14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Has won six times on the AW, but 0-15 on turf; creditable second at Wetherby two runs back (5.5f, good to firm) but well beaten last time (6f). |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Back in better form (over 5f/5.5f) this month, winning AW classified event then solid second (behind a rival who was on the middle leg of hat-trick) in Wetherby handicap; has won over 6f; 0-14 on turf but holds a fighting chance. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner down the years but is 0-7 this term and her form has declined to some degree, as current mark reflects; drops back to Class 6 for the first time in a while. |

Only fifth in a field of six last week at Nottingham, but was close up behind Spirit Of Applause and that represented some return to form. |

9st 3lb |
C&D winner who returned to form when third at Ripon (5f, good) in May and is 5lb lower today; however, this 7yo has struggled on both starts since and has something to prove. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 15 attempts; latest Thirsk fourth (6f, good to firm) as good as anything he's produced on the grass but may find at least the odd one too strong again. |
7/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on final outing; 0-13 on turf and never a factor on reappearance (66-1); others appeal more. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |

Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

8th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One-time useful sprinter but his powers are on the wane; showed he could still cut it at this level when a close fourth over C&D last month but he'll need the pace to collapse if he's to end his barren spell. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |

Three-time course scorer; on a long losing sequence but holds a good chance off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time visor; has won in cheekpieces. |

Quite lightly raced for his age but has not shown a great deal in his four starts for this stable (6f-7f) and needs to turn a corner. |

Lost his way over the last couple of years but recent return on AW (6f) wasn't devoid of promise; mixed record at 1m but down to a good mark. |
