25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
On a handy mark on last summer's peak efforts for Hugo Palmer; ran some fair races in Dubai for new connections earlier in the year; others appeal a bit more for win purposes. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned mostly on good/firmer; record is only 1-11 but good seconds at Haydock (1m) and Chester (7.5f; cheekpieces applied) last month suggest his turn is near; one for the shortlist. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Looked one to follow prior to disappointing when favourite over C&D last September, and he confirmed the earlier impression with a stylish Zetland Gold Cup win at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May on return; raised 8lb but this unexposed and well-regarded 4yo may be able to take it in his stride. |
7/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Went back-to-back at Hamilton last season (1m1f, good; maiden/handicap) and unlikely that he gave his true running when a beaten favourite at York in September (1m2f); held a Cambridgeshire entry back then and he retains plenty of potential as a 4yo, especially at this trip (dam stayed well). |
8/1 |

6 (12) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Cambridgeshire entrant who is on a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m1f wins at Hamilton, accounting for a solid yardstick on handicap debut (good); could easily take a 5lb rise in his stride and today's extra distance is likely to suit (dam stayed well). |

3rd 17 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Has been headstrong in the past and he returned to form in a first-time hood (retained) with a close second of 16 over C&D (good) four weeks ago; today's company is tougher but he seems to like it here and remains well treated on last season's best efforts; due a 4lb rise; each-way chance. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner for Karl Burke who posted respectable sixths over 1m2f (including here) on first two starts of the year for this yard; raced freely when disappointing over a stiff 1m3f a fortnight ago and the return to this trip looks a positive; added hood may help too. |
16/1 |
|
10th 10 (11) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Respectable sixth over 1m2f both starts this year, the latter in a warm race at York when shaping as if worth another try over 1m3f+; gets that here and has each-way hopes. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins last summer and he showed spark as recently as this April; he's dropped to a dangerous mark but has failed to shine on his last three outings and arrives with something to prove. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well treated on the form he showed last August, including win at Haydock and close third at the York Ebor festival; absent since finishing rather tamely over C&D two months ago. |
