12th 12 (11) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Led late when beating Sergeant Wilko at Thirsk last month and he had a few of today's rivals in behind when second at Chester four weeks ago; another solid effort at York a fortnight ago but he has to prove his effectiveness on AW. |
10/1 |
|
6th 12 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third stable start and close second at Chester (7f, good) subsequently; won here in September 2024 on sole previous course visit and this in-form 4yo could again be thereabouts. |
10/1 |

2nd 12 (8) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
7f winner last August on good ground off 6lb higher so has to be of interest after returning to form with a second at Carlisle (7f, soft), which was his best run yet for this yard. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Far from convincing on his efforts this term for new yard, latest back at Carlisle, but looks a plausible danger provided he revives; defied a 7lb higher mark over C&D last August (sole win). |
11/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 3lb
|
Sole success came over C&D from 4lb higher last August when trained by Stella Barclay, but regressive in the meantime including in three starts since returning for this yard last month; best watched. |

1st 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer who has run two good races at Hamilton (6f, good and 5f, good to soft) this season; unraced on faster than good but a key player if underfoot conditions are suitable. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't run a bad race here for the Quinns and he turned in another solid effort at Hamilton when a close third of 13 in a 6f handicap (good ground) on last month's reappearance; has a belated first attempt at 5f today and he should give it another good go. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fair record here for the Quinn yard; made a successful debut for his current trainer off 2lb lower last September but will need to be spot on as he returns from more than six months off. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's 1lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September and is also effective on turf; however, following a break he's finished down the field on grass on his last two starts; has to get back on track. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
AW winner for Richard Fahey (7f); well beaten on stable debut after a break on turf at Lingfield last month (7f, good) but should come on for the outing; first run on soft ground. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark with a front-running win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in September, his final start for Richard Fahey; three fair efforts for his new yard but needs to reproduce his best on turf following a five-month break. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f maiden here in June of his 2yo season but that remains his only win; unlikely to be breaking his handicap duck from stall 12. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor. |
9/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sole success came at Lingfield last September off 1lb higher; has ran well in three of his six runs this year, latest when third of five over 5f here last week (first-time cheekpieces, retained); not far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well for second over 6f here in April; two heavy defeats followed and although he ran a bit better at Lingfield last time, he was over 2l behind Shalaa Asker; now tried in another new form of headgear. |
11/4 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden; two poor efforts of late, with and without a hood, but he ran well for a long way behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and is worth another go at 5f; first-time blinkers today. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
0-11 and although fully effective on AW, he isn't progressing; blinkers now tried having run in cheekpieces over C&D last week; each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-10; placed here (6f) in April for Charles Hills; favourite here (6f) on debut for this trainer last month, weakening into fourth; drops 2lb and cheekpieces now tried as he goes back up in trip; enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Only 3l behind Time For Sandals over C&D last summer; had just one AW run since, when failing to reward strong market support over C&D in April (finished third off an 11lb higher mark); subsequent turf efforts easy enough to forgive and he makes his stable debut (same owners) off a tempting mark; could be an AW specialist and he's of some interest. |
