20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Saw off 11 rivals when scoring at Musselburgh (5f, good; Class 4) in April; found out in much stronger company since but has dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Musselburgh now back in slightly calmer waters; enters calculations. |

Saw off 11 rivals when scoring at Musselburgh in April (5f, good; Class 4) but he has had his limitations exposed in stronger company twice since; beaten only 3l at York two weeks ago but others are more appealing in today's field. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won big-field 5f handicaps at York and Goodwood last July; two solid efforts in defeat this season and he won on his only visit to Epsom, albeit over 7f; not impossibly treated but he wouldn't want the ground to be any slower than good. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won big-field handicaps over C&D (good to firm) and at Goodwood (5f, good) last July, and this 9yo returned from wind surgery with a back-to-form, neck second at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; Harry Vigors removes a valuable 7lb and this prominent-racer could be bang there once more. |

9st 12lb |
Three previous wins had come on the AW (5f) but he was a revelation at Newmarket eight days ago when hammering a big field over 6f; that may well have been down to the first-time eyeshield and he now has to back it up off an 8lb higher mark. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Progressed well once handicapping as a 4yo and kicked on again last season, landing a hat-trick in late summer, latterly here off 2lb higher; not at her best in the spring but this is her time of year and she offered more latest; respected. |
9/4 |

Got on a roll in the second half of 2025, completing a quick hat-trick when landing the Portland Handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good) in September; yet to get going this year and drop in class isn't enough to tempt. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Running well in defeat this season prior to narrow win in a big field at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; caught wide at Chester (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago when a respectable sixth of 12; could have a big say. |
15/2 |

Yet to run a bad race after six starts this season, and kept on for last-gasp success in 17-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, good) a fortnight ago; also suited by this C&D and slow ground; stall 9 makes things awkward, though. |

Six-time AW winner but he's 0-14 on turf and was only seventh of 17 back in this sphere at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; one of three runners for Mick Appleby and he has work to do back up in grade. |

9st 5lb |
Some good efforts for her new yard this year prior to snapping a losing sequence with a win at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; that may have given her confidence a boost and she's respected back up 4lb. |

1st 2 (4) |

On a losing run but she comes here in decent nick for her current yard, third of seven at Nottingham (5f) 16 days ago; needs considering on a 2lb lower mark here. |

25-1 winner of a division of this race 12 months ago; arrives in form following a success at Southwell and a creditable fourth of eight at Ripon; should be in the thick of things again. |

Placed three times on AW over the winter before resuming winning ways over 5f at Southwell 18 days ago; hasn't been successful above a mark of 76 so a career best will be needed if he's to follow up. |

Placed a few times this season, including when favourite at Catterick last time; back up in grade but he's 3lb below last winning mark and seems to have a fighting chance. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Promise for Adrian Nicholls and plenty to spare when making all in a 5f handicap at Catterick on stable debut; bettered that form when neck second (Yellow Diamond 4l behind in fourth) of 13 at York (5f, good) 13 days ago, keeping on well despite losing his left cheekpiece approaching the final furlong; raised another 5lb but the third, Schrodinger's Cat, won easily at Redcar on Saturday; should have a big say on AW debut. |
