29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden who turned in a solid handicap debut in the spring before being drawn wide down to 7f at York; touch disappointing last time but this is less competitive back up in trip. |

Lightly raced maiden who finished second at Kempton (7f, AW) and Nottingham (8.3f, good; handicap debut) on his first two runs this year; midfield finish at York three weeks ago; respected back down in class. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |

9st 9lb |
Returned from a wind operation in December with a C&D success in February; scored over 1m at Southwell in April too when just 2lb lower; not so good on his next three starts but this is an ease in grade and he can't be discounted. |
7/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been between 6f-8.5f on AW; has been below his best at York on last two starts and was reported to have run flat last time; drops back to a more suitable trip but he's still 4lb higher than for his last success; may be best watched until he returns to AW. |
6/1 |
|
13th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Thoroughly exposed 5yo who was in fair form until here last time when never involved from off the pace; has never won off this high a mark but what does bode well is that his last three wins have come in amateur races under Henry Callan who is back aboard for the first time since his last win in April; the cheekpieces also return after going in a new hood last time. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won a nursery off 4lb higher in 2024; below that level when confined to only three appearances last year and while his reappearance wasn't devoid of promise, his run at Newmarket was; goes beyond 1m2f for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored on his AW/nursery debut in 2024 but wasn't competitive in just three starts last year; did gain plenty of market traction on the last of them, though, and last month's reappearance at Bath wasn't totally devoid of promise; tries 1m2f for just the second time and he's not fully exposed. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made debut last July and there was promise among his three novice starts, but he's finished down the field this year in his first two handicaps (1m/7f, good to firm); needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |
|
11th 15 (15) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Best effort from four starts was on debut (7f, good); beaten 9l in a Windsor maiden handicap (1m, good to firm) when last seen; has since had wind surgery; probably best watched unless market vibes are strong. |

C&D win in March (second past the post) came off this mark and was the last occasion Rossa Ryan rode him (record for the jockey an impressive 113121); another big run on the cards. |
4/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wildly inconsistent these days but boasts a decent record round here (five wins from 19 starts); back around the mark off which he won here in March (awarded the race) and he is quite capable of bouncing back from two poor efforts on turf. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the most reliable and winless since March 2024 for Gemma Tutty; hinted at a revival though on just second run for his new yard with fourth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Goodwood last month; not without interest off a tumbling mark with Oisin Murphy up for the first time. |

4th 6 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |

Lost his way last autumn and, after changing hands for 9,000gns, he was out the back on stable debut at Bath (1m, good; fine on soft); potentially well handicapped but has enough to prove. |

A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, slowly away when sixth of eight in 1m2f Pontefract handicap last month; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |

8th 6 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Kept busy and largely in good form without winning on the AW this season; beat one back on turf in 1m1f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago though so has a bit to prove. |

Betting Forcast
3/1 Pulsar Star, 6/1 Kaaranah, 12/1 American State, 7/1 No Knee Never, 16/1 Caledonian, 16/1 Symphony Of Joy, 12/1 Eagle Day, 20/1 Dark Rosa, 20/1 Imola, 6/1 Look Back Smiling, 4/1 Bellasio, 16/1 Distinction, 25/1 Concert Boy
Verdict
John Butler has enjoyed a fine time of things lately and KAARANAH (nap) is tipped to overcome a 3lb rise and a wide draw to make it four from four over C&D. Dark Rosa, who’s currently 1-1 on Tapeta having won here last autumn off the same mark, is another with claims in a competitive handicap.[Graham Wheldon]
