15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Two front-running 5f wins this summer; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract four weeks ago and this is just the second 6f run of his career; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Is enjoying an excellent season and gained a third success when making all in 5f Beverley handicap two weeks ago; up 3lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Began his campaign with a second and first over C&D in April; his progress has continued, adding a win at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and should go well despite his career-high mark. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran a stormer over C&D on his seasonal return; the ground went against him at Epsom on Derby day and he has quickly bounced back with placed efforts at Beverley and Newmarket; up 2lb for latest near-miss but still on a good mark; Oisin Murphy booked; decent chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
First run for Michael Keady when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark; two good runs on fast ground this year (below par on slower going in the Epsom Dash) and he's likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Eight-time turf winner including on fast and soft ground; ended last season with a good fourth in a Listed race at Ascot (5f) but she's been out of sorts in her four runs this year; on dangerous mark but she needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; ten-time winner but her last four turf wins have been at Beverley and she's been out of sorts in three runs this year; has something to prove and she needs a big turnaround. |

3rd 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
In good form on AW earlier in the year; unplaced both starts since returning to turf this summer and others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by 5f on a stiff track (two of his three wins have been at Beverley); fair fifth at Beverley with a visor tried last time (5f, good; pulled hard); regular cheekpieces back on here but soft ground a negative. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won his nursery over C&D (good to firm) off only 1lb lower; missed all of 2025; sharper for his comeback run, he was up there throughout when a close third in a Class 4 at York 20 days ago; every chance. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Has had far less racing than most of these and showed he retains ability when fifth of eight at Beverley (5f, good to firm; 11-1) three weeks ago after a long absence, a gelding operation and a stable switch; big player if coming on for that run and Danny McMenamin was the successful rider in this race last year, for the same connections. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win a 5f nursery at Thirsk for Bryan Smart in September 2024; soft-ground defeat one month later easy enough to forgive; been gelded since last seen; 630-day absence the obvious negative now starting out for a new yard (same owner). |

Won three times last season, all over 5f on good/good to firm; yet to score this term, but creditable third at Thirsk last week (5f, good); a possible. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won a 5f handicap off this mark at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; she has run some fair races this year but her latest effort (tried in cheekpieces, usual visor back on today) wasn't one of them; no surprise to see her bounce back quickly. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Prominent racer; on a lenient mark but his losing sequence is mounting and he had no obvious excuses when beating just one home at Beverley three weeks ago. |
11/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; on a good mark and his latest Hamilton third offered hope he would be adding to his tally soon; tongue-tie returns today; considered. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won twice on the AW since finishing well held in this 12 months ago but hasn't offered all that much in his last three races. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |
