3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on. |
10/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

Losing run is mounting up but he has proved broadly consistent since last success, most recently beating all bar the market leader at Musselburgh (7f, good); again has place possibilities. |

11th Oct 2022 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five course wins in the last 12 months, including over C&D 18 days ago when looking to have something up his sleeve (front two pulled clear); 4lb rise unlikely to prevent another big run. |

9st 8lb |
Dual turf winner for David O'Meara and twice ran with credit at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) a year ago, but five efforts on turf for this yard since April leave plenty to be desired; best watched for now. |
33/1 |
|
11th 6 (10) |

Hasn't won since 2023 but went close when beaten a neck over C&D (good to firm) last month; first run in a classified and should go close. |
7/2 |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

8th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Just one win to his name from 19 starts (1m, good) and he finished well beaten at Southwell when last seen eight weeks ago; some promise on soft in April and this is a drop in class; others still look safer though. |
14/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Put in pretty good front-running shift when sixth of 15 at Pontefract (1m, soft) two months ago and is on a workable mark for today's AW return but it's over two years since his only win and others appeal more. |

21st Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time C&D winner (the latest last May) who scored at Redcar last November; however, this 9yo has been tailed off over C&D on both outings this season and a dramatic turnaround is needed. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |

12th 9 (6) |
12th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Improved for his first run last season but won this two years ago on his reappearance (good to firm); last season ended with a win at Redcar (1m, heavy) and this four-time C&D winner could play a leading role if ready to rumble on his comeback. |

9th 11 (12) |
18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Wins here if anywhere, and his most recent success of May 2022 was gained in a C&D 0-75 off 3lb higher (good); needs to put a below-par effort at Ripon last month behind him, but that's not impossible. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (4) |
10th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has gained both wins at Thirsk; made the frame there (soft/good to firm) in two of last three outings; placed off 3lb higher on sole attempt here, so looks difficult to dismiss. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and hasn't prevailed in this sphere since York success three years ago; midfield when the 125-1 rank outsider back here last time. |
66/1 |
|
10th 8 (21) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been operating below his best since; drawn widest and likely best to look elsewhere. |

4th 4 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11yo who made virtually all to win at Southwell (7f, AW) in April; unplaced on both starts since but he failed to settle and was denied a clear run here on the first occasion; has won here three times; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who gamely made all at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, his 12th win; only 1lb higher here and did pretty well to finish fifth at Catterick (7f, good) last month, given he pulled hard in the early stages (not a regular trait) and was denied a clear run; considered. |
9/2 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; game AW winner at Southwell (7f; 6-1) recently; 1lb rise looks fair and he's still 5lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) last August; no reason why he shouldn't be thereabouts. |

12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

On a three-year losing spell and his record for current yard is far from convincing; best watched unless the market suggests a bigger run is expected. |
33/1 |
|
16th 7 (19) |
20th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Had form in much better 6f races than this for previous yard but out of sorts for new connections in 2022; has slipped right down the weights, however, and interesting to see if there are any signs of a revival. |
33/1 |
|
17th 8 (5) |
1st Nov 2022 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two of his first four starts (5f/6f, including on soft) when with Roger Varian, the latter earning him an RPR of 99; way below that level in five starts for this trainer and plenty to prove over this far. |

Won over 6f and 1m for Eve Johnson Houghton but was sold on for 5,500gns and he finished tailed off on his debut for this yard at Thirsk on the back of a long absence. |
25/1 |
|
12th 8 (2) |
12th Aug 2022 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

awkward start, midfield on inner, pushed along and struggling from 3f out, soon beaten, eased from 1f out |
