20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024). |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

In a consistent vein of form over 1m until below par over 1m1f last time; went very close over C&D on penultimate start and could go well returned to his usual trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; good runner-up efforts at Thirsk (1m, good) and Ayr (1m, good to firm) since; the line came a couple of strides too soon for his strong finish at Ayr and the extra yardage this afternoon may help; enters calculations. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Beat Donna Nook over C&D in May when rated 1lb higher; put a couple of lesser efforts behind him when chasing home Runninsonofagun here last week; 7lb better off for 2l defeat so has a handicapping chance; new visor replaces cheekpieces; others still more appealing. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in May (good to firm) and decent third at Hamilton later in the month (8.5f, good to firm); disappointing in two runs since, first-time cheekpieces latest (retained); could go well back on good to firm ground. |
13/2 |

8th 1 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Just held on to score over C&D (good to firm) in May and looked unlucky at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) two starts ago (persistently denied clear run) but has become rather inconsistent and it's hard to predict whether the first-time cheekpieces will get the best out out him. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Gained first win since his 2yo days when making all in a Class 6 over C&D last week (blinkered first time); unlikely to get a soft lead this time and a 5lb penalty against stronger opposition demands more in any case. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won maiden claimer for Tony Mullins in August 2024 (1m, good); hasn't won since but a few fair runs for new yard, including when third at Carlisle in June (1m1f, soft); blinkers now tried; fast ground is a concern. |
3/1 |

5th 7 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate but he ended 2025 in good form and he ran his best race of this campaign when third over 1m1f here last week; runs off the same mark and he is one to take seriously. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Ended a losing run when beating 11 rivals at Ripon (1m, good) last month; respectable efforts since without suggesting she was ahead of her mark. |

4th 1 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a losing run when winning a 1m handicap at Ripon last month; fair fourth at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; should give her running but one or more of the 3yos may have her measure. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took 17 goes to strike for this yard but it all came together at Ripon (1m, good) three weeks ago; will need extra up 3lb but that was the first time she sported this headgear combination and today's stiff 7f is probably not a problem. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Not won on turf since his 2yo days and has gone off the boil, finishing a remote last behind Physique at Beverley a few weeks ago; hard to recommend off the back of that. |

9st 7lb |
Won four handicaps here (1m-1m2f, good or slower) in the second half of 2025; yet to fire this time around and may need both slower ground and further help from the handicapper. |

|
10th 5 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 when completing a hat-trick over C&D (third C&D success) in October but he's yet to fire this summer, soon ridden when only seventh of ten over C&D 16 days ago; has something to prove now. |
20/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Enjoyed a revival in second half of last season, winning four times here (1m-1m2f, good-heavy); well down the field on last month's reappearance outing, though, and remains on a tough mark. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two solid runs to begin his time with this yard and the addition of cheekpieces saw him win a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh three weeks ago; only 2lb higher and he should give it another good go. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two good runs from two for this yard, particularly when finding just a very good yardstick and a next-time-out winner too strong over C&D first time; in the mix under Daniel Tudhope, especially if first-time cheekpieces give him a lift. |
4/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Disappointing during four-race spell over hurdles for an Irish stable this year but belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on third for new yard at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago; still well handicapped on older form and should be fine back at 1m; no surprise if he features. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and she has maintained her progress in 2026, winning four times over 1m1f on good ground; not at her best last time but foolish to think she won't continue progressing; unraced on faster than good. |
6/1 |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Four wins this year include a C&D success (Hostility second, Jewel Maker fourth) in May and when again making all to beat five others at Musselburgh (1m1f, also good) 12 days ago; creeping up the weights but she's gone back-to-back before and needs respecting. |

Has won three times on turf this year; ran as though feeling the effects of a busy spell when sixth of eight at Ripon (1m2f, good) last Wednesday and is 6lb higher than her last winning mark. |
