6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition. |

Resurgent 7yo who completed a 7f Carlisle double on Monday and has now won five times this year; has 4lb penalty to carry but he won't mind if the ground eases; commands respect in current mood. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

Ex-Declan Carroll; C&D winner last July (soft); below par at Beverley last week but comes into the reckoning on his two seconds over C&D in May (good). |

Three wins for previous yard; has encouraging form this term for new stable and last two efforts (runner-up over 7f both times) suggest his turn is near; 3lb below last winning mark; shortlisted. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just did enough to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March, his 17th start, and also ran well when third behind The Gay Blade over C&D (good) last month, having made a big forward move in the early stages; his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he can make his presence felt. |

3rd 3 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-19 and his best form has come on the AW, albeit he didn't run very well at Southwell last time and his previous fourth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) was better; frame material again based on that effort. |
10/1 |

9th 10 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Placed twice here in March prior to getting off the mark at Newcastle (1m, AW), winning by a nose; ran a solid race when fourth of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) 27 days ago and has claims back on this surface. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; put some disappointing efforts behind him and made bold bid from the front before weakening into fourth behind The Gay Blade over C&D (good) last month but others appeal more all the same. |

0-7; showed plenty of ability in both starts on soft ground as a 2yo, but has regressed in an abbreviated career since; best watched. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has an ordinary strike-rate overall but he broke his turf duck over C&D (good to soft; acts well on good to firm) in June and nearly always runs well in sprints on this track; one of the better options. |
9/4 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Only win in 19 turf runs was at Hamilton in June (6f, good to soft); close third to Jm Jhingree (runs in the 2.30) in a 5f Hamilton seller last month (good) and close fourth in a 5f handicap there on Saturday; each-way chance. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Ended a losing run over 6f here in June and not disgraced when a staying-on third of five over C&D last time; not ruled out if getting a strong gallop to aim at. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner who followed a good C&D second on his return in April with a below-par sixth in 7f Carlisle handicap last month; not the easiest to predict but he goes very well here so needs considering. |

6th 1 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Not the most prolific, but he was returning from 134 days off when beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; respected off 1lb higher if coming on from that. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive as a 3yo (C&D winner) but regressed last year and has continued to slide this season; hit a bit of traffic when not beaten far in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest but others look to have stronger claims. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing run and he beat only one in 7f Carlisle handicap 18 days ago; this C&D winner needs to take a big step forward in first-time cheekpieces. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but has suffered heavy defeats back on turf the last twice; first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September, but there was a heavy defeat on his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) five weeks ago. |
16/1 |
|
15th 8 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Newcastle (7f) in September and bettered that form when third over 6f at Southwell (also AW) in November; had wind surgery before respectable comeback over latter C&D one month ago; unexposed on turf and worth a second look. |
