31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Runner-up in three 2m handicaps this spring (good/good to firm), twice at Plumpton and once at Huntingdon; that form isn't anything to go wild about and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she has another big role to play here. |
13/8 |

2nd 4 |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has taken a marked step forward since switched to handicaps, going close when second over C&D and backing that up with an even better effort when filling the same position at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) seven days ago; another to consider. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Novice win in 2024 remains his sole win in 18 Flat races and he has performed poorly in his two previous visits here; well-held third over hurdles last week; not overly appealing. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; should have a future over hurdles but he made a low-key start in this sphere over C&D (good; 20-1) last month; stablemate of Chemistry. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Progressed from a low base last July/September, winning at up to 2m; quiet on her first two starts this summer following wind surgery, but she was back in the groove when second of 13 at York (extended 2m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) three weeks ago; tackles a classier event this time but can't be dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 14 (12) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Arrives with something to prove having been well beaten here on her two starts this summer (1m2f/1m4f); however, she was progressive last July/September, winning at up to 2m, and she won over hurdles in March; possibilities if she's back on song in a first-time tongue-tie; watch the betting. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered two unchallenged wins from the front (around 2m, good to firm/good) on his first and third starts of the year; can probably be forgiven his latest effort over 2m2f ten days ago and he remains feasibly treated; considered. |
8/1 |
|
7th 10 (11) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Easily made all here (2m, good) in June and he's run well in third on his last two starts, most recently behind Inappropriate here (2m, good); could give it a good go from the front but this is warmer than he's used to. |

Regressive 6yo who is now 0-6 since joining this yard; others look more likely. |

4th 2 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 6yo who managed only third of four over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 0-5 for his new stable this year; cheekpieces (no obvious effect when used twice last season) are given another whirl; revival needed. |

Seven-race maiden; ought to have coped better with the soft ground when beaten 55l on final start last season and was again tailed off when reappearing on AW last month; now sports first-time tongue-tie and visor; others have much less to prove. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Catterick specialist (Flat and jumps); won twice at that North Yorkshire venue (1m6f-2m; from lower marks) last October, but off since producing a laboured effort over hurdles there - post-race examination revealed no abnormalities - in January; veteran stablemate of Zimmerman. |

Eight-time winner here (Flat and jumps) who has been running respectably over further at this venue since November; drop back in trip asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |

Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible. |

Took him a while to get off the mark, but has won three times over 1m4f on the AW this year including one here (under Jessica Llewellyn); back off his last winning mark and holds each-way claims if seeing out the new trip. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles but Flat career has been just four races on Tapeta, fading into fourth of eight off this mark when upped to 2m last month for Flat handicap debut (disqualified; jockey failed to weigh in); switches to turf and needs improvement. |

Five-time Flat winner; ended losing run when winning a small-field novice handicap hurdle three weeks ago; has the ability to play a big part but breaking on terms is an issue for him. |

1st 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |
