16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |
25/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner; creditable second in this race in 2022 and 2025 but on both occasions he was in better form at the time; out of sorts since his last success. |

Gained most recent success off 3lb higher last July, enhancing his good record at Ripon; not in anything like the same form since; difficult to support with confidence. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in decent nick without winning, fourth of nine in 1m handicap at Ripon 13 days ago; it's now 20 runs since his last victory however. |
13/2 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
In reasonably good form having made the frame in last three starts; however, still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf and this is a step back up in grade; 2lb out of weights. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 13 (13) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back in better form with fourth-place finishes the last twice; still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf but he's on an attractive mark and Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 7lb; shortlisted. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages. |
20/1 |
|
16th 17 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of sound performances on Newcastle AW this year, winning over 7f latest; back on career-high mark but he's a five-time turf scorer who has form over C&D and appears to hold solid claims. |
10/1 |
|
1st 11 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Spring has been quite a productive time for him which provides hope that he can build on a promising reappearance third over 6f here 15 days ago; has raced mainly at 7f/1m in recent years so the step back up in trip should help if anything. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 15 races to June 2023 but he's been a good third on his last two starts and can be thereabouts once more. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Posted sound effort when placed off today's mark at Haydock (1m, good) last month but remains without a win since June 2023, and the faster ground here may not be ideal; not the percentage call. |
6/1 |
|
7 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some encouraging efforts off a reduced mark this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last year, the most recent coming at Ripon (1m2f, good) off a 4lb higher mark than today's; went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been below his best in two starts since; tongue-tie is added to cheekpieces. |
9/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who followed up a neck second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April with a mediocre effort when eighth of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) last month; cannot discount but needs to put his best foot forward. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge. |
5/1 |
