11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Most recent win came over this trip at Chepstow in May on final run for Thomas Faulkner; not disgraced over 6f twice since and looks ready for a return to 7f; gets that here and should be thereabouts. |
14/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Turned things around when scoring back on turf at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) for Thomas Faulkner last month; remains feasibly treated on that form and he made a solid start for new yard when fourth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good) ten days ago; in the mix. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has gained both wins over 6f, including narrowly at Carlisle (good to firm) last time; back up only 3lb he may remain competitive, provided this drop to 5f proves no issue; opening mark was 13lb higher. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

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. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won his first race since September 2024 when scoring at Chester last time (7f, good; third run in cheekpieces, runner-up third there the next day); up 3lb; goes well on fast ground; a possible. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-11 but she has performed with credit in each of her four 6f runs since undergoing wind surgery last November; close third off this mark at Hamilton last week; drops to 5f for the first time, with cheekpieces enlisted; each-way shout. |
14/1 |

Ex-Hugo Palmer; ten-race maiden; has finished fourth over 6f on three of her four runs this term (good/good to firm/AW), latest a fillies' handicap at Newcastle. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair and consistent for Ray Craggs in 2024; off 20 months before coming in last of nine, on sole outing for David Thompson, over 6f here last month; has rejoined his former yard with lots to find. |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
All six wins over 5f; also second over 5f here (good) in August of 2024 but hasn't been seen since a poor run at Beverley later that month; previously trained by his owner; can only really watch after such a long time off. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 but she responded well to the tongue-tie when beaten 2l into second of 11 behind Mayo County over C&D (good to firm) last month; 5lb better off with the winner and a player. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed signs of promise in 2024 and fair third at Doncaster on first run last year (7f, good to firm) but was tailed off in that race on return to action last month following wind surgery (7f, good to firm); tongue-tie now tried; others preferred. |

Eight-time winner, the latest over C&D (good to soft) 14 months ago off a 5lb higher mark; capable at this level but slower ground would have been preferable. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (4) |

Won over C&D in May last year (good to soft); beaten 7l when third at Ripon last week (6f, good); these are his ideal conditions and should go well. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner, who was beaten by a short-head on only other visit (6f) to Newcastle; won off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last October, but his last two efforts were low key - last of nine at Goodwood latest; first-time headgear needs to have a reviving effect. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The winner of two 7f handicaps on the AW and has shown he can threaten off this mark; last run was disappointing but could bounce back, and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner who made an encouraging reappearance at Thirsk in April; hasn't built on it, but this drop to 5f (for just the third time in a long career) is an interesting move and the fitting of a tongue-strap might help too; well drawn on the rail. |
9/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who made an encouraging seasonal debut in higher-grade contest at Thirsk (6f good; visored) in April; not in same form on either start since (blinkers refitted last time) but has slipped to a tempting mark. |
12/1 |
