3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back to winning ways in a C&D classified event in July; similar form back here in handicap company two weeks ago; a good early pace would play to his strengths. |

6th 11 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hardly prolific but he has six C&D wins on his record, the latest three weeks ago when coming from off the pace to win decisively in 0-50 classified company; this is tougher but we know he's capable when in top form. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Exposed 16-race maiden but he has twice finished second in minor handicaps this year, including on Tapeta; lacklustre run over C&D three weeks ago but each-way claims if anywhere near his best. |
16/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

15-race maiden but he went close when dead-heating for second at Southwell (6f, AW) two starts ago; below that level here over 6f last time and now steps back up in trip. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Turned things around with a win at Wolverhampton last month and she followed up in a Ffos Las handicap (5f, good); couldn't quite get the job done in her hat-trick bid at Lingfield (6f, AW), but that was another big run and she's only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip; shortlisted. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to winning form in a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month and followed up in a 0-65 handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but still respected in her current mood and the return to this trip is no problem. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Came good for current stable at seventh attempt, with emphatic 5f AW win 12 days ago; will be fine back on turf and recent 5lb rise ought to be manageable; respected. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Got back on track with third of seven to Doon The Glen in 6f Hamilton handicap 25 days ago; she needs to back it up now if she's to double her career tally. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Had a good run of form in early summer last year, getting off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm), but rather up and down since and she found little at Ayr ten days ago; hard to rule out if back to best, though. |
13/2 |
|
6th 12 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
A good spell in 2025 included a Redcar win (6f, good to firm) and a close second in this race (good to soft); slow to find her form this year but things started to look up when she was second of nine at Carlisle (6f) in June; primed to go well. |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Signed off 2024 with 6f Redcar victory but he's yet to fire this season, cheekpieces tried when last of eight in 6f Redcar handicap in July; others appeal more. |

20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (soft) off 2lb higher last October; he's made no impact in three runs this year but drops in class and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; good apprentice booked and a better showing is expected, especially if significant rain arrives. |
10/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |

Won a 6f handicap on soft ground at Redcar last October; just 1lb higher today but neither run last month suggested he was ready to strike. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hit hard for his easy Catterick win (6f, good to firm) in May and he has come up well short twice, including C&D latest; handles any ground but others look better treated. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) under Tom Kiely-Marshall in May; not in the same form when last of five at Nottingham (6f again) since but he's bagged the inside stall on his first Beverley visit and is capable of bouncing back. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |
15/2 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but likes the stiffer finish of Hamilton and got a tad outpaced before running on over C&D last month; however, she's closely matched with the winner Night Emperor and has to enter the reckoning. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner; form dipped at Thirsk four weeks ago but she's the type to bounce back quickly; can get it wrong at the start but she is still more appealing than many. |
4/1 |
|
13th 1 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |
