5th 6 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Landed 5f Newcastle novice on third start and ended her juvenile campaign with a good second in 5f Chelmsford nursery; below par in 5f Wolverhampton handicap on reappearance in March and off for a further 12 weeks ahead of this return to the turf. |

9st 3lb |
Landed a Newcastle novice (5f) on her third attempt last September on her AW debut before finishing second on her nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f) the following month; off since but must come into contention if she is ready to roll. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Back-to-back C&D wins in December and up against it from where he was when a close fifth back here in February; perhaps didn't take a liking to Southwell when below par there last time and could still be on the upgrade. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Dual Lingfield winner (6f, Polytrack) in December, but finished behind a couple of these when fifth of 12 there a fortnight ago; was up against it in attempting to come from so far back, though, so it wouldn't be a surprise were he to fare better; |
5/1 |

5th 4 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Returned from a gelding operation to win back-to-back C&D nurseries in December; came up just short in his hat-trick bid at Newcastle six weeks ago but it was another step forward in form terms; return to Lingfield should help and Ashley Lewis takes off a useful 5lb; good chance. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed efforts for Ann Duffield last season, his best effort when third in a C&D novice in September; very well handicapped on that form, and having since been gelded and given a wind op, is one with a chance; cheekpieces now tried. |
5/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

125-1 when third of 13 in a Newcastle novice (5f, AW) last month and proved that was no fluke when beaten half a length into second of four behind a previous winner (clear of the third) on nursery debut at Catterick (5f, soft) four weeks ago; races off same mark and high on the list. |

Gained a first win in 5f Southwell novice in November but has failed to kick on, hooded when a hanging sixth of eight in 5f Haydock handicap on his return eight days ago; more is needed. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Made all at Southwell (5f, AW) last November on third start then disappointing on nursery debut at Newcastle (5f, AW); however, he could settle better in a first-time hood on this reappearance and is not ruled out. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed maiden; underwent wind surgery prior to last week's good third at Thirsk (5f, good; tongue tied first time); today's stiffer test will suit and he should have a bigger run in him soon. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed 3yo who showed clear promise in novice events but he was beaten 14l on his handicap debut at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; had wind surgery since but he needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added after a short break. |

Won a Redcar nursery on handicap debut last October (5f, good); disappointing since, including two runs over this C&D; others preferred. |
33/1 |
|
8th 12 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Improved when justifying support with a brave win on nursery debut at Redcar (5f, good; 2-1) last autumn; hasn't reproduced that form in two outings this year and perhaps best watched unless the betting hints at a revival. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (8) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Raced three times last term, clear best effort when second of seven over C&D (good) on debut; major player if back to that form, and this reappearance may be the time to catch him; hood applied. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won on his handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last September but has mixed record since; well held in his last two runs but he had some traffic issues at Thirsk last time and is now 1lb lower than for his win; not ruled out with visor added. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (11) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won on his handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in September and bounced back from two lesser efforts when third at Ripon (6f, good); below that level having raced freely over 7f last time but should be happier back down in trip. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 6f nursery at Redcar (good to soft) in September; slow start to this campaign but his third at Ripon (6f, good) was a personal best and the step up to 7f could spark further progress; high on the list. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who began this season with two perfectly respectable runs (one over C&D) and did well to take modest third after losing ground at the start at Redcar (5f, good) last month; edging down the weights; big player if he breaks on terms. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Improved with each 2yo start, winning a Yarmouth novice (5f, good to soft) in October; respectable fifth in handicaps at Sandown (5f, good) and Windsor (6f, good to firm) this year; this represents a slight ease in grade; likely to go well. |
3/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
All runs at 5f; improved with each 2yo start, winning a Yarmouth novice (good to soft) in October; tapped for speed on his seasonal/handicap debut at Sandown in April, but he was keeping on well close home and the step up to 6f could prompt further progress; ground faster than good will be a first. |

8st 10lb |
Not beaten far into fourth of ten on his Catterick reappearance (5f, good) in April, but hasn't fared any better in three outings since; stable has won two of the last six runnings; no headgear today. |
10/1 |
|
4 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Best of his seven runs was on second handicap start when 3.25l fifth of nine at Nottingham last time (5f, good; cheekpieces on for first time and retained); each-way chance. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Reappeared with a promising fourth on handicap debut at Catterick (5f, good) last month but he's finished out the back in both subsequent runs; a tongue-tie didn't work last time and he needs major revival with cheekpieces now tried. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
11-race maiden who is unraced on Polytrack but he ran well when second at Newcastle (7f) this month, when denied a clear run, and can be in the mix if backing up that performance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (11) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Remains winless but he got back on track when third of eight in 1m handicap here 19 days ago; can race off a 2lb lower mark here so he's very much one to consider. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

In good form without winning until beating only two in 1m Southwell handicap four weeks ago; cheekpieces are removed now and no surprise to see him bounce back. |

Some promise on turf last August; struggled in handicaps since and tongue-tie worn when last of 14 at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) is left off; not one to give up on. |
16/1 |

14th 12 (9) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Some promise on turf last August; struggled on AW since, including both handicap runs, but she has dropped 7lb and returns to turf at a realistic level; too soon to write her off. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No penalty for winning a weak apprentice handicap at Beverley last Tuesday but she scrambled home at a big price there and is unlikely to go up much anyway; now has to back it up and doubt she'd want rain (taken out on good to soft ground recently). |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
She's raced six times and best effort yet when fifth of eight at 33-1 at Ripon (5f, good) last Wednesday, but another step forward is necessary. |
12/1 |

5th 9 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Failed to beat a rival in two starts for Kevin Ryan, and has not done much better since joining David O'Meara; still unexposed but she needs major improvement to get involved. |
