4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Placed on first two starts of the season (6f, good) and another big performance when 3l fourth of 20 at York (6f, good) last time, which was his third quick run in succession in May; can go well for bang-in-form yard. |
5/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Second to Kats Bob over C&D (good to firm) last year off 3lb higher; has resumed in good form this spring, following Chester near miss with a close second of 13 to reopposing Mae Amor at Hamilton (6f, good) last Sunday; obvious chance off the same mark; second-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Stays 1m and two of his three wins came over 7f but a good test over this trip is fine; at his best last year around this time and resumed with a solid effort as favourite at Chester nine days ago (behind The Good Biscuit); will rightly be popular. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reappeared with a win at Catterick (6f, good) in April and then made all at Epsom (6f, good) this month; his stable is a dab hand when it comes to older horses progressing through the ranks and, with the Epsom form having been franked, a 3lb rise could prove lenient for this thriving 5yo. |

1st 6 (1) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time winner who improved last year and was better than ever when scoring at Catterick (6f, good) on his reappearance nearly three months ago; subsequently absent but unlikely he'd be making the journey down without good reason and may be capable of better yet. |
15/2 |

Three wins last year included one at Catterick (7f) and one off this mark (6f, good); absent five months and he will need to be at his best to make a winning return. |

9st 1lb |
Two wins (7f/1m) in August 2024; best run last season was when second over C&D last May (good to firm); could bounce back from a below-par reappearance run last month. |

6th 3 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Largely consistent 8yo who tends to race a bit too freely and is usually ridden patiently; suited by this C&D and quite versatile ground-wise but absent since slightly disappointing run 13 months ago. |

Record is 2-18; best efforts this season when third at Ayr in July/August; filled same position in this contest last year; likely player if back in similar form. |

Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

Now 3lb lower than when winning on AW at Newcastle (5f) in January; fair form on turf last twice, latest when 2l fourth at Thirsk (5f, good); has won on fast ground; each-way chance. |

7lb below his last winning mark but that was back in October 2024; retains ability and he has been placed in all three C&D runs; should give his running. |

Chased home a useful sort on debut last August; no progress since and he was well beaten at 100-1 over C&D three weeks ago; headgear off now; not a solid option. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Three poor runs this summer, latterly in cheekpieces; Oisin Orr, up for three of his five runs, has unsurprisingly opted for stablemate Eminent Jewel. |

9st 1lb |
Well treated on her old form but last win was over two years ago and she has form figures of 77870096 in the last 13 months; handles most ground but she has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround. |
10/1 |

21st Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Major player on her 2023 form but she went the wrong way last year; there was more encouragement in her midfield finish in a 0-72 handicap at Doncaster three weeks ago (5f, good), however, and she's considered back in these calmer waters. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Scored over C&D (good to soft) off 3lb higher last summer and returns here after respectable fifth at Musselburgh (1m, good) this month but has a modest strike-rate and a steadily regressive profile; others preferred. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Far from solid on form and registered sole success in AW classified event; refused to race in March and was withdrawn having bolted before the start at Hamilton on Sunday. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Only 1-20; often misses the break and didn't even consent to race last time; too risky. |

|
6 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Usually misses the break and can pull hard, as was the case on her 5f comeback at the weekend; capable of popping up if the stars align, as when winning a 0-50 easily over C&D last summer, but she's hard to recommend. |
