3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |

3rd 1 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Eight-time turf winner including on fast and soft ground; ended last season with a good fourth in a Listed race at Ascot (5f) but she's been out of sorts in her four runs this year; on dangerous mark but she needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; ten-time winner but her last four turf wins have been at Beverley and she's been out of sorts in three runs this year; has something to prove and she needs a big turnaround. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ran respectably over 6f at Yarmouth (stable debut) last time; gained his sole handicap success off current mark; possibilities if proving as effective back at 7f. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner who won a maiden on soft ground at Redcar for Karl Burke last May; patchy form since winning a Wolverhampton handicap (also 6f, AW) in March and he left George Boughey for 17,000gns after trailing in last of five at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie/blinkers) in July; headgear removed for this stable debut. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Run over various distances of late and the experimenting continues, with cheekpieces replaced by a first-time tongue-tie and first-time blinkers; achieved little in three runs on fast turf, so comes with risks attached. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won off an 11lb mark at Musselburgh last August (5f, good); hasn't run as well since and below-par over same C&D last time (good); dropped another 3lb so no surprise if he were to go well. |
7/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained last season's win over C&D (good); slightly disappointing in first-time blinkers (retained) on AW a week ago but now 2lb lower than when fourth of 17 behind Right And Exact at Thirsk (5f, good) two starts ago. |
8/1 |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear. |

Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

9th 9 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Far from consistent this season but scored off just 1lb lower over C&D in May and has a fighting chance provided he's back in the same form. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

9st 1lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 in 5f handicap at Ripon 11 days ago; usual visor goes back on now and this four-time C&D scorer is not out of things under a 4lb penalty. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Markedly more exposed than Goyard but is similar in one respect, being 2-2 at Ripon; recent form is respectable enough to put him in calculations off a workable mark back at this course. |
11/2 |

6th 7 (8) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back from below-par run at York with close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good) on Sunday, and his best run this season came when close second of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; not ruled out back here. |

Beat Ticktyboo over C&D (soft) in May and he's run well in defeat in three of his last four starts; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark though. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer. |

2nd 7 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Has won twice on good ground but other seven wins have been on good to soft/soft; had his ground when third at Nottingham two runs back, and not beaten far when seventh at Thirsk last week (5f, good); on a good mark but needs rain not sun. |
5/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives in good nick without winning this season, third of six in 5f Nottingham handicap five days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |
