6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account. |

2nd 5 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He's on a reduced mark and his yard is going well; however, he had a patchy campaign last season and was soundly beaten in April on his sole run this year (pulled hard on that stable debut); others have less to prove. |
10/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has won twice on good ground but other seven wins have been on good to soft/soft; had his ground when third at Nottingham two runs back, and not beaten far when seventh at Thirsk last week (5f, good); on a good mark but needs rain not sun. |
5/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives in good nick without winning this season, third of six in 5f Nottingham handicap five days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his first four starts but his losing run is up to 15 and he was short of his best in three runs early in the year; sold for 5,000gns in February and new yard quick to get him back sprinting; worth a market check off his reduced mark. |
12/1 |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Dual 5f turf winner; would have each-way claims if able to reproduce his Newcastle effort from three starts ago but has taken a couple of backward steps since. |
9/2 |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 5f, on good to firm and soft; on a good mark now and he has run creditably over 6f but might prefer an easier test at the trip than this, especially with the ground having eased. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ran respectably over 6f at Yarmouth (stable debut) last time; gained his sole handicap success off current mark; possibilities if proving as effective back at 7f. |
10/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner who won a maiden on soft ground at Redcar for Karl Burke last May; patchy form since winning a Wolverhampton handicap (also 6f, AW) in March and he left George Boughey for 17,000gns after trailing in last of five at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie/blinkers) in July; headgear removed for this stable debut. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Run over various distances of late and the experimenting continues, with cheekpieces replaced by a first-time tongue-tie and first-time blinkers; achieved little in three runs on fast turf, so comes with risks attached. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A three-time winner (including over C&D) here who got back on track when third of nine over C&D six days ago; goes well on soft ground, so this veteran is in the mix, especially if the rain comes. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Underwhelming on his three starts since promising reappearance run at Doncaster in March; however, he has a strong record at Hamilton and is running here for the first time this season; slow ground would be a positive. |
