16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner who made an encouraging reappearance at Thirsk in April; hasn't built on it, but this drop to 5f (for just the third time in a long career) is an interesting move and the fitting of a tongue-strap might help too; well drawn on the rail. |
9/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who made an encouraging seasonal debut in higher-grade contest at Thirsk (6f good; visored) in April; not in same form on either start since (blinkers refitted last time) but has slipped to a tempting mark. |
12/1 |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Two-time C&D winner; unplaced but ran with credit in two Thirsk handicaps last month; type to pop up soon off a reduced mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won at Catterick over 7f last year and she doubled her tally when scoring over C&D (good) last month; solid third under a 5lb penalty (effectively this mark) six days later and she's firmly in the picture. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (12) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Hinted at a revival on penultimate start and comfortably took advantage of a reduced mark at Carlisle (6f, good) last Monday; even with 5lb penalty she's still favourably treated on peak form; respected, assuming the widest draw doesn't prove a hindrance. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Generally disappointing since last summer's win at Catterick (7f, good to firm) but her keeping-on fourth at Hamilton (6f, good) 11 days ago was a step back in the right direction; interesting to see whether she can build on that effort. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing sequence and she was retried in cheekpieces when beating just one in 5f Newcastle handicap in February last time; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fourth (beaten 1l+) to Azucena over C&D on penultimate start, and wasn't far off the principals when fifth to Digital (Shatin Venture second, Azucena fourth) here nine days ago; possible she's able to take advantage of joint career-low mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Handicap mark has tumbled for this yard and there have been more positive signs on her last two starts; better off with the three runners who beat her over C&D last month and not ruled out. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A four-time winner in 2025 (including over C&D) and he comes here on the back of an encouraging fifth of 11 in 6f Thirsk handicap four days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored four times (5f/6f) in 2025; shaped encouragingly when seventh of 11 in 6f Redcar handicap 22 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages; considered off a 2lb lower mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won this last year off 7lb lower, when rank outsider in a small field; possible she didn't take to Ripon last time, after a career-best effort at Pontefract, but she's often done for early pace over this trip and needs to get it bang on off this mark. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Good record on turf for new yard, winning cosily at Pontefract 18 days ago (5f, good); a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Far from consistent this season but got up in the final strides over C&D (good to firm; off 1lb higher) in May; possibilities provided he's back in similar form and the race again pans out favourably. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed winning ways at Beverley (5f) in May but failed to beat a rival in ten-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f) 18 days ago; this course scorer has a bit to prove now. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-6 on AW for new stable since the autumn but took good step back in right direction when close fourth at Lingfield (5f) last month and will be suited by this return to 6f on turf; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
12 (12) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins came on turf when trained by Hugo Palmer, the most recent at Chester in September; 0-12 on the AW but he did post a solid effort when a 1l fourth of seven at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago; steps back up in trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Currently 2-4 over C&D (also finished fourth in this last year off 4lb lower); a disappointing effort last time will need forgiving but the return here will help, this time with 7lb being taken off by Jake Dickson. |
8/1 |
|
9th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored three times off lower marks in May-July last term (ended up with a peak mark 7lb higher than current one); generally consistent since, running-on third at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Veteran who has returned from a break in fine form and won by a length over this far at Wetherby (good to firm); back up 4lb but had dropped to a good mark. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Not the best of strike-rates but two good seconds at Redcar this season; plum draw and one with a chance. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Only a length away over C&D on his return from 222 days away but no certainty to follow one good run with another, and he finds winning difficult (1-31). |
13/2 |
