5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Gained a third win of 2026 at Beverley (1m2f) in May; comes here on the back of a good second of five in another 1m2f handicap there 12 days ago so must enter calculations. |

Gained his third success when winning over this C&D last month off 3lb lower but wasn't at his best at York (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; unexposed on good to firm but needs to bounce back. |

Three 1m2f wins already this year, the latest at Beverley last month (good to firm); has gone up a total of 11lb but only 3lb higher than last win so could go well despite a tricky draw. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best effort in six outings for Hughie Morrison was her win in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) in August, the first of two starts in cheekpieces; first-time hood when pipped in 15-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago, which was a bright start under Ashley Lewis for new yard; up 3lb but a player if she's as effective on today's ground. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in her six outings for Hughie Morrison last season when winning 1m2f Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) in cheekpieces; a first-time hood is the choice of headgear setting out for a new yard after 197 days off; less exposed than most of these and would need considering if the betting vibes are positive. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and he was beaten 8l after a slow start at Newbury last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but he needs to raise his game back up in trip. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and was disappointing at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) 11 days ago given he has won over that far and in testing ground; has plenty of form on good to firm, but has a bit to prove; often misses the break. |
14/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three of his six wins have come over this trip elsewhere and he will appreciate going back up in distance after finishing third of eight at Newmarket (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (runner-up won next time); goes on any ground and respected off the same mark. |

Back to winning ways with a front-running C&D success 23 days ago (visored first time); up 2lb but should give it another good go. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Was winning for the first time since his debut when just prevailing over 1m4f here (good) last month, but may not have been suited by the conditions when third of six at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 12 days ago; each-way claims. |
5/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Was winning for the first time since his debut when just getting the better of Patrol at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month; 5lb higher and could probably do with the ground drying out (best form on good or faster), but still respected. |
5/2 |
|
1st 14 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11. |

1-20 over hurdles; bounced back from heavy 2m defeat (wore visor) with respectable fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good; no headgear) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others appeal more. |

10st 0lb |
Won here over 1m1f in April (good to firm) and followed up at Bath (11.5f, firm) next time off a 6lb lower mark than today's; disappointing at Beverley (1m2f) 36 days ago but he did sit close to a strong pace and may be able to bounce back. |

5th 5 (5) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Made virtually all in a five-runner race at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to firm) last month and followed up in another small field at Bath (11.5f, firm) 15 days ago; up 6lb for last time and steps up in grade, but can't be dismissed in his bid for the hat-trick. |

Successful in 7f AW maiden in May 2025 for previous yard; has see-sawed in handicaps since but has been back in better form over 1m off a reduced mark of late and the return to 7f should suit; thereabouts. |

Prevailed narrowly in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m, good) last time, registering a first win since 2024; back up 3lb but remains well treated on peak form, which includes a Ripon success; headgear removed; should remain competitive. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |

Hurdle winner at Doncaster (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in December but struggled in his next five starts; ran a bit better when sixth of nine at Bath (1m2f, firm) 15 days ago but isn't certain to back that up; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Nine-race maiden who was beaten 24l at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (replaced by first-time visor here); steps back up in trip and sliding down the weights but difficult to make a case for. |

Eight-race maiden who was a well-beaten 33-1 shot at Southwell (2m; first-time tongue-tie) in January; this is more realistic than the Listed hurdle she tackled here last time but she's still hard to make a strong case for; has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie now. |

1-30, the win over C&D from a similar mark last September; lost out in a tight finish to a stablemate of Woodleigh at Beverley (1m2f, good; 4-1) last week; no reason why she shouldn't take the swift turnaround in her stride; possible. |

Made all on AW debut and second start back from a long absence at Southwell (1m, AW) in April, and third there since (1m) in a race that is working out very well; won on turf in 2024 and he's a strong candidate if his good recent form continues back on grass. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Wildly inconsistent this year; better from the front in a small field last time and the return to a switchback track, back up in trip, looks in his favour (fair record on the AW here); whether he reproduces the effort is the question. |

3rd 1 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade. |
