22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Largely in good form this term, notably two wins in the spring; ran well, beaten narrowly by the market leader, in four-runner field at Yarmouth (11.5f) latest run; upped in grade but receives weight all round; solid chance. |
9/4 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won here over 1m1f in April (good to firm) and followed up at Bath (11.5f, firm) next time off a 6lb lower mark than today's; disappointing at Beverley (1m2f) 36 days ago but he did sit close to a strong pace and may be able to bounce back. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough at the 12th attempt when justifying support at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month; 4lb higher in different conditions here but he pulled well clear with the runner-up last time and his best form has come on Polytrack; respected back up in trip. |

1st 4 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
11-race maiden having only his third run on turf; yet to find his best form this season and the headgear tried last time is dispensed with. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in April and close third at Chester (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; this 6yo could give another good account but is taking on some unexposed 3yos and may well be vulnerable. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Has a much better strike-rate on AW than on grass; soundly beaten off his lower turf mark returned to this sphere last time; opposed. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
He had been threatening prior to his C&D win in an amateur riders' race three weeks ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has much better strike-rate on AW but has performed well on fast turf here twice in recent weeks (1m3f/1m2f) and is still on a workable mark. |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
0-12 but has proved herself capable off higher marks than today's and ran second over 1m2f at Nottingham 11 days ago; kept on well that day and goes up in trip here; considered. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his best form at up to 1m2f last season but he's still a maiden after 11 starts and has finished seventh in both runs this year; has bit to prove after another break and others are preferred. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Retains plenty of ability aged nine, having finished a close second in two of his three outings this term, latest at Sandown; was still capable of winning races last summer and can't be ruled out. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight wins divided between hurdling and the Flat; off the same mark as when narrowly beating Mrembo in this 12 months ago and returns off the same mark; penultimate run was on a par with that performance. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in June and followed up at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) next time; has since left James Ferguson; holds good claims off this 6lb higher mark on his stable debut. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Posted an improved effort when getting off the mark at the sixth attempt at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 18 days ago, beating a subsequent winner; a 4lb rise looks fair and he's open to further progress, albeit he does have his stamina to prove for this longer trip. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Hinted at ability in five starts last year but she didn't help her chance by hanging right at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on her reappearance 16 days ago; up in grade. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hinted at ability in five starts on turf/Polytrack last year without progressing; drops in grade on her return from 197 days off, but may be best watched unless attracting support. |
