17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
On a long losing sequence but he got back on track with second of 11 in 6f Carlisle handicap eight days ago; needs to reproduce it here. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
He hasn't run badly in Class 6 handicaps on his last two starts but is still operating below his best; likely to run well all the same. |
4/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 4yo who has dropped 15lb since the autumn; kept on pretty well from the rear for third of seven at Ripon (6f, good) last week, though, and this stiffer track ought to suit him better. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two solid efforts in 6f handicaps (including over C&D), given she blew the start each time, before not looking to see out 7f last time; can't be left out of calculations. |
10/1 |
|
7 (7) |
10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame in both 6f handicaps (turf/AW) since winning AW novice over that trip in February; sometimes loses ground at the start and/or races too freely but is open to improvement over this new trip if all goes to plan. |
13/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Serial hard-puller who made a pleasing turf/handicap debut last time despite another untidy start; should have more to offer when tightening things up and a 2lb rise looks fair, so she's one to consider. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner who is in a consistent vein of form this term, placing in handicaps over 1m1f and 1m here (both good) on his last two outings; this longer trip asks a different question but he's likely to be on the premises again if his stamina holds. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate is 6-26; soon in a consistent vein of form this term and was beaten only half a length by the market leader in York event (1m1f, good) most recently, taking record at this venue to 512; solid. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 6 (15) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a six-time winner (from 5f to 7f); has returned in similarly good form, finishing third at Thirsk (1m, good; to Empire Of Light) and Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last month; each-way claims again. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win came in a Lingfield maiden but he won his first AW race in April (6f) and has since run well in a slightly stronger race than this over C&D (good to firm); has other quite solid handicap form at this trip on grass and he should go well under up-and-coming Harry Vigors. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning a 0-55 AW handicap run to suit round Lingfield last time; upped 6lb but was competitive off higher marks on turf last summer and that win may have boosted confidence. |
10/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't fire over 7f here last month and is now 0-9 for Chris Gordon but keeping-on fourth of 12 at Kempton (6f) two starts ago was a pretty good effort and he remains on a good mark; considered, despite awkward draw. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who's been tried in three forms of headgear and proved expensive to follow; a poor one as favourite at Lingfield (AW) last time leaves him something to prove under Oisin Murphy (8-37 for the yard). |
7/1 |
|
2 (5) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well when third of ten at Southwell on his handicap debut in February and he's dropped 7lb since that effort; that is with some justification, as he's been well short of that level in three runs since; needs a full revival with cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed filly who was found a weak, small-field Wolverhampton handicap in April and has otherwise looked to have little in hand this season; vulnerable to improvers once more. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won narrowly from three rivals at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in April and only just beaten in one go over C&D, but needs to bounce back from a modest effort at Nottingham (5f, good) this month (behind Galaxy Zoo). |
9/2 |

7th 6 (2) |
1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Not an instant success in handicaps but the return to 5f helped when putting up a game show to win with nothing to spare on AW in April; a subsequent Yarmouth third suggests more will be needed in this higher grade. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Back to the same career-low mark she cashed in on in first-time blinkers at Goodwood in June (6f, good), progress having stalled again since; holds Connie's Rose and Papabella on last month's Leicester clash, albeit she was fairly well held herself; place rather than win claims. |
11/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below her best in one run on good to soft and was taken out on account of soft ground early in the month, so could do with some drying weather; proved consistent since blinkers went on but needs to find a bit more from somewhere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 1235 since wearing blinkers, the win at Goodwood (6f, good); ran respectably at Windsor (6f, good to firm) most recently and holds claims. |
9/2 |
