18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 15 attempts; latest Thirsk fourth (6f, good to firm) as good as anything he's produced on the grass but may find at least the odd one too strong again. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 14 attempts; ran okay at York last month without suggesting he was the answer today. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on final outing; 0-13 on turf and never a factor on reappearance (66-1); others appeal more. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Beat his 17 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in April, his second run for David O'Meara, and there have been a couple of good second-place finishes since, including over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; a bold show is on the cards. |

2nd 4 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) in April on second stable start and second of 20 at York (6f, good) in May, before respectable fifth of 14 at Thirsk (6f, good); uncharacteristically below par at York three weeks ago but not written off in view of his previous exploits. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner on good to firm last year; bounced back to form to win over 6f on the Rowley course here (good) in May; a lesser effort over C&D has followed but a revival isn't ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner this time last year who bounced back to form off 6lb lower on the Rowley Mile five weeks ago; not been this high in the weights for a good while but having Jack Callan (second ride for the yard) take off 3lb will help and he's high on the shortlist. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Kempton (6f, AW) last month and second of 11 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) next time; this in-form 6yo is one to consider. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood. |
5/2 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and followed up when ridden by Chrstian Howarth over that same C&D 12 days ago, making all; he did it well last time and 9lb rise may not stop a bold bid for the hat-trick. |
10/11 |
|
1st 7 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning on good to firm over this C&D 19 days ago, beating seven rivals; back up 4lb but he's been placed off higher marks in the past and could go well. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Goes well on both Newmarket courses, including a win in this race on good to firm two years ago; good third over C&D last month but behind Yes I'm Mali when only sixth back here a fortnight ago. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
His last three wins have come off a similar mark to today's over 6f on the Newmarket courses and he returned to form with a close third here (7f, good) a fortnight ago; every chance he'll be in the mix. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 9 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Dual course winner who started the season high in the weights, having closed out last year with a victory on the Rowley Mile, and has struggled; does most racing these days over 6f and needs a revival. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up for the third time in five starts since joining John Butler when best of the rest behind the well-treated Ancient State (won next time) in 16-runner race over C&D (good) 29 days ago; same mark today. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four runs for John Butler, running well in three Class 5s but below par in a Class 3 in May; goes well at the Newmarket tracks and he holds each-way claims again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His losing run is gathering momentum and he has not won over 5f for three years; went close at Goodwood last month (5f, good) though and he should remain a potent force at this level. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; respectable efforts in 6f/7f handicaps for new yard this year and first-time cheekpieces won't need to give him too much extra having been eased a further 2lb. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; placed in two of his three runs for new yard this season but he was beaten almost 5l when third at Kempton last time; edging down the weights but he needs to find more back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (9) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
C&D win for Oliver Cole last October; he hasn't run badly two 6f handicaps for this yard but improvement is needed now returned to AW. |
10/1 |
