1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in two big-field 6f Thirsk handicaps (both on good) this season and did well to finish fifth at Redcar in between, having lost significant ground at the start; still on workable mark; probably in the mix again. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well on her stable debut at Wolverhampton last October but only run to that level once from four starts this year; returns to sprinting with the tongue-tie discarded; dangerous mark but others appeal more. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Registered sole success on fast ground; has rather inconsistent form for current yard; brings doubts over the forecast surface and whether she'll be in top form. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden but he's been shaping quite well in recent starts, including when fourth of 18 here last time over 6f, doing best of those drawn low; looks worth another try over this longer trip. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Failed to progress for Hugo Palmer but his two turf runs for this yard in May were both encouraging; edging down the weights and he should appreciate a strong pace at this trip. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice last July, including when beating 17 rivals in the corresponding race (good ground; 2lb lower today); arrived in better form last year but she can't be discounted. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to strike form after two 5f runs this season; now 2lb lower than for the second of last summer's two 6f wins, though, and it probably won't be much longer before she gets back in the groove. |

2nd 13 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
26-race maiden but did remarkably well to snatch second behind Big Time Rascal over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday, when breaking awkwardly and pulling hard; clearly not the most straightforward and another change of headgear is tried but should go close if he gets the breaks. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame in four of his last six starts and drops to this level for the first time, but a record of 0-25 raises doubts even in this company; visor given a go this time. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
3lb lower than when winning at Catterick in April (5f, good); mainly disappointing since, although was only 2l behind Barmyblade (5lb worse off) when third at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm); well drawn and a possible. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (16) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner last summer; landed a 5f handicap at Catterick off a 2lb higher mark in April but he hasn't come close to replicating it in six runs since; capable if breaking on terms but he carries some risk. |

Belied 33-1 odds when fourth at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2lb lower than for last summer's win at Redcar (7f, good to soft) but her overall profile remains unconvincing. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed and frustrating maiden for Amanda Perrett but regularly ran well in stronger races than this; promising stable debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last week, keeping on for a close third; one of the likelier types. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (7) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
24-race maiden, absent since three midfield finishes on Lingfield Polytrack (5f-6f) for Amanda Perrett in December; changed hands for 10,000gns in January; makes stable debut from workable mark. |

Scored at 80-1 to land a classified contest over C&D last July but ran poorly in handicaps subsequently; makes his first appearance of the year but hard to fancy. |

80-1 for a classified at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in July and made all; big majority of his performances, however, make him very hard to fancy. |
50/1 |
