24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
2-2 as a juvenile but he didn't progress at three (quite highly tried) and left Karl Burke for 25,000gns that October; missed last year but there was plenty of encouragement when fourth at Chester (10.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; fairly quick second run back from a long absence sounds a note of caution but his yard's in fine form; respected. |

2-2 as a juvenile but he didn't progress in 2024 and left Karl Burke for 25,000gns that October; failed to make the track last year and he's best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Largely progressive sort in 2025 (when a two-time 1m2f winner) and she's continued on the up stepped up to 1m4f this season, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when fourth of 15 at Chester 13 days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |
5/2 |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Consistent filly who won twice over 1m2f last summer and posted career-best form when close second on last month's reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f, good; clear third has won since); well drawn and Toby Moore looks excellent value for his 7lb claim against other apprentices; good chance. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two 1m4f wins for Ben Brookhouse on a sound surface but he finished well adrift on his reappearance and first start since wind surgery at Nottingham in April; much more competitive when fifth of 15 at Chester (12.5f, good) one month later; was well drawn that day but it's still early days for this yard. |
20/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over this trip for Ben Brookhouse last year but his stable/hurdle debut in December was underwhelming and he made a low-key return to the Flat last month; others have much less to prove. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
At his best as a hurdler when gaining his second win in this sphere, at Kempton (2m, good) in March; touched off at Ludlow next time but below his best up in trip at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; ridden on four of last five starts by Ciaran O'Shea; back to 2m and needs to return to form. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Began to look exposed in the second half of last year but he showed improved form to win at Kempton (2m, good) on March 23 and was short-headed at Ludlow (2m, good) last Monday; he should be fine now back up in trip and could again be thereabouts. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 16 races to March 2025; however, he's been second on three of his last four starts, most recently at York (1m4f, good) last Saturday; slow ground is probably fine; each-way chance. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Often a slow starter; couldn't get into it at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but runner-up twice in a row at Hamilton (1m5f/1m3f, good) before that; could be involved if today's race pans out favourably. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

Unexposed 4yo; no improvement for the switch to handicaps when fourth of nine (form not really worked out) at Redcar in April; mark unchanged; needs to raise his game. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed promise in three runs over 1m last term; steps up in trip on handicap debut at a low level and may well outclass this opposition. |

9st 13lb |
5-19 on AW but 0-15 on the grass after finishing well behind at Thirsk two weeks ago (1m4f, good); he'll be of greater interest when back on the synthetics. |
11/2 |
|
10th 8 (12) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won a maiden at Ballinrobe in June 2023 when trained by Joseph O'Brien; well beaten over hurdles on her final two outings for David Pipe but she did run creditably on the Flat in February; market support would be interesting on her first start for another new stable. |
25/1 |

9th 6 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Beaten just 2l when fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) earlier in the month but Friday's heavy defeat on similar ground at Exeter (extended 2m2f) takes some explaining; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and her yard might have better prospects with Best Night. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Can lead; course winner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; a 3lb rise for that success still leaves him well treated on old form. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

On a long losing run but he comes here in good nick, third of 11 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap four days ago; his best recent form is on the AW though. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Won three on the Flat last season, including a 1m4f seller at Beverley in July (1m4f, good to firm); winner over hurdles in March (2m1f, soft) and returns after wind surgery the following month. |
20/1 |

6th 11 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
From out of the handicap she's 12lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) 12 days ago in her second handicap hurdle; however, she did it comfortably and may well have more to offer in this code, especially now up in trip (won at up to 2m on the Flat); versatile ground-wise. |
