13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came in game fashion on soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) in October and he ran a fine race when runner-up behind Blue Wonder at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) on his reappearance 22 days ago, coming clear of the rest; on the shortlist. |

2nd 7 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ninth start when off the mark in game fashion from the front at Doncaster (1m2f, soft; 6lb higher today) in October under Ben Ffrench Davis; out of the handicap when appearing to run well 11 days later (1m2f, good) and he needs a second look on this reappearance. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |
9/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |

In form and pretty consistent but he's exposed and hasn't won for almost two years; likely to give his running but vulnerable to younger legs. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Lighty raced for her age and made quite promising seasonal debut when third at Lingfield (1m2f) in April but ought to have been well suited by the good to soft turf when below that form at Ffos Las (1m4f; favourite) last month and has a point to prove here. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced and her two wins have been over 1m2f on good to soft and soft; perhaps a tad high in the weights but her AW reappearance was respectable and this scenario suits her better. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In good form on soft turf during light campaign last year, most notably when winning over today's trip at Windsor; should be okay back on Polytrack but has fitness to prove after six-month break; market helpful. |

9st 4lb |
Two wins from 29 starts, with the most recent success coming in April over this C&D; had cheekpieces back on (retained) when runner-up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days ago and holds good claims off the same mark. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Blew the start at Carlisle 13 days ago, so possible to forgive that, and is just 1lb higher than when winning at Thirsk (1m, good) in April; this stiff mile should suit her well and one of the more interesting ones. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Doubled her tally when winning at Thirsk (1m) in April; has continued to run with credit and it was a very solid fourth of 16 at York (1m1f, also good) 11 days ago; firmly in the picture again. |

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. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Only 2-54 and a long time has passed since that second success; well handicapped on some form over 1m6f last season but he was up and down last year and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

Is enjoying a fine season and she bagged a fourth success at Ripon (1m2f) in May; posted another good effort when beaten a short head in 1m1f Carlisle handicap four days ago; well in the mix again off the same mark. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Still capable of winning off 30lb higher exactly two years ago, but basically consistent at a lower level these days, and still well suited by a galloping turf track; this step up to 1m4f looks long overdue. |

Not particularly solid on his form (three attempts) for new stable and is 0-5 on turf, with both wins on AW; on a reduced mark but isn't the percentage call. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Won off 3lb higher at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last March but he's not matched that form since and was beaten 6l over C&D and at Redcar (1m2f) last month; hasn't been with Ruth Carr for long but he needs to raise his game back on AW. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner for the Newland/Insole stable; changed hands for 9,000gns in July and his sixth of eight on stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 16 days ago was a little more encouraging than it seems; needs a step forward, though, and soft ground would be a query. |

10st 2lb |
Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here. |
2/1 |
|
6th 7 (12) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Only his third run for Jim Goldie when scoring at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and off a 2lb rise he was a closing third over 1m1f here (good) when not assisted by his track position; bang in form and should run well. |
15/8 |
|
3rd 15 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Just his third run for Jim Goldie when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton (1m1f, good) nine days ago; only nudged up 2lb and remains well treated on old form (won last year's Spring Mile at Doncaster off 10lb higher); top of the list. |

Won debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last April; fourth in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September but yet to make much of an impact in handicaps, so he can't be the percentage call on this first start since leaving Craig Lidster; tongue tied first time. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |

Fair form at Newbury (1m, good) in April on debut but soundly beaten both starts since, 20-1 at Sandown last time when trying 1m2f (there are stamina influences in his pedigree); unconvincing for this handicap debut but it's a bit too early for the debut run to be forgotten. |
