15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Two front-running 5f wins this summer; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract four weeks ago and this is just the second 6f run of his career; others appeal more. |
20/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Is enjoying an excellent season and gained a third success when making all in 5f Beverley handicap two weeks ago; up 3lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Began his campaign with a second and first over C&D in April; his progress has continued, adding a win at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and should go well despite his career-high mark. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner last spring who has largely been in good nick since cheekpieces went on in May, winning at Haydock (his fourth win there) and also at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; has never won off a mark this high but he ran well from it at Hamilton last time and soft ground would hold no fears; should be on the premises. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (12) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has won twice this year (both when ridden by P J McDonald), at Haydock (5f, soft) in May and Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) last time, but that was a 0-105 and he wasn't best drawn; drops back down in grade and should have this run to suit. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |
25/1 |
|
17th 9 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); well beaten at Thirsk 24 days ago, however, and this is a deeper race. |
40/1 |

Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

Without a victory since 2024 and he arrives well below par; reared and unseated rider at the start in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 15 days ago. |
20/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Decent 2yo who proved hard to place last year and has again lacked consistency this spring; the blinkers come off as he makes his AW debut off a career-low mark and it's hard to know what to expect in truth. |
14/1 |

7th 6 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; just missed out over C&D last month (blinkers first time) when finding only Betweenthesticks too strong; ran okay at Beverley next time and he was drawn wide when disappointing back there ten days ago; stable also run Changeofmind. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has drawn a blank since scoring over C&D in July 2024 but he's on a dangerous mark and latest keeping-on fourth of 17 at York (5f, good to firm) was encouraging with a return to a stiff 5f in mind (all six wins here and at Pontefract). |
11/2 |
|
4th 13 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Seems to be going through the motions and his losing run stretches back over two years; needs to stop the slide but he's on a dangerous mark if staging a revival, so impossible to rule out. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to score this season but largely running well, posting a solid fourth of eight in 6f Carlisle handicap 16 days ago; this C&D winner can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to win this season but has dropped to a good mark and was close third in refitted visor at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; blinkers are the headgear of choice today; might be the answer. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who finished 1l third over C&D (good) most recently, posting her best turf effort; place possibilities off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came on the AW in early 2025; her more recent efforts on either side of a wind operation have been thoroughly underwhelming. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-French; won over 6f at Chantilly in 2024 (very soft); rather disappointing since joining present yard, including at Carlisle on Tuesday when tried in cheekpieces (retained). |
7/1 |
|
9th 11 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-French; only win was over 6f at Chantilly as a juvenile (very soft); not been in top form this season and needs cheekpieces to have a positive effect. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A 2yo winner over 6f (very soft) in France but she's been high in the weights since trained in Britain and little sign of that changing in two runs this year; down another 2lb but likely that it isn't enough. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Successful off this mark at Catterick (5f, good to firm) in June but he hasn't beaten many home in three runs since; has a C&D win to his name but soft ground not sure to suit and others are safer. |
20/1 |
|
10th 1 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two of his four wins have come over C&D, the latest in June off a 2lb lower mark; come up short in two Class 4 runs since; not discounted back down in grade. |
8/1 |
|
14th 12 (16) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
June win came in a small field at Catterick (5f) but he finished behind Kodiac Thriller when only seventh of nine at Ripon next time; well beaten on only run at York; bit to prove. |
