4th 4 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Doubled his tally when winning at Ripon (6f, good) in May and ran well when third here over 6f two weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added but he will likely need them to go a good gallop dropped back in trip. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins in 6f handicaps in May; beaten favourite in 5f handicaps at York and Thirsk on his last two starts but has left the impression there is still a bit more to come; return to 6f will help and he's a major player. |
7/2 |

4th 6 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Looked on the up when bagging 6f handicaps at Hamilton and Ripon in May; not discredited (did best of those in near-side group) when fifth of 13 at York (5f, good) four days ago; player. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid comeback before chasing home an improver at Hamilton; took a backward step as favourite over C&D (hung right) last time and is now tried in another form of headgear; went the wrong last year and has to prove he isn't following the same pattern. |
5/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a whimper but a gelding operation has bucked his ideas up and he has run well for second in two 6f handicaps this spring; likely to be bang there once again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last season petered out after a promising start, but he was gelded prior to his comeback run at Newcastle (6f handicap) where he went down narrowly under a prominent ride; clear claims on the back of that after a 1lb nudge. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Can lead; came to the end of his tether over 7f on soft ground here recently and he's more favourably treated now than when close up over 6f at Hamilton (good) in May; does need a bit more for a first win, though. |
6/1 |
|
13 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent enough this year but he will need to raise his game a notch if he is to come out on top in this field. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Regularly makes the frame, third over 5.5f at Wetherby on latest start; however, he looks fully exposed and a wide draw may not be ideal. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when gamely landing a 6f handicap at Ripon (good ground) in April; beaten at short odds when fourth to Simba's Pride at Hamilton shortly afterwards and his form then dipped at Pontefract (5f) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should help; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded. |
9/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran creditably last time when bidding for a 6f double (maiden previously); proving consistent and has form at 5f; in the mix, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough last week at Ripon (6f, good) and the 4lb rise could have been worse as the front two pulled nearly 5l clear; obvious chance in this weak race. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Remains winless and she beat one over C&D five days ago; more is required if she's to gain a breakthrough win at the 12th attempt. |
33/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has yet to make the frame in five runs for her current yard, a never-dangerous sixth of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 19 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
14/1 |
|
6th 11 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has failed to hit top form for her current yard, fifth of nine in 6f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago; more is required if she's to get off the mark. |

Has achieved meagre RPRs over sprint distances; this new trip needs to make a big difference. |

6th 8 (4) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Failed to beat many rivals in five runs for Ollie Sangster, including two 5f nurseries when blinkered; new trainer fits a hood; too much to prove; 1lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |

5th 8 (7) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Beat a total of two home in trio of maiden/novice contests and fared no better when behind two of these on last week's nursery debut, having been gelded; blinkers retained. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best run when second of four in a Musselburgh novice (5f, soft) on final start for Iain Jardine last October; yet to hit top form for new yard (6f/5f), but has been dropped 10lb. |
20/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Picked up from Iain Jardine last autumn for 7,000gns; two poor efforts for her new yard this spring and isn't obviously fancied despite being dropped 5lb. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Bought for 7,000gns in October after showing some ability at two, though the second came in a four-runner race; remote last on yard debut but that was a novice for which she was 80-1; may fare better on this handicap debut. |

Broadly regressive maiden whose chance depends on the effects of physical tweak (wind surgery since last run). |

8th 7 (8) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Offered little thus far, including two sprint nurseries; tongue-tie added for reappearance. |
