17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
A dual winner (around 1m) in 2025 but he's yet to fire this season, only ninth of 11 in 1m Redcar handicap four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

9th 11 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped 8lb lower than when last winning a handicap for good reason; his last two starts didn't suggest a return to winning ways was imminent. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winner on a handy mark but it's been a quiet start to this season and, even if back on song, looks vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far; the return of a visor might be no bad thing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D scorer who made a promising return from a poor draw when seventh of 22 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; figures on a handy-looking mark now and he's interesting. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (21) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended winless 2025 campaign with a placed effort in an above-average seller; starts his 2026 season off 8lb below his last winning mark but chance partly depends on the weather as he's best on ground softer than good. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |

1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere. |

Only win in 23 runs was a 1m nursery at York in October 2023 for Ralph Beckett; badly out of form this season and cheekpieces now tried. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Below par on AW when last seen in August but he's 2-2 on going softer than good, latterly a 1m Carlisle handicap (soft) at the expense of the reopposing Look Back Smiling; no surprise were he to resume his progression now back on deep ground. |
11/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Resumed winning ways at Carlisle (1m) in July but only eighth of 12 in 1m Kempton handicap 49 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back after a break. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
8yo who capitalised on a reduced mark to win over C&D (good) last month before 7l second to easy winner in amateur jockeys' race at Pontefract (1m2f, good); he's not ruled out back here. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time, recording first win since 2024; no spring chicken, being an 8yo, but he's technically still unexposed over this trip and remains well treated on historical data; should remain competitive. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No win since August 2024, and he's yet to score beyond 7.5f, with a Flat record of 0-5 at 8.5f plus; this easing mark is helpful though, and he wasn't too far behind the reopposing King Of Fury at Carlisle (1m1f, soft; 6-1) ten days ago; stablemate of the veteran Poets Dawn. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the most reliable and winless since March 2024 for Gemma Tutty; hinted at a revival though on just second run for his new yard with fourth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Goodwood last month; not without interest off a tumbling mark with Oisin Murphy up for the first time. |
11/4 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Lost his way last autumn and, after changing hands for 9,000gns, he was out the back on stable debut at Bath (1m, good; fine on soft); potentially well handicapped but has enough to prove. |
6/1 |
|
10th 6 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Usually slowly away; lost his form last autumn but he's thrown in judged on plenty of earlier 2025 form, never mind peak efforts; first run since he left Gemma Tutty for 9,000gns in December and the market may guide. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been a prolific winner down the years, including at Carlisle; not solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may have positive effect; successful in last Class 5 attempt. |
11/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |
|
12th 15 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |

Two solid runner-up efforts in 2026 and he won't mind what the weather does; sneaking up the weights but no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good go. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row last May/June (8.3f/1m1f, good/soft) and beaten just a head on this month's reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); this front-runner has a progressive profile and is one to consider today. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Won twice over 7f last November; comparable form when second at Carlisle (1m, soft) last month; not so good last time and she faces a stiff task at the weights; slower ground ideal too. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Scored over C&D (soft) just under a year ago and has been in good form lately; close second off today's mark here (7.7f, soft) a week ago and also suited by good ground; likely contender again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
In reasonably good form, having made the frame twice last month, third at Catterick latest; dual winner at Carlisle (soft/good to firm) and returns to this venue off a favourable mark; respected. |
