11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

He has been threatening to add to his six wins, with a third at Pontefract and second at Thirsk on his last two starts; on the downside he has been unplaced in all seven visits to York. |

2nd 11 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He has run well over C&D in the past, including in May, and he didn't run badly when third of six in a Class 3 handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago; each-way shout. |

Comfortably beat Rock Opera over C&D in spring 2025, albeit was in better form at the time, that success the middle leg of a hat-trick; not solid on 2026 results but has slipped to an attractive mark. |

Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |

Two wins in May (5f, good/good to firm) and has continued in good heart, beaten just over 2l when eighth of 16 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; however, he needs something extra today. |

Successful at Catterick in April (6f, good to firm) but she's been up and down since and was only seventh of ten at Hamilton last Tuesday; still 2lb higher than for her last success and she has some work to do. |

9st 8lb |
Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Missed out by a nose at Ripon last month (6f, good); 3lb higher in a stronger race but he has been rated much higher in the past; couldn't dismiss. |

Now 4lb lower than for his Catterick success 12 months ago; made a promising return at that track in April before plenty went wrong back there two weeks later; cheekpieces back on today; betting can help. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood. |
5/2 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and followed up when ridden by Chrstian Howarth over that same C&D 12 days ago, making all; he did it well last time and 9lb rise may not stop a bold bid for the hat-trick. |
10/11 |

1st 7 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning on good to firm over this C&D 19 days ago, beating seven rivals; back up 4lb but he's been placed off higher marks in the past and could go well. |

Back to winning ways at Redcar (6f) in May and has continued in good nick, third of 12 there (6f) last time; this C&D scorer needs considering. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three of her seven AW wins have been over C&D, the most recent in April when 5lb lower; has run well since but requires a strong pace to be fully effective. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has won on turf (over 5.5f at Wetherby in June 2024), but races mainly on the AW these days; comes into the reckoning following a narrow defeat at Wolverhampton last time (6f); well drawn. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Can miss the break and is often ridden from off the pace (every chance she will be again from stall 12); notched a third C&D win when taking a small-field affair against her own sex off 2lb lower in April; slight drop-off latest and has to bounce back. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

C&D scorer who got back on track when fourth of nine over C&D in July; one to consider off the same mark after a break. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame on eight of his 12 course visits but only two of the last five, and about 3l behind Quercus when fifth in this race last year (good to firm; beaten favourite); can't fight the rider as much as he did behind Miss Rainbow on last month's return from a small break. |
6/1 |
|
2 (11) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Defied this mark at Catterick (6f, good) last April but that is his sole win since 2021; may have needed his reappearance run at Catterick in April but he's had another break since then and his AW record stands at 0-12; looks opposable back in this sphere. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |

9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting. |
7/2 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins came over 6f in 2023 and 2024 when trained by Tim Easterby; no joy in four starts for David Loughnane and steps back to 5f on his stable debut; on a career-low mark and market watch is advised. |
3/1 |
|
8th 4 (1) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November; excuse next time and although he ran respectably at Wolverhampton last month, it wasn't a run that conclusively proved his stamina for 7f; now tried in an eyeshield. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (6f, AW) before going one better to end a lengthy losing run over that same C&D 12 days ago; has won on turf, so the switch to grass is no issue and she's still on a nice mark on her old form following a 4lb rise. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Placed efforts on her last two starts, latterly behind Asadjumeirah over C&D; may have to make do with more minor money. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
It's now 18 runs since her last success but retried in headgear when a solid third of ten in 6f classified event at Thirsk ten days ago; she can't be ruled out in another headgear change. |
