4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle scorer and has collected three Flat wins this spring (1m6f-2m1f); turned over at very short odds at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) 16 days ago but the emphasis in that three-runner race was more on speed than ideal for a mare who has won over just short of 3m over timber; can show she's still on a good mark back at 2m+. |

2nd 1 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Unexposed on the Flat and she made it 3-3 in turf handicaps with an easy Pontefract (2m1f, good) win ten days ago; a slow start there meant she couldn't dominate as she had at Salisbury and Catterick beforehand; 4lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but ran quite well when fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March and her subsequent 2m5f Flat win makes her of strong interest over this new trip. |

2nd 7 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Won by 5.5l over the extended 2m5f here before getting outpaced in a sprint finish back over 2m at Newcastle; remains in good form and entitled to feature. |

Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Done a lot of his winning later in the year but offered more in the returning blinkers last time, back from a couple of months off; boasts a decent record when dipping below 0-70 company and won't mind any rain. |

3rd 1 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Was 2-3 on the AW until disappointing at Kempton two months ago but he had been running well in the blinkers (reapplied) and he's a three-time turf winner on a competitive mark. |

9st 1lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, AW) in March and went close over that C&D last month but was well held when fourth behind Laravie at Pontefract (2m1f, good) 11 days ago and still needs to prove himself on turf. |
33/1 |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Kept on well to finish ahead of Lady Phoebe at Newcastle (2m) but he's inconsistent and has yet to prove himself on turf. |
12/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time. |

7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Should be well handicapped and has run well in defeat with cheekpieces added (joining regular tongue-tie) in last two races, behind Laravie in the penultimate one; surprising to see the blinkers back on. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |

Solid effort when second of eight at Catterick ten days ago (2m, good; first run in this combination of accessories); should remain competitive. |

2nd 2 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
The odd sign of spark last season and he may have needed his recent comeback run; down to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has been regressive and is winless since July 2024; cheekpieces return for first time since last May. |

8st 10lb |
Just behind Balgowan from the front at Lingfield (turf) six weeks ago before giving herself no chance of seeing it out last time (testing 2m1f) thanks to pulling too hard; may well get her own way if that's the plan and should fare better. |
6/1 |

7th 11 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Lightly raced and first run at 2m when beaten a shade under 6l at Lingfield (good), though could have been flattered from the front; others have more concrete claims. |

3rd 11 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Lightly raced maiden who hasn't achieved much in two runs back this year, latterly when a remote fourth of five back on turf. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m6f/2m handicaps on yielding when trained in Ireland; added two more on the AW for this yard before an underwhelming run at Carlisle where perhaps the ground was too soft; he's another with each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gradually found his feet on AW for new yard since returning from lengthy absence and gained neck wins at Southwell (2m) the last twice; at the top of his game and he was effective on turf in Ireland. |

1st 1 (7) |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; started off for Mike Sowersby with three good runs in the autumn (all 2m, Tapeta) but form has dipped recently and he's out of the weights in this higher-grade race; needs help from the new cheeekpieces. |

Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round. |

4th 5 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking. |

10th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won three times (once from rear, twice making all) at up to 2m last term on the Flat for Paddy Butler; remote this year in his two hurdle races (three-runner race last time) but he was a fair third over C&D (a head behind No More Bolero) in between and peak form gives him a good shout. |
