20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) last October on second handicap start and followed up on reappearance at Southwell (2m, AW) in April; tailed off in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) since but showed signs of post-race ataxia; retains potential and could bounce back with a bold show. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
4yo who has had just six races, on last two occasions winning well in handicaps at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) in October and Southwell (slowly run 2m, AW; gelded) four weeks ago; raised another 6lb and substantially in class, but he's probably going places and is one for the shortlist. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and gained his fourth success when landing a 2m1f handicap in first-time cheekpieces (discarded today) last month on his final start for Brian Ellison; 3lb higher on this stable debut and he's won his only previous start on the AW. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June when back from a break; unplaced at odds-on over hurdles next time and also below par when back on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) most recently; however, the first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift and there can be optimism that this trip will be within range; trainer won this last year; in calculations. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Plenty of ability but no win after six starts; hung badly left on reappearance in April and he was eased right down in July next time; gelded before 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield one month ago, in which he nearly redeemed himself but hanging left again did not help; dam won at up to 1m6f and he may yet come good, but there are clearly risks. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has plenty of ability but he looked an awkward ride when third of nine at Nottingham (1m2f) in April and he was eased right down on handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f; 9-4) in July; gelded since and may yet redeem himself back on AW, having run well here in the past. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Favourite for handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) and improved his rating again in third of nine off this mark, but hanging badly left in the final 2f interfered with his effort; likely to stay and still has potential if he's been straightened out in his 100-day absence. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts in next two starts and he had an excuse here last time, when he got hampered by a faller; now only 1lb higher than for that last success and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Successful at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month and that has been followed by two solid runs, the latest at Beverley on Tuesday; one of three runners for Tim Easterby. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Visored for the first time when scoring here (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for this stable; takes a marked drop in trip from plummeting mark in added cheekpieces so worth a cursory market glance; would be a first winner on her third ride for Megan Smith. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |

Visored for the first time when scoring at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he was well beaten on his yard debut at Yarmouth three weeks ago; others preferred. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
1-14 for Charlie Johnston, the win coming off 7lb higher at Newmarket last summer (1m4f); that was in a new visor and he struggled afterwards, including in blinkers that are now reapplied; joined this yard for 1,000gns. |
