25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins from three AW starts (including C&D) as opposed to 0-11 on turf; has a higher mark in this sphere as a result but it is probably still in range; one to note for market confidence. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, including over C&D last summer, who's regressed sharply in recent times; a few years since she ran at this low a level and that should help, but it will largely hinge on how she responds to wearing headgear for the first time. |
5/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner down the years but is 0-7 this term and her form has declined to some degree, as current mark reflects; drops back to Class 6 for the first time in a while. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark on second handicap start over C&D last week (good to firm; second run after wind op); should go well again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Some promise on first two starts (6f; 2yo debut for Ed Walker) but her two 7f runs, including handicap debut (after wind op) three weeks ago, have been less convincing; 4lb lower today but not a solid option. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner on final 2yo start for previous yard; has achieved little in turf handicaps this term and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is likely; drops to Class 6. |
14/1 |
|
13th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt when winning a novice at Wolverhampton (6f) in October on his final start for Ralph Beckett, but he's struggled in three handicaps since joining this stable; others have stronger claims. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Losing run up to 16, but has won twice over C&D and ran better than it looked when sixth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 11 days ago; 20lb below his last winning mark and could go well at a price. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winner of nine races, all over 5f including two here, but has dropped 18lb below his last winning mark for a reason; didn't show enough on his recent return from nine months off to make him of immediate interest. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark in 6f handicap at Cork (yielding) last September; has been placed in big-field handicaps at 6f and 7f for this yard in 2026 and although below best when last seen in June she shouldn't be out of this, especially if the ground deteriorates. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (16) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
1-13 with the win coming at Cork in September (6f, yielding) off 60; some positive placed efforts this term at Navan (6f, heavy), Listowel (7f, good) and most recently at Fairyhouse (6f, good); latest run can be marked up because slowly away and was waiting for a gap in the straight; in the mix. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two creditable runs for new connections but he is an exposed 26-race maiden and may have to make do with some more minor money. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (12) |
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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-11 but she has run well at this track, including when second over 6f last month; not quite so good back at 5f 12 days ago; vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-race maiden who was runner-up here (6f, good to firm) last Monday but this is a deeper race and she needs to find more on this drop back in trip; yard also runs Wee Mary and Doon The Glen. |
5/1 |
