16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day. |
11/2 |

8th 9 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Bagged a remarkable 11th C&D success in June; only sixth of eight in 7f Musselburgh handicap 11 days ago but no surprise to see her bounce back here. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Has run well over C&D in the past but Hamilton is her spiritual home and she has added another two wins at that venue this summer, the latest a comfortable front-running success (6f, good to firm) in Class 6 company five days ago; 5lb higher over an extra furlong on a different track and in a higher grade so this may not be her day. |

Battled well for narrow C&D (good to soft) win a fortnight ago and lost out only by a neck over C&D (good) last week; back in action before latest 1lb nudge takes effect; likely contender again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
13-race maiden who has been expensive to follow and underwhelming on his last two starts; however, his season began with two positive performances in the spring and he's in the picture if rediscovering that form. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |

Maiden who was disappointing as favourite when last seen five weeks ago; maybe that was down to the first-time cheekpieces (removed today) and this mark is well within range on the evidence of his other two runs since a wind operation. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |
11/2 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
4th 14 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Juvenile winner for Jim Bolger (Cork, 5f maiden, heavy); disappointing since joining this trainer (0-6), falling 20lb in the weights; slowly away and never involved at Thirsk (6f, good; 40-1) latest; hard to recommend now returning to 7f. |
25/1 |
|
14th 12 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dropping down the weights and his latest Pontefract fifth was marginally more encouraging; more required back up in class though. |
33/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thrown in on his form for Jim Bolger but he has finished down the field in four runs for new connections, weakening over 7f and 6f; the return of a tongue tie may help, as will the drop into a Class 6, so not discounted back at 5f for the owners who took this race 12 months ago. |

Productive mare who has been successful three times this term and finished a creditable second in last two C&D attempts; came up short last time, however, and may be in the assessor's grip now. |
8/1 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Three 5f handicap wins this year, the latest over C&D last week when comfortably outpointing six rivals; the combination of a 5lb penalty and stronger opposition may find her out. |
13/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

In-form mare; twice successful this season, including at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good; from 5lb lower); runner-up at Ripon on last two outings (Tees Aggregates a close third on penultimate start); has no issues with this track; merits respect. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone. |
33/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |

8th 9 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins in 5f Class 5 handicaps in 2026, at this track in February and then when beating Fierce at Carlisle three weeks ago; stable form is a plus but he needs to bounce back from a quiet run at Hamilton. |

Hasn't finished out of the first three in five starts here, including a win over this trip on good in April; well beaten at Pontefract in first-time blinkers latest but his course record affords him respect with regular cheekpieces also back in place. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running. |

Flexible regarding the going; had mixed results since winning at Pontefract (5f, soft) last October, but he wasn't far away after making the running at Ripon recently and is now 2lb lower than that last winning mark; probably needs a bit more. |

Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again. |

Enthusiastic front-runner with three 6f wins to his name on AW, including here last October; ran his best race for some time when scoring at Chelmsford three weeks ago but even that will need bettering if he is to overcome a 4lb rise. |
