20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ran out the easy winner of a handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; up 6lb but slower ground won't faze him and he can't be ruled out. |
100/30 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Never involved on reappearance but he'd been off for ten months and he could easily do better today, having been placed in just two C&D runs, including when going close in this race in 2024 (under Lewis Chalkley who switches to So Grateful); not ruled out. |

Went winless last season but ran well on occasions and he's handicapped to go in at some point; seems to run well fresh. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has run two good races this season, last time getting off the mark on turf at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his form for Clive Cox; best run for present yard when second at Beverley on reappearance (5f, good to firm; blinkers back on); well drawn and should go well in an ordinary race. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
An AW winner in 2024 for previous yard but he needs to improve on his turf efforts for new connections last year; lack of a recent run is another negative. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Made it 2-2 for new trainer Robert Cowell when comfortably seeing off eight rivals at Wolverhampton (5f) last week; effectively 7lb higher here but it doesn't look enough to stop him in his current mood. |
13/8 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Ruth Carr; won at Windsor on last week's stable debut (5f, good to firm); could go well despite the penalty but has yet to win in nine attempts on AW. |
5/4 |
|
1st 6 (9) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
1-1 at Windsor, thanks to a 6f handicap in 2024, and also scored at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last June; overall strike-rate is 2-29 but usually thereabouts and each-way claims on this first start since leaving Ruth Carr. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (5f) in June and posted a good second of five over C&D 16 days ago; this C&D winner can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D last August and at Pontefract (5f, good) on June 8 this year; 4l fourth of six at Nottingham (5f, soft) three days later, which may have come too soon; could make a bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has course form; 6f and 5f wins have come on a variety of tracks and he's won two of his six 5f runs since having wind surgery, most recently at Pontefract (good; acts well on soft) on Monday; unpenalised for that apprentice win under Oliver Carmichael; leading claims. |

Yet to win on turf and needs to improve on his sixth over C&D last time (good to firm). |
13/2 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win away from Tapeta, and while June's half-length second in a Doncaster handicap (6f, good to firm) represents his nearest ever miss on turf, it's been diminishing returns from him again since. |
8/1 |
|
7th 14 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time AW winner but 0-14 on turf; his last two runs on grass have offered hope that he can win a small race on fast ground though and he is one for the shortlist. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Has won three times on AW, but 0-13 on turf; however, went close last time when beaten 0.5l at Doncaster (6f, good); each-way chance. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who finished 1l third over C&D (good) most recently, posting her best turf effort; place possibilities off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came on the AW in early 2025; her more recent efforts on either side of a wind operation have been thoroughly underwhelming. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Better known on AW; can lead but he came from off the pace when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month under James Glennon; nothing went right from a wide draw at Beverley since but he does act well on fast ground and has a generally good record over C&D (course winner at 5f); thereabouts. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple AW wins; much less prolific on turf but he was running over 5f on grass for the first time since a 2024 win when getting up near the line at Bath (firm) recently under James Glennon; has an awkward draw but this track may also suit; has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A three-time 6f AW winner in 2025 and in good nick over the winter; just as effective on turf and this quirky sort is not out of things back from a break today. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

2-39 on turf, but creditable fourth at Ayr last week (6f, good); worth considering. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has course form at 5f; losing run goes back to Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May 2025 and he's been through troubled times since, despite taking a healthy slide down the weights; risky. |
33/1 |
|
10th 10 (11) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Out of sorts since his last win and failed to beat a rival on seasonal debut; best watched unless the betting suggests a revival is likely. |
