10th 2 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition. |
4/1 |

1st 7 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resurgent 7yo who completed a 7f Carlisle double on Monday and has now won five times this year; has 4lb penalty to carry but he won't mind if the ground eases; commands respect in current mood. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been on good ground on slower; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in May and has posted two good efforts since, the most recent coming when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; off since but has to be respected. |
11/8 |

3rd 2 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Currently 2-4 over C&D (also finished fourth in this last year off 4lb lower); a disappointing effort last time will need forgiving but the return here will help, this time with 7lb being taken off by Jake Dickson. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored three times off lower marks in May-July last term (ended up with a peak mark 7lb higher than current one); generally consistent since, running-on third at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but likes the stiffer finish of Hamilton and got a tad outpaced before running on over C&D last month; however, she's closely matched with the winner Night Emperor and has to enter the reckoning. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner; form dipped at Thirsk four weeks ago but she's the type to bounce back quickly; can get it wrong at the start but she is still more appealing than many. |
4/1 |
|
13th 1 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-26, the win coming in a handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last May; close third in a classified event at Thirsk two starts ago before a solid effort in a Beverley handicap (7.5f, good to firm) last time; drops back into a classified with good claims. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (11) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only 1-25; the blinkers were left off when going close over 6f at Thirsk last week; that was a classified race and he's probably better at 6f than 7f. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close second in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to soft) in June but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; overall record is now 1-24 and he needs to rediscover his spark; blinkers worn in last three starts are removed. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-17 since completing a hat-trick over C&D early last year and recent form has been patchy; has dropped to a favourable mark, but others are still more compelling. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Completed a Wolverhampton hat-trick around this time last year and returned to form with a close fourth there 16 days ago despite a slow start and hitting some traffic; has won twice here so needs considering. |
16/1 |

11th 13 (2) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Showed promise in his first three starts for Hugo Palmer last autumn but hasn't gone on in handicaps, including on Tapeta; makes his stable debut having been picked up for 2,600gns last month; plenty to prove. |
20/1 |
|
8 (11) |
16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Remains winless and he was tried in blinkers when beating only one in 1m Hamilton handicap 19 days ago; reverts in trip here with plenty to prove. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Acts on good and soft ground; record of 4-15 and his wins were in handicaps last season, including over C&D; still 8lb higher than for his last success but he was runner-up at Thirsk in April and did best of the pacesetters when fourth at Haydock (7f, good) last time; returns after a break and he's in the mix on this drop back in trip. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Did well for Harriet Bethell last season and his two runs this year have been encouraging, second of 13 to an unexposed one at Thirsk three weeks ago; mark left unchanged; big player. |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Seventh in two starts at Chepstow (7f, good) and Carlisle (6f, soft) in May/June; up in trip and returns to AW; lots to prove. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

0-10 and came in a below-form seventh of 12 in 7f Chepstow handicap 17 days ago; he's very hard to make a case for. |
