14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 1m2f at Newcastle in March, and creditable third over 8.5f here last time (good); each-way chance |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
1m2f classified event here in March was his only win from 12 races; returned to some form when third at Beverley (8.5f) on latest start; return to 1m2f should suit if this is another of his good days. |

Record remains far from solid and he has something to prove on a few counts; showed best form when winning 1m2f AW classified event in March. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier. |
5/4 |
|
9th 11 (12) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Seemingly exposed gelding who has suddenly got on a roll since going back up in trip, scoring on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f), Musselburgh (12.5f) and over C&D last month; has to defy a further 4lb rise in a better race from the widest stall but he can't be ignored attempting a four-timer. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |

9st 9lb |
Has won twice this year and did well after a slow start to claim fourth in a similar race at Lingfield (1m2f, good) last month; if he breaks on terms then he holds strong claims. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win over C&D in September; got back on track despite not enjoying the smoothest of passages when third of 12 in 1m2f handicap at Redcar eight days ago so she must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (13) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-12 on turf, although solid run when third at Beverley last June (1m2f, good to firm); plenty to prove after finishing 35l fifth of six at Pontefract last time (1m2f, good). |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
One win from 17 attempts came over 1m2f (AW; acts on sound turf) in September; reappearance fourth in AW classified wasn't a bad effort in March and she likely didn't stay 1m4f last time; still has work to do from out of the handicap back on grass. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
First and second in 1m3f handicaps at Southwell before unsuited by the drop back to 1m at Ripon; he's fine on turf and could be given another chance. |
11/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Landed a classified here (9.5f) in March but well held in three handicaps since May; sports first-time visor but her best chance of further success is in classifieds. |

27-race maiden; creditable third in a C&D classified event eight days ago (good); this is tougher. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in similar event on AW two starts ago (1m2f) but that is flanked by lesser efforts on turf; remains a longstanding maiden. |
14/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
25-race maiden; had run of the race at Newcastle (1m2f; third, 16-1) last week but was unable to make it count; no reason to think that this return to turf can unlock the door; others are more convincing. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made it 2-40 when winning by a neck at Beverley (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; wouldn't normally be an obvious one to follow up, but she is only 2lb higher and the runner-up has won since; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
1st 9 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Only 1-39 and last two runs over 2m and 1m4f were underwhelming; did run quite well in two starts during April so can't be dismissed; 1lb out of the weights. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip. |

Record of one win from 23 starts; close second at Hamilton this month but was quickly left behind by the winner when filling the same position there on Thursday; passed over. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Just one win from his 22 starts and beaten 6l when fourth in first-time visor (retained) at Ayr (1m5f, soft) last Friday; however, that trip-and-ground combination may have stretched his stamina and two starts ago he was short-headed by Uncle Liam here (1m4f, good); he's not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 1-21 but he had a near-miss in a Hamilton handicap (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden on turf, best recent run when third at Catterick in April (1m4f, good); hasn't done as well since. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip. |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Huge prices and well beaten in five runs to date (6f-1m2f); takes a significant step up in trip on her handicap debut in first-time blinkers; one to keep an eye on. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

9th 12 (4) |
