Exposed maiden; down the field over C&D 17 days ago and she could prove vulnerable again; stable also run Stallone. |

16-race maiden but she's been threatening of late and 5f on Tapeta isn't an issue; one of two solid chances for Michael Dods. |

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

Out of form this season (four runs) and remains without a win since summer 2024; can't be recommended from out of the handicap. |
50/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have been over C&D (soft/good) but latest was in August 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been out of sorts in his three runs this season and needs a big turnaround; tongue-tie removed. |

Won twice over 5f at Ripon in 2024 but last year was a struggle and he's been beaten 11l and 13l in his two runs this season; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival with tongue-tie reapplied. |

Turf/AW winner who fared best of those who were handy when close up at Newcastle; went off favourite there and his turn looks near. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; the return to 6f didn't have a positive effect at Catterick last time but he had finished third on Tapeta on his penultimate start; others look safer. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Signed off last year in a fine run of form on the AW and has been knocking on the door this year, including on turf; this is a belated return to 6f but one to consider. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
3lb lower than when winning at Catterick in April (5f, good); mainly disappointing since, although was only 2l behind Barmyblade (5lb worse off) when third at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm); well drawn and a possible. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 (16) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner last summer; landed a 5f handicap at Catterick off a 2lb higher mark in April but he hasn't come close to replicating it in six runs since; capable if breaking on terms but he carries some risk. |
16/1 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at Catterick (5f) in April; below form since until hinting at a revival with fifth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap one week ago, despite being very slowly away; this C&D winner needs considering. |

Gained his fifth success when seeing off ten rivals over C&D (good) in May; only narrowly denied another at Thirsk (5f, good) last month but below par when 3l third of five at Nottingham latest. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth success when winning at Catterick (5f, good) last month off a 2lb lower mark than today's and he was narrowly denied at Thirsk (5f, good) nine days ago, bouncing back from a lesser effort; contender. |

2nd 10 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Resumed winning ways at Catterick (5f) in May but he was well below par when eighth of 12 over C&D 11 days ago; this C&D scorer is the sort to bounce back though; blinkers refitted. |

Scored at 80-1 to land a classified contest over C&D last July but ran poorly in handicaps subsequently; makes his first appearance of the year but hard to fancy. |

Without a win since June 2022; out of form last season and although those struggles have continued in four starts this year she wasn't too far away on Newcastle AW (6f; first-time cheekpieces, retained) ten days ago; needs more. |

9st 0lb |
Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track. |

9st 1lb |
Dual 5f Tapeta winner who achieved little in three runs over 6f-7f for Michael Appleby; has been inclined to hang left more than once and is some way down the pecking order for his new yard, having been picked up for just 1,000gns. |
