16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |
9/1 |

6th 12 (13) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in September; has resumed in excellent form, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when beaten a short head in another 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago; a likely player back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D off this mark last September; encouraging second over C&D last month on reappearance and the booking of Oisin Murphy may be significant; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick in 0-50 classified events on Tapeta for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) in January; has run with credit in her last three starts for this yard, but still has to conclusively prove she wants this far. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) earlier in the year; similar level of form since joining this trainer, runner-up over 8.5f here on penultimate start, and perhaps found 1m4f too far at Catterick (6-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; chance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three classified events at up to 9.4f in the space of four days in January when trained by Daragh Bourke; better effort in handicaps for new yard when second off 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago; good shout on that form buts need to prove that he's as effective on turf (0-9) and that he has the stamina for this much longer trip. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins on turf, mainly in the spring months, and she's 0-12 on the AW; better effort at Windsor in May but never went a yard without the usual cheekpieces (back today) as favourite last time; Polytrack record wouldn't inspire. |
10/1 |
|
9th 10 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
2-3 at Bath, scoring over C&D on her last two visits, but she's not shown her face here since May 2024; has another career-low mark and beaten just under 3l last time, so she brings some interest. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt when narrowly coming out on top in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last week; escapes a penalty for that success and is respected. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-14 but achieved some minor honours over 1m-1m4f on AW this year and another when staying-on fourth of nine at Bath (1m2f, good) on latest start; arguably has a bit to prove over this far. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but she did achieve some minor honours over 1m-1m4f on AW this year, which gives her a chance if the form is transferred to turf. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, slowly away when sixth of eight in 1m2f Pontefract handicap last month; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 10 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |
