7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Useful for Richard Fahey, winning five times the latest of which was a 7f handicap in Qatar in November 2024; makes his debut for his new yard (gelded in the meantime) and, like his stablemate The Strikin Viking, whether he is on a favourable mark remains to be seen; the choice of James Doyle, though, so interesting to see what the market says. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who made it four wins from his six starts when scoring at Chester (6f, good) in July, and he's been a close third the next twice (6f/7f, good); won on debut on good to soft (unraced on softer); he could still have more to offer and may be in the shake-up this afternoon. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Highly tried after his novice win (5f, AW) last summer and came up short; absent since October (gelded soon after latest start) and others look more persuasive. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives. |

1st 8 (1) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won four races on turf last year and resumes after an unsuccessful stint on the AW, 2lb lower than when last successful; fascinating contender. |

24th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Out of the frame in first three starts, but was beaten less than 3l into fifth of nine at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; open to improvement on nursery debut, but it will be needed. |

Suffered some interference when down the field here last week but debatable what difference it made; stable probably has a better chance with Kings Merchant. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives on the crest of a wave having won four of her last five starts; a 4lb rise for her small-field Class 5 win at Ripon last month could just find her out here, though. |
13/2 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
5yo who has won three of her last four starts including a clearcut success over C&D (good) two weeks ago; up 7lb but that was a personal best last time and she seems versatile ground-wise; big player. |
6/4 |
|
1st 11 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't get the breaks at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but she pounced late to continue her consistent spell at Redcar (6f, good; from 3lb lower) subsequently, justifying favouritism; is well drawn in stall 12, so should have a positive role to play. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Still to register a victory but he arrives in good nick, third of five in 1m4f Newcastle handicap eight days ago; shortlisted off the same mark. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Maiden; not beaten too far when fifth of ten in 1m2f classified here in August and stamina for 1m4f never had a chance to be tested at Musselburgh since, as he was hampered when starting to move forward; likely needs more than he's shown so far, though. |

3rd 7 (6) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
