11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained a breakthrough success on his yard debut (formerly with Ivan Furtado) in 7.5f handicap at Chester last month; needs to back it up dropped to 6f here off a 4lb higher mark. |

2nd 4 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark when winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in May and followed up over this C&D next time (good); has posted two good placed efforts since, the most recent at Chester (7.5f, soft) last month off a 2lb lower mark than today's, and makes the shortlist. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced, he landed a quickfire double at Southwell and Thirsk over 1m last month and was beaten 2l when third of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago; there may be more to come and he should not be far away. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Chased home the bang-in-form Aisling Oscar over C&D in December, and he's 2-2 since returning from a break, winning at Southwell and Thirsk (both 1m); has risen a combined total of 10lb (3lb since latest) for those two wins, but he has to figure on the shortlist in pursuit of the hat-trick. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who is yet to score but has shown ability across his six starts; latest third of 11 at Chester (7.5f, soft; acts on quicker) was a respectable effort and it's impossible to say he's not capable of better. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Faded into 3l fifth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham in April and this headstrong sort also looked stretched by 1m at Thirsk last time; the return to shorter looks the right move for this lightly raced 4yo, who is a possible player. |

Scored over C&D in December but all of his other wins have came on turf; exposed and others may have more in their lockers. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His five wins include two here, the second over this trip on fast ground in May 2024; versatile, though, for his latest win was over 1m1f at Goodwood last month (good to soft) and last run was when fourth over 7.5f here (soft); chance back up in trip. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner over 7f at this track, the latest (good to soft) in May; has one good run against his name over this far, but on balance shorter trips seem to suit him best and he may also prefer slower ground. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Landed his third win at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month and ran up to that form when runner-up back there (soft) six days ago; still on a workable mark and holds claims. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (2) |

Gained a second C&D victory when getting up late in 11-runner handicap last month; up 2lb but that form is working out well so he must enter calculations. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Ties in with some of today's rivals on recent C&D form but is still seeking a first success at this trip; has gained all Beverley wins over the extended 1m. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
A four-time scorer over 8.5f here (including twice in May); recorded another very good effort with second of six to Tattie Bogle over C&D 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced gelding who hasn't progressed from his 5f 2yo success, including in three outings between 7f and 1m for Ian Williams this year; this is a drop in grade but would need to see market support to consider. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced gelding who hasn't progressed from his 5f 2yo success, latterly in two races at about 7f this season for new yard; enough to prove upped further in trip. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (10) |

Early-season 5f winner as a 2yo when trained by David Evans; unplaced in two handicap runs last summer; beaten 10l on stable debut at Yarmouth last month; best watched. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four AW wins on Polytrack, the latest more than four years ago, and he's likely to need more than a respectable sixth at Newcastle in May, when having a rare run on Tapeta, and also on his Chester form since; headgear returns for the first time since last July. |
20/1 |
|
8th 2 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has a win over C&D but that was over four years ago; hasn't backed up an encouraging third at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March in two runs since but has dropped to a career-low mark so all is not lost. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time Polytrack winner who ran well below market expectations in two previous starts on Tapeta; back on his last successful mark but didn't build on a decent comeback effort last time. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Latest Nottingham third in this headgear was a bit better and he'll be a threat to all if recapturing the form he showed when a close second over C&D (good to firm) off 2lb higher in April, particularly with Jack Callan taking an additional 3lb off. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last year, the most recent coming at Ripon (1m2f, good) off a 4lb higher mark than today's; went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been below his best in two starts since; tongue-tie is added to cheekpieces. |
9/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who followed up a neck second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April with a mediocre effort when eighth of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) last month; cannot discount but needs to put his best foot forward. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won since his debut in February last year when trained by Karl Burke; went close when beaten a nose at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and if he can reproduce that effort on turf then he would be a player. |

|
9th 3 (8) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his debut success (for Karl Burke) but he went desperately close at Chelmsford last month, running on well at the finish; handicap mark left unchanged and he needs serious consideration. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Started handicap life for Karl Burke last summer on an unrealistic mark and struggled prior to being picked up for just 2,000gns in the autumn; finding his level now for his current yard and it wouldn't shock were he to pop up here, dropped another 3lb. |

Can miss the break but she won this race last year off 10lb lower and swiftly got over a Chester aberration when second of 11 here (1m, good to firm) under Arron D'Arcy four weeks ago; a player. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three turf wins include a 20-1 7f success when tongue tied here (good) last July; posted a cracking return from a break when 33-1 and second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went pear-shaped at Chester last Friday; has won at 1m before but last year's efforts over this trip weren't overly convincing. |
16/1 |
|
11th 10 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
3-15 on turf; beaten 1l in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) when last seen in April; would hold claims if she can build on that effort. |
