1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
It took him 17 attempts to put his head in front, finally opening his account in a 6f maiden at Newcastle in March; solid second in a 6f Southwell handicap one month later; absent for 81 days and although he isn't on a bad mark, he does have to prove his stamina for 7f. |

2nd 3 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats before finally off the mark on his seventeenth start in a Newcastle maiden a few weeks ago; hard to know the merits of that but he returns to handicap company on a workable mark and confidence will have been boosted. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed four-time winner; has run a number of good races this season and Doncaster last time was one of those, as he did well to finish so close after missing the break; not without hope. |
12/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; despite the stable's poor year he has run a string of fine races in 2026, including when a close fifth of 22 in a Class 4 at York three weeks ago; shouldn't be far away. |

9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice over 7f this time last year for Mick Appleby and is 8lb lower than when successful at Ascot on the second occasion, but six starts for this yard so far this year leave plenty to be desired; others safer. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time winner who acts on most surfaces and was very consistent on turf (6f/7f) last term; opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race over C&D (good to soft) under Amy Collier last month; not far off that form when fourth off this mark a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways in 6f Carlisle handicap 11 days ago, cosily making all; up 4lb but this dual course scorer must enter calculations. |

Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) last May when 8lb higher but failed to hit the same heights for the remainder of last season and she's been well beaten on both outings this term. |
