4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ex-French filly who won on last summer's British debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); launched this campaign with two perfectly respectable runs, the latter over C&D, but others have more pressing claims all the same. |
16/1 |

Yet to kick on from her impressive winning stable debut last summer but she didn't run badly in a big-field handicap at Doncaster four weeks ago and that run should have tightened her up; could yet rate higher. |

Three wins at Catterick this spring (7f/6f, good); reportedly never travelling when below par there at the end of May and has had a break since; runner-up here in 2024 on sole previous Haydock visit; not ruled out. |

10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |

9st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Handles all surfaces; many good runs on turf over the last year, making all in first-time blinkers here (1m, good to firm) in July and two solid efforts since; headgear left off now tackling 7f for the first time since 2yo days in Ireland but has another good run in him. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Not totally straightforward but in good form since blinkers went on and off the mark for this yard when scoring in them over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); close third off this 5lb higher mark over C&D last week and this looks easier; should go well again. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Sole win in 7f AW maiden at Dundalk as 3yo; slightly frustrating for this yard as he's been involved in some tight finishes for them, including in this race last year and when just behind Supreme Clarets at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in July, but fitting blinkers could help; solid chance, if so. |

Won a 7f Dundalk maiden on his second start but beaten 14 times since; went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month though and a subsequent lesser effort can be partially excused by him getting upset in the stalls. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual 6f winner in Ireland; 0-8 for this yard but he wasn't beaten far despite finishing fifth of six at Hamilton (6f, good to soft; acts on quicker) last month; mark continues to come down and that latest effort suggested he may be rediscovering his level; possibilities. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

A fair 6f scorer in Ireland last spring for Daniel Murphy; made a promising start for current yard with second at Lingfield (6f) in January but he's failed to build on it, a below-par fourth of seven back at Lingfield (6f) last time. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained all five wins over 7f; went close over that trip in Class 6 event at regular haunt Catterick (good to firm) last month but went up 2lb for that and looks vulnerable over 1m in this stronger race. |
16/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time C&D winner (twice on soft, once on good to firm); runner-up over C&D on first two starts this season (good); also a good third here two runs back but ran poorly latest, on his first run on good to firm this season; perhaps ideally suited by softer nowadays. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |
15/2 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |
