22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't won on turf for over two years but landed a four-timer on the AW in the spring; has been running consistently on turf since, admittedly starting to look exposed but he should run his race. |
9/1 |

8th 19 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-time winner who has been kept busy since joining this yard and he rattled off a four-timer on AW (7f/1m) earlier in the year; has been knocking on the door of late, including when close third of 17 at York (7f, good to firm; Pellitory second; Morte Point sixth) 19 days ago; firmly in the mix once again. |

3rd 7 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His progress for James Owen has been quite a story, winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December off a 40lb lower mark; fine second-place finishes on his last two runs and still seems to be improving; each-way shout. |

In good form on the AW this year including two wins over 6f; 0-12 on turf, but has gone close on a couple of occasions and should have no problem with this sharp 7f; player. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark for Michael Dods when finishing off strongly in a 7f AW handicap in March; only 1lb higher today but he will need to step up on last month's return from a three-month break; ground query. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 7f here in March and not beaten far when fourth of seven at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May when last seen; however, he's returning from a three-month break and 7f is probably his optimum trip. |
15/2 |

4th 1 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not particularly solid on his AW form (at up to 9.5f) for current stable; gained sole win on turf (6f; off 3lb higher) but has something to prove over this new trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

6f win for George Scott on turf last summer; edging down the weights for current stable while suggesting he retains a fair level of ability; Rossa Ryan replaces an apprentice this time; not discounted. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only 3-31 but won comfortably over C&D (good) earlier this month with a first-time eyeshield joining reapplied blinkers and that was from the same stall as today; back up 7lb but has coped with this mark in the past. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins at around 1m when trained by Ed Bethell; his losing run is mounting up and a first-time eye-shield is now applied along with returning blinkers; now on a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins for the Barrons include three at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta); 16lb below last winning mark, but five starts since returning for this yard in February leave him with plenty to prove, despite the drop in grade. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Well short of his best since joining this yard, only beating a handful of runners home in his four runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |

Not quite at best on last two turf starts but now only 2lb higher than when leading close home at Kempton (1m) in May, and this longer trip won't be a problem; a possible. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising return when third of 11 in a novice at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March last year, but has come nowhere near that form since; drops in grade, but still needs a resurgence. |
12/1 |

6th 5 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was beaten at least 17l in all four 7f/1m races this year; cheekpieces (worn for last two starts) are discarded for this first attempt at 5f; has too much to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |
