30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner with form on all sorts of surfaces; in good heart until finishing nowhere in a Class 2 handicap at last week's Ebor meeting and that's readily forgiven. |

12th 15 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Won the Queen Mother's Cup for female amateur jockeys here (1m4f, good) in June; not beaten far when fourth of five at Hamilton (1m5f, good) since but there's a suspicion that this will prove too competitive. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
On a long losing run and never a threat here two weeks ago, but he'd previously been beaten just a nose in the Queen Mother's Cup over C&D in June; none too reliable but a danger to all if he's on a going day. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 17 races to March 2025; however, he went down by only a nose over C&D (good) last month and was caught too far back in a Class 2 at Ayr since; bold show likely with his sights lowered. |
6/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 16 races to March 2025; however, he's been second on three of his last four starts, most recently at York (1m4f, good) last Saturday; slow ground is probably fine; each-way chance. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
2-5 since joining this yard, winning at Pontefract (2m2f, good; first-time visor) in June and over hurdles at Cartmel a fortnight ago; clearly in good heart, but this may not be far enough for him now. |
6/1 |

1st 5 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won a juvenile hurdle for Gavin Cromwell at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in October and was also on target in 2m2f Flat marathon for new stable in June; still unexposed over jumps; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sole run on good to firm was last July when tailed off in a novice race; staying-on third here (1m4f) this June and he knuckled down well to score over 2m2f at Pontefract (also on good) eight days later; that win was the first time he'd worn this headgear combination and his first go at a staying trip on the Flat; up 4lb but probably has more to offer and he's a big player if he goes on the ground. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 7f maiden here last year and added a 1m2f Salisbury handicap in May (good; off this mark); up and down in the meantime but hard to dismiss with Harry Vigors claiming his 5lb. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won Epsom maiden in nine-race juvenile campaign and she was back on the scoresheet when taking Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good) in May; hasn't matched that since and has stamina to prove on this second crack at 1m4f. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Second off this mark to a useful prospect last time and that was better, having run Flat at Chester and then over-raced and not seen out 1m4f at York; had plenty of racing this last year and this, however, and remains vulnerable to improvers. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins (6f-8.5f) but yet to register (0-16) on turf; placed at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) in mid July but less competitive at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Beverley (1m2f) since; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins on the AW and 0-15 on turf, though has been running well at 1m-1m2f on grass this year without getting the job done; does have to bounce back from a poor one, however. |
6/1 |
|
10th 4 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Held off his revised mark on turf since two AW wins, including here, in April; wins have all come over shorter but he stays this far and is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race comfortably in first-time blinkers a year ago and looked back in prime form when keeping on well to beat Sixpack here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher today; has another big role to play. |
100/30 |

Gained his most recent win here (1m6f) last August off 2lb lower in first-time blinkers; with creditable shows in two of his three starts this season, he is firmly in calculations. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
He's edged down the weights for his new yard this season and has been placed off this mark on his last two starts, finishing third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) then beaten just a neck at Hamilton (1m5f, good); back up in grade this afternoon but he might not be far away. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f winner for Ralph Beckett in 2025; has steadily found his form for his current yard this season, posting a good third of eight in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster eight days ago; firmly in the picture stepping back up in trip. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Awarded C&D Queen Mother's Cup last June and much lower in the weights now, but that's because his form has fallen off a cliff; dangerous if blinkers (replacing other headgear) spark a revival but carries clear risks. |
40/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Awarded this race last year when also ridden by Becky Smith, and 6lb lower this time around; can't be totally written off but he's gone the wrong way over the last 12 months and was well beaten at 100-1 here last month. |
5/1 |
|
15th 8 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Promoted to first in 1m4f handicap here (good to firm) last June and he races off 2lb lower today; however, he wasn't at his best last year on his final few runs for Edward Bethell, and failed to threaten over hurdles in the winter on his first two starts for this yard; may be best watched. |
