20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Ended a losing run at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May; not so good since and others are more persuasive ahead of his AW debut. |

Back to winning ways with his Class 5 win at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May; respectable efforts twice since but he would be more appealing on slower ground. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Chester (5f, good) last month off a 6lb lower mark than today's and ran well there under a more patient ride next time; has form figures off 213 when ridden by Myla Coppins and has to enter calculations. |

Made all from stall 2 here a fortnight ago under Myla Coppins; she's up in class and the weights (raised 6lb), while stall 7 isn't absolutely ideal. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling. |

5th 2 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Not that easy to win with (2-27 on turf) but is a C&D winner (good to soft) and has run creditably when third over C&D on last two starts (closely matched with Montezuma on last week's run); a possible |

31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

C&D winner; it has been a while since his latest success but he has slipped down the weights and both this year's C&D runs (in deeper races) were encouraging; can go well fresh and a big run is on the cards. |

His career win number six when making all and repelling Moulin Booj on recent stable debut over C&D; likely to win more races; up 4lb. |

1st 7 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on this winter's AW form but he has gone off the boil more recently; given a chance by the handicapper as a consequence and he needs a market check starting out for Ruth Carr (sold out of David Loughnane's stable for 22,000gns last month). |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |
14/1 |

10th 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine in 5f Sandown handicap in June; that form has worked out well, so this veteran is a likely player after another break. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran; all 12 wins have been over 5f and is ideally suited by plenty of give in the ground; hasn't been out since Doncaster win in March (5f, good to soft); has plenty in his favour and should go well again. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Listed runner-up here last October and he's well treated on that form but he's been a long way below that level on his six outings this season (three of them here); a major turnaround is necessary. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

2yo Listed runner-up last October; fourth of seven on stable debut at Chester (6f, good) nine days ago, which was a step back in the right direction, but he needs another today if he's to pose a serious threat. |

9st 8lb |
Runner-up off 2lb higher at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in June; respectable fifth (Castan sixth) of 12 at Thirsk (5f, good) 12 days ago; enters calculations for last year's winning yard. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; below par in a big field at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but plenty of form this season that makes him of interest; Jack Callan's claim a bonus; one to consider back at 5f. |

9st 9lb |
First win in 6f novice here in May; got back on track (in a change of headgear) with third of five in 5f Ripon handicap 11 days ago; blinkers (used on previous three starts) are refitted but she needs considering. |
4/1 |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Made all in a novice at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in May in first-time blinkers; merely seventh subsequently in her first two handicaps (7f/6f, good to firm) but she showed plenty of pace over 6f at Carlisle on the second occasion and could relish this first crack at 5f; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

9st 12lb |
Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |
