9st 12lb |

Fair ex-Irish 6f winner; yet to hit top form in four runs for his current yard, tried in a visor when fourth of seven in 6f Southwell handicap 15 days ago; needs to step forward despite a falling mark. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Recorded his seventh AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) in April; two fair efforts at Ayr (5f/6f) since but he was quiet at Hamilton last time and is now 0-23 on turf; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in May and comes here on the back of a solid third of 13 in 6f Ayr handicap ten days ago; must enter calculations eased 1lb in his bid for a first turf victory. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No impact in sprint handicaps in Ireland for Kieran Cotter but did show ability in maidens last autumn and needs checking out in the betting on first start for in-form Ed Bethell; all turf starts in Ireland came on going softer than good. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Best efforts came in 5f-6f maidens at this track last October on yld/sft ground; well below that level in three handicaps including on the AW last time; this track does suit; cheekpieces back on. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 5f claimer at Beverley last spring; on a good mark on his best handicap form and his latest Ripon fourth can be upgraded (not ideally positioned); each-way shout. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made encouraging seasonal debut when fourth of 13 over C&D (good to soft) last month and had some excuses when below that form over 5f at Beverley 24 days ago (suffered interference in first half of race); on a good mark now and enters calculations. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort whose three turf wins have all come over C&D; not firing of late, but has become dangerously well handicapped having dropped 14lb below his last winning mark. |
8/1 |
|
8th 8 (1) |
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. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f Polytrack winner; on the slide in the handicap for some time; drops again in grade for this first start at the track; has shown he acts on Tapeta at Newcastle and is on a very handy mark in relation to the form he showed there last October; blinkers go on; remains unproven over this trip. |
33/1 |
|
9th 12 (7) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
AW scorer for previous yard; inconsistent for current stable and has failed to show his form in two starts this term; well treated on best turf efforts but he's not particularly solid. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time course winner (6f/7f), with the most recent coming last June off a 7lb higher mark; solid effort here over 6f nine days ago and steps back up in trip with place claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 13 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Not at her best lately but has become dangerously well handicapped, 7lb lower than when winning for the third time over C&D just over a year ago; ran with credit on a couple of occasions back here in the spring and may be worth chancing in the returning blinkers. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Suited by Hamilton and was winning for the second time there two starts ago (both 6f; good to soft and good to firm); found little returned to 5f on this track since and the yard's other two runners look more likely. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; has patchy profile but he's won twice at Hamilton (6f) this summer including with a late thrust 11 days ago; now drops back in trip but he's only 2lb higher than last time and could be a big factor again if he gets a good pace. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has run well on last two starts here, winning over 6f in April and finishing a close second to Dontwasteamoment (now 5lb worse off) when dropped down to 5f here last month; could go well. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Newcastle (6f, AW) in April and she's finished close up in two of her three starts since (5f, good/AW); not the most consistent but she can be bang there if she's on another going day. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prevailed by half a length in Ayr handicap on Monday, registering an eighth turf win; incurs 4lb penalty but holds a solid chance in current form; gained his only AW success over C&D. |
9/4 |
|
1st 9 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Four of his eight wins have been at Ayr including three over C&D; his last success was 12 months ago but he's been placed in two of his last four runs and has each-claims again. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss at Wetherby (5.5f) last month but she failed to beat a rival at Hamilton last time; handles most ground but has a bit to prove again after that last run and others are more solid. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 5f scorer in 2025; right back on track of late when placed in handicaps (around 5f) at Wetherby and Ayr so she ought to be thereabouts nudged up 1lb. |

18 months since his last win but he is fully effective over C&D and he ran well for third here when last seen in January; this might not be the time to catch him. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 9 (6) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All ten wins have been on AW including five at this track; runner-up off 2lb higher over C&D in September but it has been tough going since and others look safer. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Had a good run of form in early summer last year, getting off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm), but rather up and down since and she found little at Ayr ten days ago; hard to rule out if back to best, though. |
13/2 |
|
6th 12 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
A good spell in 2025 included a Redcar win (6f, good to firm) and a close second in this race (good to soft); slow to find her form this year but things started to look up when she was second of nine at Carlisle (6f) in June; primed to go well. |

Verdict
Course specialist Sixcor seems sure to go well for his in-form yard. However, in an open handicap, it could prove worth siding with Edward Bethell’s recent recruit EDMOND HALLEY to build on the promise of his recent Catterick fifth and shine brightest here.[Peter Entwistle]
