16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |
22/1 |

6th 6 (11) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m winner for Mark Walford who wasn't discredited for his new yard when third of six in 1m handicap at Leicester in June; not ruled out after a break. |
5/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three of his wins have been over 1m, the most recent on debut for Mark Walford off 3lb higher at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last June; drops back to this trip for another new yard after two below-par efforts this year. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Took this prize 12 months ago and she's back in excellent form of late, scoring at Carlisle (1m) before third of seven over C&D 26 days ago; merits serious consideration in her follow-up bid. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins overall include a comfortable C&D success last July on her only race at Pontefract; back near her best when winning at Carlisle (1m, soft; probably fine on good to firm) 13 days ago and looks a leading contender despite going back up 3lb. |
7/2 |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Solid spell of form last term featured two wins and three second-place finishes; has gone rather off the boil since but a revival would give her good claims off current mark. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive 11-race maiden who was beaten 17l when down the field at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) a week ago; returns to turf with the tongue-tie back on; better needed now dropped back in trip; due to be 3lb lower. |
11/1 |
|
2 (1) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Regressive ten-race maiden who has been beaten 5l or more in his six handicaps this year; mark continues to fall but he needs to this step back up in trip to make a difference; cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed early promise, but hasn't built on it and now 0-9; finished 5l behind Royal Observatory when sixth of 14 in an amateurs' event over C&D last time and needs plenty more. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Infrequent winner but he showed the right attitude when going in at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; boasts a good record here, his win coming at this time of the year too, and he has a fair chance of defying a 4lb penalty. |
3/1 |
|
4 (5) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a modest strike-rate of 2-39 but has made the frame on all five starts this year and should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
2 (14) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has modest 2-38 strike-rate but comes here after two pretty good efforts (1m2f/1m) and will be suited by today's move back up in trip; might be the answer. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a similar race over C&D last summer when rated 2lb higher; he has finished second in two of his last three starts, the latest on AW nine days ago, and another big run looks likely. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner (2023); not far behind Barleybrown and Abu Royal here this month, but declined a winning opportunity (carried head high and idled) next time; visor didn't work at Beverley last week, so question marks persist. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Losing run is mounting up and he didn't look particularly resolute when nevertheless going close at Musselburgh (1m) most recently; chance depends on the effects of new headgear. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-9; didn't get home over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) five days ago but she wasn't beaten as far as she was on stable/seasonal debut; drops back to 7f with blinkers and tongue-tie added; may go well from the front for her in-form yard. |
5/1 |
|
7 (5) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 and her best efforts have been over shorter; probably needed the run when beaten 21l on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, soft); sounder surface may suit but the step back up in trip isn't sure to. |
13/2 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair maiden at her best but she signed off for Stuart Williams with a below-par ninth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap in November; needs to hit the ground running for her new yard. |
8/1 |
