21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins and a second from three visits to Nottingham, all over this trip on fast ground; 1lb higher than for his latest second; one to take seriously. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May and finished close-up in sixth there 18 days ago; remains feasibly treated on his win in this race last year and he's 2-2 at Nottingham; interesting contender. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Unplaced in six runs for David O'Meara, but he's tumbling down the weights and he showed more at York (6f, good to firm; visored first time) ten days ago; this is a drop in class and something bigger is brewing. |
9/4 |

5th 11 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thrown in on last season's best; yet to get going for David O'Meara this time around but he has dropped 10lb for his troubles and the addition of a visor could help; stable also runs Yes I'm Mali. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Gave impression something was possibly amiss last time, taking record for new yard to 0-4; interesting on best form, which includes a win over C&D and close second to Photosynthesis at Newmarket. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Second to Jenever over C&D last October but held by that rival at the revised weights; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he's capable of a prominent showing. |
5/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
First crack at shy of 6f when well held at Brighton (5.3f) last time; still only has a Tapeta maiden win to his name and has had his moments at the stalls; another furlong would have looked optimal round here. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
His sole success from 12 attempts came in a small-field 6f AW maiden last March; plenty of solid runs in handicaps (turf and AW) since and belatedly dropping to 5f, albeit an extended one, could give him a lift. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple sprint winner, the latest off a 3lb higher mark last October (6f, good to soft); not at his best so far this year and 7f is a query. |
20/1 |
|
7th 17 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Newmarket novice (6f, good) last May, his third start, but beaten 11 times since including all four runs for John Butler; his penultimate second at Thirsk was a good run though and when down the field at York last time it was a Class 4; not out of it. |
7/1 |

9th 13 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Didn't really build on a good start for Richard Hannon and he took a couple of goes to warm up for this yard; much better last time, however, when second of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago; now he needs to kick on from that. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came for Richard Hannon at Newmarket (6f, good) last May; struggled on his last few starts for that stable and he's not threatened in his two outings since joining this yard; dropped another 3lb. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |
6/1 |
