4th 1 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
5/1 |

6th 4 (11) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not at his best at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but had previously narrowly beaten the winner of that race over this C&D; drawn wide, but still respected if bouncing back now returned here. |

Snapped a losing sequence a fortnight ago at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) where benefiting from the strong pace to collar Anthropologist close home; unexposed at today's trip and a 3lb rise isn't harsh; he's one to consider. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |
7/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |
20/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his third success when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March having got plenty of cover when there was a headwind; wasn't able to match that effort there 23 days ago and now steps back up in grade; returns to turf with place claims. |

Wins for Heather Main came at Kempton; not at his best for this yard, including back to sprinting last time after a spell over further, and isn't obviously fancied from the outside stall. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (6f, Polytrack), but he has mainly been racing over further this year; quiet in first two starts for this yard (1m/7f) and although the return to this trip may suit and he drops into a Class 6 for the first time, others are more compelling. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Scored over C&D in June; below par returned to this scenario last time but that race possibly came too soon after a good effort three days earlier; may rebound. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C&D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 (10) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He has run a string of good races in 2026, winning for the second time when comfortably seeing off five rivals at Beverley (7.4f, good) last week; that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he can't be discounted under a 5lb penalty. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been between 6f-8.5f on AW; has been below his best at York on last two starts and was reported to have run flat last time; drops back to a more suitable trip but he's still 4lb higher than for his last success; may be best watched until he returns to AW. |
6/1 |

13th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Thoroughly exposed 5yo who was in fair form until here last time when never involved from off the pace; has never won off this high a mark but what does bode well is that his last three wins have come in amateur races under Henry Callan who is back aboard for the first time since his last win in April; the cheekpieces also return after going in a new hood last time. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home over 7f at Southwell in March and appreciated the drop to 6f when winning there 20 days ago following a short break; both wins on turf have been on good to soft, and has claims off this 3lb higher mark. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (6) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Didn't get home over 7f here in March and is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in January; off two months, but has won after much longer absences and high on the list. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and was only beaten a head here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago with a yawning gap back to the rest; 4lb rise not the end of the world and good to soft ground wouldn't be a problem, but another furlong may have been preferable. |
11/8 |

2nd 9 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player. |
9/2 |

4th 18 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark in a 6f handicap at Southwell last month; finished behind Dicko The Legend when fifth back at Southwell ten days ago; improvement essential but the booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. |

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). |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle in November but has lost her form in recent AW starts; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf and step up in trip sparks a revival. |

9th 3 (8) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y 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. |

11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |

6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |
