5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 when completing a hat-trick over C&D (third C&D success) in October but he's yet to fire this summer, soon ridden when only seventh of ten over C&D 16 days ago; has something to prove now. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoyed a revival in second half of last season, winning four times here (1m-1m2f, good-heavy); well down the field on last month's reappearance outing, though, and remains on a tough mark. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Redcar (good to firm) last summer off 2lb lower; not at her best over 1m this year; cheekpieces discarded today. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Record is only 1-13 and her form has dipped a touch in two outings this term; normally a consistent sort otherwise and, as per many times, has frame possibilities if back on song. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (13) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over 7f here last June and made the frame on her other five outings last season; made low-key reappearance last month but remains unexposed over 1m and has possibilities if boosted by new cheekpieces. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Scored six times, mostly at Ayr, last season; beaten only a neck, despite being out 4lb of the weights, at Musselburgh five days ago; holds a fighting chance, back off proper mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Six wins in 2025 over a range of trips (7f-1m2f) and ground; encouraging reappearance over C&D but not so good since and doubtful whether today will be the day from out of the weights. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won four times here (7f-1m, good to firm-heavy) last year and showed career-best form when second in valuable Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) on seasonal debut in April; two lesser efforts have followed (1m-1m4f) but he still enters calculations. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field over 6f and then in a higher grade than this on last two starts but he has more going for him back over C&D, having won his first attempt last August (good) and then quite readily in May (good to firm); solid claims for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination. |
7/1 |
|
15th 20 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, surging back to form when scoring there on good to firm last month; a lesser run over 6f has followed but a revival isn't ruled out back at 7f from a good draw. |
25/1 |
|
11th 15 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, and he surged back to form when scoring there ten days ago; still lightly raced, in excellent hands, and should be at least as effective over this trip on a stiff track; a danger to all at the foot of the weights. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins over 1m at Ripon last season (good/good to firm); a bit disappointing this term (4l fourth of seven at Pontefract latest) but on a good mark now. |
11/2 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 1m handicaps last summer at Ripon, from 25 races overall; backward steps in his three starts this season leave him 3lb below last winning mark but with plenty to prove currently. |
25/1 |
|
11th 10 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
8.4f second or third last spring on his three outings at this track, twice from the front; two 1m wins at Ripon last summer, showing form which has not been recaptured this season but he has a competitive mark. |

11st 0lb |
16-race maiden under rules; has been struggling on the Flat during the summer and made a belated return to hurdles when seventh of ten finishers at Perth (2m, soft) nine days ago; steps up in trip and has work to do. |

Veteran who is 3-15 over C&D on ground ranging from good to soft; hard to predict these days, but capable of running well off if putting his mind to it. |

Went close last time at Catterick (7f, good) but following one good run with another can be challenging these days; has form on soft ground but 7f is his trip. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-race maiden; creditable third in a 7f handicap last month on only previous run here; can be forgiven a below-par run back on turf on first try at 1m last time (soft ground); needs to find a bit more. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not progressing in handicaps, despite making the frame at Newcastle last week (7f); unraced on ground this slow and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who hasn't really progressed since handicapping; didn't look suited by the drop back to 6f at Doncaster (good to firm) 40 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this second AW run. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Has posted her most encouraging British performances in C&D sellers, respectable third in latest start; has unconvincing handicap form but may fare better off current mark. |
10/1 |
|
4 (1) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won the equivalent race 12 months ago; however, this is a stronger race and she's found things very tough this season. |
25/1 |

9th 4 (5) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won a seller in October but no worthwhile form in five handicaps since then. |
