15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Back on track with second at Redcar (5f) in April but has finished down the field twice since; bounce back needed. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair 5f scorer who got back on track with second at Redcar (5f) in April; not best drawn when tenth in 5f Thirsk handicap since and remains one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won off this mark at Newcastle (5f; 7-1; first-time visor) last September but mostly disappointing since until chasing home Beerwah at Redcar (5f, good to firm; 16-1) five weeks ago; is 5lb better off with that rival here; one of two for trainer Michael Dods. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

All four wins have came on AW but has been placed on her last two runs on turf; needs a shade more to win but not out of this. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Made low-key seasonal/stable debut over 6f last month but placed twice over 5f since, more recently when second on AW a week ago; back in action before 2lb rise takes effect; respected. |

A fair and reliable 5f AW winner for David O'Meara in 2025; comes here on the back of a solid third of 11 for her new stable in 5f Thirsk handicap 13 days ago so can't be ruled out. |

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. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from 21 starts and that was in a maiden in August 2024; has dropped a long way in the weights but he generally struggled for Nigel Tinkler last year and was last of ten on recent stable debut at Newcastle (7f, AW); visor is now added. |
40/1 |
|
10th 12 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; best effort this year came over C&D two weeks ago but he enjoyed a clear run while several of those in behind got in each other's way; more needed to win. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win away from Tapeta, and while June's half-length second in a Doncaster handicap (6f, good to firm) represents his nearest ever miss on turf, it's been diminishing returns from him again since. |
8/1 |

7th 14 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time AW winner but 0-14 on turf; his last two runs on grass have offered hope that he can win a small race on fast ground though and he is one for the shortlist. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Has won three times on AW, but 0-13 on turf; however, went close last time when beaten 0.5l at Doncaster (6f, good); each-way chance. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him). |
8/1 |
|
14th 9 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps on AW in December; not quite so good in either run this year and he returns to turf with a career-best required; Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his tally when landing a C&D handicap in December and followed up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on his next start; respectable effort when stepped up to this grade there 32 days ago, but first-time the blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to bring out a bit more. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Punished for his win in a weak C&D maiden last November and the handicapper has been in command this year; more realistically treated again now but this won't be an easy race in which to try and dominate. |
16/1 |
|
9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Limited impact in handicaps since winning a four-runner C&D maiden in November and he let his many supporters down when flopping on return visit here last time; continues to fall down the weights so interesting to see if his backers return. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |
|
13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |

6th 5 (10) |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Useful 2yo form at 6f, including on this track, but has had just four runs since and he's been soundly beaten in two runs after missing the whole of 2024; already 9lb lower than the first of them but lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising 2yo, including a soft-ground Redcar win (6f); absent for 713 days prior to finishing tailed off in a 7f handicap at Redcar in April; that was his only run for Geoff Oldroyd and he's now back with his original trainer (and running in his colours) so presumably not felt to be a busted flush; risky but could yet bounce back. |
