6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win from nine starts came in a maiden at Ayr (6f, soft) in September; below that level since but he shaped a bit better than the bare result at Haydock (6f, soft) 15 days ago; each-way chance. |
9/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Down the field in good-ground handicaps on his two starts this year, the latest at Hamilton on Sunday; however, he won a soft-ground maiden at Ayr (6f) last September and the return to a slow surface may be just what he needs. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Didn't really build on a good start for Richard Hannon and he took a couple of goes to warm up for this yard; much better last time, however, when second of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago; now he needs to kick on from that. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came for Richard Hannon at Newmarket (6f, good) last May; struggled on his last few starts for that stable and he's not threatened in his two outings since joining this yard; dropped another 3lb. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Busy 2yo for Richard Hannon, winning a C&D novice last May and sometimes acquitting himself well after, despite having stiff tasks; has dropped down the weights and he ran respectably on yard/AW debut at Newcastle recently (7-2), eased when beaten; may well do much better back on turf. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-8 in handicaps but he's started to knock on the door from this reduced mark with a pair of third-place finishes this month; this is a better race but newly applied cheekpieces might eke out more. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-7 in handicaps but he's on a reduced mark and was a creditable third of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) two weeks ago; that was his best run for some time and he has claims if he can build on it. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been at Ripon over 6f, the most recent on good to soft in April; reported to have bled from the nose when failing to beat a rival at York (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) last month and needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
13th 7 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Started the season with two good runs, notably a 6f win at Ripon in April (good to soft); two subsequent runs less convincing and connections now reach for cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been over 6f at Ripon, the most recent in April on good to soft off 4lb lower than today; led a smaller group of five when 11th at Ascot (6f, good) 28 days ago but looks capable of bouncing back. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win but he has finished second three times in novice/maiden company; cheekpieces have been worn for his three handicap runs and he has finished unplaced, albeit a bit of mid-race interference didn't help his cause over C&D four weeks ago; now drops into a 0-70 and could yet come good. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field on his handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month but ran a bit better when fourth of 11 at Haydock (6f, soft) 15 days ago; better still needed. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-6 when disappointing favourite in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on recent handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); it's hard to be confident on the back of that but he was runner-up three times previously and is effective on soft ground, so it's too soon to write him off. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed just once from six outings and his best efforts so far have come on the AW; below par at Thirsk two weeks ago; needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-5 but runner-up in a novice at Newcastle (5f, AW) in November; midfield finish on handicap debut at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and ran to a similar level there (7f) four weeks ago; drops back in trip on this return to turf. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up in a novice at Newcastle (5f) in November and he left the impression 7f could suit when sixth over 6f here on his handicap debut in April; should come on for the run and he's on the shortlist. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 6f nursery course nursery in December and also a close second over C&D last month (first run since being gelded); not so good on turf since but better can be expected back on AW. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 6f nursery at Newcastle in December and went close there last time over 5f on his first start since being gelded; steps back up in trip and returns to turf; can make his presence felt. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f nursery here off 2lb lower late last year; below that level in two runs back and has been gelded since only beating one home down to this trip at Catterick six weeks ago. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Stepped up from 6f to turnover a long odds-on favourite in a match race over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) 15 days ago; hard to be certain of the worth of that form but his rival had been in form with two wins prior to that and this son of Kodiac is unexposed at the new trip. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made low-key seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago and is now 0-5 as a sprinter; might have needed that recent outing and this new trip could plausibly unlock improvement. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Placed a few times for previous yard but looks far from solid on her form for current stable; best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is likely. |
25/1 |
|
9th 11 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden who was runner-up at Lingfield (7f, AW) on her final outing for Richard Hannon; however, she's struggled in three starts for this yard (1m/6f) and has a bit to prove. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden but she posted a solid effort when third of nine on her handicap debut at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October; off since but should be suited by the step back up in trip. |
11/1 |
|
3 (1) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise when fourth of ten on her debut over C&D (good) in June and when filling the same position at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month, but the return to 5f seemed to find her out at Wolverhampton (AW) nine days ago; nursery debut. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner on final 2yo start for previous yard; has achieved little in turf handicaps this term and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is likely; drops to Class 6. |
14/1 |
|
13th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt when winning a novice at Wolverhampton (6f) in October on his final start for Ralph Beckett, but he's struggled in three handicaps since joining this stable; others have stronger claims. |
25/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
6f AW novice winner last October for Ralph Beckett; a market check is advised but he's been beaten a long way in handicaps this spring on his first two starts for this yard. |
