15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on this year's best, including a close fourth over C&D in April; has had the odd excuse since and he ran perfectly well over an inadequate 5f at York three weeks ago (not well drawn); a big run could be on the cards. |
12/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
4lb lower than for his last two 6f wins but recent efforts have been underwhelming and he's unproven over the minimum trip. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Drawn wide when down the field at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time; his earlier 6f form brings him right into the reckoning and rain would be a positive; solid chance. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 0-5 this term for new yard but has been working her way into form, including over C&D; not dismissed off current mark. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Caught the eye dropped to a 0-70 for the first time at Kempton (6f) four weeks ago, beaten only just over 2l despite being repeatedly denied a clear run; the return to 7f should help if anything and Patrick Chamings is among the winners so there are reasons to be hopeful. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

She has slipped down the weights and there was more encouragement to be gleaned from her Goodwood fifth last month (7f, soft); drops in class today and Jim Crowley is booked; interesting. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Ripon (6f) in September but yet to hit top form in four runs this season, beating only one back there (6f) 13 days ago; mark is plummeting but he still needs to take a step forward. |
25/1 |
|
13th 9 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His record over C&D reads 121 and he has slipped to a dangerous mark after three low-key runs in 2026; looks the type to revive soon but perhaps when faced with slower ground than he'll encounter today. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
He's failed to shine on both starts this season but is on a handy mark on last season's best form and is likely to get back on track sooner or later; today's drop back in grade could help in that regard. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing run; ran on late for fourth at Redcar 13 days ago but the wait for a first AW success looks set to continue. |
13/2 |

4th 4 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2024 but he comes here in good nick, not seen to ideal effect when ninth of 12 in 6f Southwell AW handicap last month when racing wide; of some interest off a 3lb lower mark with yard going very well. |
6/1 |

9th 6 (12) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Found the drop to 5f against him last time (Tapeta), following a slow start, in a Newcastle handicap in which the leaders didn't come back; become very hit and miss but a case could be made dropped 2lb. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No threat to the easy winner but his staying-on second at Carlisle three weeks ago was still a fair effort; conditions shouldn't be an issue but others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Placed twice off higher marks this spring, latterly when third over nearly 7f here (good) in May; safely held twice since, though, (7f/1m) and reverts to sprinting with a bit to prove. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten at Redcar (7f, good) a fortnight ago, so his losing run continues, but he was in good heart previously and kept on well when making the frame at Ayr (7f, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good); this first crack at 1m is worth a go and he's not ruled out each-way. |

Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

8lb lower than when beaten a head in a division of this last year; missed the kick here two weeks ago but nothing finished better and he looks ready to win again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 13 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Went close in a C&D handicap last July when rated 8lb higher; he has run some fair races in defeat this summer and shouldn't be too far away. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Latest effort suggests he remains in form; still on a long losing sequence but looked an unlucky third, having been forced to switch, over C&D on penultimate start; possibilities off same mark. |
5/1 |
