3rd 1 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 11th time lucky when seeing off three rivals at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but the majority of those starts have been over 1m2f+ so he is unexposed over this sort of trip; Oisin Murphy also has a very good record for the stable. |

1st 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-10 although he did 'win' at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; demoted for interference) last August; best run since when second to Classic Encounter at Redcar (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) when last seen in May; gets a weights pull and a form case can be made. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden; two sound runs over 1m2f after being gelded last August (relegated after passing post in front on second occasion); disappointing at 1m4f this season, but drop to 1m not sure to suit; visor now tried. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; back close to that form when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has claims but he's often held up (tends to start slowly) and this isn't the easiest course to make ground up. |
13/2 |

5th 11 (14) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; not at the same level when mid-division there (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but can be in the shake-up if swiftly rediscovering his previous form. |
14/1 |
|
10th 15 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to win for new connections but he has run stormers here (7f/1m, both good ground) on his last two starts, bumping into a handicap blot on the first occasion and going down by just a neck two weeks ago; slow starts are a problem though and he will need things to go his way; cheekpieces now join the tongue tie. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and hasn't prevailed in this sphere since York success three years ago; midfield when the 125-1 rank outsider back here last time. |
66/1 |

10th 8 (21) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been operating below his best since; drawn widest and likely best to look elsewhere. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been rather below his best since; equally effective on turf and has won over 1m on fast ground; others look better handicapped. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m winner in 2025 but yet to hit top form this season, finishing just fourth of six in 1m Pontefract handicap 17 days ago; on a falling mark but more is required. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple winner over 1m-1m2f; versatile regarding going; 12lb lower than his most recent win at Ripon 13 months ago; plenty to prove based on five of his six starts this season. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |

Won at Ripon (1m, soft) last July off a mark 12lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended 2025 with 7f Newcastle victory and he's back in very good form of late, third of 14 in 1m handicap at Redcar a week ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Just a respectable fourth of seven over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but that run came after a short break and he's now well handicapped if judged on some of this spring's form; worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Signed off for 2025 at Newmarket (7f) in November and in good nick this season until coming in last of six over C&D in May; the sort to bounce back after a break. |
