28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Made it 13th-time lucky at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) 18 days ago, but that race was run at a farcically slow gallop; just 2lb higher, but not hard to have serious reservations. |

1st 4 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden who's been turned over as favourite on four of his last six starts, two of them over C&D (behind Angelardo in March), and also behind Lady Phoebe at Pontefract; will be happier back on Tapeta. |

0-11 but he's run some good races at up to an extended 2m on AW since joining this yard and he's dropped some hints that he could be suited by this extreme test of stamina. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, AW) in March and went close over that C&D last month but was well held when fourth behind Laravie at Pontefract (2m1f, good) 11 days ago and still needs to prove himself on turf. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Kept on well to finish ahead of Lady Phoebe at Newcastle (2m) but he's inconsistent and has yet to prove himself on turf. |

2nd 3 (5) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
She had signalled a breakthrough might be coming and it duly did in four-runner event at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) on Thursday; can probably cope with this drop back in trip but a 5lb penalty for that nose success does make life harder; still respected. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
13-race maiden but she's been placed in a handicap at Newcastle (2m, AW) and a classified event at Windsor (11.5f, good to soft) on her last two outings; steps back up in trip with claims if handling this quicker ground. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but ran quite well when fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March and her subsequent 2m5f Flat win makes her of strong interest over this new trip. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 7 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Won by 5.5l over the extended 2m5f here before getting outpaced in a sprint finish back over 2m at Newcastle; remains in good form and entitled to feature. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
1-20, with the win coming in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) last February; runner-up on three occasions, including on good to firm at Chepstow last summer, but was well held at Yarmouth (soft) 15 days ago. |

8st 9lb |
1-19, with the win coming in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) last February; however, he has been in the first three on six occasions, including on turf on a variety of ground; returns to turf with place claims. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inclined to pull hard in this headgear combination for the first time on his comeback and that was a solid effort all things considered (Nymphaea fourth); always the danger he'll do the same under Hope Regan (0-16) but claims if settling. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap here last month; back up 4lb but another bold showing is on the cards with this return to 2m a likely plus. |

Trainer not saddled a Flat winner in around six years; this maiden has tumbled down the handicap since joining from Andre Fabre but has been giving no indication she's ready to take advantage. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Useful in Ireland in his younger days but been poor under both codes for this yard for a good while; tailed off behind two of these at Pontefract last time. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |

He's dropped to a basement mark but his sole win came in 2020 and this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year; first run since last October. |
