17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often slowly away but not so when gaining a first success of 2026 in seven-runner handicap over C&D 18 days ago; up 3lb but still not out of things. |

1st 7 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time winner; has come up well short in big fields at York a couple of times of late; otherwise a consistent sort and has frame possibilities off current mark in this scenario. |

Won four races from 1m-1m2f last season, including two on fast ground; well beaten over 1m4f here in May, but bounced back with a sound fourth at Carlisle last time (1m, good to firm); on a fair mark now. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four C&D wins; attracted market support and looked an unlucky loser, hitting the line strongly after being hampered at a crucial stage over C&D (100-30 favourite, beaten a head) three weeks ago; still fairly weighted after a small upward nudge; holds an obvious chance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won four over C&D (BHA marks between 50-60) in 2024; began 2026 with a respectable third to Sea Legend, but it's been disappointing - with some mitigation - that he hasn't built on that since; stablemate of Billyjoegold. |

Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm); has slipped to a good mark and he halted the slide in his fortunes with a third at Yarmouth; considered despite an awkward draw. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm) and he's now 13lb lower than for the second win; ran his best race since joining this stable when sixth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago and has claims if building on that; headgear removed. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden but he's in a consistent vein of form and went down by only half a length in first-time blinkers over C&D most recently; in the mix, with the blinds retained. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
20-race maiden but hasn't been far away on last two starts, latest when hemmed in against the far rail when fourth of nine at Musselburgh (1m, good) 13 days ago; has dropped to a career-low mark and holds place claims at least. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Took this prize 12 months ago and she's back in excellent form of late, scoring at Carlisle (1m) before third of seven over C&D 26 days ago; merits serious consideration in her follow-up bid. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins overall include a comfortable C&D success last July on her only race at Pontefract; back near her best when winning at Carlisle (1m, soft; probably fine on good to firm) 13 days ago and looks a leading contender despite going back up 3lb. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Solid spell of form last term featured two wins and three second-place finishes; has gone rather off the boil since but a revival would give her good claims off current mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a similar race over C&D last summer when rated 2lb higher; he has finished second in two of his last three starts, the latest on AW nine days ago, and another big run looks likely. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner (2023); not far behind Barleybrown and Abu Royal here this month, but declined a winning opportunity (carried head high and idled) next time; visor didn't work at Beverley last week, so question marks persist. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Losing run is mounting up and he didn't look particularly resolute when nevertheless going close at Musselburgh (1m) most recently; chance depends on the effects of new headgear. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |
40/1 |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |
25/1 |
|
12th 12 (11) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Has never won above Class 6 and doesn't look as if he's about to put that right; consistent spell has been terminated by his form taking a dip in last few runs. |

Won consecutive AW races in November (9.4f/8.6f) and has been placed several times since, including a close second off today's mark at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) in early May; needs to get back on track after two below-par runs, though. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won over this trip at Hamilton (good) for Daragh Bourke in June, but they didn't go quick enough for him when fourth of eight back there (good) the following month; makes his stable debut in a first-time hood after 68 days off and worth monitoring in the market. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
The last two of his three wins have come at this track and latest was over C&D (good) three weeks ago; up 5lb but he hit a personal best with that stylish success and the form has been franked by the third since; big player again in his bid to make it 3-3 at this track. |
2/1 |

1st 6 (1) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |

Two wins last year, the second coming at this track (1m1f, good) off today's mark; promising seasonal return when second at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) 19 days ago; that form has taken some knocks since but still no surprise to see him go well. |

0-11 and shown nothing in two turf runs; they've both come on soft ground and a drying surface may help but it was a low-key yard debut at Cork last month. |

10th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Still to get his head in front but he comes here in decent nick, sixth of 11 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 25 days ago; shortlisted off an easing mark. |
