2nd 4 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has won three of his last four and doesn't win by far so might still be ahead of the game mark-wise; stays 1m6f well so this far shouldn't be an issue, nor the track as his win two weeks ago was here (1m4f). |

1st 8 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Running well since sent beyond 1m4f and he took those form figures to 2121 when landing small-field Hamilton handicap (1m5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; probably acts on softer than good and he can't be ignored in current mood, despite the drop back down in trip, for last year's winning yard. |

Running well since upped to 1m6f, recording form figures of 212 on his last three starts; no obvious reason he wouldn't go well again and he is travelling a long way for this assignment. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Redcar novice (1m2f, good to soft) in October when trained by Ralph Beckett; yet to match that level for this yard but did run well in a first-time tongue-tie at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) ten days ago, albeit aided by the run of things; unraced on ground quicker than good. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Left Ralph Beckett after 1m2f Redcar novice win (good to soft) in October; that form has not been reached in her six handicaps since but latest sixth of 17 at York (1m4f, good) was a fair effort from the widest stall one month ago; draw has been kinder today and she's edging down the weights; tongue-tie goes on. |
12/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Left Ralph Beckett after 1m2f Redcar novice win (good to soft) in October; that form has not been reached in her five handicaps since, most at 1m but never dangerous latest when back up to 1m4f at Thirsk; others preferred. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1-2 on the AW and 0-9 on turf, though in the frame seven times as when third of 15 in apprentice handicap over C&D (good) on his reappearance last month; a couple of those in behind have won since and he makes the shortlist. |
5/1 |

3rd 14 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November, his tenth start; not seen again since but has a favourable draw and could plausibly have untapped potential over middle distances on turf. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and has strung together a long line of minor honours this year; should be seriously involved. |
11/2 |

3rd 7 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and was a solid second over C&D in March; blew the start but ran respectably when fourth on turf at Chester a fortnight ago and he's handicapped to be competitive again. |
10/1 |

4th 10 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps at Southwell in late 2024 but he didn't match that form in three starts last year and left Archie Watson for 5,000gns in October; yard (also runs Shipshape) won this with a 33-1 shot last year and this one is likely to be a similar price. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual 1m4f winner here who ran poorly when last seen eight months ago (was withdrawn a week later, when found to be coughing, which may have had something to do with it); interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Consistent; won three on the bounce on AW over 1m4f in January/February; fair second at Beverley on Friday; stays 1m6f; each-way chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Did well on AW earlier in the year and he ran well back on turf when third of 12 over C&D (good to soft) in April; latest Chester run easy to excuse (Class 4) and this is far more suitable; respected, for all there is a slight question mark surrounding fast ground. |
5/1 |
|
6th 12 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick of 1m4f AW wins in January/February; has continued to run well since and he sported first-time cheekpieces when just held over that C&D 11 days ago; 2lb 'wrong' but acts on turf and likely to go well again. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Ayr (1m2f) last April in a light campaign in 2025; back from 12 months off with an encouraging Ripon fifth but beat only one at Chester (1m4f) since; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Ayr wearing cheekpieces in April and it wasn't a bad effort when fifth at Ripon (again 1m2f, good) 16 days ago; concerning that the run in between came over this C&D when beaten 24l and said not to have been suited by the track, however. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C&D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |
