6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field over 6f and then in a higher grade than this on last two starts but he has more going for him back over C&D, having won his first attempt last August (good) and then quite readily in May (good to firm); solid claims for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination. |
7/1 |

15th 20 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, surging back to form when scoring there on good to firm last month; a lesser run over 6f has followed but a revival isn't ruled out back at 7f from a good draw. |
25/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, and he surged back to form when scoring there ten days ago; still lightly raced, in excellent hands, and should be at least as effective over this trip on a stiff track; a danger to all at the foot of the weights. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C&D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 1 (10) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He has run a string of good races in 2026, winning for the second time when comfortably seeing off five rivals at Beverley (7.4f, good) last week; that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he can't be discounted under a 5lb penalty. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Veteran who has won three of his 58 races on turf, the latest over this trip at Musselburgh last September (good); has been a bit disappointing this season. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who is a C&D winner but has question marks over current form and whether he's still capable of cutting any mustard aged ten; gives classified grade a whirl. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had wind surgery prior to Ayr reappearance effort that seemed to be needed; gained most recent success off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) just over a year ago and looks interesting back here. |
4/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved. |
9/1 |

8th 4 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Made virtually all off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but not really firing on all cylinders since (six more runs) and has stamina to prove on first venture beyond 1m. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Had some fair form for Richard Hannon last season; running creditably for current stable without really threatening; now drops into a Class 6 and he is one to note for market confidence. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A fair 6f winner for Richard Hannon in 2025; yet to reach that form in five runs for Sam England though, again slowly into his stride when eighth of ten in 6f handicap at Pontefract 12 days ago; others are preferred. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f Polytrack winner; on the slide in the handicap for some time; drops again in grade for this first start at the track; has shown he acts on Tapeta at Newcastle and is on a very handy mark in relation to the form he showed there last October; blinkers go on; remains unproven over this trip. |
33/1 |
|
9th 12 (7) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
AW scorer for previous yard; inconsistent for current stable and has failed to show his form in two starts this term; well treated on best turf efforts but he's not particularly solid. |
