15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Broadly progressive record on turf for current yard features good-ground wins at Chester (7.5f) and Pontefract (1m) last June; may still have more to offer and remains of interest, despite an absence since July; market confidence would cement her claims. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Turned things around after break when scoring over C&D last month and she followed up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days later; held in hat-trick bid at Pontefract last week but she travelled for a long way and found more progress with that creditable second; only 1lb higher here and she's strongly respected back at this track. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |
25/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His nine wins have been on good ground or slower, with six of them coming at Chester; caught wide there on his reappearance and was well held in seventh there over 7f 13 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces back on. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
7lb below his last winning mark but that was back in October 2024; retains ability and he has been placed in all three C&D runs; should give his running. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner on soft ground, the latest off a 6lb higher mark in October 2024; plenty of sound runs since (placed over C&D on four occasions); each-way chance. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Has form at different tracks but may be ideally suited by Catterick and, back away from that venue, his consistent spell ended last time; no win since 2024. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

Both turf wins have come at Doncaster where he beat only one home last time out (7f, good); that was his fourth disappointing run in succession. |
20/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |
|
19th 16 (19) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

A fair and largely reliable 7f winner in 2025; has his first run for nine months here but he has won off a break so is no forlorn hope. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer. |
13/2 |
|
6th 5 (12) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Left low-key seasonal debut behind when second at Leicester (7f, good; well backed) in April; remains on a good mark but was safely held when back at Leicester last month and is drawn wide here. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won four times last year including twice at Chester (7f/7.6f, good); only eighth of 14 on Carlisle reappearance last month but she had some major traffic issues and was only beaten around 4l; should be sharper this time and has claims if she can get back near best. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won four times last year (7f/7.5f) and also posted some other good efforts, including when third of 21 in a competitive handicap at York (7f, good) in October; didn't settle well enough at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen but the break may have done her some good. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Veteran who has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and hasn't prevailed in this sphere since York success three years ago; midfield when the 125-1 rank outsider back here last time. |
66/1 |

10th 8 (21) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 7f AW maiden as 3yo; very understated in early handicaps for this yard but he's been involved in three tight finishes at 1m3f and 1m2f on AW in 2026 and the step up to 2m in March looked more of an experiment than a plan; acts on turf and has claims back at 1m2f. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his 7f maiden win for Charles Hills in October 2024 but he has been banging at the door this year, placed on his last four starts (1m2f-1m4f); goes into unknown territory in terms of stamina and he's by Blue Point so there has to be a question mark. |

9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |
7/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |
20/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his third success when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March having got plenty of cover when there was a headwind; wasn't able to match that effort there 23 days ago and now steps back up in grade; returns to turf with place claims. |

Two creditable efforts for new stable and she has dropped to a career-low mark; should run her race and holds each-way claims back down in class. |
