8th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored. |
6/1 |

9st 0lb |
AW maiden winner; 0-13 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, most recently third at Nottingham (5f, good) returned to turf; possibilities off same mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's inconsistent but he was back on song when winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) this month; he's just 2lb higher today and is a leading player if backing up that latest performance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Modest strike-rate since 2022 and his form thus far this term hasn't continued the broad consistency he showed in 2025; no certainty to take advantage of a reduced mark. |

8th 8 (10) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Confirmed his liking for Nottingham, where he won last autumn, when back-to-form second 12 days ago, again from the front; went close on Tapeta too around the turn of the year and enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win from ten starts but that was a dominant display in a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in October; mixed results in three subsequent runs but he went close at Wolverhampton in December and may have needed his reappearance run at Southwell in March; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back at this track. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Hasn't won for more than two years and not at his best on last two starts (fifth over C&D on good to soft last time); on a good mark, but a bit to prove. |
4/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Has something to prove back on turf but is a leading player provided AW form is transferred back to this sphere; runner-up off 10lb higher at Southwell (5f) most recently. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Course scorer who arrives in good nick, just edged out when fourth of six in 5f Newcastle handicap 19 days ago; can make his presence felt again. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (10) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
May have needed her Thirsk reappearance ten days ago, but just 1-28 and this is just her second attempt at 5f; others preferred. |

3rd 7 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers. |
9/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't won since 2023 and he beat one home when last seen out in October; one to watch after a break of 213 days. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins have been on the AW and she's yet to finish in the first three in four races on turf; pulled up after hitting the gates on her final start for David O'Meara and needs to take a step forward from last month's stable debut. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (12) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
4-21 when trained by David O'Meara, with all the wins gained over 5f on AW; absent since pulled up after early mishap in October and best watched on stable debut. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple wins, including over C&D; best turf form in 2026 came when involved in a tight finish on this track in April (good; has won on soft) and although some so-so efforts since, a recent Musselburgh second suggested he has a good run in him back here. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished behind Wee Mary when fifth of ten at Carlisle last week; best on good or slower ground so wouldn't be ideally suited by drying conditions. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent this year (form figures 22731); picked off the weakening pacesetter to score at Catterick (5f, good; 2-1 favourite) latest; slightly more required from this 3lb higher mark but does have a C&D win to his name; shortlisted. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-14) but has won three on AW at Wolverhampton (5f; marks between 55 and 71); had every chance, and no excuses when fourth of eight at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 2lb higher) a fortnight ago; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has done his winning on AW and, although he handles turf, it has been a while since he ran to form on the grass; drops in class today but others look safer. |
