22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; three wins earlier in the season and she ran as well as she ever has when second of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn to attack; handles good to soft but unraced on slower. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; creditable efforts in defeat in a trio of handicaps over this minimum trip since; just as effective at 6f and enters calculations with the Ivan Furtado stable among the winners. |

Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; solid efforts twice since and she is well drawn to attack; should put up a bold show back down in class. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Can pull hard; three places but no wins from 11 starts; capable of going well, as he showed when second in two races in the spring (one on the AW) but not particularly consistent. |
20/1 |
|
9th 2 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

In the frame in six of his ten starts and 1lb higher than when going close over this trip at Southwell (AW) and Beverley (good to soft) in the spring; no headgear for the first time since his third start as a 2yo; each-way claims again. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 but he has been banging at the door this year, placed four times between April and June; not at his best here (6f, good) four weeks ago but it was still a fair run and dropping back in trip won't hurt. |
7/1 |
|
5th 12 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
He was stuck in the placings when running well this spring and again couldn't quite put it to bed when runner-up at Chester (6f, soft; acts on quicker) a fortnight ago; mark is creeping up but it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of it once more. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
More than capable of winning a similar race judged on his three handicap runs this year, latterly a second of 12 in a Class 4 at Thirsk 12 days ago (5f, good; third-placed horse has won since); handles good to soft but untried on slower; solid contender. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Ran quite well over C&D in May and he is 7lb lower today; that is a result of two lacklustre efforts subsequently and connections now turn to cheekpieces; risky but not impossible. |

12th 12 (13) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A fair 5f juvenile winner; back to form with fourth in 5f Beverley handicap in May and didn't enjoy a smooth run (also stumbled 1f out) when sixth of seven at Pontefract (5f) last time; returns from a break in a competitive race and others may have his measure. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; no improvement for wind surgery when third of seven at Nottingham last month; drops back to 5f with a point to prove. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Unimproved for the addition of cheekpieces (retained here nonetheless) at Ripon in May, and wind surgery resorted to since; effectiveness over a galloping 6f yet to be tested, but 2lb lower mark looks competitive judged against the RPR of last autumn's Leicester debut (5f). |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Made the frame on all three 2yo starts (5f-6f) and again showed clear promise when fifth of 14 on recent seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft), despite racing too freely in the early stages and hanging left at the business end; back up in trip and 2lb lower here; a possible. |

9st 1lb |
Won an Ayr maiden (6f, good) and a C&D novice (good to firm) last August; some fair runs in handicaps this season, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten a long way with cheekpieces added at York last time; stablemate of Bleep Test. |

Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-8 in handicaps but he's started to knock on the door from this reduced mark with a pair of third-place finishes this month; this is a better race but newly applied cheekpieces might eke out more. |

4th 1 (5) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame on all five starts last season, including when fourth on handicap debut over C&D on final outing (2-1 favourite); pulled hard when below-par on Beverley reappearance (5f, good to soft) but should come on for the run; interesting down in grade. |

Made it 2-5 on AW when beating Brave Traveller at Newcastle (5f) last Friday; 2lb lower back on turf but he's 0-7 in this sphere and has form figures of 68008 on grass this season; not hard to have reservations. |

Nine-race maiden; below form when only eighth at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) six weeks ago and still needs to prove himself on fast ground but has been given a good chance by the handicapper and this is his first run since last month's wind op. |

Yet to win but he has finished second three times in novice/maiden company; cheekpieces have been worn for his three handicap runs and he has finished unplaced, albeit a bit of mid-race interference didn't help his cause over C&D four weeks ago; now drops into a 0-70 and could yet come good. |

Front-runner who has been running well on turf since the visor went back on, winning at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in July and at Redcar (6f, good) 12 days ago; up 7lb and makes his Polytrack debut, but this sharp 6f should suit; shortlisted. |

Beaten a neck over C&D in June; made amends the following week before his revised mark could kick into force, making all to fend off a pair of rivals who also raced far side early on in that contest; weakened quickly when last of four at Nottingham latest; needs to bounce back. |

Sole win was in a small-field novice at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last autumn but she's on a reduced mark and was an eye-catching second at Thirsk (6f, good) 12 days ago; should go well again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |

Reappeared with a promising fourth on handicap debut at Catterick (5f, good) last month but he's finished out the back in both subsequent runs; a tongue-tie didn't work last time and he needs major revival with cheekpieces now tried. |
