10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In fine form last spring, winning three times including over C&D; cheekpieces returned at Goodwood last month and he recorded a narrow soft-ground success; 2lb rise shouldn't handicap him out of things and faster ground should be beneficial. |

Had bad luck in running over C&D during an otherwise successful spell around this time last year; inconsistent since but has possibilities off current mark with cheekpieces given another spin. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a deserved first win since 2024 in 1m apprentices' handicap at Ascot a week ago, when well on top at the finish; escapes a penalty and is able to race off 2lb lower than last time, so he's very hard to side against. |

9st 11lb |
7f AW novice winner in 2024 but 0-17 subsequently; in the frame at 7f on his last four starts, though, and he stays 1m; due for a 2lb drop but still considered. |

7f AW novice winner at two; 0-16 in handicaps but yet another sound effort in defeat last time at Newmarket (7f, good); handicapped about right but one of these can come his way. |

9st 1lb |
Beaten 16 times since his winning 2yo debut but there have been several good runs along the way; two midfield finishes in good handicaps this summer; edging down the weights and he should be popping up soon. |
25/1 |

10th 7 (22) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
0-15 since debut win in May 2024 but often ran well off marks in the 90s in some quality handicaps last season, including over C&D; respectable sixth of 14 on recent reappearance at Thirsk and could build on that run today. |

9st 11lb |
Made a winning debut in the Hilary Needler at Beverley two years ago (5f, good to firm) but hasn't won since; fair second in a Thirsk fillies' handicap two runs ago (1m, good) but well beaten at Royal Ascot last time. |
8/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

No win in 16 starts since debut success last June but has run with credit on all four this year, including fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft); second of 11 over 1m at Thirsk (1m, good) 17 days ago; each-way shout at likely decent odds. |

She's been a promising fourth on two of her three starts this season, at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and here (7f, good) a fortnight ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); might not be far away. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

9st 9lb |
Down the weights since some ordinary 7f runs in the middle months of 2025 and looked as if he might take advantage shortly when a close second at Thirsk (1m, good) in April following a break; however, he hasn't run to the same level since and needs a revival returned to 7f. |
9/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Good second at Thirsk on his seasonal return last month; sent off favourite at Ayr on the strength of it but could only manage sixth of the seven runners behind Starliner (Donna Nook second); cheekpieces return. |
4/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate is only 1-16 but he gained the win at Ayr and returns here off an attractive mark (peak one was 15lb higher); ran encouragingly at Thirsk (1m, good; 1l second) most recently, proving suited by the switch back to turf from AW. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won 6f novice at Goodwood last May in good style; 11 months off before hard-fought win at Wolverhampton in April; only seventh on his handicap debut at York Dante meeting (7f, good to firm) but he travelled well before meeting trouble at a crucial stage; returning to 6f could spark further progress. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Truncated 2yo campaign featured a Goodwood win (6f, good); narrowly defied a penalty in Wolverhampton novice event (7f, AW) on reappearance, taking form figures to 211; ties in with Jolly Roger on that running; still open to further progress and is one for the shortlist. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a good mark on 2025 best and he has been running himself into form this time around, third of ten (beaten 1l) at Carlisle four weeks ago; conditions no problem and he is one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's attractively treated and proved resurgent with rallying fifth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third start for new yard; not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
5th 12 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won two AW races for Andrew Balding whom he left for 60,000gns; he's not always looked entirely straightforward but he was less than 2l away last time at Newmarket (7f, good) after being in rear at one point; Tom Marquand takes over now; respected. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Picked up from Andrew Balding for 60,000gns not long after an AW win (1m) this time last year; not the easiest (can lug left) and will need to settle better after a spell sprinting, over tonight's stiff 7f, but he's capable off this mark if things fall right. |
6/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Wins for Andrew Balding came on Polytrack, latterly off this mark over 1m last summer; a slow start did for him down to 5f last time and, while he doesn't always look the easiest and can lug left, he's capable if things fall his way. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Comfortable winner of a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last December, but had a nightmare passage on handicap/turf debut at York (7f, good to firm) in May; returns from 166 days off having been gelded; worth a second look. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Appeared to be found wanting for stamina over C&D two runs back but that was a warm handicap and he's since gone down narrowly in a Class 3 over 1m at Redcar (good; new tongue-tie), where he wasn't stopping; races up with the pace and firmly in the reckoning. |
8/1 |

3rd 9 (12) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Found 1m2f too far at York five weeks ago but the return here is a positive given his course record (111373); still 3lb above his last winning mark but holds each-way claims with a tongue-tie given a go. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out. |

No longer the force of old but bettered his poor seasonal debut when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to lurk on a dangerous mark and is well worth another crack at this sort of trip; no surprise if he features. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Decent 2yo who struggled last year, coming more than a stone down the weights; found his level again latterly on Tapeta but he ran poorly on his turf comeback in April and others make more obvious appeal. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won two of his first three starts, including a C&D nursery off 8lb higher, but the handicapper was in command for much of 2025; creditable third to Fortamour at Newcastle when last seen 145 days ago but he has more on his plate in this deeper race. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C&D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |

9st 12lb |
He has run a string of good races in 2026, winning for the second time when comfortably seeing off five rivals at Beverley (7.4f, good) last week; that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he can't be discounted under a 5lb penalty. |
