17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May and she's twice gone close here since, over C&D and at 1m3f; features prominently in calculations. |
11/4 |

2nd 1 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month before respectable sixth at Thirsk (1m, good) and close second here (8.3f, good); comfortably held in fourth over 1m at Carlisle yesterday; takes a sizeable step up in trip but her trainer's horses are frequently versatile in terms of distance; might be a player if she stays. |

Returned to form when 12-1 and prevailing by a nose at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month; beaten just a neck off this mark at Hamilton last Wednesday and she's likely to play a part again with Tom Marquand taking the reins; due to go up 2lb. |

In a consistent vein of form over 1m until below par over 1m1f last time; went very close over C&D on penultimate start and could go well returned to his usual trip. |

Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; good runner-up efforts at Thirsk (1m, good) and Ayr (1m, good to firm) since; the line came a couple of strides too soon for his strong finish at Ayr and the extra yardage this afternoon may help; enters calculations. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
11yo who needs to produce more than he's managed on his last three starts but he's 3lb lower than when a close third at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May and has won at Ripon seven times; went close here in August 2024 when he last wore these blinkers (which replace cheekpieces); not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; best form this term when placed a few times in spring, showing that he retains plenty of ability aged 11; gained last win off 7lb higher over C&D and can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Tough front-runner; ran a rare poor race last time but had been in good form prior to that, notably when a close third at Ayr last month (1m, good to firm); major chance. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May and followed up in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) in the Carlisle Bell (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago to make it four wins from his last seven starts; climbing the weights but this thriving 4yo could give another good account. |
10/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Added to his two AW successes since joining these connections when winning over this C&D 25 days ago (good to firm); best form has been on quick ground and he's a contender off this 3lb higher mark; cheekpieces, worn once previously, now return. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has done well over 1m for new connections, finding plenty for two wins on sand at Newcastle in late 2025; given a break after and two turf runs since, at Beverley and when fourth at Ayr ten days ago, suggest he isn't just an AW pony; can go well. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |

On dangerous mark but he's finished down the field in three runs this term and is now 0-12 in Flat turf events; others preferred. |
25/1 |

5th 7 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often ran well last year, including on turf, and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he's finished down the field on both outings this season; he may be of greater interest when the blinkers return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
In good form in blinkers towards the end of last year, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he has a poor strike-rate and wasn't at his best in cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m, AW) six weeks ago following a break; cheekpieces remain on today. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who has been a prolific winner down the years, including at Carlisle; not solid on 2026 form but this drop back in grade may have positive effect; successful in last Class 5 attempt. |
11/1 |

6th 10 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |
|
12th 15 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each run as a 3yo, getting off the mark in a C&D maiden last October (good ground); couldn't land a blow on his seasonal/handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, but still has potential and blinkers could help unlock it. |
3/1 |
|
7th 2 (12) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made debut last September and improved with each of his first three runs, winning at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in October when last seen; Newmarket trainer Roger Varian has a very healthy 29% strike-rate here and this well-bred 4yo has considerable potential off his opening mark. |
2/1 |

7 (3) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
900,000gns yearling with top-notch pedigree; not much went right when midfield on debut at Windsor (1m, good) last month and he was beaten just a head at Lingfield (1m, AW) next time, when still looking inexperienced; there's a good chance he has more to offer and he's firmly in calculations. |

Gained a first win of 2026 in 1m handicap at Carlisle 12 days ago, getting up late to deny Inspired having been set a lot to do; bagged a remarkable seven successes (including here) last season so merits serious consideration now she's up and running this time around. |

Scorched through last summer, winning seven times at 6f-1m on a range of surfaces; back on last winning mark when close fourth here (7f, good to firm) on penultimate start and wasn't disgraced in big-field York handicap three weeks ago; cannot be ignored. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Had a wonderful 2025, winning seven times at 6f-1m on a range of surfaces; back on last winning mark and first sign of encouragement this year when running on for fourth of nine over 7f at Carlisle (good to firm) 13 days ago; player if she can build on that. |

10st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; much less effective when ridden very patiently on all four appearances this season but her keeping-on fifth here (1m2f, soft) last month was a big step back in the right direction; well handicapped now and needs close attention in the betting. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Always behind on all three appearances this season but was a three-time course winner (1m, good to firm-soft) last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; fine over today's trip and sure to appreciate this ease in grade; interesting to see whether connections opt to revert to more positive tactics today. |

A fair 7f winner for John and Thady Gosden in 2025; back on song for his current yard with a clear second of seven in 1m Pontefract handicap 12 days ago; a likely player nudged up 2lb. |

Sole win from 12 starts came in a Ripon novice in 2024 (1m, good); hasn't been the most consistent this season and he's been well beaten on his last two outings; down to a career-low mark but others are preferred. |

Often front-runner who can race freely; sole win from ten starts came in a Ripon novice (1m, good) in August 2024 but his best effort since undergoing wind surgery came when a 1l third of 11 at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month; below his best in two starts since. |
