21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-7 in Ireland but he's been a big improver this season and made it 2-3 for George Scott when completing a double at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was against two rivals but he won in decisive fashion and still looks feasibly treated off 5lb higher; strong contender in hat-trick bid. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, prevailing by 3l on his second stable start; kept on for close third over 1m3f on his stable debut and there can be optimism that 1m4f will be within range; strong claims up 7lb for last time. |
5/4 |

1st 2 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who still has low mileage; did well to finish 1l third at Kempton (1m3f, AW; came from difficult position) on stable debut and sole start this year; interesting off same mark on return from another break. |

2nd 2 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
She remains 5lb higher than for her last win last August but that's because she's been admirably consistent in defeat this year; runner-up at York (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday and she can be bang there. |
11/8 |

2nd 2 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Largely progressive sort in 2025 (when a two-time 1m2f winner) and she's continued on the up stepped up to 1m4f this season, finishing runner-up twice; the Ed Bethell team is in good form, so she should go well back from a seven-week break. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Largely progressive sort in 2025 (when a two-time 1m2f winner) and she's continued on the up stepped up to 1m4f this season, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when fourth of 15 at Chester 13 days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |

3rd 1 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m5f, good) who went very close at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; she was last of five here (1m5f, good) last Saturday but was beaten just under 2l having led at a steady pace, and she's not ruled out. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time winner (at up to 1m5f) in 2025; easily best run this season when a clear second of six in 1m4f handicap at Ripon 24 days ago; a likely player despite taking a 2lb rise here. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins over 1m-1m5f last January-August, the first three on the AW and the last on good ground; still looks feasibly treated but she hasn't really fired in three runs this year and needs to rediscover her spark. |
7/1 |
