9st 13lb |
Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D (good to firm) in May; well beaten in a big field at York since; first visit to Catterick. |
9/1 |

15th 17 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D last month; however, this is warmer and he has been unplaced on all four of his starts at York. |
14/1 |

3rd 7 (10) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent. |

8th 3 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |
100/30 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Track regular who added a second C&D win to his record on good to soft three weeks ago; handicapper handed him an 8lb rise but that looked a career best and he can never be discounted at this venue. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started favourite on his first nine starts last year, winning two of them, both off lower marks; hit traffic over an inadequate 5f on his comeback a few weeks ago, which will ensure he's popular once again for a yard also responsible for Cairdeas. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Went close on his seasonal return at Pontefract in June (6f, good to firm); backwards steps since then and losing run looks set to continue. |

5th 4 (9) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

It's now 20 starts since his last success and he arrives out of sorts, sixth in 6f Ayr handicap 29 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time 6f AW scorer in 2025; built on earlier promise to gain a first turf victory in 7f Chester handicap a week ago, making all and drawing right away last 1f for 8l success; major shout under a 5lb penalty. |
5/4 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form on his second run after wind surgery when a front-running second at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he's 6lb lower than last time and is well handicapped on his second at York last spring; respected. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on peak form and his midfield finish at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, on first run after wind surgery, was encouraging; he has a higher mark to contend with back on AW but this represents a drop in class and he shouldn't be underestimated. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |

Has won on firm but seems suited by some give in the ground these days; sound run when about 3l fourth at Haydock last time on first run at this trip (good to soft); on a really good mark at present and one with a chance. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two-time 5f winner who continues to drop down the weights and has shown the odd sign of spark this season; however, it's been a disappointing campaign overall and she's going into the unknown now tackling 7f. |

Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface; regressive since starting his Irish career promisingly with a second placing at the Curragh in the spring; hard to fancy having finished in rear when partnered by Colin Keane last time. |

Just one win since October 2022 but that was off 6lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) last May; had just one run this season but he caught the eye with his late headway at Wetherby (5.5f) in April and has possibilities back up in trip. |

3rd 3 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in two big-field 6f Thirsk handicaps (both on good) this season and did well to finish fifth at Redcar in between, having lost significant ground at the start; still on workable mark; probably in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution. |

Fair run on her stable debut/reappearance in April but she took a backward step at Catterick in May; absent since and improvement is required but her best RPR came on good to firm, a surface she's only tackled once. |

His last win was in France in 2021 but he's dropped a long way in the weights and showed signs of a revival when third at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; that was with an eyeshield added and he has claims if he can back that up. |
