3rd 6 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Game effort to win a 5f handicap at Thirsk (good ground) last month; dropped away having made the running at Newcastle 13 days ago; has run well at Carlisle before but over 5f and this test might be stiffer than ideal. |
12/1 |

11th 13 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Course winner (6f); arrives having been in good form, seeing off her 11 rivals at Thirsk (5f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another solid effort. |
12/1 |

1st 7 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won this last year (first-time visor) and quickly added to that with further wins at Catterick (7f), Newcastle (6f), and back here (6f), rising steadily in the weights; she's a likely pace angle, only worn down inside final furlong at Catterick (6f; 17-2) 25 days ago. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ran okay on her seasonal return in April but she hasn't built on it in four runs since; had 17 runs at 6f+ and she has been unplaced in all of them. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has done her winning over 5f, most recently off 4lb higher at Pontefract last September (inconsistent since); attractively treated but has something to prove back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
11th 10 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
5-55; outran her double-figure odds when third to Beerwah and Zuffolo on seasonal reappearance at Redcar (5f, good); she's failed to build on that since, only fifth (runner-up a winner since) back there ten days ago; is due to ease a further 2lb in the weights. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Posted a second-place finish in May but isn't particularly solid on the rest of his 2025 form; further drop in weights takes him to 10lb below last winning mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in May but he has been below his best in five starts since; needs a return to form with the visor back on for the first time since 2021. |
7/1 |

10th 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four-time C&D winner; runner-up here in May but not in anything like the same form since and needs to stage a revival. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Displayed a dark side when virtually refusing to race at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut (also first run after gelding and wind operations) but he left that behind when a major eyecatcher at Chelmsford five weeks ago, held up under restraint but making a notable move in the fourth furlong, only for those exertions to take their toll late on; should be capable of better and while there is a slight concern he might fluff the start again, he's an intriguing contender against exposed opposition. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well held in three runs for Craig Lidster last year and he virtually refused to race on recent handicap/stable at Southwell (first run after wind/gelding operations); has plenty to prove on several counts and can only be watched at present. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Ewan Whillans; sound run on stable debut when second at Wetherby last time (5.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Won a Hamilton seller last June for Ewan Whillans (5f, good; visor first time); disappointing since; stable debut. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins over 5f but 0-13 and it has been a while since he has shone on this surface; new headgear tried today and the tongue tie worn on his last two starts dispensed with. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All her wins have come on good or slower and with that in mind her recent second at Wetherby on good to firm was most encouraging; the more rain to fall the better and she's a major player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All his wins have been at 5f on good or softer; three fair runs this year; a possible, but stall 9 not ideal. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Took this in 2025 but winless since and just a fair fifth of eight over C&D five days ago; this veteran needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
It's now 13 starts since he scored over C&D last July and he's largely been below par this season, seventh of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 11 days ago; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
C&D scorer who ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when third (Wee Mary second) over C&D (good) eight days ago; his best form of 2025 came at this time of the year so it's possible he can build on that. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Yet to offer much at all, tried in a hood when last of seven in 5f Ayr handicap 11 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |
|
7 (7) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Big prices and modest form in two 5f handicaps this summer, most recently at Hamilton on Thursday; plenty to find in first-time hood. |
50/1 |

9 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Fared a bit better when beaten under 5l at Musselburgh on handicap debut 16 days ago but she'll need to raise her game again to take this. |
33/1 |
