17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been over 6f on soft ground, the latest an apprentice handicap at Carlisle last week when coming from well off the pace (Pop Star fourth); unpenalised; any rain a bonus. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Shaped well and looked rather unlucky in two races at Thirsk in April; two attempts over this C&D (soft) comprise a second-place finish and success; likely player if bouncing back from below-par effort last time. |
7/2 |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner last autumn who's twice been unlucky in big-field Thirsk handicaps switched to cheekpieces this spring; better off with Juan Les Pins than on his comeback and enters calculations. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won for two years but made an encouraging return from his second wind op and a six-month layoff when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month; holds claims if he can back up that run. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has had wind surgery on two occasions, namely prior to reappearance success in 2024 (off 3lb higher) and prior to this 2026 seasonal debut; today may prove the time to catch him. |
16/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent this year but ran encouragingly over C&D returned to AW last time and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort; defied higher marks twice in this sphere in 2021. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has shown most of his form over 6f on ground softer than good; close third in big field over 5f at Doncaster in sole run this term; enters calculations off same mark back up in trip. |
9/2 |

3rd 10 (14) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has had only one run over 5f and it was in this race in 2024 when he finished a well-beaten 2-1 favourite; quiet in a light campaign in 2025; others look stronger. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well-backed when winning over 5f at Carlisle two runs back; not disgraced off this 5lb higher mark when fourth to Stirrup Cup over 6f (soft) on same track last week; a possible. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a run of duck eggs with 5f success at Carlisle (good) ten days ago and although back up 5lb he remains well treated on historical data, which includes 6f win off current mark (two years ago); respected. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown most of his handicap form over 7f, winning twice on AW; however, both 2026 efforts suggest this return to 6f is worth exploring; effective on turf and he's on a handy mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins on AW (6f to 1m) but the last of them was well over a year ago and she's mainly struggled since, including when beaten 5l over C&D (soft) four weeks ago; that was just her second run of this term, however, and there's a handicapping case to be made. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has done her winning on AW but ran well in last two turf attempts; however, brings a doubt over current form, having performed poorly in sole outing this year; upset in stalls and withdrawn last month (28-1 at the time). |
33/1 |
|
5 (1) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner who can miss the break and/or pull hard; does most racing now over further and didn't offer much on her comeback here last month without the usual hood (back on today). |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year; promising third at Ayr last month but she hasn't built on it in two subsequent outings; sneaking down the weights but others appeal more for win purposes. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who has dropped to 6f for last two starts; gradually back to form this season for new stable, close third over C&D (good to soft) most recently; possibilities off same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (13) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
High in weights when first handicapping, following a Beverley novice win (about 7f) as 2yo, but was down 10lb from her opening mark when a never-nearer sixth at Catterick (6f, good) last week on second run for yard; this stiff test looks sure to suit and she has a good run in her. |
