5th 14 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won on soft as 2yo; good C&D record includes a third in this race last year and two placed efforts (latterly John Smith's Cup) in a hood this summer; the hood was left off when well beaten over 1m4f at Ascot a fortnight ago but returns now; capable of bouncing back with each-way claims at a venue which suits, particularly with the yard going well. |

9th 7 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can race freely and hooded for his last two races at York, in the latest finishing a highly respectable third (promoted from fourth) in the John Smith's Cup (extended 1m2f; good to firm) for which he was 4lb well in; now 3lb higher and surprisingly goes without any headgear, but he's got some momentum behind him. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Had dropped a long way in the weights when beaten just a neck over C&D 17 days ago; that took his record to 0-17, but a repeat would give him every chance in this company; may be worth chancing. |
11/4 |

2nd 7 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
16-race maiden who has been well held in six runs for his current yard; continues to drop down the weights but it's been a long time since he's been competitive and others are preferred. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He's dropping down the weights and it's possible he'll improve for last month's outing, which came after a break, but it's a long time since he's been competitive and he remains a maiden after 15 starts. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Signed off for David O'Meara with 1m4f handicap success at Ripon in June; changed hands for 36,000gns subsequently and not out of things for his new yard with tongue-tie added. |

1st 1 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins over 1m2f (good/good to firm) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't been in peak form in four starts this term; still unexposed at this trip but he needs to raise his game. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins, all over 1m2f, last season (good/good to firm; two here); best run this term when second of four at Hamilton last time (1m5f, good to firm); a possible. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
4yo who has shown ability on the Flat and it's still very early days over hurdles; however, he was soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |

6th 5 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who may show improvement off his opening hurdles mark; 0-9 overall but looks favourably treated with his Flat rating in mind and Gregor Walkingshaw takes off a bonus 10lb. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on the Flat and failed to progress; ran okay when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day on his second hurdle start but others have achieved considerably more. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just 1-20, her sole success coming at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last December; beaten in a classified on Tuesday and needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |

4th 1 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win in 19 starts came in a handicap at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) in December and only went down narrowly over this C&D later in month; not at her best in her last two starts, but this drop in grade gives her a chance. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to win on turf, but was a creditable third to an in-form rival at Newmarket when back from a break last month (7f, good to firm); didn't fare as well over 1m at Yarmouth last week (good to firm). |

0-7; beaten 3l when third of four at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April but he failed to build on that back on turf at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) 63 days ago; better needed. |
