3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
String of solid runs this year, aside from when not handling the Ripon undulations in May; again inclined to pull hard when beaten on the nod last time and is given a first go over 5f off the back of it (only 1lb higher); holds claims in an open handicap. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win for her current yard at Yarmouth (6f) in April but she failed to beat a rival when tailed off in nine-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 30 days ago when back on turf; has something to prove now. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish in his first turf run at this level when winning over C&D (good) last week; this could take more winning under a penalty (goes up the same amount in future) but he's open to improvement. |

Has run well in AW handicaps without progressing and latest run in January was a backward step; others preferred. |

Seven-race maiden who isn't progressing; not beaten far on his last two starts but needs improvement for the step up in trip. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A fair 8.5f winner for David Loughnane in 2025; little show first two runs for new yard but much better signs (in change of headgear) with third of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month; not out of things on his first go over this trip. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last October in first-time cheekpieces and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time blinkers today, but he's struggled on both runs this season and a major turnaround is necessary. |
25/1 |
|
11th 8 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven races last year for David Loughnane and sole win in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW) in October in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept when never dangerous in his two starts since; latest was stable/seasonal debut (25-1) and maybe he needed that run, but others have more pressing claims. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; sported first-time blinkers when running out a surprise 33-1 winner on stable/seasonal debut at Navan (6f, yielding) 13 days ago; should go well again. |

Maiden ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; wears blinkers for the first time on yard debut and market likely good guide. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 3-3 on AW with convincing success over this trip at Southwell in May but a 10lb rise proved more than enough to find him out at York since, taking his turf record to 0-9. |
12/1 |
|
10th 3 (18) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 on AW with convincing success over this trip at Southwell two weeks ago; however, he's gone up 10lb and his turf form is at a much lower level. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing at Pontefract (6f, soft) on his final start last year but bounced back to form on his reappearance with a win over this C&D, making it 2-2 on the AW (gelded prior to that); not discounted off this 2lb higher mark. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field over this C&D (good); clearly progressive and a 4lb rise for last time may not stop her. |
3/1 |
|
1st 12 (7) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has started her 2026 campaigned in good fettle (over 6f) and got off the mark in Ripon contest (good) last time; has form over 7f; likely to remain competitive. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ten-race maiden but she has finished second on four occasions, including her seasonal return four weeks ago (6f, good to firm; handles soft); runs off the same mark and holds each-way claims once again. |
9/2 |
