26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Placed in all three runs this year, racing wide when third of nine at Beverley (5f, good) ten days ago; trainer, who also saddles Tiriac, has won the last two runnings of this race. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Came good twice last summer and he's knocking at the door again, doing his best work late on when second at Carlisle (5f, good) four weeks ago; one of the likelier candidates. |
9/2 |

2nd 6 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Placed in AW contest on reappearance and has a fighting chance provided he builds on that effort; still well treated on his two wins (handicap/claimer) last summer. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
The winner of five of his 26 races, including on fast turf; suited by a sharp 5f and this is weaker than the two C&D handicaps he has been well held in this year; others may still have his measure today. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Saw off 11 rivals when scoring at Musselburgh (5f, good; Class 4) in April; found out in much stronger company since but has dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Musselburgh now back in slightly calmer waters; enters calculations. |
9/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Saw off 11 rivals when scoring at Musselburgh in April (5f, good; Class 4) but he has had his limitations exposed in stronger company twice since; beaten only 3l at York two weeks ago but others are more appealing in today's field. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

In good form on AW earlier in the year; unplaced both starts since returning to turf this summer and others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by 5f on a stiff track (two of his three wins have been at Beverley); fair fifth at Beverley with a visor tried last time (5f, good; pulled hard); regular cheekpieces back on here but soft ground a negative. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 6f at Southwell in January and two sound efforts after that; C&D record is 121, both wins on fast ground last term; visor replaces cheekpieces; well drawn; chance. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Now 3lb lower than when winning on AW at Newcastle (5f) in January; fair form on turf last twice, latest when 2l fourth at Thirsk (5f, good); has won on fast ground; each-way chance. |
6/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

C&D winner who got back on track with third of ten in 5f Pontefract handicap 25 days ago; in the mix again. |

3rd 3 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Two AW wins this winter; never in the hunt at Wetherby last month on his return to turf but he is effective over C&D and seems to handle any ground; not ruled out. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unable to land a telling blow when favourite here (6f) this month but was close third off much-reduced mark here two starts ago and ought to be suited by today's return to 7f; tongue-tie removed after one use; it might pay to give him another chance. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way last year after a spring win for Eve Johnson Houghton off 13lb higher; well supported ahead of his C&D comeback in February, when faring much better off this mark, and is one to consider in a first-time tongue-tie for a yard going well of late. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quite impressive when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton last spring; mixed efforts since but he's been running over an inadequate 5f for this yard, dropping 15lb in the process; might do much better back at 6f. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner whose five AW wins include two this year; often slowly away; has been running respectably off his lower turf mark of late but probably needs a bit more for the adding of a visor. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner and again ran well when dead-heating for second with Dream Deal behind Hover On The Wind here eight days ago; likely to be bang there again. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Scored narrowly off 1lb lower over C&D when completing an April double; unable to sustain a good start to the campaign, having shown a dip in form the last twice. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6yo who has enjoyed a renaissance in 2026, winning twice (5f, AW/good) and posting a close second at Ripon (5f, good) latest; there remains mileage in his mark judged on old form and this course winner is respected. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a record of 2-4 this term and scored over C&D (good) most recently; creeping back up the weights but remains well handicapped on historical data (peak mark was 15lb higher); major contender. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways on AW at Newcastle (5f; beating stablemate Herakles) in April; ran well from this revised mark at Pontefract (5f; third, reportedly bled from the nose) subsequently; trainer won this in 2021, 2022, and 2024, so he's one to have on the shortlist. |
4/1 |
