16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Better than ever this season and she went 2-3 for the campaign in 11-runner handicap over C&D 11 days ago; showed a good attitude there so merits serious consideration nudged up 2lb. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Built on her reappearance when beating her five rivals at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago; won a maiden on good to soft in 2024 and has claims back up 5lb. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
2-3 at Catterick, fending off Lucius Aurelius there (5f, good to firm; from 4lb higher) in April 2025; 0-8 since but did take a step back in the right direction when third to Betweenthesticks on seasonal reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good; 9-2) four weeks ago; possible player. |

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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in May and comes here on the back of a solid third of 13 in 6f Ayr handicap ten days ago; must enter calculations eased 1lb in his bid for a first turf victory. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All seven AW wins at 5f but was never involved on Newcastle Tapeta ten days ago; 0-21 on turf and something new is needed back at 6f on grass. |
20/1 |

10th 14 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Recorded his seventh AW win when landing a 5f handicap (0-60) at Wolverhampton in April; ran as well as he ever has on turf when third of six at Ayr 37 days ago; needs more in this company. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Quirky customer with two C&D wins on his record and now 6lb lower than for last July's success; running himself into form this year but his stable look to hold stronger claims elsewhere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Best run was his second in a novice last season but only three ran; opposable on his handicap form and blinkers did nothing last time. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Unraced as a 2yo; promise in his first four starts, but took a step backwards at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last time; blinkers need to bring about a resurgence. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped encouragingly on seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Nottingham (5f, good; 10-1) last week; it's still early days in his career, and he remains open to further improvement. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form when making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a selling handicap over C&D (good to firm) last month; lost a shoe when down the field at Ayr (5f, good to firm) on Monday but this is a hotter race than the one he won here two starts ago and others are more compelling. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning a selling handicap at Hamilton last time (5f, good to firm); only 2lb higher so not out of it with headgear on again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner (one over C&D) who is 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (5f, AW) last December; however, he's struggled since April and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
