25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
A fair 1m1f winner in 2025 but arrives out of sorts, beating one in 1m handicap at Pontefract eight days ago; others are preferred. |
40/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
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. |

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. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f on good or slower; on the slide in three starts this season but this combination of a drop in grade and new headgear may prompt a resurgence; return to shorter is also a plus; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
12th 6 (14) |
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. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

On a losing sequence and he was a below-par fifth of nine in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; others are preferred. |
33/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
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. |

9st 8lb |
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. |

Multiple winner in his young days including over C&D, but has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, one of which was on Jersey; may find a couple too strong. |

Sole success came back in 2023 but he got back on track with second of six in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster three weeks ago; needs to reproduce it now. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Only 1-27, the win when with Ralph Beckett; had been badly out of form this season but ran better in a new tongue-tie over 1m here last time when close up behind Mariner; possibilities if as good again as he stays this far. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only win in 26 runs was a 1m nursery at York in October 2023 for Ralph Beckett; badly out of form this season and cheekpieces made no difference last time; they are replaced by a first-time tongue-tie now. |

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 |
|
3 (9) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
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. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dug in to repel Qitaal over C&D (good; from 5lb lower) in June and lost out narrowly to stablemate Poet's Dawn back here the following month; met with trouble at Musselburgh (1m1f, selling handicap) latest; Rhys Elliott takes off 3lb. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comes here in decent form having won at Ripon in June and finished a close second to a stablemate there last month (also 1m2f, good); contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
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. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time |
11/4 |
|
7th 10 (9) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Better with each of his three runs for this yard and wasn't beaten far at Kempton a fortnight ago, despite hanging right; stays this far and is quite happy on Tapeta, so he's one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
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. |

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. |

Started the season with three second-place finishes at around 1m; 50-1 and finished out with the washing in a Class 3 at Hamilton 18 days ago; this is more suitable. |
33/1 |

13th 11 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

Three wins from 27 starts include one here over 8.5f last May; has finished second in each of his three starts this season (good to soft/soft) but has a bit to do to reverse placings with Return To Unit from their meeting at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) two months ago. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |

Chased home Ravishing Beauty here (soft) in June; 1lb lower today but that run has been followed by two disappointing efforts; the more rain to fall the better. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
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. |
