2nd 2 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run over C&D in May and posted another solid effort (in a refitted hood) when fourth of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap ten days ago; this keen-going sort is not out of things off an unchanged mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a maiden over 1m at two but all four wins since have been over shorter, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last month; too free at York (7f) 11 days ago and he'll need to settle better now returned to this trip with the hood back on (worn once in 2023). |
14/1 |

9th 19 (17) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form for a neck win at 12-1 at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; back up in grade today but he's just 1lb higher and remains well treated on last season's best efforts; could go well once more. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Has gradually come to hand for new stable and made all, unchallenged, over C&D (good) most recently; 3lb ahead of the assessor under a penalty but another easy lead isn't certain; back up two grades. |
25/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Only ever won twice and been dry in almost two years; back in form last time, from the front (given no peace) without the usual hood and that gave something to build on off the same mark; goes on the shortlist. |
4/1 |

2nd 11 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Has rejoined Micky Fenton and not seen to ideal effect under an aggressive ride when third of seven in 7f Yarmouth handicap 17 days ago; can make his presence felt off a 2lb lower mark here. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner who is in a consistent vein of form this term, placing in handicaps over 1m1f and 1m here (both good) on his last two outings; this longer trip asks a different question but he's likely to be on the premises again if his stamina holds. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate is 6-26; soon in a consistent vein of form this term and was beaten only half a length by the market leader in York event (1m1f, good) most recently, taking record at this venue to 512; solid. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 6 (15) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a six-time winner (from 5f to 7f); has returned in similarly good form, finishing third at Thirsk (1m, good; to Empire Of Light) and Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last month; each-way claims again. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His progress for James Owen has been quite a story, winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December off a 40lb lower mark; fine second-place finishes on his last two runs and still seems to be improving; each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won four in a row on AW earlier this year and beaten less than 1l when fourth of 11 at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in May; went even closer when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has solid claims. |

Completed a four-time on the AW at Lingfield (1m) in March; has continued in good nick on turf, fourth of 11 in 7.5f Beverley handicap three weeks ago; ought to be thereabouts. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All three wins at around 7f on good or good to firm ground; possibly unsuited by 1m on soft at Goodwood last time; 7lb below last winning mark and could be dangerous under optimum conditions. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
All three wins at about 7f on good and good to firm; has more to prove at 1m but previous handicap attempts at the trip were in better company than this and it's likely he will stay this far round here; can go well following a creditable show at Beverley recently; Lewis Kent 2-2 for yard. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (8) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 6f/7f scorer in 2024; quite lightly raced since but back to form with sixth of 11 in 7.5f Beverley handicap three weeks ago; not out of things with this shorter trip a plus. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ayr Bronze Cup winner in 2024 who also posted some good efforts without winning in 2025; beat one on his return in 7f Haydock handicap after nine months off but he should strip sharper now. |
10/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Ayr Bronze Cup in fine style (6f, good); 0-5 in 2025 but looked to retain all his ability; conditions won't be an issue and he has run well first time out in each of his seasons of racing; chance. |

Ended 2025 with 1m Southwell win and largely in good nick this season, seventh of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; not ruled out from a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Southwell off this mark in November; runner-up off a 4lb lower mark in this race in 2024 but he hasn't threatened in three starts this year; others make more appeal. |
25/1 |
|
13th 2 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Course winner (1m, good) last summer and signed off 2025 with 1m success at Southwell; better effort this year when respectable seventh of 11 at Beverley (7.5f, good) a fortnight ago; may come on again. |

9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

3rd 2 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 1lb higher; also good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and better than eighth of 11 might suggest at Beverley ten days later, fading late after racing too keenly; Mason Paetel has won on him before; runner-up once from two outings over C&D and enters calculations. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025, including over this C&D; mainly below his best this season but he didn't run too badly when sixth at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; on a handy mark and now drops in grade. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Drawn wide when down the field at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time; his earlier 6f form brings him right into the reckoning and rain would be a positive; solid chance. |

10th 6 (10) |

3rd 4 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Racing League handicap off this mark last summer; three solid efforts this year, including a third at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month and a close fourth in big field at Ripon two weeks ago; remains lightly raced on AW and he's a key player back in this sphere. |

Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here. |
