1st 4 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won back-to-back 1m handicaps at Nottingham and Ripon in April and continues in good form, runner-up in 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 12 days ago; can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Landed his fifth win on turf, at Ripon (1m, good; made all) in April; ran okay at Hamilton (1m1f, good) 18 days ago when trying to dominate but was pestered; needs to be able to have his own way up front to be seen to best effect and there are others here who may take him on. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made all twice in a row in April (8.3f/1m, good); down the field at York (7f, good) but that was in a big field and he raced wide; could bounce back with a bold show if conditions suit (well beaten on soft going last November but displayed signs of promise on such ground early in career). |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed narrowly in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m, good) last time, registering a first win since 2024; back up 3lb but remains well treated on peak form, which includes a Ripon success; headgear removed; should remain competitive. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Winless since November 2024 and tried in cheekpieces when a below-par sixth of 12 in 1m Redcar handicap last month; needs to bounce back with headgear retained. |
11/4 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

9st 11lb |
Runner-up at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month then went one better in commanding style in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good); could have more to offer in the headgear; strong claims under 5lb penalty. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained both wins last August but made the frame on last three outings; carries his head high, including in a duel at Musselburgh last time, and cheekpieces are enlisted today. |

1st 6 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
11yo who has been up and down this season but has won twice, including over C&D (good), and he ran pretty well when third here (1m, good) last time; finished third in this last year and he could give a good account. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose 2026 wins at Ripon (1m2f) and Musselburgh (1m1f) show that he retains plenty of vitality; form dipped when back at this venue last time, so needs to rebound. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Second at Thirsk before nosing home at Redcar (1m, good; 3lb lower) and not the first time she's been below par at Ripon a month ago; could easily bounce back from that. |
15/2 |
|
9th 9 (11) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
She's worked her way back into form and last month's second-place finish at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) was followed by a win at Redcar (1m, good); won on soft ground last September; respected up just 3lb for last time. |
11/2 |
|
1st 10 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ran well in defeat at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) this month, despite racing too freely (without cover) in the early stages; remains well handicapped and features prominently in calculations. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tough type who has been on the go since last December, winning at Nottingham and just touched off at Leicester (both at about 1m), but seemingly suited by the shortest trip he's tackled this year when making all over C&D 11 days ago; back up 3lb; can go well again. |
13/8 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent since his Nottingham win in April (good) and latest race at Hamilton for which he was favourite didn't go to plan; ideally wants further, however. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Took advantage of a drop back in trip and ease in grade (into a Class 6) when scrambling home at Nottingham (8.5f, good; from 3lb lower) in April; beaten by a nose off this mark at Leicester (1m) in May and consistent since; possible. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins in the second half of 2025, first time when beating Perfidia at Beverley (8.4f) and second time here (1m); one to note given he seems to be building up to a bigger effort this time around. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Developed into a consistent sort last term; unable to sustain the form in two outings this season but returning to Class 6 may prove beneficial; won his last attempt in this grade. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps at around 1m in the second half of 2025; creditable efforts off his revised mark to end that campaign and he should be sharper with last month's return to action behind him; others still appeal more for win purposes. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Took this prize 12 months ago and she's back in excellent form of late, scoring at Carlisle (1m) before third of seven over C&D 26 days ago; merits serious consideration in her follow-up bid. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins overall include a comfortable C&D success last July on her only race at Pontefract; back near her best when winning at Carlisle (1m, soft; probably fine on good to firm) 13 days ago and looks a leading contender despite going back up 3lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Solid spell of form last term featured two wins and three second-place finishes; has gone rather off the boil since but a revival would give her good claims off current mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Back in form when second to Krissy over C&D in May and he built on that when getting a fine ride to make his breakthrough here (1m, again good; Bellasio second) 19 days ago; not the easiest but little doubt this new mark still underestimates him. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (12) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed 17-race maiden but he has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran well when second over 1m1f here 17 days ago; others still appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
16-race maiden who can be difficult to settle and was well beaten at Ripon (1m, good) last month on sole previous run beyond 7f; however, he kept on strongly for seventh of 13 at Catterick (7f, good) last time, suggesting this trip might be worth a go, and his mark continues to fall; visor removed. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ayr maiden winner who is 0-8 in handicaps but she has dropped a long way in the weights; only fifth of six at Musselburgh (12.4f, good) last time but she got pestered for the lead and may have had stamina issues at that trip; could go well on this return to 1m2f and she's not ruled out. |
4/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Recorded a breakthrough win at Ayr (1m) last April; out of sorts subsequently until front-running tactics tried again and third of eight in 1m2f Ripon handicap five days ago; goes up further in trip here and weighted to go close off a 5lb lower mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a maiden at Ayr (1m, good) last April but she's finished ahead of only one rival in six runs in handicaps since; was beaten 32l off this mark at Carlisle last week and she has a lot to prove at this new trip. |
