17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Made light of a ten-month absence in small-field Doncaster handicap (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; this comes quite quick on the back of that but she's an unexposed sort from a leading stable that is in tremendous form. |
12/1 |

1st 4 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed 4yo who won a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) last May and she didn't get much luck when fourth on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) last summer; now returns after 311 days off but she still has potential and is an interesting contender off the same mark as last time. |
3/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Left May's debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) miles behind for 33-1 win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and 2l second in Southwell novice (1m, AW); begins handicap life on a competitive mark and her pedigree provides hope she'll be capable of better still; one of two 3yos for her leading trainer. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
On dangerous mark but he's finished down the field in three runs this term and is now 0-12 in Flat turf events; others preferred. |
25/1 |

5th 7 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often ran well last year, including on turf, and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he's finished down the field on both outings this season; he may be of greater interest when the blinkers return. |
25/1 |

7th 9 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
In good form in blinkers towards the end of last year, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he has a poor strike-rate and wasn't at his best in cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m, AW) six weeks ago following a break; cheekpieces remain on today. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in April and posted another solid effort with third of nine over C&D ten days ago; considered off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back off the same mark as when making a successful stable debut/reappearance over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in April; possible to forgive his latest effort on the AW and holds good claims otherwise, albeit good to firm ground may pose a small question. |
13/2 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won on stable/seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) and he's remained in good heart on both starts since (1m, good/good to firm); each-way claims provided the return to AW isn't an issue. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Good and bad in five runs for this yard, but wasn't beaten far the last time at Newcastle (1m) and on the evidence of that run this far is worth exploring. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field on three of his four starts for this yard, including at Doncaster three weeks ago on latest outing; however, prior to that he caught the eye with a close fourth at Nottingham and he's 4lb lower today; capable of going well. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
His sole win was in a maiden in August 2024 but he turned things around with a close fourth at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; didn't get the best of runs in that race and has claims if he can back that up. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off. |
20/1 |
|
5th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form to make all at 28-1 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained); strong claims up 3lb if he can back up that latest performance. |
11/4 |

1st 9 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Record at Redcar comprises his two wins for previous yard and best effort for new stable; York form comprises poor efforts in this race last year and in latest outing; something to prove. |
20/1 |
|
5 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won two in a row at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last spring for George Boughey; now 2lb lower than for his last success but he's been disappointing since including for new yard this spring; this is a big drop back in grade but he reared at the start at York last time and others are more convincing. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer (can front run) who won three times last year, twice at Doncaster (1m) and at York (1m, good); reappeared from 203 days off with a solid effort at Newmarket (1m, good) last month but he was withdrawn after becoming upset in the stalls at Doncaster on his last intended start. |
15/2 |

7 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won twice over C&D last summer and he defied this mark when beating 15 rivals at York last September; reappeared with a creditable fourth at Newmarket last month and he's a big player if he can build on that. |
