1st 6 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Often front-runner; soundly beaten at the big Chester and York meetings in May but fairly solid otherwise this term and returned to winning ways in a five-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) ten days ago; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who landed three 1m handicaps last autumn, the last two at Newcastle (Tapeta); twice placed at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) earlier this year but recent efforts less encouraging. |

Front-runner who landed three 1m handicaps last autumn, the last two at Newcastle (Tapeta); twice placed off 2lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) earlier this year, but may be vulnerable to an improver; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won under 7lb claimer in four-runner C&D race (good to firm) last July off 1lb higher; Yarmouth second one month ago and should be seriously involved. |

2nd 6 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Goes on any ground; didn't run at all badly when fifth of ten at Salisbury (1m4f, good) 19 days ago having been off for eight months (has run well fresh); now 1lb below his last winning mark and considered. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner but only one of those came in a double-figure field (October 2022); ran well at Newmarket when last seen eight months ago; has gone well fresh in the past; others appeal more all the same. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm; placed over 1m2f on first four starts this season, before comfortably justifying 4-6 favouritism in a 11.6f novice at Lingfield on latest outing; this unchanged, opening handicap mark seems to demand more but he may have more to offer at this sort of trip. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Placed in all four starts over 1m2f since returning in April, the latest when beaten under a length into second of six at Redcar (good to firm); consistent rather than progressive but, given he is bred to stay, this step up in trip may prove the key. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten four times and more consistent than progressive; however, he's got the best form of these and looks sure to have a major say. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win (12 races) came in a 1m2f handicap in April 2025; made a respectable debut for new yard this April but took a backward step next time; she's now 6lb below her peak mark and moves back up from 1m2f, having been below form once each over 1m3f and 1m4f last term; stamina in the family, though. |
8/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m2f handicap at Wetherby last April but found life tougher afterwards (highly tried); left William Knight prior to her Yarmouth reappearance, a race where she shaped as though the run would bring her on; better expected this time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins over 1m4f, the last three on Tapeta; not seen since a career best to win at Wolverhampton in January and he's 4lb higher here; twice runner-up on turf last year; may need to hit a new turf high but he requires a second look given this small field. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Triple 1m4f winner, including on Tapeta; handicapper has just had his measure since his last win but he's gone very close several times, the latest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); up 1lb; respected. |
13/2 |
