28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Won at Redcar and Thirsk for today's rider last season (both over 1m on good ground), but hasn't shown the same level of form in two runs this term; conditions suit and back on last winning mark. |

Veteran who has been ridden by Rebecca Hitchen since joining current yard, posting form figures of 31216; hindered by wide trip in AW contest on reappearance most recently; could go well with that outing under his belt. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways at Beverley (8.5f) in April and has continued in good form, runner-up in 1m Redcar handicap 13 days ago; winner has gone in since so a bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. |
9/4 |

9st 9lb |
Both wins have been over 8.5f at Beverley, the most recent in April off 1lb lower than today; has been running respectably recently and drops back down in grade with solid claims. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; has shaped creditably when fourth on both runs in handicaps (1m, 8.5f); interesting with cheekpieces now tried. |

4th 2 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Five-race maiden; best form when fourth on two occasions, including at Hamilton (upped to 1m; handicap debut) latest start; again has frame possibilities but needs progress to get off the mark. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied. |
20/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dry since a C&D win for the Quinn yard more than two years ago; now 10lb lower than when last seen on the AW (3-8 here) but has regressed on turf in the meantime and may just be on the downgrade. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Came good with wins at Beverley (8.4f) and Thirsk (1m, again on good to firm) last month and had an excuse in his hat-trick bid at Southwell (suffered interference) two weeks ago; only 2lb higher than for his last success and he could kick on again back on turf. |
11/2 |
|
6th 13 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has improved this year, recording back-to-back wins at Beverley and Thirsk (around 1m; making all) this month, the latter in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should give it a good go on AW debut if taking to the surface. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained her maiden win at Southwell; has inconsistent handicap form but ran encouragingly at Kempton on penultimate start and returns to this venue off an attractive mark; added hood may help her to settle better than last time; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Slow start to her handicap career but there has been more encouragement on her last two runs, fourth over C&D four weeks ago when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; one for the shortlist. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning on soft ground over this C&D three weeks ago (third start since being gelded); back up 3lb and likely has quicker ground to handle today. |

1st 7 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden; shaped a bit better than the bare result, while seeming outstayed over 1m, at Haydock (good to soft) most recently; could go well off a reduced mark back down in trip. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a nursery at Carlisle (7f, soft) off a 15lb higher mark in August 2024; not at the same level last year but starts out for her new yard off a reduced mark; tongue tied; worth a market check. |
12/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a 7f Carlisle nursery (soft) off a 13lb higher mark in August last season; ran one of her best races since then when third at Beverley last time (8.5f, soft); below par both previous AW runs (first after a break); bit to prove. |

Winless since 2yo days; competitive at this sort of level all summer but a couple of costly defeats here latterly (7f) and needs to find more. |

3rd 6 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

2-29 on turf; in the frame on last four starts, last week finishing a head second to Monhammer over C&D; chance of turning the form around on 4lb better terms. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten favourite in the 7.5f nursery on this card last year, but better than a record of 1-23 might imply and she remains 4lb below her winning mark; likely goaded into overracing last time over a 1m2f trip she's still quite new to, and return to about 1m for now may do no harm. |
9/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Stamina for 1m2f wasn't assured at Redcar, a course that suits her, eight days ago but she was fine and meets Baldosa (third) and Diamond Aura (fourth) on the same terms; below-par favourite here in the spring, which would be a slight worry. |
