3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 5f win at Newcastle in December and largely in good form this season, fourth of ten in 5f Southwell handicap 26 days ago; not out of things eased 2lb. |
9/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Boasts a decent record around this time of year; below par on turf last time but he's bounced back from blips before and he's in off the same mark as when going close over C&D in March; one to consider. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Largely consistent filly who has finished second in Windsor handicap (5f; beaten only a head) and Bath maiden (5.7f; behind a subsequent scorer) since switched to turf from AW; solid. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Only headed late on in a Windsor 5f handicap last week and these terms are by no means impossible to overcome back in a maiden. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All three wins at Catterick (has never run here before); below par both starts this season, but last month's sixth at Redcar was a clear step forward and he's not ruled out from a falling mark. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Had 12 races for current yard and won two of them; never threatened to add another when beaten 16l only last week; that was after a break. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since May 2024 but he took a step back in the right direction with a close third of seven in 5f Pontefract handicap eight days ago; very much one to consider off a reduced mark. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Hasn't won for more than two years and not at his best on last two starts (fifth over C&D on good to soft last time); on a good mark, but a bit to prove. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed nine-race maiden but she is yet to run a bad race over 5f and her second at Catterick last month looks a solid effort; one to take seriously off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent over 5f on turf for the Quinns; not at her best when third of five in Wolverhampton novice (6f) on her stable debut 193 days ago; return to 5f in her favour but cheekpieces remain on the sidelines; others safer. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Record here is 2231, his win coming over 5f in April (good); can be forgiven a below-par effort next time after being restless in stalls; interesting back here. |
11/2 |
|
10th 9 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when leading late at Catterick last month (5f, good); beat a subsequent winner on that occasion but a 5lb rise might prove beyond him. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of her three wins have come at Beverley (5f, good to firm/soft) and she has dropped back below her last winning mark; ran well on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; third) but had no in-running luck at Beverley subsequently; isn't a forlorn hope. |
8/1 |
|
7th 10 (2) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ties in with Glory Hyde on Wetherby reappearance running; has done all her winning in Class 6 but she's 2-3 over C&D and could go well from a good draw back here. |
8/1 |
