17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways at Redcar (6f) in May and has continued in good nick, third of 12 there (6f) last time; this C&D scorer needs considering. |

Beat Mister Sky Blue by 2l to win over C&D this month but was comfortably held off this 6lb higher mark last week; consistent. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier. |
5/4 |
|
9th 11 (12) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Seemingly exposed gelding who has suddenly got on a roll since going back up in trip, scoring on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f), Musselburgh (12.5f) and over C&D last month; has to defy a further 4lb rise in a better race from the widest stall but he can't be ignored attempting a four-timer. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Weighted to her best still, despite having run poorly in two starts back; the visor worn for last year's three wins returns today, which is an obvious plus point and could bring about an improved showing. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
She won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and her current mark isn't necessarily beyond her; a market check is advised but she may need this comeback run. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The most recent of her five wins came at Catterick last July; third there over 7f in May but she's struggled in three outings since, including back at Catterick eight days ago; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Slow starts are becoming an issue and she's been well beaten on her last two starts; however, she showed spark when third over C&D (good) three runs ago and she won this last year (good to firm); not discounted. |
14/1 |

7th 6 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Likes it here but just one run of note since returning from a third bout of wind surgery in April and returning to this longer trip isn't a positive. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Unexposed 3yo; hasn't shown a great deal but on a lowly mark for handicap debut and worth monitoring in the market. |
6/1 |
|
6 (5) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ran well from out of the handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last week, poaching a big lead but reeled in close home; whether she can repeat that form in this bigger field remains to be seen. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winner under both codes in 2024; creditable second over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April but below that level since, including weakening when stepped back up to around 1m4f last time. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

AW winner for previous stable; far from solid on his form for current yard; drops back to 1m after attempting 1m5f at Ayr last time. |
33/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent 4yo who has been out of sorts in his three runs (1m/1m2f) this year; overall record is now 1-25 and he has plenty to prove at this new trip. |
33/1 |
|
11th 10 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent 4yo who is 1-24 and showed no benefit for wind surgery when last seen in February. |
