23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both AW wins at Newcastle (1m and 7f) but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in March; has had ups and downs since but he came from well back when fourth of ten to Gunfighter over C&D recently; place chance. |

4th 1 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |
7/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two 6f handicaps on good ground at Carlisle this summer; also ran a cracker to finish second of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) in July; form dipped at Haydock last month and the suitability of ground softer than good needs to be taken on trust. |
9/1 |
|
9th 9 (9) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two 6f wins at Carlisle this summer (good) and close second of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; this bang-in-form filly could play another leading role. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 16 (17) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Carlisle (6f, good) last month before keeping on for third at Pontefract (6f, good) six days later, and back on the scoresheet at Carlisle (6f, good) three weeks ago; won over 7f last July; could be in the mix. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have been on slow ground and latest was off this mark at Carlisle (7f) last July; hasn't made a serious impact in two runs for new yard this season, but he still has low mileage and any rain would boost his claims; not ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins for Michael Dods were on ground softer than good; picked up for 1,000gns and ran quite well on his stable debut over C&D as he was quite fresh after a break; possibilities if building on that. |
9/2 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Wins for Michael Dods came on soft (2yo debut) and good to soft, and he hung left both runs on good to firm; 4lb higher than his last winning mark and returns from ten months off, having been picked up for 1,000gns; hard to find many positives. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Largely consistent form on turf features a summer double (1m); not disgraced last time; has frame possibilities, provided she's as effective back on AW (third attempt). |
10/1 |
|
5 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Knocking on the door prior to winning at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in July and she followed up at Leicester (1m, good to firm); only fifth of seven back at Doncaster last month but that may have come too soon, just six days after Leicester; this 3yo could rediscover her progressive ways today. |
5/2 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Progressive filly who made her breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to soft) last month and followed up with a clearcut win on fast ground at Leicester last Sunday; remains unexposed at this trip and she's a major player under penalty in hat-trick bid. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hit the target for the first time when fending off Mercurius Power over C&D (22-1; from 4lb lower) in July; last of eight back on turf at Hamilton (1m1f) subsequently; returning to this track (1-2 on AW) could still prove beneficial. |
6/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 15th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m, AW) a week ago; now needs to show he can do it back on turf from 4lb higher and also still has stamina to prove. |
6/1 |

1st 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

14-race maiden; tumbling down the weights and his latest Hamilton run was a little better; still not easily recommend though. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded 40-1 win over 6f here (good to soft) a year ago but has lost her way since and refused to race on latest appearance 25 days ago; others are much less risky. |
33/1 |
|
9 (8) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Shock 6f winner at Ayr (good to soft; 40-1, from 5lb higher) last July; not much to enthuse about since (0-5) but she was returning from a two-month break when fifth at Ayr (1m, good to firm; Mwafaq runner-up) latest; stamina is a major risk over 8.5f. |
40/1 |

5th 7 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
40-1 winner of a 6f handicap here last summer; well below that level in her last three races (6f/7f) and there are stamina doubts over this far. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-9; 33-1 when second of 11 at Redcar (7f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in May, but ran poorly over the same C&D the following month; has questions to answer back in trip; stable also runs Lord Abama. |
12/1 |
|
14th 8 (13) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 but she responded well to the tongue-tie when beaten 2l into second of 11 behind Mayo County over C&D (good to firm) last month; 5lb better off with the winner and a player. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed signs of promise in 2024 and fair third at Doncaster on first run last year (7f, good to firm) but was tailed off in that race on return to action last month following wind surgery (7f, good to firm); tongue-tie now tried; others preferred. |

Poor results, without headgear, this season for new yard; could revive with cheekpieces refitted, having gained her Irish success (6f) in this headgear. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

6f maiden winner in Ireland last autumn but has failed to beat a rival in two starts for Jim Goldie; like her two stablemates, she arrives here with risks attached. |
25/1 |
|
14th 5 (9) |
28th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6f maiden winner in Ireland but then disappointed in three runs for John McConnell and was tailed off on debut for this yard over 7f at Wetherby (50-1); others preferred. |
