4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C&D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 (10) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He has run a string of good races in 2026, winning for the second time when comfortably seeing off five rivals at Beverley (7.4f, good) last week; that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he can't be discounted under a 5lb penalty. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who followed a good C&D second on his return in April with a below-par sixth in 7f Carlisle handicap last month; not the easiest to predict but he goes very well here so needs considering. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Not the most prolific, but he was returning from 134 days off when beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; respected off 1lb higher if coming on from that. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring over 7f here (good to soft) last month but he wasn't in the same form at Epsom last week; has bit to prove again after that and he hasn't had much luck with the draw. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Largely in decent nick this season, snapping a losing run at Chester (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago in this refitted headgear combination; retains handicapping scope off 5lb higher. |
11/4 |
|
1st 9 (6) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Winless since 2024 but largely in decent nick this season until tried visored when fourth of five at Lingfield (6f) 13 days ago; tongue strap/cheekpieces are refitted here and he's the sort to bounce back. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won a 7f Dundalk maiden on his second start but beaten 14 times since; went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month though and a subsequent lesser effort can be partially excused by him getting upset in the stalls. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to add to his Irish AW maiden win in 2024 but has made the frame on all three appearances this season, most recently when very close second at Musselburgh (7f, good) a fortnight ago; only 1lb higher here and should cope if the ground eases; likely contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
AW winner in Ireland; mostly consistent in defeat for current yard, after wind surgery in last two races; this is his trip and unlikely to be too far away. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just 1-22 but scores good marks for her consistency since 6f AW win in January; denied clear run before keeping on for fifth in recent C&D contest won by Jkr Cobbler; each-way claims at least. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Largely consistent mare who was third over 6f at Hamilton on her last two appearances; also suited by this longer trip and won't mind if the ground is slower than good; probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Largely consistent mare who was respectable third of seven when dropped back in trip for C&D (good to soft) amateur riders' race a fortnight ago; probably won't be far away. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-35, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December off a mark 8lb higher than today's; never featured over this trip at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and better is needed. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
No great strike-rate but a switch to hold-up tactics worked a treat when landing a second career win at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, doing well to get up having not got in the clear until inside the final furlong; a shorter trip and different track mean similar tactics may not be as easy to pull off this time. |
12/1 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 19 came at Ripon (1m, good) last April; mostly consistent this year, a close fourth to Flying Fletcher over C&D in January, and occupied that same position behind Barry's Boy here in March; easing mark, with Paul Mulrennan booked for the first time. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

No wins in eight; had placed form for Edward Bethell but signed off for that yard under a cloud; would have claims if he can turn a corner for new yard. |
12/1 |
|
12th 5 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced maiden; creditable show over 1m on Southwell AW when returning from absence last October but he dropped right out over 7f at Musselburgh (hood added, now discarded) recently; has question marks now but he had 6f form as a 2yo so the return to shorter is surely worth a go. |
10/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned from an absence to finish runner-up off 2lb higher on his 1m Southwell handicap debut last October; too keen when failing to reproduce that form in two subsequent AW outings around the turn of the year but possible he could pack more punch at the finish if a first-time hood (combined with tongue-tie) helps him to settle better; runner-up on turf (good to firm) as a juvenile. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Still to add to his debut win in 14 subsequent outings and it has been tough going so far for this stable; now drops into a Class 6 and a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well down the field on all four starts for Jim Goldie this season (6f-7f), most recently in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton on Wednesday; stable has more obvious chance with Ashen. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D on his debut when with Richard Fahey (good); hasn't won since and well beaten in three starts for Jim Goldie this time round; plenty to prove at present. |
