14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All wins for former yard came over 6f but he does stay this longer trip; didn't run badly on last month's stable debut but others appeal more for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his 34 starts for Richard Fahey, the latest off this mark at Newcastle in January (6f); sold for 19,000gns last month; capable at this level and the betting should be revealing starting out for Adam Kirby. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (14) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning here (6f, AW) in January but he has a mixed record since and was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford last month; this return to 7f is no problem but he needs to get back in the groove. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Two course wins, the latest over this trip last October off a 4lb lower mark; good second two weeks ago and this veteran can make another bold bid. |

He was ending a losing run when scrambling home in a C&D handicap last October; finished lame when down the field here one month later; others are more appealing. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended losing run with an emphatic success at Wolverhampton (5f) six weeks ago and the runner-up has done his bit for the form since; still seeking a first turf win though and following up off 7lb higher won't be easy. |
7/2 |

1st 4 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
12th 8 (12) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win in ten starts for current stable but he has been placed in seven of them, including back on turf at Wetherby 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); should run his race but this looks a tough race in which to end his losing streak. |

C&D win last April came off a 5lb higher mark; good second at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but unable to back it up at Southwell one week later (both 7f); chance if back to his best. |

8th 10 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in April; now 2lb lower and no problem with the return to 7f, but he needs to fare better than in his last three starts. |

Often a slow starter but he got away on level terms when landing 5.5f Doncaster handicap eight days ago; not out of things under a 5lb penalty. |

7th 6 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Gained all four wins over 6f on good or faster ground; shaped as though worth another crack at 7f when keeping-on fifth over the stiff 6f at Pontefract (good; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago but others appeal more all the same; tongue-tie refitted. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time 6f AW scorer in 2025; built on earlier promise to gain a first turf victory in 7f Chester handicap a week ago, making all and drawing right away last 1f for 8l success; major shout under a 5lb penalty. |
5/4 |

1st 2 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form on his second run after wind surgery when a front-running second at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he's 6lb lower than last time and is well handicapped on his second at York last spring; respected. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on peak form and his midfield finish at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, on first run after wind surgery, was encouraging; he has a higher mark to contend with back on AW but this represents a drop in class and he shouldn't be underestimated. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |

2nd 9 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |
10/1 |

13th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

6th 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |

8th 6 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has been threatening for his current yard this spring but a couple of expensive defeats latterly; goes back to the visor from blinkers and, while capable off this mark, his strike-rate doesn't inspire. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |
12/1 |

4th 10 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone. |
33/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
