26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf last August and latest was off 2lb lower; generally disappointing since last success but he made some late headway when fourth at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was more like it and he has each-way claims if he can build on that. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark. |
10/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
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. |
8/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Bagged a fifth C&D victory in November and in good nick subsequently, not seen to ideal effect when fourth of 11 back over C&D 25 days ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
No win since December 2024 (1m4f); weakened from 2f out on recent stable debut at Redcar (1m2f; 14-1, beaten 15l by Woodleigh); possibly needed that first run for 278 days but others are preferred. |

8th 2 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Seb Spencer; dual AW winner who ran a sound race when fourth in Doncaster handicap last August (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); no headgear this time and may need the run after 278-day break. |
10/1 |

Got back on track in refitted cheekpieces/tongue strap when fourth of seven in 1m2f Doncaster handicap 18 days ago; he needs considering. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often slowly away but not so when gaining a first success of 2026 in seven-runner handicap over C&D 18 days ago; up 3lb but still not out of things. |
3/1 |

1st 7 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time winner; has come up well short in big fields at York a couple of times of late; otherwise a consistent sort and has frame possibilities off current mark in this scenario. |
13/2 |

9th 11 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won four races from 1m-1m2f last season, including two on fast ground; well beaten over 1m4f here in May, but bounced back with a sound fourth at Carlisle last time (1m, good to firm); on a fair mark now. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has won six races here, from 7.5f to 1m4f, the latest last August (1m4f, good to firm); creditable third here in May (8.5f, good) but below-par last two runs; could go well. |
11/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Loves it here and he's fine from this trip up to 1m4f; placed over the extended 1m here in May before finding the ground too slow at Carlisle; a wide draw isn't ideal, though. |
10/1 |

8th 7 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley, the latest over 7.5f last August (good); has also won at up to 1m4f there so has a chance following good run last time; soft ground a slight concern. |

The only one of these with track experience having been placed in all three visits last winter; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in February, but that her only success in 18 starts and she takes on a couple of progressive 3yos here. |
