16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has moved in the right direction on AW since returning from lengthy layoff but the form suggests he doesn't retain peak ability; the 8yo is the oldest contender back on turf. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Second run back from a long break (C&D) was better than the first; on a good mark if able to take another step forward. |

Smart sprint handicapper but off for 13 months after finishing third over C&D on New Year's Day 2025 and always behind on his Chelmsford comeback 26 days ago; needs to have come on a lot. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 22 races to February 2024; however, he's often run well in the interim and he's been given a bit of help from the handicapper ahead of this reappearance; can be in the mix if fully tuned up. |

8th 11 (9) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
5yo whose 31 starts have been at 5f-7f and his losing spell goes back to February 2024; however, he's run many big races in the interim, most recently at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in August when finishing strongly for a share of third, and on that evidence this first crack at 1m is well worth a go. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins for this yard include a soft-ground success at Doncaster just under a year ago; went close at Pontefract in June and the door opened again when getting up late at Newcastle (again 5f, AW) last Thursday; hasn't won off a mark this high since 2022 but it's not hard to see him going well on his first visit to Beverley. |

1st 4 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

C&D win off 1lb higher last November; retains all his ability as a 7yo and he is a major player back on Tapeta. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Probably best at 5f and went down by only a head at Pontefract five weeks ago; had previously shaped well when fifth in a big field on this course; trainer has won this race three times in the last eight seasons and Johnny Burke looks a positive jockey booking. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Landed his fifth win at this venue when scoring on the turf track (5f, good to firm) in May; has held his form since, apart from when his saddle slipped at Windsor, and holds place prospects at least. |
3/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

5th 8 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away. |

31st May 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Established trailblazer who is 4-14 over C&D and looked to be on the way back when third of nine at Musselburgh (5f, good) at the start of the month; didn't back it up at York (5f, good to firm) next time but this is weaker; best watched for now. |

8st 4lb |
Ran away with this race in 2022 and went on to show smart form on both turf and AW in the next 12 months; not stood a lot of racing since but he showed he retained ability at Musselburgh 13 days ago; this is a much stronger contest but he couldn't be discounted with confidence. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though. |
25/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract. |
5/1 |

13th 1 (16) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected. |

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

Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

4lb higher than for his win in this race 12 months ago, after which he went on to score at Glorious Goodwood; fine return to action (after wind surgery) at Thirsk in May but no progress in two subsequent runs; Warren Fentiman back on board now dropping in class; high on the list. |
