10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Newcastle in February off a 1lb lower mark; beaten 1l when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April and his last two efforts have been respectable; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

Grand stable servant who wins in his turn; successful at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February and has made the frame back on turf on his last two starts; place claims once again. |

Second in the 2024 running of this; nine wins include five on turf, all around this trip on a sound surface; won at Newcastle (AW) in February and it was a fine effort from the widest stall when second of 14 at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) 11 days ago; big shout. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
1m4f wins at Doncaster (good) and here (good to firm) for new yard this summer; he has come up short in stronger company on his last two starts but holds good claims back in a Class 6. |
9/4 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
2-6 for this yard but both wins were at 1m4f at Class 6 level; looks worth taking on, for all that his last race on the AW didn't go entirely to plan. |
20/1 |

5th 11 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Has made a bright start for his current yard and made it two wins from his last three runs in 1m4f handicap at Beverley two days ago; also took this in 2024, so he's a player under a 4lb penalty. |

Formerly useful veteran who's missed a couple of chunks of his career and been on the downgrade in recent times; has been running over further this year and is tried in another different form of headgear tonight. |

9st 6lb |
Two wins last season, the first a dead-heat over C&D in July (good to firm); rather patchy form this season, best run when third at Pontefract in April (1m, good); a possible on second run back after wind op. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |

Had wind surgery (his third) since last run; form at Pontefract features a success last August (off 2lb higher; one of three wins under Charli Parker) and best effort this season; record of 0-19 when racing above Class 6 is the negative. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf. |

9st 6lb |
Win and a close second to his name from four runs over C&D and returns to Tapeta on a career-low mark following a patchy turf campaign; can pull hard and will need some luck from a wide stall in first-time cheekpieces but he's potentially well treated. |

Best effort when third of six at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but not built on it since (including four starts for this yard) and now 0-12; needs the addition of a tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

9st 9lb |
14-race maiden; best British effort came here in February, when 2l second over C&D; that form would probably be good enough to win this but he's not been as good since on either turf or AW; still entitled to each-way claims after another 2lb drop. |

Fair fourth of 14 at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last December on second 2yo start and rallied for 7l third of nine in Thirsk maiden (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; ran okay in fourth on subsequent hurdle debut; begins handicap life on a realistic mark and this trip could be ideal; a possible. |

Consistent on the Flat (0-3); rallied after being outpaced on return to action at Thirsk (1m, maiden; third, beaten 7l) last week; dam was a sprinter, which raises some concerns, but interesting to see how he copes with a quick switch to hurdles; noteworthy. |

Sole success in 14 starts came off 9lb higher at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year; hasn't shown much in five starts since returning from eight months off in June and another 3lb drop not enough to tempt; can take a keen hold. |
