17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
2-2 in AW novices last year and she retained her unbeaten record on handicap debut at Doncaster (also 6f, good to firm) in May; drop to 5f and soft ground didn't see her replicate her best in Ayr Listed event four weeks ago but better can be expected in this scenario. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Looked a good prospect when winning 6f novices at Kempton and Southwell last September; maintained her unbeaten record with a narrow success in a handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; drops to 5f on the slowest ground she will have faced but hard to knock an unbeaten filly. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner but turf successes are thin on the ground now, just one in over three years; however, he's been running up to his best since back on grass, going down narrowly in a higher grade at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in May and another solid effort there last time; thereabouts. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Tough sort whose form over C&D features a success last August and sound efforts in two of his last three outings; ties in with two of today's rivals on the latest one; solid chance. |

5th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed sprinter who wins in his turn these days but his C&D record reads 312; that latest visit was just one month ago and he competes from the same mark as when far from disgraced in midfield at York a fortnight ago; each-way contender. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fifth over C&D (soft) in Bronze Cup in September and filled same position in 19-runner Doncaster handicap (6f, good to soft) on reappearance in March; slightly disappointing on good to firm ground last time but conditions ought to be suitable for him today; one to consider. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Yard going well and won this in 2023 and 2024; solid comeback behind Akkadian Thunder over C&D five weeks ago, when picked off late by four who'd sat in the rear, and is 3lb better off with that one; player. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner; finished well for fourth at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in May but has rather mixed record since returned to turf in April and never really got involved at York last time. |
9/1 |
|
18th 2 (18) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Tends to come from well off the pace and sometimes meets trouble; did well in the circumstances when a never-nearer fourth of 14 at Carlisle two weeks ago; won over C&D last spring; big player if the gaps appear. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (15) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Promising second on reappearance at Newcastle and better than the bare results suggest since, meeting significant trouble in running in a big field at York last time; could play a major role if getting the breaks. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
In good form last June, winning off this mark over C&D (good) before an excellent second at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); some fair efforts this season and on a good mark now; not out of it. |
4/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten on his last 14 starts and he's been expensive to follow in that time, but he was denied a clear run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when fifth of 19 at York (7f, good) last time; could be thereabouts. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
His losing sequence is up to 13 but he's 4lb lower than when runner-up at Royal Ascot last June and was denied a clear run when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; bang there if getting the breaks. |
