3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
1m4f wins at Doncaster (good) and here (good to firm) for new yard this summer; he has come up short in stronger company on his last two starts but holds good claims back in a Class 6. |
9/4 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
2-6 for this yard but both wins were at 1m4f at Class 6 level; looks worth taking on, for all that his last race on the AW didn't go entirely to plan. |

10st 8lb

Has made a bright start for his current yard and made it two wins from his last three runs in 1m4f handicap at Beverley two days ago; also took this in 2024, so he's a player under a 4lb penalty. |

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. |

2nd 5 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick of wins in January/February, the third off 2lb lower over C&D; has continued in good form and is 2lb better off having been beaten 0.5l by Rubellite at Wolverhampton last time; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two AW wins in France but little to celebrate in Britain; two AW runs last autumn were respectable but nothing comparable this year; the new headgear needs to prove transformative. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win for this trainer (0-16), in rear throughout on last visit to this track (1m2f) in May; subsequent Newcastle effort no better; stablemate of Yurinov; far better to focus elsewhere. |
50/1 |

8th 7 (6) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Two good C&D runs off higher marks in September/October last year, but disappointing since, including back on turf at Ripon last time. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins in 2025, two on the AW (1m4f) and once over hurdles; banging at the door on turf this summer, second over C&D ten days ago when not enjoying a clear run; another good run seems likely. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh in November; did his best work late when runner-up at Redcar (1m6f, good) last month but he's lacked the pace to challenge in two starts since over this trip; visor goes back on for cheekpieces. |
3/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh last November; did his best work late when runner-up at Redcar (1m6f, good) on penultimate start; slightly below that level when third (beaten 5l) over this trip at Beverley subsequently. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
1m3f win at Carlisle (good to firm) last summer; began his 2026 campaign with two solid efforts but his form dipped at Carlisle 24 days ago (Class 5; sent off favourite); has to enter calculations at this modest level. |
11/4 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner last August (good to firm) who was subsequently runner-up at Hamilton (1m4f, soft); two fair runs this time, latest over C&D; chance. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) last August and this lightly raced 4yo reappeared with a respectable third at Hamilton (1m3f, good) this month behind comfortable winner Alpine Sierra, who followed up; he's 11lb better off with his old rival this afternoon and could build on that latest effort. |
