23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has been in tremendous form this year, winning five of his last six starts, the most recent under Rhys Elliott at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) eight days ago; unpenalised for that success and holds good claims in hat-trick bid. |
3/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
In tremendous form this year, and has won four of his last five races, three over 1m at Southwell and last time over 7f at Ayr (good to firm); has gone up 19lb (up 3lb for Ayr win) and should go well again. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Second to an in-form subsequent winner over C&D (good to firm) last month and again ran well when close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) nine days ago; remains on a workable mark; must be considered. |

3rd 6 (7) |

On the go since the turn of the year but largely in good nick and he came second of nine in 7f Ayr handicap three weeks ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Productive spell in June/July 2024 featured a C&D success off 6lb higher; poor striike-rate since but he ran encouragingly at Ayr (first turf attempt of 2026) most recently; in the mix. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten at Redcar (7f, good) a fortnight ago, so his losing run continues, but he was in good heart previously and kept on well when making the frame at Ayr (7f, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good); this first crack at 1m is worth a go and he's not ruled out each-way. |
33/1 |
|
9th 2 (12) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (6f) who has been running well in defeat lately having fallen down the weights, as when third of nine at Carlisle (7f, good) three weeks ago; losing run now up to 16, though. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Still 3lb lower than when second of eight at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, but losing run up to 15 and he does seem best at shorter. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Gained all four wins over 7f+ and is yet to hit top gear this season but attracted stewards' attention when keeping on for sixth under tender handling over C&D (soft) last month and remains well handicapped; one to keep a close eye on in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
6th 12 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time winner, all over 7f-1m, but none since May 2024; has run well over C&D in the past and rain won't bother him; beaten favourite in Class 5 events on his last two starts and this is tougher. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
On a long losing sequence but he got back on track with second of 11 in 6f Carlisle handicap eight days ago; needs to reproduce it here. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
He hasn't run badly in Class 6 handicaps on his last two starts but is still operating below his best; likely to run well all the same. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 4yo who has dropped 15lb since the autumn; kept on pretty well from the rear for third of seven at Ripon (6f, good) last week, though, and this stiffer track ought to suit him better. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Southwell maiden (6f, AW) winner in late 2024 but she hasn't placed in five turf handicaps and latest fifth of 11 at Pontefract (6f, good; Invincible Ruby third) will need improving on; career-low mark, though. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Far from solid on her 7f-1m2f form for current stable but this drop back to 6f is an angle in with her; recorded sole success at trip, albeit in an ordinary AW maiden. |
11/1 |
|
16th 4 (18) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Campaigned mostly on AW; not solid on her form for current stable and a return to turf had no effect last time. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f, latterly over C&D in September off 1lb lower than today; two minor honours from three starts this turf season ensure that he has a prominent place in calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f; hasn't worn headgear so far this season and was below-par dropped to 7f last time (good to firm; reportedly never travelling) having run creditably when fourth at Ayr after a break 15 days earlier (1m1f); interesting with cheekpieces back on |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden who ended last season on a low note and was also well beaten on first two outings this year (7f/1m); moves up in trip with a lot to prove. |
33/1 |
|
10th 11 (9) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Finished close up in 7f events on the AW for previous trainer but two handicap runs either side of a break were disappointing and her stamina will be under pressure back on this track. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who has shown ability and has edged down the weights, but she wasn't at the top of her game on her final three runs last season and remains a maiden after ten starts; others are more compelling. |
33/1 |
