1st 5 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Had some fair form for Richard Hannon last season; running creditably for current stable without really threatening; now drops into a Class 6 and he is one to note for market confidence. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A fair 6f winner for Richard Hannon in 2025; yet to reach that form in five runs for Sam England though, again slowly into his stride when eighth of ten in 6f handicap at Pontefract 12 days ago; others are preferred. |

On a very long losing run and he came in last of eight in 5f Ripon handicap 19 days ago; others are preferred. |

8th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Only fifth in a field of six last week at Nottingham, but was close up behind Spirit Of Applause and that represented some return to form. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner who returned to form when third at Ripon (5f, good) in May and is 5lb lower today; however, this 7yo has struggled on both starts since and has something to prove. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of 12 of his 92 starts, the latest success coming at Chelmsford in October off 1lb higher; several good runs to his name this time around and Billy Loughnane replaces a 7lb claimer today; one to take seriously. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Losing run up to 13 and he finished over 4l behind Sonic Si when fifth of seven at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) on Monday; 1-1 here but he needs to do better than that latest effort. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Successful at Beverley (5f, good) last month and ever better efforts when runner-up twice at Pontefract (both 5f, good) since; dual C&D winner last year so no reason why his run of good form won't continue. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1lb below his previous winning mark when successful at Beverley (5f, good) last month before dead-heating for second with Betweenthesticks behind Hover On The Wind over C&D eight days ago; enjoyed anything but a clear run then and he may emerge best of the trio this time granted more luck. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Dual winner over 5f, the most recent coming at Redcar in April on good to firm; below his best in two starts since but has an each-way chance. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm; beating Zuffolo and Kyber Crystal, from 5lb lower) on penultimate start but wasn't in the same form at Hamilton subsequently, possibly inconvenienced by the draw; won on soft last year, so unlikely to mind whatever the weather does. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last August (good; has won on soft); has often run well or won following a break and he did so again when involved in a close finish at Thirsk last week on first run since October; weighted to find another race and likely to be involved. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 4 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Nottingham (5f, good; 3-1 favourite; from 2lb lower) last August, posting his seventh win; disappointing on soft at Pontefract next time, and curled up late when last in action at Southwell (5f; fourth) 217 days ago; positively drawn for one who likes to attack. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Scored off today's mark over 5f on Tapeta in November and is also suited by fast turf but returned from four-month break with disappointing 6f run 19 days ago and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f, good) in May, but he hasn't proved very consistent so far this year so not quite sure what to expect. |
16/1 |
|
9th 2 (3) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed winning ways at Beverley (5f) in May but failed to beat a rival in ten-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f) 18 days ago; this course scorer has a bit to prove now. |

5f Southwell winner in April, but last of 12 at Hamilton on latest start (5f, good); bit to prove. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Arrived late to win at Southwell (5f) and only faded late on at Doncaster last week (good to firm); remains in form and she is proven on a stiff 5f. |
