23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Five wins from 39 starts, the most recent coming at York (1m2f, good) last June off a 6lb higher mark than today's; well beaten in two starts since returning from his second wind operation and now has cheekpieces applied. |
14/1 |

Won a 17-runner C&D handicap for amateur riders last June (good) but didn't run as well again; having second run since a wind op but has a wide draw to overcome. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Closely matched with Jesmond Dawn on last month's runs at Ripon and it wasn't going to be easy in a Class 4 at York last time (33-1); this is more his level. |
10/1 |

7th 15 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives on a recent high after a win at Musselburgh and a second at Ripon (both 1m, good); should give his running but he's up in grade here. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Has run okay in pair of maidens here, over farther and shorter, but has probably got himself badly handicapped as a result; up against it here. |

Tailed-off in two bumpers but better runs in two AW maidens (1m-1m4f) either side of a poor run on heavy ground; hood added for handicap debut and can run well. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Plenty of defeats at short prices since her last victory, here almost two years ago; she's more than capable off this mark, though, if the first-time headgear does the trick in a winnable handicap. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 17 times since she last won, here (1m1f, good to soft) in September 2024; however, she's run a lot of good races in the meantime and was third of nine at Carlisle (1m, soft) recently; might not be far away. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Bounced back to form with win off much-reduced mark at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April and came second on his next two outings; not seen to best effect when held up in steadily run race at Chester last month, but has quickly dropped back to a workable mark; high on the list. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has a modest strike-rate for current yard but is technically unexposed over today's trip; creditable second at Musselburgh (12.5f) in May in sole attempt beyond 1m2f; could go well off bottom weight. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Irish; 0-12 overall and, after nearly a year off, well beaten on both starts for new stable (22-1 and 28-1); the positives are that she's down the weights and steps back up from 1m1f/1m for this AW debut. |
25/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish; 0-11; well beaten on stable debut at Carlisle nine days ago (1m1f, good) after nearly a year off but better can be expected today. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance. |
12/1 |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is a dual winner (including over C&D) here but his recent form is not so encouraging, just seventh of 13 in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 17 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
1-27 on Flat turf, the win coming on soft ground over 1m at Redcar in May 2024 (first-time hood); gave it a good go from the front when runner-up over this C&D last month but she failed to beat a rival home at Ayr (1m2f) two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ran well from out of the handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last week, poaching a big lead but reeled in close home; whether she can repeat that form in this bigger field remains to be seen. |
