6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

C&D winner whose five AW wins include two this year; often slowly away; has been running respectably off his lower turf mark of late but probably needs a bit more for the adding of a visor. |

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

Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |

12-time winner, latest on AW in March (6f); fair running-on third over 5f here last time (good; Woohoo, who runs in the 2.30, was second); contender back up in trip. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Gained a second win of 2026 at Carlisle (5f) in May but he's been well below par over C&D and at Newcastle since; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |

8th 9 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 5f Class 5 handicaps in 2026, at this track in February and then when beating Fierce at Carlisle three weeks ago; stable form is a plus but he needs to bounce back from a quiet run at Hamilton. |

Yet to win on turf, but is now 1lb lower than when winning at Newcastle in February (5f); could go well, although was beaten 10l here last time (6f, soft). |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Has won on all three Tapeta tracks, most recently over C&D in December, not as good since and although he ran better back here in April, he found little at Newcastle next time; others more likely. |

9st 12lb |
Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (12) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |

Campaigned mostly over 5f; posted a resurgent effort at Southwell on stable/seasonal debut; successful twice off current mark, so holds possibilities provided he's as effective back at 6f. |

9st 6lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW but he has won on fast turf; good fourth at Ripon in April but he could only manage a midfield finish at Thirsk in May; 2lb lower than when short-headed by Brazen Bolt in this race 12 months ago but he arrived in top form then. |

Placed three times on AW over the winter before resuming winning ways over 5f at Southwell 18 days ago; hasn't been successful above a mark of 76 so a career best will be needed if he's to follow up. |

Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer. |

Good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk ten days ago when he wasn't on his best behaviour in the stalls; has the ability to feature off this mark but is not without risk. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

He had dropped a long way in the weights before ending a losing run at Newcastle (5f) in March; added a C&D win in April and he has run well in defeat in both runs since; creeping back up the weights and had a 53-day break but he has the ability to go well. |
