6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Below best at the end of last season and also well held on 7f Catterick reappearance, taking her record to 0-13; a subsequent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Below best at the end of last season and she's 0-12; wears a first-time hood for this return, having worn blinkers then cheekpieces on final two runs last term; on a handy mark on last season's best efforts (including over C&D) and she's not discounted. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Game effort to win a 5f handicap at Thirsk (good ground) last month; dropped away having made the running at Newcastle 13 days ago; has run well at Carlisle before but over 5f and this test might be stiffer than ideal. |
12/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Course winner (6f); arrives having been in good form, seeing off her 11 rivals at Thirsk (5f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another solid effort. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ex-Jack Jones (bought for 3,600gns in April); all three wins have been on AW; fair run on stable debut when seventh over 6f at Thirsk (good); well drawn and could go well on a rare run at 5f (races mainly at 6f). |

Won twice for Jack Jones, both times over 6f at Wolverhampton; hung right and weakened when last in action at Southwell (5f) ten weeks ago; changed hands for 3,600gns since; best watched on stable debut. |

10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when causing 28-1 surprise on AW in February (6f) but absent since running as though something was amiss the following month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; not the percentage call on first turf start since summer 2024. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Returned to form out of the blue when winning a C&D handicap last month (tongue tied first time); fair effort at Southwell (5f) one week later and he will be happier back up in distance. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins over 5f/6f last season; back to winning ways at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces back on); not ideally drawn but a contender off 4lb higher. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (15) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three sprint handicaps last spring and he is now 9lb lower than for the last of them; 2026 had been a struggle until he emerged from the doldrums with a good second at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; now has something to build on. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win from his 22 starts and merely mid-division at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last time in first-time blinkers (retained); however, he's twice finished runner-up this season and is not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 21 attempts but he has finished second in two of his three runs this year and is still on a workable mark; new blinkers could spark something extra (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces) and he's more appealing than many. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Disappointing filly who suffered heavy defeat over 1m on Tapeta on latest outing in January; reverts to sprinting with a lot to prove. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8; went close in a Dundalk maiden (7f, Polytrack) a year ago, but hasn't matched that form in six starts since returning in May including three for this yard; tongue-tie is given a go, but enough to prove; stable also runs Pit Boss. |

Betting Forcast
13/2 Highfield Sunshine, 9/4 Miss Rainbow, 14/1 Woodhay Whisper, 20/1 Howzak, 7/2 Barmyblade, 3/1 Mister Sky Blue, 5/1 Wait For It
Verdict
The greatest solidity is with MISS RAINBOW and Barmyblade who hold the strongest claims on form shown this summer and are the only course winners in this field. Mister Sky Blue is third choice.[Steve Boow]
