7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
It took him a long time to win but he landed a maiden at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March and was back on the scoresheet at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) last month; good second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) since; solid claims. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
It took him 17 attempts to put his head in front but has now won two of his last three, finding plenty tackling 7f for the first time when seeing off a couple of strong challengers in handicap at Thirsk (good to firm) 22 days ago; respected up 3lb. |

It took him 17 attempts to put his head in front, finally opening his account in a 6f maiden at Newcastle in March; solid second in a 6f Southwell handicap one month later; absent for 81 days and although he isn't on a bad mark, he does have to prove his stamina for 7f. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Versatile tactically and his last win was here in June; 6lb higher now but was runner-up off this mark at Lingfield four days ago (7f AW) when in first-time cheekpieces; each-way claims. |

2nd 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good) in June and he ran another good race when a clear second there last time; this return to Polytrack is no problem and he should give it another good shot with cheekpieces added. |
11/2 |

2nd 4 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Scored over C&D in June; below par returned to this scenario last time but that race possibly came too soon after a good effort three days earlier; may rebound. |

9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Redcar (good to firm) last summer off 2lb lower and bounced back to that sort of form when third of ten to Farandaway (runs in previous race) over 7f at Thirsk (good to firm) three weeks ago; in a lower grade now and should have a big say with Ivan Furtado among the winners. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |

Record is only 1-13 and her form has dipped a touch in two outings this term; normally a consistent sort otherwise and, as per many times, has frame possibilities if back on song. |

Better effort when fourth of ten at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) this month and now 2lb below his last winning mark, but he is just 1-42 in Britain. |

4th 10 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

9st 12lb |
Comes into this in good form having won over C&D on last two starts (good to firm), last week scoring by 3.5l when an 8-15 shot; 7b higher here, but should go well again. |

Belatedly ended a long losing run with a smooth defeat of Ramon Di Loria over C&D last week; looks well in under a 5lb penalty and his claims are obvious. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a maiden over C&D last summer; back to form with a front-running second of seven in a fillies' handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm; tongue tied first time) nine days ago; on a dangerous mark and one of two solid contenders for David O'Meara. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Thirsk maiden last June (7f, good); good third over this C&D next time (good to firm) but has been very disappointing on her last four starts (two of them this season); customary hood is absent and first-time tongue-tie goes on; has plenty to prove. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Still to add to her 2yo novice win; finished second of eight at Redcar (7f, good) in May but not in the same form in either run since; opposable. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

0-8 on turf but her last three runs (all 7f on good/good to firm) show that she can be competitive from her mark. |

|
4th 1 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

0-7 on turf but only beaten just over a length in her last two starts, the latest when second of eight at Redcar (7f, good) this month; that form is working out well and respected off 1lb higher. |

9st 11lb |
0-10 and form has an uneven look to it, but he's off the same mark as when beaten under a length at Ayr (1m, soft) on his penultimate start; a possible for the frame with a repeat. |
7/1 |
|
8th 14 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden; solid effort over 1m at Ayr (soft) 12 days ago but that was a Class 6 and he is facing different conditions here. |

2nd 2 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

0-8 but put in pretty good front-running shift before fading into eighth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on Sunday, his second start for Simon Waugh; could have a say. |

Ex-Irish maiden; ran his best race for new connections when staying on over 6f at Doncaster 11 days ago; stays 7f but he may need a drop into Class 6 to break his duck. |

6th 5 (7) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 6f/7f maiden for Andrew Slattery in 2025; yet to hit top form for his new stable, though not best drawn when beating one in 6f Ripon handicap 17 days ago; no surprise to see him take a step forward here from a falling mark. |
25/1 |

9th 9 (1) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Formerly with Andrew Slattery, finishing a close fourth to this year's Irish Lincolnshire winner Ribee at Gowran Park (7f, heavy) last October; joined Ruth Carr soon after for 12,000gns; weakened quickly, ninth of 12 to Novello Lad at Doncaster (6f) 18 days ago; now 2lb lower. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained all five wins over 7f; went close over that trip in Class 6 event at regular haunt Catterick (good to firm) last month but went up 2lb for that and looks vulnerable over 1m in this stronger race. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time C&D winner (twice on soft, once on good to firm); runner-up over C&D on first two starts this season (good); also a good third here two runs back but ran poorly latest, on his first run on good to firm this season; perhaps ideally suited by softer nowadays. |
4/1 |
|
10th 7 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
7lb below his last winning mark but that was back in October 2024; retains ability and he has been placed in all three C&D runs; should give his running. |
