11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by about 1m4f; form over C&D features a success (off current mark) in this race last year and resurgent effort, doing well to finish third having been slowly away then come from a difficult position, in latest start; respected. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second win for Stuart Williams when getting up on the line over 1m6f at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; not seen since, though, and possibly best watched racing short of 1m3f for the first time on her return. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won on yard debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and close third at Chester (12.2f, good) next time; good to soft ground may not have been ideal when soundly beaten third here (1m4f) latest, and this trip may be within range, but she has to be better than ever today. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won on stable and seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and close third at Chester (1m4f, good) since; this 4yo has raced only six times and could still have more to offer; high on the list. |

Dual winner but 0-11 for current yard and essentially regressive; off since January. |

6th 3 (8) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this. |
11/2 |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins for Denis Quinn in the winter and a respectable fifth at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April on sole starts for John Ryan; left the impression he's still in form at Thirsk 19 days ago on his first start for this yard and cheekpieces now go on. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have been at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) and latest was 11 months ago; finished a close third off 1lb higher at Bath (1m6f, good) last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held with cheekpieces tried at Chester last time; the headgear is quickly discarded but he comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four times on the AW but is 0-23 on turf, although has been placed on 12 occasions; decent third at Bath last time (1m6f, good); each-way chance; cheekpieces now tried. |
15/2 |

3rd 3 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins on AW at Wolverhampton; 0-22 on turf and beaten 24l on reappearance at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; hard to fancy. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won five times last year, one of those over C&D, but below form since finishing second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this June; she has dropped in the weights and is dangerous to dismiss back here. |
4/1 |
|
1 (1) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has five wins including one over C&D; ran well when second over C&D in June off 4lb higher mark but has been below that form in four runs since; has possibilities if a return to this track works the oracle. |
9/2 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won five times last summer and went the best part of two stone up the weights; patchy this time and often takes plenty of driving but is 2lb lower than when last successful and will find this a touch easier. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came in game fashion on soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) in October and he ran a fine race when runner-up behind Blue Wonder at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) on his reappearance 22 days ago, coming clear of the rest; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ninth start when off the mark in game fashion from the front at Doncaster (1m2f, soft; 6lb higher today) in October under Ben Ffrench Davis; out of the handicap when appearing to run well 11 days later (1m2f, good) and he needs a second look on this reappearance. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (7) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; off the mark on ninth start when a game winner at Doncaster 11 days ago (1m2f, soft); raised 5lb and competing in a higher grade here. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

On a winning mark and won't mind the forecast rain but he hasn't convinced with his stamina in two attempts at this trip. |
12/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner who has won twice (1m2f/1m4f) on good to soft this season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he can race freely and he didn't seem to get home when upped to 1m6f at Haydock last time. |
8/1 |

9 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who won twice (1m2f/1m4f) on good to soft this season; not sure to get 1m6f, as he raced freely to set up a clear lead at Carlisle last time but he also rallied that day to finish a creditable second; needs a second look. |
