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. |

1st 1 (2) |
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. |

Showed career-best form when winning comfortably at Beverley (5f, good) in April; creditable in-frame efforts on two of his three outings since and ought to be in the mix again. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had his ideal conditions when gaining his fourth win at Haydock last month (5f, soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; solid third of 20 off this 5lb higher mark at York last time (5f, good; fifth has won since); stall 2 perhaps not ideal but one with a chance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 19 (20) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |
10/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form when second at Beverley (5f, good) last month; sixth of seven there since (5f, good to soft) but beaten less than 2l and he's a three-time winner here (6f/5f, good-heavy); could be bang there now back here in first-time cheekpieces. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 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); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Track regular who added a second C&D win to his record on good to soft three weeks ago; handicapper handed him an 8lb rise but that looked a career best and he can never be discounted at this venue. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started favourite on his first nine starts last year, winning two of them, both off lower marks; hit traffic over an inadequate 5f on his comeback a few weeks ago, which will ensure he's popular once again for a yard also responsible for Cairdeas. |

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. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
On a near two-year losing spell but he's a four-time C&D winner and can't be dismissed off his reduced mark; made the frame in last two starts, latest back at Pontefract. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Multiple sprint winner, the latest off a 3lb higher mark last October (6f, good to soft); not at his best so far this year and 7f is a query. |

|
7th 17 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |

5th 3 (11) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Still to find top form this term but he's attractively handicapped and may prove resurgent with Tom Marquand up for first time; gained last three wins off current mark or thereabouts. |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prevailed in small field at Catterick (5f) last time; however, no certainty to follow up off revised mark in this deeper race against mostly rivals who already have winning form at Ripon; 0-3 here. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All his wins have been over 5f on fast ground, two of them last season (one over C&D, the other at Beverley); good third at Ripon two runs back (5f); fair chance on going that suits. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't have things go smoothly but stuck on positively down the outer when closing third (Canaria Queen second) at Ripon (5f, good) a fortnight ago; two of his three wins have been at tracks with a stiff uphill finish (Beverley and Leicester) and he's handicapped to go close at the least. |
