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. |
20/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his third success when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March having got plenty of cover when there was a headwind; wasn't able to match that effort there 23 days ago and now steps back up in grade; returns to turf with place claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won at Catterick over 7f last year and she doubled her tally when scoring over C&D (good) last month; solid third under a 5lb penalty (effectively this mark) six days later and she's firmly in the picture. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (12) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Hinted at a revival on penultimate start and comfortably took advantage of a reduced mark at Carlisle (6f, good) last Monday; even with 5lb penalty she's still favourably treated on peak form; respected, assuming the widest draw doesn't prove a hindrance. |
7/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Generally disappointing since last summer's win at Catterick (7f, good to firm) but her keeping-on fourth at Hamilton (6f, good) 11 days ago was a step back in the right direction; interesting to see whether she can build on that effort. |

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. |
12/1 |
|
11th 10 (12) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Added a first handicap success over C&D (good to soft) in July to go with his debut win here; may have found the ground too lively when below that form at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) since and must be respected back here. |

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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to score and he's failed to beat a rival in 7f handicaps at Ayr and Musselburgh this season; easy to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
|
9th 3 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden who hasn't offered a great deal for his current stable, including when a remote last of eight at Ayr (7f, soft) on his seasonal return 11 days ago; others much safer. |

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. |

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. |
25/1 |
|
16th 10 (13) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Six-race maiden whose reappearance third over C&D (good to firm) contained promise on this card last year; just one run subsequently and she's been off since wind surgery in June; unexposed and drops in grade for this comeback; needs considering, particularly if gaining market traction. |

Poor results, without headgear, this season for new yard; could revive with cheekpieces refitted, having gained her Irish success (6f) in this headgear. |
20/1 |
|
9 (6) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
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. |
