8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well to score at Pontefract (1m, good) last month and is now 2-7; 5lb higher in a more competitive race here might still have more to offer. |
9/2 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has run to a similar level in three turf handicaps since winning a Southwell novice (1m, AW) in March; still unexposed and again holds each-way claims at least. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |

Scored on his AW debut at Southwell (1m) in March; has progressed since, finishing runner-up in handicaps at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) and Hamilton (8.5f, good), latterly in first-time cheekpieces (retained); still improving and has good claims. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten under 1l when third of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has now made the frame six consecutive times; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 16 (17) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Just three wins but has been second or third 17 times, including on his last four starts; stall 17 could be tricky. |
18/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in June 2024; placed in each of his last four starts, albeit he was below his best last time, and once again has an each-way chance. |

9st 9lb |
Just a respectable fourth of seven over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but that run came after a short break and he's now well handicapped if judged on some of this spring's form; worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Signed off for 2025 at Newmarket (7f) in November and in good nick this season until coming in last of six over C&D in May; the sort to bounce back after a break. |
9/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Irish; not a regular winner, but ran a sound race when 2.5l fourth over C&D earlier this month (good); only a pound higher than when winning at Newmarket last autumn (7f, good to soft); place chance. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when scoring at York (1m, good to firm) last month and was denied clear run in closing stages when very respectable fifth at Ascot (7f, good to firm) a fortnight later; still unexposed over 1m and remains very much of interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (12) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins at this trip and he was down to his previous winning mark when popping up at 25-1 in 11-runner handicap over 1m at York (good to firm) a fortnight ago; that was a comfortable career best and he might need to better it back down to 7f from 6lb higher; still respected. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have come over 7f and latest was at Southwell in March; creditable third back there next time but has found it harder on turf since; has returned to the mark he defied at Southwell but has too much too prove, including stamina for 1m (remote last of four previous attempt). |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed after only five starts but finished well down the field when 66-1 for seasonal/stable debut at Haydock (1m, good) three months ago; not seen since; considered only if much stronger in the betting here. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Not quite at best this season but exploited some help from the handicapper when winning narrowly at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and ought to remain competitive after going back up 4lb. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025, including over this C&D; mainly below his best this season but he didn't run too badly when sixth at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; on a handy mark and now drops in grade. |
5/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Safely held on all three starts for Grant Tuer this spring but has since been given a wind op; makes stable debut from a good mark; well worth a glance in the betting. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
2lb lower than when seeing off 15 rivals in a 7f handicap (good ground) at York last summer; neither run this year points to him being the answer today though. |
25/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won off this mark in first-time blinkers at York (7f, good) last July and he could improve for last month's respectable comeback at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he does need to build on that and blinkers are left off. |

10/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Twice close up in big-field handicaps at York (1m1f/1m, good) last month before fading when upped to 10.2f there (good to firm) a fortnight ago, when he failed to settle; could be a contender back down in trip. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner who is in a consistent vein of form this term, placing in handicaps over 1m1f and 1m here (both good) on his last two outings; this longer trip asks a different question but he's likely to be on the premises again if his stamina holds. |

Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered. |
7/1 |
|
3 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Sprang a 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January, and back to form when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should be thereabouts. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Caused a 33-1 surprise when winning on his stable debut in January (8.5f, AW) but after a four-month break he couldn't repeat that level returned to turf when 18th of 22 at York (7f, good) seven weeks ago; tough to predict what can be expected this time. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Slightly disappointing off this career-high mark when dropped back to 7f at Yarmouth last month but won twice over the straight 1m there (good to firm) in June and further progress is not yet out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Course specialist who has won over 1m here on his last two starts (good to firm; for Taryn Langley), most recently 19 days ago off a 4lb lower mark than today's; needs things to drop right given the way he's ridden but he can't be dismissed now returned to 7f. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Yarmouth specialist who turned things around with a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) last week; only 3lb higher under a penalty and he's a major player again in his bid for a fifth course win. |

Gained all five wins over 7f; went close over that trip in Class 6 event at regular haunt Catterick (good to firm) last month but went up 2lb for that and looks vulnerable over 1m in this stronger race. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three-time C&D winner (twice on soft, once on good to firm); runner-up over C&D on first two starts this season (good); also a good third here two runs back but ran poorly latest, on his first run on good to firm this season; perhaps ideally suited by softer nowadays. |

Ex-Irish 5yo; started off for current stable with two good runs over 1m in the spring but has suffered a worrying slump in form since and needs to be perked up by the addition of a visor. |

Went close over C&D in March on stable debut and another good run when fourth at Musselburgh (1m) next time; below par at York on his last two starts but he tackled 1m2f last time and is not ruled out back down to 1m. |

9st 11lb |
Clearcut winner in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good) in June and probably bettered that form when very close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month but was below form after racing too freely over C&D three weeks ago and needs to bounce back with a career best. |

|
5th 2 (5) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Headstrong sort but he's taken his form up a notch since cheekpieces went on, scoring at Pontefract (1m) in June before beaten a nose when a clear second at Doncaster (1m) since having hung badly left in front; not the easiest of rides but a player once more here. |
7/4 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month then went one better in commanding style in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good); could have more to offer in the headgear; strong claims under 5lb penalty. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

2nd 13 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |

On dangerous mark but he's finished down the field in three runs this term and is now 0-12 in Flat turf events; others preferred. |
