A dual 5f turf winner in 2024 but she came in only seventh of ten back on the AW in 6f handicap here last month; she needs to take a step forward. |

Has form over 6f but her two wins, and three best RPRs, have come over 5f; wouldn't judge her too harshly on latest York run and she remains open to further progress; considered. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Six wins and five seconds from 17 AW runs; unplaced on turf on his last two starts and although this scenario will suit better, a few others look better handicapped. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |

It's now 21 starts since his last success but he comes here in good form, fourth of ten in 5f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; well in the mix. |
5/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing sequence but he got back on track in first-time blinkers (tongue-tie also back on) with third of ten in 5f Carlisle handicap 18 days ago; well in the mix off the same mark with headgear retained. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ended a long losing run when cosily making all in five-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) three weeks ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Scored twice (5f/6f) last May and took a step forward with third of seven in 6f Catterick handicap 20 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has inconsistent turf form (all 5f) but the pick of it, namely 2yo success and close second in June, gives her possibilities off current mark provided she takes well to AW. |

3yo who was beaten just a head on handicap debut over C&D in June (good to firm; unraced on slow ground); below that level at Hamilton and Doncaster the next twice but perhaps the return here can trigger a bigger effort. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in May and he was back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Tuesday, making virtually all under Jack Nicholls; yard continues in flying form and he's respected under a penalty. |

9st 7lb |
Scored at Redcar (6f) last May and signed off for 2025 with a good third of 13 over C&D in October; needs to hit the ground running after nine months off though. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Big question mark over current form, having failed to beat a rival in her last four runs, and she is 0-13 since winning her first couple of starts; drop in class needs to help. |
25/1 |

7th 5 (6) |
31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Her second to a handicap blot at Thirsk in June came off 5lb higher; she's run poorly on her last three starts though, looking a handful at Kempton 11 days ago. |

2 (1) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
ducked sharply left start, pulled hard, midfield, short of room and switched left after 2f, raced wide home turn, weakened quickly from 2f out |
