1st 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2024; run down late in refitted cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f) in June, and finished third (one place behind Mr Lincoln) over C&D next time; fast ground a plausible excuse for a lesser effort latest; runner-up in this last year. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with a close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) this month, his second run this season, and remains well handicapped on some of last year's placed form; a possible. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Continued his progress when drawing clear at Chester (10.5f, good) last Sunday; this is more competitive under a 5lb penalty but Ryan Kavanagh claims 3lb and this one has an obvious chance of following up. |
13/8 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-French 4yo who has raced seven times for Ian Williams and encouragingly the best of those efforts was his latest when beaten half a length from the back at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft); back up 2lb; unraced on firmer than good; fair chance provided conditions don't hold him back. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Produced a career best when winning in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) six weeks ago; that form perhaps isn't the strongest on offer but he's open to further improvement off a 2lb higher mark. |
8/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort when third of 11 on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) last month; drop in trip may be no bad thing and cheekpieces are given a go; shortlisted. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Consistent since winning by a nose over 1m (good to firm; off 5lb lower) in May but lacked the pace to figure when third to a progressive winner over C&D 12 days ago; others appear better handicapped. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won over 1m here (good to firm) in May and she's finished runner-up at Hamilton (1m3f/8.3f) in her last two starts; continues to edge up the weights but she should go well again back up in trip. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May and she's twice gone close here since, over C&D and at 1m3f; features prominently in calculations. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1-12; fair third over 1m1f at Hamilton three starts back but lesser efforts at York (1m6f and 1m) since; still 3lb above his winning mark and best form is at up to 1m1f; others more appealing. |
20/1 |
|
10th 14 (16) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Upped markedly in trip here (1m6f) four weeks ago and predictably failed to stay; previous form (7f-1m1f) is solid enough but a wide draw could be difficult to overcome. |
28/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
7f winner at Thirsk (soft) in September and he was back in that sort of form when close third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; sire and damsire both influences for stamina but this marked step up in trip is still a little surprising. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hung left but took form to a new level when off the mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in June; patience has been needed in pursuit of similar ground but considered from 5lb higher; trainer won this last year. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-5 and hasn't progressed but ran respectably when third of six in Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) last Wednesday; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer); could have a part to play. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Showed ability in novice company but no immediate impact in handicaps when down the field at Hamilton (8.5f, good) 19 days ago; raced freely that day and will need to settle better over this longer trip. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; made a striking winning stable debut over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago; hit with a 10lb rise but that form has been boosted twice since; massively respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Second of nine at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, after which he was sold out of Harry Charlton's stable for 18,000gns; should have more to offer over this trip; interesting. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7 and his claims aren't compelling, but soft ground may not have suited this 3yo last time and there have been signs of promise previously; edging down the weights and things may click at some point. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Did well to finish third after stumbling at the start at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and has since run well over hurdles; no issue with track, trip or ground conditions and has possibilities for a trainer who has won this three times since 2021. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole win from 22 starts came at Cork in April 2023; went very close over hurdles here in March and was second of ten behind an improving filly at Ayr (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; can go well after 1lb nudge. |

0-10; runner-up in two of his last three races, failing to get a clear run when a close second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) two months ago; on a positive trajectory but with more required from 4lb higher. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear when third at Doncaster (good to soft) and second at Nottingham (good) this spring; enters the reckoning on that form and he may have had stamina issues over 1m4f in a Class 4 at York last time; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade. |

Game win at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in June, in first-time cheekpieces; not in the same form since though and stamina not conclusive over 1m2f; better candidates to be found elsewhere. |

6th 4 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won over 1m1f at Musselburgh (good) in June in first-time cheekpieces but soundly beaten in same headgear over C&D last week; needs to bounce back. |

7th 7 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two solid runs to begin his time with this yard and the addition of cheekpieces saw him win a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh three weeks ago; only 2lb higher and he should give it another good go. |

AW winner (8.5f) for David Loughnane; creditable third to Unchartedterritory at Carlisle (1m1f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) in June but he found little at Hamilton (1m3f) subsequently; stablemate Mr Lincoln looks to have a better chance. |
25/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A fair 8.5f winner for David Loughnane in 2025; little show first two runs for new yard but much better signs (in change of headgear) with third of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month; not out of things on his first go over this trip. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last October in first-time cheekpieces and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time blinkers today, but he's struggled on both runs this season and a major turnaround is necessary. |

Won twice for David O'Meara on Newcastle AW (1m2f) in 2024 but 0-12 on turf; out of sorts last year, and has failed to beat a rival in last two appearances, at Newcastle and Redcar; mark is in freefall but plenty to prove. |

Dual 1m2f course winner for David O'Meara in 2024; close 100-1 fourth here (again 1m2f) in March was a standout for this yard but otherwise it's been a struggle; has quite a bit to prove. |
