5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has form at a variety of tracks but seems ideally suited by Pontefract, being 3-4 there compared to just 1-16 elsewhere; drops back in class for this first visit to Ayr. |
10/1 |

8th 14 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner who landed a third success at Pontefract (1m, good) on his penultimate start, having attracted support; also effective on a softer surface than that but it was this mark he raced from when well held at York three weeks ago and this demands a career best. |
20/1 |
|
12th 16 (5) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Ran just four times last year, winning on three occasions (1m, good/soft), and back on the scoresheet at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago on his second start of the season; did it cosily last time and a 4lb rise may not stop this thriving 6yo. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
11yo who needs to produce more than he's managed on his last three starts but he's 3lb lower than when a close third at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May and has won at Ripon seven times; went close here in August 2024 when he last wore these blinkers (which replace cheekpieces); not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; best form this term when placed a few times in spring, showing that he retains plenty of ability aged 11; gained last win off 7lb higher over C&D and can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Tough front-runner; ran a rare poor race last time but had been in good form prior to that, notably when a close third at Ayr last month (1m, good to firm); major chance. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) and Southwell (1m, AW) in his first two starts, but he's struggled in three of his four handicaps including when last of ten at Chester (10.3f) last month; has looked stretched in both attempts at that trip but he needs a major revival back on AW; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Dual novice winner (1m, good to soft/AW) who suffered a heavy defeat on his handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f) in September and was beaten even further in the Spring Mile on his comeback in March; turned the ship around when third at Pontefract (1m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last time, however; now needs to build on that tackling this trip again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won novice races at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) and Southwell (1m, AW) on his first two starts; flopped on handicap debut last September (1m2f, good to soft) and he was out the back in the Spring Mile on his reappearance 32 days ago; down in class but he needs the cheekpieces/faster ground to turn things around. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in April and posted another solid effort with third of nine over C&D ten days ago; considered off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back off the same mark as when making a successful stable debut/reappearance over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in April; possible to forgive his latest effort on the AW and holds good claims otherwise, albeit good to firm ground may pose a small question. |
13/2 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won on stable/seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) and he's remained in good heart on both starts since (1m, good/good to firm); each-way claims provided the return to AW isn't an issue. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins last summer and he showed spark as recently as this April; he's dropped to a dangerous mark but has failed to shine on his last three outings and arrives with something to prove. |
8/1 |

7th 1 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Well treated on the form he showed last August, including win at Haydock and close third at the York Ebor festival; absent since finishing rather tamely over C&D two months ago. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with 1m Southwell win and largely in good nick this season, seventh of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; not ruled out from a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Southwell off this mark in November; runner-up off a 4lb lower mark in this race in 2024 but he hasn't threatened in three starts this year; others make more appeal. |
25/1 |

13th 2 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (1m, good) last summer and signed off 2025 with 1m success at Southwell; better effort this year when respectable seventh of 11 at Beverley (7.5f, good) a fortnight ago; may come on again. |

Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |

6th 8 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner; creditable second in this race in 2022 and 2025 but on both occasions he was in better form at the time; out of sorts since his last success. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained most recent success off 3lb higher last July, enhancing his good record at Ripon; not in anything like the same form since; difficult to support with confidence. |
