3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |

9st 3lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year and ran respectably at Nottingham in April, but he's 3lb above his highest winning mark and will need a career best if he's to go in again. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
In better heart than recent form-figures suggest, shaping encouragingly at Beverley on reappearance and poorly drawn at Ascot next time; usually runs at 5f but also successful at 6f; falling in weights and has each-way hopes. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form. |
4/1 |
|
4 (3) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list. |
10/1 |
|
13 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has mostly duck eggs in his form figures this term but won at Ripon (6f) in April and the return to this venue, combined with first-time visor, may have positive effect; scored over 5f last year. |
7/1 |
|
13th 11 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; has done well since joining Mark Walford, first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer and winning over the same C&D (good to soft) in April; has to bounce back from poor run at Ascot last time but that's certainly possible. |
14/1 |
|
10th 11 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Had a good season for new yard in 2025, winning on second start and running two excellent races at Ripon when returned to 6f, notably when first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid (good to firm) in August; confirmed his liking for that course when winning there three weeks ago and needs to prove he's the same horse elsewhere. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ideally suited by going around a left-hand bend, with his six wins coming here and at Wolverhampton; 10lb higher than for his win in this race last year and the widest draw isn't a big selling point today; cheekpieces join the hood today. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over C&D (good) last month; used up energy to get across to lead from a wide draw when fifth of ten over 5f here a fortnight ago and can be treated as if still in good form. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over 6f here (good) last month; 5f on ground slower than good also suits but he's not ideally drawn and recent 4lb rise demands even more from him. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strong traveller with eight wins on his record, the latest off this mark in March (5f, AW); well beaten in three starts for his new stable though and enough to prove at present. |
14/1 |
|
9 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |
|
8 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-6 on AW for new stable since the autumn but took good step back in right direction when close fourth at Lingfield (5f) last month and will be suited by this return to 6f on turf; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
12 (12) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins came on turf when trained by Hugo Palmer, the most recent at Chester in September; 0-12 on the AW but he did post a solid effort when a 1l fourth of seven at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago; steps back up in trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien but he struggled last season at trips ranging from 5f to 2m; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's now 1-16 and needs a major revival after 202 days off. |
16/1 |
