1st 3 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Ayr (1m2f) last April in a light campaign in 2025; back from 12 months off with an encouraging Ripon fifth but beat only one at Chester (1m4f) since; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Ayr wearing cheekpieces in April and it wasn't a bad effort when fifth at Ripon (again 1m2f, good) 16 days ago; concerning that the run in between came over this C&D when beaten 24l and said not to have been suited by the track, however. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C&D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
28-race maiden; second on Southwell Tapeta (1m6f) last October and bits of form since, but others have to be preferred. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
27-race maiden; has raced exclusively on AW since finishing remote last of nine to Max Of Stars at Thirsk (1m4f) last September; modest fourth (beaten 11l) to Yakhabar when last seen at Southwell in March; unappealing stablemate of Speechman. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times, including over C&D, in 2024; has built up a long losing sequence since but is an in-form contender, half-length second when favourite at Carlisle most recently; on an attractive mark and Jake Dickson takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not beaten far on his last three starts and it was a solid fifth of 14 in the 1m Carlisle Bell (first-time blinkers, retained) ten days ago; handicapped to be competitive again. |
5/1 |
|
5th 16 (10) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins came in 2024 over 1m2f (good/good to firm) but he was runner-up three times last season; fair effort at York last time and now has first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces now trying 1m for the first time since his debut. |

9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps for Denis Quinn since last June reads 5112151113, including two wins over C&D; ran right up to his best when third of 11 in an even stronger contest here five weeks ago; major player on first start for John Ryan (same owner) while Jack Dace is 1-1 on him. |

3rd 7 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 511215111; finished strongly from the rear to collar Qitaal (who finished third) near the line and shade a blanket finish over C&D last time; has to enter calculations again off only 2lb higher. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 51121511 including an emphatic win over C&D; off since winning by a nose at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in December and now 8lb higher, but still hard to leave him out of calculations. |
