25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
He has run well over C&D in the past and he arrives in fine form, winning 5f handicaps at Haydock and Carlisle (soft/good to soft) this summer; the 5lb rise is less of a concern than either his draw in stall 22 or the forecast faster ground. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had his ideal conditions when gaining his fourth win at Haydock last month (5f, soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; solid third of 20 off this 5lb higher mark at York last time (5f, good; fifth has won since); stall 2 perhaps not ideal but one with a chance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

3rd 2 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 1lb higher; also good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and better than eighth of 11 might suggest at Beverley ten days later, fading late after racing too keenly; Mason Paetel has won on him before; runner-up once from two outings over C&D and enters calculations. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who ran creditably (1l third) at Pontefract on reappearance and may well build on that effort; 2-2 at Ripon (maiden/novice events) during his first season last year and warrants respect back here. |
2/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Completed a Ripon double last summer prior to showing no progress in two starts upon entering handicaps; unlikely to defy top weight on seasonal debut unless he comes back better as a 4yo. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner off this mark on soft ground (also won on good to firm) last autumn; his recent efforts have been no more than respectable but he's nicely handicapped back at venue which suits. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Form at Pontefract features two wins last term and a close second during a consistent spell this spring; however, finished almost 6l behind Rock Opera here last time and has work to do to reverse those placings. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Bagged a remarkable 11th C&D success in June; only sixth of eight in 7f Musselburgh handicap 11 days ago but no surprise to see her bounce back here. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Has run well over C&D in the past but Hamilton is her spiritual home and she has added another two wins at that venue this summer, the latest a comfortable front-running success (6f, good to firm) in Class 6 company five days ago; 5lb higher over an extra furlong on a different track and in a higher grade so this may not be her day. |
