1st 4 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each run as a 3yo, getting off the mark in a C&D maiden last October (good ground); couldn't land a blow on his seasonal/handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, but still has potential and blinkers could help unlock it. |
3/1 |
|
7th 2 (12) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made debut last September and improved with each of his first three runs, winning at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in October when last seen; Newmarket trainer Roger Varian has a very healthy 29% strike-rate here and this well-bred 4yo has considerable potential off his opening mark. |
2/1 |

7 (3) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
900,000gns yearling with top-notch pedigree; not much went right when midfield on debut at Windsor (1m, good) last month and he was beaten just a head at Lingfield (1m, AW) next time, when still looking inexperienced; there's a good chance he has more to offer and he's firmly in calculations. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Two solid runner-up efforts in 2026 and he won't mind what the weather does; sneaking up the weights but no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good go. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row last May/June (8.3f/1m1f, good/soft) and beaten just a head on this month's reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); this front-runner has a progressive profile and is one to consider today. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces (added to tongue-tie) when edging ahead late on over C&D (good) four weeks ago; not the most convincing (carries head awkwardly under pressure) but he's only been nudged up 2lb. |
9/4 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Expensive to follow since picked up from Charles Hills (turned over three times as favourite this year) and is tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore a hood at Yarmouth in the spring); a good test over a stiff 7f is fine but he doesn't always convince. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win to his name after 14 starts but he has performed with credit in four runs for his new stable, including second-place finishes at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Doncaster (7f good to soft); hood experiment quickly aborted; should go well again. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
She has looked an improved performer this year, winning at Beverley on her reappearance (8.5f, good to soft) and adding a C&D fillies' handicap last month (good to soft); up in class and now taking on male opposition but she shouldn't be underestimated. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (12) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
In good form dropped back to about 1m this term, winning at Beverley then creditable fourth at Southwell (AW); still unexposed over this sort of trip; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
4th 1 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Having dropped back down to her last winning mark she's scored on her reappearance at Beverley (8.4f, turf) a fortnight ago; strong claims back up 3lb provided the return to Tapeta isn't an issue. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing sequence and he was a below-par fifth of nine in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; others are preferred. |
33/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Last five wins have come on the AW including when completing a hat-trick in the spring; has winning form on good to firm ground, but his last two efforts since returning to turf need improving upon. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him. |
20/1 |
|
10th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Scored off current mark on reappearance (1m2f, AW; in February) but hasn't been in the same form since, latterly back on turf, disappointing favourite returned to 1m most recently. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground 1m hat-trick last spring; better than ever when landing a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle on his seasonal return in February; no further progress and he drops back to 1m on a recovery mission; today's drop in grade will suit. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Twice held off 1lb higher since making a successful return from eight months off at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February, including when behind two of these in the Rosebery; needs a resurgence and could probably do without the ground easing. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A two-time 7f scorer last September; posted a good third at Haydock (7f) in May but beat just one in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All wins over 7f, but he did run well over C&D in June 2023 and was staying on at the finish at Haydock (7f, good) last month; significant rainfall would aid his claims. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Down the field on his reappearance at Thirsk three weeks ago but last summer's form brings him right into the reckoning and he could take a step forward today. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two AW wins for former stable; latest turf run is not the race to judge him on but, even so, he comes here with plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two AW wins for the Crisfords but much more to prove on turf; absent since a midfield finish on his stable debut in December; enough to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6 (4) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two AW wins this spring but he's been muted since in his three turf races; off four months before latest and now has headgear first time. |
