17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner in first-time blinkers last September; also successful last time when getting up to win at a head at Thirsk (6f, good); up 2lb; should go well. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown her best form at Hamilton since joining Phil Makin, winning in added blinkers there (similar mark) last September; did well to finish fourth (met trouble) on seasonal reappearance at Newcastle but took backward step there next time; is capable if fully firing. |
10/1 |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Yard among the winners of late and this mare made a pleasing C&D comeback early in the month, especially given she hit traffic; entitled to have come on for that first run in six months and goes on the shortlist. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |
100/30 |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |
9/4 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Invigorated by a step up to 7f this winter, winning three times at Newcastle; latest success was smooth and a 4lb rise does not look harsh; leading contender again if proving equally effective at Southwell. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Successful at Beverley (5f, good) last month and ever better efforts when runner-up twice at Pontefract (both 5f, good) since; dual C&D winner last year so no reason why his run of good form won't continue. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1lb below his previous winning mark when successful at Beverley (5f, good) last month before dead-heating for second with Betweenthesticks behind Hover On The Wind over C&D eight days ago; enjoyed anything but a clear run then and he may emerge best of the trio this time granted more luck. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
13-race maiden; two decent seconds this season, including last time when beaten 1.25l in a 6f handicap at Pontefract (good; ran on well in closing stages); interesting on first try at 7f. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Still a maiden and balance of form this season doesn't strongly suggest he'll defy top weight in this field; on a positive note, he's nicely treated on peak 3yo efforts. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

11-race maiden; fair second at Nottingham on reappearance in April (6f, good) but well beaten on AW debut latest; could bounce back. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice last July, including when beating 17 rivals in the corresponding race (good ground; 2lb lower today); arrived in better form last year but she can't be discounted. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to strike form after two 5f runs this season; now 2lb lower than for the second of last summer's two 6f wins, though, and it probably won't be much longer before she gets back in the groove. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Last summer's two wins came over 6f, the second of them off this mark; should come on for her recent return to action but others appeal more for win purposes. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins over 5f/6f last season; back to winning ways at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces back on); not ideally drawn but a contender off 4lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (15) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three sprint handicaps last spring and he is now 9lb lower than for the last of them; 2026 had been a struggle until he emerged from the doldrums with a good second at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; now has something to build on. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row over 6f at Ripon (good) last May but he's been out of sorts this season and was last eight back here three weeks ago; now 9lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |
14/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten a nose by Mrs Trump in this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not at his best this year but his Redcar fourth in May offered hope he could add to his 11 wins. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Recorded his tenth turf win when scoring at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in October; now 2lb lower than for that success but he's been short of spark in three runs this season and needs to raise his game. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seemingly perked up by change of headgear when winning from the front at Thirsk (6f, good; first-time visor) in April and again ran well when third of 17 over that C&D last month; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

13 (14) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

5f win at Beverley 12 months ago; best effort in 2025 when third of 11 at Southwell three weeks ago (6f, AW); has the rail draw but not sure to be in the same form this time. |
16/1 |

3rd 10 (10) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

7th 12 (8) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Proved resurgent in first-time cheekpieces at Leicester (classified race) most recently but has her limitations and remains a maiden. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
20-race maiden who has finished down the field in her three runs (5f-7f) this season; cheekpieces are now added but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred. |
