8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well backed and returned to form when winning classified event at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last week; that was steadily run but he was an emphatic winner; every chance if able to reproduce equivalent level on turf (0-9); stablemate of Sassy Glory. |
5/2 |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Made a successful reappearance in a similar contest over C&D in March; placed only once in five in handicaps since, but respected back in this company. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been below that level on his last three outings. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been disappointing in his last two runs and this is step back up in grade; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |
20/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
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. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent enough at a similarly low level all year, winning twice, and there are no concerns regarding track, trip or ground; that's enough to see him shortlisted in a weak affair. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two 1m2f wins this year, the latest a fast-ground handicap at Leicester in May; respectable efforts since without hitting quite the same heights; should give a good account. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
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. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this race last year and landed a handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten over 1m here last Saturday and, although this trip should suit him better, he needs to put that performance behind him; blinkers return. |
7/1 |
|
10th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have come on Tapeta but over longer trips, the latest (1m3f, Southwell) in March off 3lb lower; could prove vulnerable back at 1m. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
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. |

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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has a patchy profile but she's won twice this year including a comfortable one under Myla Coppins at Brighton (1m2f classified) last time; hard to rule out another good run, but her turf wins have been on good/good to firm and it would be a concern if the conditions become testing. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this last year and a weak 0-50 on Tapeta in March; has never been anything close to consistent but ran respectably, beaten only 2l despite traffic issues, returned to classified level here (1m) on Wednesday. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won in this grade at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March and is also suited by this track but her recent handicap form has been disappointing; tried in a visor on latest outing; cheekpieces are refitted today. |

4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten only by a short head and a nose when third in similar C&D race to this last month and also ran well when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, but his 0-29 strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third of 13 in a similar contest over C&D last month and only just lost out when third of ten at Ayr (1m, good) on his penultimate outing; record of 0-28 is hard to ignore, though. |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate but there have been several good runs in defeat this year and his record at Hamilton reads -30222; has run well on soft but a slightly quicker surface may be ideal. |
11/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win from 27 starts came on the AW at Newcastle last August but he's been runner-up on turf six times, including when caught late at Hamilton (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; switch of headgear today; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent gelding who went close over C&D in early June and came back to that sort of level when behind Patrick Street three days ago (8lb better off back into a handicap); often pulls hard and it will depend on his mood. |
