms of headgear; below par in one run on ground slower than good. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made all to win a C&D handicap last month; in and out since but she wasn't beaten far at Ayr on Monday and this mark is unlikely to prove beyond her; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made all at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June but she's been up and down since and was a well-held fourth at Hamilton last time; overall record is now 2-30 and she comes with risks attached; one of three runners for the yard. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Musselburgh (5f) in June; only seventh of 11 in 5f Ayr handicap three days ago so she needs to bounce back. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Triple 5f winner (good) including in this race last year; his last success was off 9lb higher last August but he's finished down the field in most of his runs since; now drops back in trip but he needs a major revival in second-time cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Three 5f wins to his name, one of them at this track, but unplaced in six runs over 6f+; finished behind stablemate Whiskey Kisses over C&D last week; new cheekpieces not enough to tempt. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 5f on good ground, latest at Musselburgh last August; hasn't been in top form this term, best run when third at Musselburgh in June (5f); bit to prove, including his stamina. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Promise as a 2yo but she suffered two heavy defeats in handicaps in April (sent off favourite for the first of them); new blinkers need to turn things around. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Five-race maiden who has not progressed so far and was disappointing when favourite on her Catterick reappearance (5f handicap) 12 days ago; still unexposed and mark is falling but she needs more on AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Could only manage fourth of eight on her 5f Redcar handicap debut (good) in October but the fact she went off the 13-8 favourite suggests better was anticipated; remains unexposed and it'll be interesting to see if there's money for her again back from six months off. |
