17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
A dual winner (around 1m) in 2025 but he's yet to fire this season, only ninth of 11 in 1m Redcar handicap four weeks ago; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped 8lb lower than when last winning a handicap for good reason; his last two starts didn't suggest a return to winning ways was imminent. |
14/1 |

9th 6 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 17 times since she last won, here (1m1f, good to soft) in September 2024; however, she's run a lot of good races in the meantime and was third of nine at Carlisle (1m, soft) recently; might not be far away. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Losing run is mounting up and her three fourth placings this season reflect stagnation, rather than building towards a win; that said, she has won over C&D (soft) and returns here off a workable mark. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
On a losing run but this C&D scorer comes here in decent nick, fourth of 12 in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap three weeks ago; 2lb out of the handicap here though. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Gained all four wins over 7f+ and is yet to hit top gear this season but attracted stewards' attention when keeping on for sixth under tender handling over C&D (soft) last month and remains well handicapped; one to keep a close eye on in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
6th 12 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time winner, all over 7f-1m, but none since May 2024; has run well over C&D in the past and rain won't bother him; beaten favourite in Class 5 events on his last two starts and this is tougher. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in the winter (9.4f/1m2f); it's possible he's gone off the boil but when beaten 8l in ninth of 13 at Newmarket a fortnight ago he was denied a clear passage before keeping on nicely; not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW over the winter but he seems to have gone off the boil, well beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday; not so effective yet on turf; others make more appeal. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and over this C&D in January; below best at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest and he's running in a higher grade than he's used to, but he has an each-way shout on the pick of his winter form. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runs; major improvement for this yard in 2025, winning five times, including over C&D; improved on those efforts when coming clear in fine style over 1m here (good) on reappearance but she ran poorly when going unpenalised at Redcar next time and now has an 8lb higher mark on her plate; probably wouldn't want much rain. |
7/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner who won five times last April-July (good/good to firm) and took it up another notch with easy all-the-way win in 13-runner Musselburgh handicap (1m, good) under Tom Kiely-Marshall on reappearance 11 days ago; that was an apprentice race so she escapes a penalty and is 9lb well in compared to her future mark. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Two 1m wins on turf last season and added another on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in December; however, he needs to produce a bigger performance than he's managed across his four outings this year. |
40/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Lingfield (AW) in December on first crack at 1m2f and raced wide when sixth of 14 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month; this two-time turf winner remains unexposed at today's trip and is not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Lingfield (Polytrack) in December on first crack at 1m2f; another big run when third of five in Listed race there (1m2f) next time; bounced back from lesser run when staying on for seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently and he could be in the mix now back up in trip. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |
16/1 |

9th 3 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |
