12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |
6/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m selling handicap (good to firm) at Thirsk when with George Boughey; has gone close a couple of times for this yard, including here (1m, good) 12 months ago when 3lb higher; below par in both starts this season but not written off. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close off this mark over C&D last backend and a good test over this trip is fine; quiet on his turf comeback and only has a selling handicap win to his name but he's quite capable. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained sole win in July 2024 on final start for previous yard; record of 0-9 for current stable doesn't tell the whole story as he's posted a few second-place finishes that represent peak form; capable of going well. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |

6th 8 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in June but he has failed to reproduce it in three turf outings since and came in last of 11 at Haydock (7f) eight days ago; others are much preferred. |
25/1 |

11th 4 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won on turf last April and snapped long losing run at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; however, well beaten back on turf on his last two starts and he needs to turn things around. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Sole win was on AW in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this summer and can only be watched; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
40/1 |
|
13th 11 (8) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came over 1m here in 2024; on a useful mark at present but has a question mark about current form, having dropped out on his final start for previous yard and on debut for this one, at Chester 13 days ago. |
40/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
1-20 for Julie Camacho, the win gained over 1m on Tapeta in September 2024; makes stable debut from workable mark and with trip/ground suitable but absent since two below-par AW runs in the winter. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has lost his form since a consistent spell and still has a poor strike-rate, with sole success in 2023; no certainty to take advantage of his reduced mark. |
12/1 |

7th 9 (9) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from 26 starts and he hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late, including when fitted with blinkers at Redcar on Wednesday; full revival required. |
14/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Sole win from 25 starts came in a novice at Southwell in December 2023; ran well when fourth there last month but he needs to bounce back from two disappointing runs since; blinkers now replace cheekpieces. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Close up in 7f events as a 3yo but she hasn't been her old self at 7f and 6f this year, in different headgear in two of her last three starts (none today); looks unlikely for now. |
20/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4yo maiden who has raced mainly at further; two duck eggs this term leave a doubt over current form; chance of revival depends on the effects of this belated return to sprinting, combined with first-time visor. |
13/2 |
|
10th 7 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Below best at the end of last season and also well held on 7f Catterick reappearance, taking her record to 0-13; a subsequent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect. |
16/1 |
