8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Did well to come from so far back and win at Carlisle (1m, good) last month and the race wasn't run to suit at Hamilton since; this could be a better fit for her and she's back in good form. |
13/2 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 in 1m handicap at Carlisle 12 days ago, getting up late to deny Inspired having been set a lot to do; bagged a remarkable seven successes (including here) last season so merits serious consideration now she's up and running this time around. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scorched through last summer, winning seven times at 6f-1m on a range of surfaces; back on last winning mark when close fourth here (7f, good to firm) on penultimate start and wasn't disgraced in big-field York handicap three weeks ago; cannot be ignored. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Consistent form since being gelded, gaining a deserved success in five-runner race at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; just 2lb higher and should go well again. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in December and has proved reliable without adding to his tally this season, a clear second of seven to Jannas Journey in 1m Carlisle handicap 12 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 2lb weights rise. |
15/8 |

2nd 4 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came when justifying short odds in 1m AW maiden in December but he's been running with credit in big-field turf handicaps this term, including when fifth of 20 at York (7f, good; Jannas Journey eighth, The Green Man behind) three weeks ago; likely to go well again. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Made the frame for the seventh consecutive time, albeit beaten 7l, when second of 14 at Redcar (1m, good to firm) a week ago; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |
15/2 |

Beaten under 1l when third of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has now made the frame six consecutive times; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days and has gone off the boil, finishing a remote last behind Physique at Beverley a few weeks ago; hard to recommend off the back of that. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f). |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Said to have run flat last time; tended to respond well to switches/removal of headgear in the past (back to cheekpieces from blinkers tonight) and won't mind coming back up from sprint trips, but Pontefract will need forgiving. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Seven wins include three on turf and it was a first success at 7f when scoring at Newcastle (AW; stays 1m) in December; took a good step forward from his return to turf when a keeping-on fourth at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; respected. |
6/1 |
|
4th 11 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
A three-time 6f/7f scorer in 2025; kept busy and in good form (on the AW) this term until only 16th in 7f York handicap eight days ago; he's the type to bounce back though. |
16/1 |
|
16th 18 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced almost exclusively on Newcastle's AW since joining Phil Kirby last autumn, winning three times (6f/7f) and placed on six other occasions, including last four starts; three 6f turf wins earlier in career (including here on good to firm) provide hope that he can continue the good work now back on the grass. |

3rd 4 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On dangerous mark but he's generally struggled this year except for a fair third in a Chester handicap (7.6f, good) last month; had tough task in a claimer last time but he's now 1-21 and others are more convincing |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Third in a C&D handicap last month but that's been about it since joining this stable; now visored and doesn't have obvious claims on these terms. |
