1st 3 (1) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with a brave win at Epsom (1m2f, good) 19 days ago and he backed that up with a creditable third at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm); a 2lb rise has now kicked in but he remains feasibly treated and should go well again. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got back on track for first success with this yard at Epsom (1m2f, good) last Wednesday; runs off the same mark here as that was a race confined to apprentices and he should be in the shake-up once more. |
5/2 |

1st 5 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Encouraging stable debut when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) hasn't been built on, although latest 8l defeat when fourth of 14 at Redcar (7f) came when the first two home raced alone; from the family of an Oaks winner so there's hope on pedigree that this new trip might help. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile trip-wise; C&D winner; put a couple of low-key runs behind her when a front-running second at Chester three weeks ago (7.6f, good); 1lb higher but her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb; one to consider. |
8/1 |

On a losing run and she came in a below-form seventh of ten in 6f Windsor handicap 18 days ago; others appeal more. |

Record is 2-18; best efforts this season when third at Ayr in July/August; filled same position in this contest last year; likely player if back in similar form. |

9st 12lb |
Unsuited by drop to 6f last time; gradually back to form otherwise this term, close third at Ayr (good) in most recent 7f attempt; possibilities off last winning mark, provided he takes to added cheekpieces. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won four times last year including twice at Chester (7f/7.6f, good); only eighth of 14 on Carlisle reappearance last month but she had some major traffic issues and was only beaten around 4l; should be sharper this time and has claims if she can get back near best. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won four times last year (7f/7.5f) and also posted some other good efforts, including when third of 21 in a competitive handicap at York (7f, good) in October; didn't settle well enough at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen but the break may have done her some good. |

Four wins in a productive 2025, the latest over 7f (good) in September; good third of 21 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; likely to go well again. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Picked up a couple of Class 6 events at Bath this summer and he wasn't beaten far in his hat-trick bid at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) 16 days ago; another 2lb higher today but this C&D winner should give it another good go. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three-time Bath winner who has a win and a second to his name in two runs here (both 1m); adaptable regarding tactics but hasn't run over 7f since his 3yo days in Ireland and he's drawn widest back up to a career-high mark; wouldn't want much rain. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won two 1m handicaps last May, including here, and back on the scoresheet in a C&D handicap three weeks ago (good to firm); that form is already working out well and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him; probably wouldn't want the ground to be worse than good. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Two wins over 1m at Ripon last season (good/good to firm); a bit disappointing this term (4l fourth of seven at Pontefract latest) but on a good mark now. |
11/2 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 1m handicaps last summer at Ripon, from 25 races overall; backward steps in his three starts this season leave him 3lb below last winning mark but with plenty to prove currently. |
25/1 |

11th 10 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
8.4f second or third last spring on his three outings at this track, twice from the front; two 1m wins at Ripon last summer, showing form which has not been recaptured this season but he has a competitive mark. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was in May 2023 and he was below par at Southwell (1m, AW) in August last time; however, he's run some good races this season on AW/good ground and his last win came on soft; might be worth a second look. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
More than two years since his latest win and although he nearly put that right over C&D in April he ran flat here next time; in fair form on turf in the meantime but others look more likely winners. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has been placed a few times and drops to this level for the first time, but ran poorly on his reappearance at Chester (7.7f, good) in June and has been off another 73 days since; blinkers need to make a difference if he is to make it 16th-time lucky. |

Showed some ability remained when fifth at Chester in June (7.6f, good) but well held Flat and hurdles since; tailed off in the faces of a stiff task at Chester on Saturday. |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Four-time winner on the Flat but not since September 2023 and she has a lowly mark nowadays; best watched on hurdling debut. |
