Belatedly back in winning form the last twice, readily beating Cracking Gold at Southwell (1m) then holding on narrowly in notable handicap at Wolverhampton (8.5f); looks better than ever. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Suited by drop back to 7f when winning at Newmarket (good to firm) and nearly followed up in 20-runner race at Glorious Goodwood (good); up another 3lb but plenty to like for trainer who won this race in 2020 and 2021. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by the drop back in distance at Newmarket (good to firm) last time, narrowly beating Great Acclaim and taking 7f record to 3-5 (only 1-8 over further); on a career-high mark but interesting kept to this trip. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Shaped encouragingly at Chester (7.5f) on the return to turf and proved unsuited by 1m2f (raced too freely) later in May; however, now 0-5 in this sphere and peak form remains on AW where he's a three-time scorer. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but she wasn't disgraced after a break at Carlisle (1m, good to firm; 40-1) 17 days ago; may come on for that outing and she's not ruled out. |
11/1 |

6th 11 (9) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hold-up performer whose record on turf reads 1-17 compared to 6-43 on the AW; shaped as if still in form when sixth of 11 at Lingfield (7f, AW) 117 days ago but may need her first outing since. |
20/1 |

Came from off the pace to win a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in fine style in December; beaten twice since but she hasn't run badly; fully exposed but a strong pace would enhance her claims. |

5th 8 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Scored three times at 7f/1m on the AW in 2025 but his more recent form is far less encouraging, last of eight in 1m handicap at Nottingham last month; visor goes on the first time here. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Last three wins have been on the AW, the most recent off a 6lb higher mark at Newcastle (7f) in December; below his best there over 1m after becoming upset in the stalls 90 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to turf on his first start since. |

Veteran who has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and hasn't prevailed in this sphere since York success three years ago; midfield when the 125-1 rank outsider back here last time. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

9th 11 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Gained last three wins on Newcastle AW; ran respectably back there on latest start; has bits of encouraging turf form this term but it's over two years since his last success in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (10) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Well suited by conditions and his last-gasp C&D win in March came off just 2lb lower; creditable efforts off his lower turf mark more recently; may find a few of his younger rivals better treated. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

Rated much lower on turf (2-20) than on the AW (5-22); hasn't run at all badly in his last two starts on grass including when eighth of 28 in the Victoria Cup; each-way claims down another 2lb. |

9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in good order and he was a good second over 1m here on his return in January; three heavy defeats have followed and there is likely to be other pace for him to contend with today; drops in class but others appeal more. |

8th 9 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Has had a couple of close calls over C&D this winter but he's lost his way in last two starts and was tailed off at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs a major revival. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time winner on Polytrack (1m/1m2f), but yet to click since returning for this yard in January, refusing to race on one occasion; has dropped a long way in the weights, but risky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Not the force of old on AW and he refused to race at Lingfield in February; made it 0-7 on turf when 5l sixth of nine here (1m, good to firm) last Monday but that wasn't devoid of promise as he was denied a clear run and kept on pretty nicely; he's not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful on the Flat, albeit yet to add to French maiden win in spring 2024 and not at best for new stable this year; has good standard to reach on hurdling debut but could have a future over jumps; had wind op in April. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Soft-ground specialist who landed a fifth success when scoring at Ayr (1m) in September; yet to get going in three starts this year but he's edging down the weights and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye; requires monitoring in the market with every drop of rain in his favour. |

7yo who was better than ever last season, a campaign that concluded with a fine second of 17 over C&D (good); races off the same mark today but he hasn't shone on his two outings this year. |
