11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Enjoyed a good summer at a lower level but a slow start did for her when odds-on in a small field a fortnight ago; clearly well suited by a stiff 6f and this will be a different test against a better class of opponent. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Placed just once in first 13 starts but has hit form of late, defeating 15 rivals at Doncaster last month (6f) and did the business over C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; her second in between those wins is strong form for the grade; will take all the beating off just 2lb higher than last time. |

1st 4 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had plenty of racing but she arrives in good form, following her breakthrough Doncaster win (6f, good to firm) with a good second at Pontefract 13 days ago; still feasibly weighted and she is more appealing than many. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

A fair juvenile 6f winner but he arrives below par, tenth of 12 in 6f Newmarket handicap last month; others appeal more. |

10th 11 (10) |
16th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only win and best form has been on the AW; wasn't beaten too far in his only handicap on grass and was just 3l away in two AW handicaps before hampered by a slow start last time; hold-up tactics might not be ideal here on quickening ground. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
11-race maiden; good efforts at Redcar and Ripon in midsummer (6f; first two runs in cheekpieces) but it has been a struggle more recently; change of headgear may help but Tim Easterby saddles more obvious contenders. |
25/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 and last two runs have been well below par; the hope is that he regularly shows speed over 6f/7f and hasn't had a go at 5f since his 2yo days; not without hope off career-low mark. |
20/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f AW winner; returned from break with low-key turf run over that trip last month and has never run over 5f before; swaps visor (worn for last six races) for refitted cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |
10/1 |

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

Two AW wins over this trip but he wasn't at his best when last seen in March; his three turf starts are all excusable to some degree and he could prove as effective on grass in time. |

In the frame in three of his seven starts for Karl Burke, but out of the frame in seven starts for this yard (blinkers made no difference last time); passed over. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Ex-Karl Burke; exposed 12-race maiden who is on a fair mark but needs to improve on his recent form; poor run last time with cheekpieces which are left off here. |

Recent form has been up and down, but she has managed to win three times since June including twice on good ground here (6f/7f); has won on good to soft, but soft ground would raise a question; not sure what to expect in any case. |

Won twice in minor 5f events last summer (AW and good to soft); also ran well when second to Crocus Time over C&D last August; recent return to action at Redcar may have been needed but there wasn't enough encouragement to earn him the vote this time. |

5f wins on AW/turf in August/September last year and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, his campaign concluded with two disappointing runs and he needs to get back on track on this reappearance outing. |

9st 3lb |
Had a good run of form in early summer last year, getting off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm), but rather up and down since and she found little at Ayr ten days ago; hard to rule out if back to best, though. |

A good spell in 2025 included a Redcar win (6f, good to firm) and a close second in this race (good to soft); slow to find her form this year but things started to look up when she was second of nine at Carlisle (6f) in June; primed to go well. |
