7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Won off 5lb lower at the Curragh last season (1m2f, yielding); not a bad run over that C&D on seasonal return but struggled upped to 1m4f there on latest; eased 1lb, cheekpieces go on and this shorter trip more suitable so not dismissed. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won off 6lb lower here in October (1m2f, yielding); handles quicker ground and should come on for pleasing comeback run over 1m2f here (good) last month, but has to prove he stays this far. |

11st 2lb |
Course winner who is on a losing run but it was a fair effort when fourth to Sanafi Zabeel at Hamilton (8.5f, good) last time; gets a 5lb weight pull for that 2l defeat and the forecast rain would be welcome; respected. |
9/2 |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Plenty of defeats at short prices since her last victory, here almost two years ago; she's more than capable off this mark, though, if the first-time headgear does the trick in a winnable handicap. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 17 times since she last won, here (1m1f, good to soft) in September 2024; however, she's run a lot of good races in the meantime and was third of nine at Carlisle (1m, soft) recently; might not be far away. |

Seven wins but latest back in April 2025; below par this spring and it remains to be seen whether a 101-day break has had a reviving effect. |
25/1 |

10th 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
7-24 with his last win coming when joined on the line at Ripon (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) in April 2025; struggled on AW through the winter (0-4), and was pestered for the lead, weakening to finish fifth (beaten 8l), at Ripon five weeks ago; an easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dead-heated over C&D (good) last April and went very close at Carlisle in June; well handicapped on that form but a long way below his best on AW this year; the return to turf needs to trigger a major revival. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
She's thrived since joining this yard and made it 4-7 for the stable when making all in a Listed race at Pontefract (1m, good) three weeks ago; today's company demands further improvement but she might still have more to offer and could make another bold bid. |
16/1 |
|
1st 12 (9) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
6-19, her latest success when making all to win a handicap at Ascot (1m, good) in May, but she finished behind three of these in the Kensington Palace back there (1m, good to firm) last month; more needed. |
6/1 |
|
13th 8 (14) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Yet another success story for the James Owen yard, with her all-the-way defeat of Song N Dance and Alobayyah over C&D (good) last month her third win in just five starts for the stable; enjoyed the run of things from the front on that occasion but further progress isn't discounted. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |
7/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered. |
7/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Sprang a 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January, and back to form when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should be thereabouts. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Free-going sort who gained a first success in this sphere over C&D in September but she ended the season below par; freshened up since and no surprise to see her get back on track after a layoff. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has been disappointing of late and can compromise her chances by over-racing, but would have strong claims if back to the form of her Newbury effort (2m, good to soft) in December, namely second to Cheltenham Festival winner White Noise; worth a second look with promising claimer Daire McConville back in the saddle. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hard-pulling tendencies proved more deleterious to her chances than usual at Kempton latest (2m, good to soft); consistency prior to that has kept her around a stone above her sole winning mark (2m, good), and although she's more reliable than most here, she's vulnerable to improvers. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has modest 1-31 strike-rate but gave good account when third of 13 in 6f handicap here last month and now dips into this basement grade for the first time; fine over 7f; high on the list. |

3rd 5 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Ripon winner last summer who's regressed and run below market expectations on last two starts; this is easier off a career-low mark (9lb lower than when last successful) but he could have done without the recent rain. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins at Ripon over 1m last year (good/good to firm); respectable fourth of nine at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May but he's yet to build on that in four starts since; others look stronger. |
7/2 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Two wins over 1m at Ripon last season (good/good to firm); a bit disappointing this term (4l fourth of seven at Pontefract latest) but on a good mark now. |
