1st 4 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (5f) in June and posted a good second of five over C&D 16 days ago; this C&D winner can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D last August and at Pontefract (5f, good) on June 8 this year; 4l fourth of six at Nottingham (5f, soft) three days later, which may have come too soon; could make a bold bid. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has course form; 6f and 5f wins have come on a variety of tracks and he's won two of his six 5f runs since having wind surgery, most recently at Pontefract (good; acts well on soft) on Monday; unpenalised for that apprentice win under Oliver Carmichael; leading claims. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |
11/2 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
4th 14 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
3-31 for Tim Easterby, including a Catterick win (5f, good) last August; second at Lingfield (6f, AW) on stable debut in December but not so good in her three runs since, so others have more pressing claims; some headgear (not used by current yard) returns. |
9/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-Tim Easterby; Catterick winner last August (5f, good) and good second at Lingfield on stable debut (6f) in December; last two runs have been a bit disappointing. |

8th 6 (9) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Took this in 2025 but winless since and just a fair fifth of eight over C&D five days ago; this veteran needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
It's now 13 starts since he scored over C&D last July and he's largely been below par this season, seventh of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 11 days ago; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
C&D scorer who ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when third (Wee Mary second) over C&D (good) eight days ago; his best form of 2025 came at this time of the year so it's possible he can build on that. |

Arrives out of sorts, finishing well behind Wee Mary and stablemate Sixcor in two outings over C&D this month. |

7th 10 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Arrives out of sorts, last of seven over C&D on his return 16 days ago; it's now 13 runs since his C&D success back in 2024. |
33/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
His only win since July 2019 came over this C&D but it is easy enough to look elsewhere now he returns from a 213-day break. |
33/1 |
