Enjoyed an excellent 2025 and she signed off with a 1m4f listed success at Toulouse in October; remains quite low mileage, so can do better still this season. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |

2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |

5th 5 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to winning form at Windsor (11.4f, soft) last month, but didn't shape as though he wanted a drop in trip when third of five at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) 17 days later; cheekpieces given a go. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Now 6b lower than when coming from off the pace to open account at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) in September but has been out of form this year (four runs) and needs to turn a corner. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won over 1m1f here (soft) last September when 3lb higher but he's beaten only one rival in the course of his three races this year; probably stays 1m2f but well beaten in his three attempts at 1m4f; risky. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Won over C&D (soft) last September when 1lb higher and he's one to watch in the betting, especially if the ground is on the slow side; however, he's been tailed off on both starts this season. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Two solid runner-up efforts in 2026 and he won't mind what the weather does; sneaking up the weights but no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good go. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row last May/June (8.3f/1m1f, good/soft) and beaten just a head on this month's reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); this front-runner has a progressive profile and is one to consider today. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D and gave good account when staying-on third over C&D (good) a week ago; still on the same workable mark and has another big role to play. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D; disappointing favourite when well-held third of six at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) 11 days ago but won over 1m3f there a week earlier and has claims if judged on that form. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
8yo who won here (1m3f, good) last Wednesday on his second start back from a break; he'll be fine back up in trip and Kayleigh Williams made a dream start to her riding career when winning on a stablemate this month; strong claims under a 4lb penalty. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first race since joining the Quinns at Pontefract (1m, good to soft; 25-1) last month; went back up 7lb and he ran well off new mark when third at Nottingham (8.5f, good to soft) 19 days ago; good claims. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-Irish; market support proved misguided on his third and fourth British starts, which he followed with 25-1 win at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, coming from last in a nine-runner race; back up 7lb, still well treated on his old Irish form. |
