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. |

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. |

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. |

Unexposed sort; fair second in a Redcar maiden handicap last June (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces on for first time) but has been absent since. |

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. |

1st 4 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Only win was over C&D in March when wearing a visor for the first time; best run since when second at Redcar last week (5f, good to firm); chance. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-23 and her very best form has come on the AW, but she was only beaten just over 2l into fourth of 14 from 3lb higher at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) on her penultimate outing; possibilities if back to that sort of form. |

She had been threatening on turf prior to a comfortable front-running success at Musselburgh (5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb; handles good to soft, unraced on slower. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Just one win to her name but she comes here in good order, most recently bumping into a well-handicapped opponent at Hamilton eight days ago (5f, good); should be in the thick of it again. |

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. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not solid on his sprint form last year for the Fahey yard and contests another novice race rather than switching to a low-grade handicap; sold for 2,600gns and gelded since last run. |
33/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Was only 100-30 for Ripon debut when not showing much but he travelled strongly and shaped better in a fair Redcar novice (also 5f; good to firm) in June; now hooded up in trip; looks the type to improve again. |

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

C&D winner; plugged on for third behind Wee Mary at Musselburgh (5f, good) two weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but his yard may have stronger claims with Ski Angel. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two of his three wins have come over C&D, the latest last August off a 4lb higher mark; not found his best in two runs this year but he's the type to pop up at some point. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is 2lb lower than for the latest of them; unplaced on his recent return from a six-month absence; can take a step forward today but others are still more appealing for win purposes. |

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 |

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. |

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. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All his wins have been at 5f on good or softer; three fair runs this year; a possible, but stall 9 not ideal. |
9/2 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Not at the top of her game at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago but before that she was an encouraging fourth on her comeback at Ayr (5f, good to firm); third in this last year and might not be far away if bouncing back. |
