1st 6 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Irish raider; ran far better than finishing position suggests (pecked badly at second-last) over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f) a fortnight ago; cosy Flat winner at Limerick (1m4f, yielding) in April and needs respecting at this basement level. |
9/2 |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 10lb |
Three-time Flat winner is yet to score from six runs over hurdles; third at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in May was his best placing; okay efforts over fences and on the Flat since then; chance. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-5; better since joining this trainer, twice placed over 1m here (Class 6); run style wouldn't suggest he's the most obvious candidate for 1m2f, but pedigree does offer hope; still open to improvement; isn't discounted. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 11 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Soundly beaten all three 2yo starts (6f-7f) but placed behind Hunterian over C&D (soft) when upped in trip for recent seasonal/stable/handicap debut; still unexposed and will be dangerous if that run brought him on. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Showed nothing more than glimmers of promise in three novice races for Gary Rutherford last year (6f-7f) but makes seasonal/stable/handicap debut from a basement mark and is worth a glance in the betting. |

9st 9lb |
1-25; keeping reasonable form over further until a low-key effort at Musselburgh (1m5f, good) last week; dropping back to 1m2f is helpful (was third in this last year) but others still make more appeal. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just one win (1m2f, AW) from his 24 starts but he arrives in good form, runner-up in three of his last four starts; should give his running once again. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well backed and returned to form when winning classified event at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last week; that was steadily run but he was an emphatic winner; every chance if able to reproduce equivalent level on turf (0-9); stablemate of Sassy Glory. |
5/2 |

1st 8 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Made a successful reappearance in a similar contest over C&D in March; placed only once in five in handicaps since, but respected back in this company. |
4/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up (beaten over 4l) in this last year, but yet to win on turf (0-17); gamely fended off the frustrating Little Ted at Newcastle (1m; 11-2) on penultimate start, but reportedly ran flat back there on latest; stable have more obvious chance with Wicklow Way. |
8/1 |
|
12th 5 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Held on gamely to make all in 1m handicap here last month and is now 2-31; evidently in good nick but this drop back in trip is not sure to suit. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-30, the win over C&D from a similar mark last September; lost out in a tight finish to a stablemate of Woodleigh at Beverley (1m2f, good; 4-1) last week; no reason why she shouldn't take the swift turnaround in her stride; possible. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
12-race maiden; placed over this trip at Beverley (beaten 3l) in June but disappointing since, beaten nearly 50l (last of seven) over 1m4f at Pontefract latest; focus elsewhere. |
50/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to get her head in front and she was tried in cheekpieces when sixth of eight in 1m4f handicap at Ripon 11 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-race maiden; rallied for respectable third upped to 1m2f at Beverley most recently, leaving the impression she'll benefit from tonight's even longer distance and return of headgear (namely first-time cheekpieces); shortlisted. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran (5-81) stablemate of Zebra Star; respectable third over 1m here (good to firm) in July, but could make only minimal inroads over C&D (fifth; 22-1) latest; this is a slightly easier task. |
18/1 |
|
5th 12 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Musselburgh win (1m, good) last September but he hasn't posed a serious threat this season and was well held over C&D last Monday; needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran with plenty of course form to his name; third of nine over 1m here last week (winner Runninsonofagun runs in the 4.00); one of three runners for the stable. |

9st 9lb |
1-18, that win in a newly applied visor here (1m, good to soft; 16-1) last July; finished sixth behind Golden Valour on return from six-month break over C&D latest; could strip fitter. |
25/1 |
|
6th 11 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won a classified event here (1m, good to soft) last July and reached the frame in his next five starts; looks interesting on that form but he lost his way during the winter and has bit to prove after 198 days off. |
33/1 |
|
14th 5 (12) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account. |

Dual course winner, the most recent over this trip (Class 6, good to soft) over a year ago; no obvious excuses (form figures 9549) in 2026, but does have a capable 5lb claimer aboard, and further rain could assist; stablemate of Golden Valour. |

9th 7 (4) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Scored over C&D last July and she got back on track with fourth of nine over C&D 16 days ago, despite going very freely; one to consider. |

9st 1lb |
Failed to win for William Knight (0-7), beaten at odds-on at Yarmouth (1m2f classified) on final start for that trainer; visor (worn twice) has yielded some improvement; wise to monitor this 7,000gns purchase on stable debut. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-6 but he found improvement upped to 1m2f when runner-up in a classified event at Lingfield (good; first-time visor) last week; that was behind a rival who was completing a four-timer and he's a big player if he can build on that. |
2/1 |

18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten a long way in five starts over 7f/1m on turf/AW; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; needs to take a big step forward on this step up in trip. |

Ten-race maiden; fourth (not far behind Falaise Blanc) at Musselburgh (12.5f; 33-1) in June, but weakened over C&D (raced keenly) subsequently; level of competition suitable, but others are easier to recommend. |

Yet to win (0-8) and not many positives to take from latest C&D effort; Mulrennan takes the ride aboard this stablemate of Storm On Jura; opposable. |

7th 10 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Hasn't offered much in his six runs at up to 1m1f, beating only one in 1m Musselburgh handicap 13 days ago; in good hands but lots more is required; seventh 6:39 Carlisle Saturday. |
