6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual sprint winner on AW; 0-5 on turf but ran well when favourite for big-field event at Thirsk (5f, good; finished 1l third) most recently; warrants respect off same mark. |
7/4 |

3rd 5 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Only eighth of 17 when favourite at Ascot two weeks ago, although far from disgraced; still relatively lightly raced and just 1lb higher than for 5f Newcastle win in March; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

8th 11 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Narrow Newcastle win on her penultimate start; did best of the rest behind an emphatic all-the-way winner at Yarmouth three weeks ago (5f, good); this race should be more conventional and she is more appealing than many. |

Prominent racer; on a good mark and his latest Hamilton third offered hope he would be adding to his tally soon; tongue-tie returns today; considered. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
His two turf wins (6f) came on soft and heavy; in good form this year and he made all at Southwell (6f, AW) in April; latest fourth at Carlisle was a fair effort on Tuesday and he's well drawn to attack. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (12) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All his wins have been at 6f, the latest at Southwell in April, but effective at 5f; goes particularly well on soft/heavy ground so today's conditions should be ideal; fair run last time at Hamilton (1.25l sixth of 13); could go well from his high draw. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has made a good start for Ruth Carr and emerged from midfield to edge home over C&D a month ago; on that run and past exploits, he remains on a useful mark up 4lb. |
8/1 |
|
1st 10 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Two good runs since joining Ruth Carr, fourth of 12 at Newcastle in March and third of 17 at Musselburgh three weeks ago; up in class but should give it another good go. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 7 (13) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Two wins (AW/turf) for previous yard; close fourth at Newcastle (5f, AW) on stable/seasonal debut; fighting chance provided he builds on that effort; similar type to Emerald Harmony. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Now 4lb lower than when winning at Southwell (5f) in March; creditable efforts on turf more recently and he now drops into a Class 5; has a much better chance than his form figures might indicate. |
10/1 |
|
8th 21 (15) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't built on 5f success at Southwell in March, fading and hanging on this course three weeks ago; unproven at 6f; questions to answer. |
33/1 |
|
9th 18 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Hasn't built on his success at Southwell (5f, AW) in March; not disgraced when sixth over C&D nine days ago but he'll need more if he's to return to winning ways. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ran his best race for new connections when third of 21 in a 0-85 over C&D four weeks ago; mark left unchanged but he does need to prove himself on ground firmer than good. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 16 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won since 2024 but he's starting to look well handicapped; heavily backed when sixth of 20 behind Lord Roxby and Yes I'm Mali over C&D three weeks ago; bit more needed but he could be building up to something. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Split James's Delight and Elmonjed in top 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) in 2024; failed to win in 2025 but he has edged down the weights and his three runs for Paul Midgley have been quite encouraging, faring best of those in the far-side group when sixth of 16 back on turf at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 37 days ago; considered. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 in 5f handicap at Ripon 11 days ago; usual visor goes back on now and this four-time C&D scorer is not out of things under a 4lb penalty. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Markedly more exposed than Goyard but is similar in one respect, being 2-2 at Ripon; recent form is respectable enough to put him in calculations off a workable mark back at this course. |
11/2 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back from below-par run at York with close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good) on Sunday, and his best run this season came when close second of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; not ruled out back here. |

Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |
16/1 |
|
13th 10 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year and ran respectably at Nottingham in April, but he's 3lb above his highest winning mark and will need a career best if he's to go in again. |

Can blow the start but he won two C&D handicaps in late 2025 and is well treated on that form; trainer has won the last two renewals of this race; high on the list. |
8/1 |
|
17th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Slowly away and never a threat on all three starts this year, the latest last weekend; being dropped another 2lb can only help but he isn't obviously in good enough form to add to his 2024 success in this. |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (15) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Consistent since returning from 18 months off; easy to argue he's happier on the AW than turf, so he's at least entitled to close the gap on Michaela's Boy from Yarmouth on 5lb better terms; the hood comes off today. |
4/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Promising 2yo; missed 2025 but he has shown he retains plenty of ability with placed efforts at Wolverhampton (5f) and Kempton (6f) on his last two starts; promise in one run on fast turf; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Sole success came at Chelmsford AW in August 2024 and missed all of last year; showed he was on the way back when runner-up to an improver at Wolverhampton (5f) last month; steps up in trip and should run well. |

Beaten 13 times since his last win in March 2025 but he returned to form with close fourth at Chester three weeks ago and he has a good record over this C&D in the main; each-way claims. |

4th 9 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

Yet to strike form after two starts this season but now 5lb lower than when placed in Epsom's Dash (5f, good) just over a year ago and has won on good to soft ground; can't be ruled out. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner in 2024 for Archie Watson; missed 2025 and yet to show that form for his current yard this season, finishing last of six in 5f Hamilton handicap 20 days ago; others are preferred. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |

He ran his best race for current connections when third of five at Catterick five weeks ago (6f, good; blinkers first time); dropped 2lb but suspicion he will remain vulnerable. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Useful as 2yo for Archie Watson; absent for 501 days prior to three modest AW efforts for his new stable this year; dropped 11lb and now tried in blinkers so a revival isn't out of the question; not a solid option though. |
