1st 6 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who made it four wins from his last six starts when scoring at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) last month; also effective on good/good to firm ground; a 3lb rise should not prevent another big run. |
8/1 |

10st 1lb |
Won reappearance, completing the hat-trick, at Thirsk (7f, good; from 4lb lower) in April; pressed the winner hard at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is a slightly longer trip; useful claimer in the saddle. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and he could only manage a midfield finish here (7f, soft) on last month's stable debut; dropping down the weights but others are stronger. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been threatening for his current yard this spring but a couple of expensive defeats latterly; goes back to the visor from blinkers and, while capable off this mark, his strike-rate doesn't inspire. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned mainly over 6f/7f but looked suited by step up to 1m when keeping-on third of 18 at Doncaster (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; could still have more to offer over this trip; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained sole win on AW; inconsistent kept to 7f this term but has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces and new trip. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (11) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last September; creditable third at Thirsk last month (7f, good) but bit disappointing last time at Doncaster (7f, good to firm). |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Tends to be slowly away and is the type who needs everything to drop right if he's to win, but he's run several good races on AW this year and was fourth of 14 back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
4th 16 (10) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner who is fine at 7f or 1m; has been running well for a while and latest effort in the new visor at Newcastle can be upgraded. |
14/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well at this level in recent weeks, coming from last to first over 1m here before finishing second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Southwell (1m); just as effective at 7f; the blinkers he's worn on his last five starts are now replaced by a first-time visor; should go well again. |

9st 12lb |
Gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest eight days ago (good ground); still on workable mark under 4lb penalty and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Gained four of his eight wins over this C&D; made the frame off today's mark on consecutive starts at Carlisle last month (7f, soft/1m, good) and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; respected. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner at up to 8.5f, latest success being in April (8.5f, good to firm); fair form since including when 2l fourth here last time (7.5f, good to firm); tries this trip for first time. |
8/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four of his five wins have been at Beverley and they include this race 12 months ago; only fourth of six here ten days back but that was a Class 5. |
7/1 |

4th 7 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Four of his five wins have been at this track (two over C&D); returned to form following a couple of lesser efforts when fourth at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) eight days ago but he was behind Roaring Ralph on that occasion. |

Consistent on AW this year and was nudged up only 2lb for his win in refitted cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f) a fortnight ago; also suited by turf; respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Went close here (7f) on his penultimate run but he's not easy to predict and was well held when favourite at Thirsk (7f, good) last Friday; needs to step up again after that and all of his three wins have been over 7f; first-time visor. |

Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May, taking record here to 3-4; beaten favourite in AW classified since but he may well be superior on turf; high on the list returned to grass. |

|
3rd 4 (6) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

5/4 |

1st 6 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
3-23; did too much too soon at Musselburgh (7f; fourth, 6-4 favourite; third has won since) on penultimate start; made amends over C&D ten days ago, beating Crocodile Power (runs in the 3.10pm) by over 2l; that was an apprentices' handicap so he escapes a penalty (is due a 5lb rise); key player. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Southwell winner (7f); couldn't hold off a late challenge at Doncaster (7f; 13-2) on penultimate start; restless in the stalls and ran too free when favourite at Beverley latest; perhaps a few pounds too high in the weights. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Registered sole win on AW but he produced a career-best RPR when going down by only a neck at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) most recently; possibilities, provided that form is backed up. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough with a clearcut success at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last September but he's not gone on from that and was down the field on Thirsk reappearance (7f, good) last month; still 8lb higher than for his win and others are preferred. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

Ended last season with a success; however, two duck eggs this term help to reflect her inconsistency and leave a big doubt over her current form to boot. |

10th 13 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Made all, scrambling home at Redcar (7f, Class 6, good to soft; from 3lb lower) last September; showed that same speed before weakening on seasonal reappearance at Thirsk (7f, good; 11th of 14; 25-1) in April; has a tricky draw to navigate, unless electing to go far side. |

9st 8lb |
Won twice over 7f for Richard Fahey in 2024; not added to that tally since, and has been below-par in three starts for new yard; tries a new trip and runs with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers which need to have a positive impact. |

Both wins came over this trip on the AW at the start of the year, but he has made the frame several times on turf; was found to be coughing after running poorly at Thirsk ten weeks ago; can go well fresh and not easily dismissed. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Made it two wins from three starts this year when picking up well to lead towards the finish over C&D 16 days ago; the third (Call Glory), fourth and fifth in that race have all run well since so the form has bit of substance; respected up 2lb. |

Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |
