Two turf wins (in blinkers/cheekpieces) for previous yard; ran poorly, minus headgear, on debut for new stable but may rebound with visor now applied; not disgraced in sole AW attempt. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner off this mark on soft ground (also won on good to firm) last autumn; his recent efforts have been no more than respectable but he's nicely handicapped back at venue which suits. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Form at Pontefract features two wins last term and a close second during a consistent spell this spring; however, finished almost 6l behind Rock Opera here last time and has work to do to reverse those placings. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |
|
5 (6) |
14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
5 (5) |
26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Now 10lb below the mark he defied over C&D last June but recent efforts don't obviously suggest he's ready to take advantage. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from 21 starts and that was in a maiden in August 2024; has dropped a long way in the weights but he generally struggled for Nigel Tinkler last year and was last of ten on recent stable debut at Newcastle (7f, AW); visor is now added. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal. |
33/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; best effort this year came over C&D two weeks ago but he enjoyed a clear run while several of those in behind got in each other's way; more needed to win. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Notched her third Catterick win (6f, good) in April, since when she's been a bit below par with three fourth places; handles the 5f course here but needs a revival. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (13) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Notched her third Catterick win, fending off Moostar there (6f, good; from 2lb lower) in early April; dropped back to 5f, she has twice finished fourth since, beaten nearly 7l at Carlisle over a fortnight ago; rain would be no major concern, but others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all handicap wins at Catterick/Pontefract and those two tracks have been the scene of her last two runs (finished first then fourth); makes first visit to Carlisle. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In good form on AW over the winter, winning at Wolverhampton (6f) and Lingfield (7f); 1lb lower than for the latter win but she hasn't maintained her form back on turf this summer, including behind Velvet Rhythm over C&D 16 days ago. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
1-21 on turf and showed only modest form on her last two starts at Thirsk and Carlisle last month; all headgear removed and hard to fancy. |
8/1 |
|
8th 5 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Two narrow AW wins at 6f and 7f over the winter months; never involved back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently and although this is less competitive her stamina for a tough 7f like this still has to be proved. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Punished for his win in a weak C&D maiden last November and the handicapper has been in command this year; more realistically treated again now but this won't be an easy race in which to try and dominate. |
16/1 |
|
9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Limited impact in handicaps since winning a four-runner C&D maiden in November and he let his many supporters down when flopping on return visit here last time; continues to fall down the weights so interesting to see if his backers return. |
