1st 2 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat. |
6/5 |

1st 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in May and he was back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Tuesday, making virtually all under Jack Nicholls; yard continues in flying form and he's respected under a penalty. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Scored five times (including over C&D) in 2025; in very good nick lately too, second for the third consecutive start in 6f handicap here last month; a likely player once more off an unchanged mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (5f) in June and posted a good second of five over C&D 16 days ago; this C&D winner can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D last August and at Pontefract (5f, good) on June 8 this year; 4l fourth of six at Nottingham (5f, soft) three days later, which may have come too soon; could make a bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has course form; 6f and 5f wins have come on a variety of tracks and he's won two of his six 5f runs since having wind surgery, most recently at Pontefract (good; acts well on soft) on Monday; unpenalised for that apprentice win under Oliver Carmichael; leading claims. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Musselburgh (5f) in June; only seventh of 11 in 5f Ayr handicap three days ago so she needs to bounce back. |
3/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Only turf win came off a 7lb lower mark at Musselburgh in June (5f, good); two decent runs since then, goes well on fast ground and one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all over C&D (good) at the beginning of the month and very nearly repeated the feat last week, collared only in the final strides; same mark today and another bold bid looks assured in her current mood. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All her wins have come on good or slower and with that in mind her recent second at Wetherby on good to firm was most encouraging; the more rain to fall the better and she's a major player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All his wins have been at 5f on good or softer; three fair runs this year; a possible, but stall 9 not ideal. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who finished 1l third over C&D (good) most recently, posting her best turf effort; place possibilities off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came on the AW in early 2025; her more recent efforts on either side of a wind operation have been thoroughly underwhelming. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Dual winner over 5f, the most recent coming at Redcar in April on good to firm; below his best in two starts since but has an each-way chance. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm; beating Zuffolo and Kyber Crystal, from 5lb lower) on penultimate start but wasn't in the same form at Hamilton subsequently, possibly inconvenienced by the draw; won on soft last year, so unlikely to mind whatever the weather does. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f; inconsistent since sole win; his chance of taking advantage of a reduced mark partly depends on the effects of this return to 7f; record over this trip isn't fully conclusive. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Took this in 2025 but winless since and just a fair fifth of eight over C&D five days ago; this veteran needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
It's now 13 starts since he scored over C&D last July and he's largely been below par this season, seventh of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 11 days ago; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
C&D scorer who ran his most encouraging race of the campaign when third (Wee Mary second) over C&D (good) eight days ago; his best form of 2025 came at this time of the year so it's possible he can build on that. |

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

Ran okay on her seasonal return in April but she hasn't built on it in four runs since; had 17 runs at 6f+ and she has been unplaced in all of them. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has done her winning over 5f, most recently off 4lb higher at Pontefract last September (inconsistent since); attractively treated but has something to prove back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
11th 10 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
5-55; outran her double-figure odds when third to Beerwah and Zuffolo on seasonal reappearance at Redcar (5f, good); she's failed to build on that since, only fifth (runner-up a winner since) back there ten days ago; is due to ease a further 2lb in the weights. |
