23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW and 0-18 on turf; a couple of Pontefract runs this spring that bring him into the reckoning and this is effectively his first run at this level since winning at Newcastle in December; should run his race. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins on AW but 0-17 on turf; second and third over C&D in the spring off slightly higher marks than this, before lesser efforts elsewhere on last two outings; well treated if back on song. |

Two wins on AW but 0-16 on turf; twice placed at Pontefract this season but he needs to rebound from a lacklustre effort at Ripon (1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Multiple course winner, the latest in February (1m) off a 1lb higher mark; second run back from a break was better than the first but he still finished behind a couple of today's rivals. |

All six wins have been at this track (7f/1m) but he's been below his best here on his last three starts; may have needed the run here in July but others have stronger claims. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
She produced a positive performance at Royal Ascot and is now 7lb lower but three lesser runs have followed and she needs to raise her game; 4-29 on AW as opposed to 0-13 on turf. |
9/1 |
|
8th 13 (10) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
She's 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February and when running well at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; she's 0-12 on turf and unproven at this trip, and she's been below par at favourite course Newcastle on her last two starts (1m). |
50/1 |

6th 6 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Took this in 2025 and also scored over C&D in February; not at her best when 11th over C&D last time but she's the sort to bounce back. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D novice winner in 2023 and he made a winning start for this stable at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; respected following a 3lb rise with the visor now replacing cheekpieces. |
5/4 |
|
7 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Winless since landing a 1m novice on Newcastle AW in 2023 but the pick of his Tapeta handicap form since shows he's well treated on yard debut; left the Barrons for £11,000 since last seen; likely to be dangerous if taking to Polytrack. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Four-time C&D winner; behind a couple of tonight's rivals last Saturday (second run for new yard) but remains very well treated on peak form and can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple C&D winner who has reached the frame on numerous occasions this season but he was a remote third on recent stable debut at Ripon (1m2f); cheekpieces now return but his last win was 20 months ago and he needs to find more back on Tapeta. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Losing run is mounting up but he's currently in a consistent vein of form; moved out of Ben Haslam's yard since last run; again has frame possibilities. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is often slowly away but registered a sixth win at Newcastle when seeing off 12 rivals in a classified race over this trip in July; however, he was always behind in a 1m course handicap since and has been beaten in his last 11 handicap attempts. |

Has a record of 0-16 on turf and it's a long time between his AW drinks; however, he arrives in form having been placed in that sphere the last twice; may remain competitive. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

On a long losing run but he signalled he is ready to strike again when an unlucky-in-running third of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap a week ago, twice hampered in the straight; big shout off an unchanged mark. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Scored off today's mark over C&D (good to firm) in July, having swapped usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers, and has largely held his form since; not disgraced in competitive series final at Redcar on Saturday; probably won't be far away if he makes a quick reappearance. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Pontefract (1m) in July and has remained in reasonable form, but no obvious excuses here last time and he's now 3lb out of the weights. |

5th 2 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Winless since August 2024 but he comes here on the back of a good second of 12 over C&D in July; this C&D scorer must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
