9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
6f maiden winner on the AW; wore a tongue-tie on handicap debut but that was soon discarded and he ran well behind one completing a hat-trick at Nottingham; tries 7f for the first time and that could trigger something. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Narrowly came out on top when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October on his second start, but he hung left when failing to beat a rival home on his handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) 78 days ago; tongue-tie is discarded for his turf debut. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Closely related to smart AW performer Cool Hand Luke; built upon promising debut when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f) in October; makes handicap debut after 170-day absence but should have more improvement to come; tongue-tie added. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Formerly with William Haggas and Willie Mullins; consistent for this yard and deserved his battling win over C&D latest; can run well again off just 3lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Not the force of old but he retains ability and has performed with credit for his new yard this year, most recently finishing second of nine at Pontefract 12 days ago (6f, good); down in class today and should go well despite his small rise in the weights. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Form for new yard this term comprises two placed efforts over 1m and a running-on sixth over 7f; useful over 6f early in career but isn't crying out for the return to this trip. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Only contested seven handicaps and won four; would have gone close in Alpha Capture's race here last time had he broken on terms; chance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 10 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins (including C&D) and a second from his six handicap runs; still has time to progress further and he looks a solid candidate once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made it four out of five in handicaps when prevailing in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); this lightly raced 4yo is clearly progressive and should be a tough nut to crack. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

All four wins at Newcastle but nothing wrong with latest second at Chester, especially as he missed the break; good chance off 1lb higher. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Readily landed 7f handicap at Newcastle (fourth success there) 24 days ago; can't be ruled out on a rare turf start despite a 5lb weights rise. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Had a good season already and Toby Moore's claim is welcomed when he might be a shade high in the weights now; beaten 2l at Chester last time, just behind King's School whom he beat the time before. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Is enjoying a fine season and he racked up a fifth victory at Redcar (7f) in May; posted another very good effort with second of ten in 7f Newcastle handicap 24 days ago so he's a likely player once more. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's won five already this year, the first four over C&D; a 5lb rise for his latest turf victory under 5lb claimer Jack Nicholls demands more but such has been his rate of progress he may well be up to it. |

Won over C&D in March of 2025 off 11lb higher; 0-12 in the meantime and quiet so far this term. |

12th 9 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when winning at Doncaster last March and may have needed his comeback run there this March, when mid-division; however, his form went the wrong way as last year developed and he needs to get back on track. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Won two 7f novices last year; no better than seventh in three handicaps and needs to step up. |
20/1 |
|
10th 10 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a pair of 7f novices at Redcar and Newcastle last summer but he's failed to kick on sent handicapping, beating one on his seasonal return over C&D two weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
20/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Unexposed 4yo; won a Redcar maiden (7f, good to firm) and a Newcastle novice (7f, AW) towards the end of last summer but he was well held on handicap at Newcastle in October; still has potential but this is competitive on his return and he needs to find more progress. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Newbury novice winner over 6f and ran in a Listed race on final run last season; a disappointing return on handicap debut leaves her with questions to answer; unraced beyond 6f. |
33/1 |
|
9th 10 (9) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Broke duck on second start, at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last July; lost out only narrowly in a Salisbury novice next time but had more to do when down the field in a 5f Listed race when last seen nine months ago; race readiness the query today. |
10/1 |
|
8 (5) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (6f, good to firm) last month on second start and very close third in Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) since, when behind Indy B who is declared in the opener; it's possible she'll be suited by the drop back to 5f but she has quite a bit to find against today's opponents. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Belied her 20-1 odds with recent C&D success on good ground, taking Doncaster record to 2-5; incurs a penalty (future mark 1lb lower) but may well remain competitive kept to this venue. |

1st 9 (12) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

The winner of two 7f AW handicaps for Scott Dixon; didn't run badly on turf at Lingfield (7f, good) on her penultimate start and her rider takes off a useful 3lb; each-way shout. |
