1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f AW winner for Kevin Ryan; second of ten in a 5f classified event at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut 13 days ago; no problem with conditions and he's one to take seriously. |
10/1 |

2nd 9 (8) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed four times at 6f/7f for David Thompson in 2025 but cheekpieces tried when only 11th in 6f Newcastle handicap in December; has gone well fresh so not out of things for new yard. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course win for Kevin Ryan came over 6f and his solid placed efforts for new yard have come over 6f and 7f; handicapped to go well but dropping 5f is a slight concern. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |
11/2 |

8th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |

4th 14 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on the AW and he's won just once on turf in the last three years; however, he only just lost out over 5f at Catterick (good) in May and has a decent run in him if on song. |
20/1 |

4th 10 (12) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course winner who was fourth of 13 in this last year and was a close second at Catterick last month; however, this inconsistent 9yo has been soundly beaten on his last two starts and has to leave those runs behind. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Has won over this intermediate distance; good second at Catterick on second start (5f, good) this season but below his best either side of that. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
One of his four wins for earlier trainers came over C&D; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season but he ran off 68 on the first of them and gets in here off just 54; interesting to see if there is any market support with headgear returning. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner including over C&D; his last success was 17 months ago but he returned after a short break with an eye-catching fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, Tapeta) last week; didn't get much luck in that race and he's in the mix back up in trip; visor reapplied. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

His C&D third in March was his only effort of note since wind surgery last summer; it hasn't been a springboard to better things and he's not a solid option. |

4th 7 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best. |

Gained a second win of 2026 at Musselburgh (5f) in June; only seventh of 11 in 5f Ayr handicap three days ago so she needs to bounce back. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Only turf win came off a 7lb lower mark at Musselburgh in June (5f, good); two decent runs since then, goes well on fast ground and one to consider. |

4th 3 (8) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Made all over C&D (good) at the beginning of the month and very nearly repeated the feat last week, collared only in the final strides; same mark today and another bold bid looks assured in her current mood. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won two 6f turf handicaps last July; encouraging return from a 294-day break at Catterick in August and this stiffer test at the trip should suit; still to prove her effectiveness on AW. |

Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions. |

Yet to win away from Tapeta, and while June's half-length second in a Doncaster handicap (6f, good to firm) represents his nearest ever miss on turf, it's been diminishing returns from him again since. |

Winning return from a long absence in early 2025 but she's finding it hard to sustain her effort in sprints on AW and turf this year, even allowing for finishing second of eight on Newcastle AW (5f) in June; headgear left off; up against it. |

With Roger Fell when winning a weak 0-50 classified at Newcastle (6f; 20-1) in February 2025; no joy since for Kieran Burke (0-3) or Gary Harrison (0-11); weakened from the two-furlong pole at Redcar (6f; eighth of 11) latest; new blinkers today; look elsewhere. |
