Both wins came over 6f on soft ground in 2024, but he's mostly struggled at big odds since the latest of them; best watched for now. |

Produced one of his better efforts in last C&D attempt but is by no means sure to reproduce it, being far from consistent; yet to win on AW. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Productive mare who has been successful three times this term and finished a creditable second in last two C&D attempts; came up short last time, however, and may be in the assessor's grip now. |
8/1 |

5th 7 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Three 5f handicap wins this year, the latest over C&D last week when comfortably outpointing six rivals; the combination of a 5lb penalty and stronger opposition may find her out. |
13/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

In-form mare; twice successful this season, including at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good; from 5lb lower); runner-up at Ripon on last two outings (Tees Aggregates a close third on penultimate start); has no issues with this track; merits respect. |

On a long losing run and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth of nine in 7f Redcar handicap 13 days ago; others appeal more. |

5th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (5f) in June and posted a good second of five over C&D 16 days ago; this C&D winner can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D last August and at Pontefract (5f, good) on June 8 this year; 4l fourth of six at Nottingham (5f, soft) three days later, which may have come too soon; could make a bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has course form; 6f and 5f wins have come on a variety of tracks and he's won two of his six 5f runs since having wind surgery, most recently at Pontefract (good; acts well on soft) on Monday; unpenalised for that apprentice win under Oliver Carmichael; leading claims. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good to firm); not been in quite such good form this time, but is on a good mark as a result; wide draw not ideal. |
9/2 |

7th 8 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Not quite in top form this term, beaten favourite at Thirsk most recently; went close over C&D last autumn but her ideal level is Class 6, as a record of 0-18 in higher grades reflects. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of her three wins have come at Beverley (5f, good to firm/soft) and she has dropped back below her last winning mark; ran well on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; third) but had no in-running luck at Beverley subsequently; isn't a forlorn hope. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |
7/1 |

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. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order. |
