2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner (including over C&D) last spring; failed to beat a rival on his last three outings and has lots to prove after a layoff. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
7-47 on AW but has struggled for form since finishing third at Newcastle (1m, Class 5; from 12lb higher) last November; failed to beat a rival in each of his last two starts (9.4f/1m4f) so it's difficult to have confidence. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Easy win at Bath (1m2f, firm) when dropped into a Class 6 in May; not so good since but edging back down the weights and he holds each-way claims in this field. |
11/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not far off career-best form when coming from the rear for clearcut success at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May but not seen to same effect on either subsequent outing; chance may depend upon others setting a strong pace. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; ran creditably sole start here (2024); latest of his two wins came when dropped into Class 6 at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May, before a Class 4 at Yarmouth saw a lesser effort; should be competitive in this race. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Winless since 2024 and this veteran has yet to fire in handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle (1m4f) this summer; others appeal more. |
40/1 |
|
6th 11 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
The last two of his seven wins were at this track, albeit in 2024; placed twice over 1m2f here in a mixed campaign last autumn/winter; well beaten at 25-1 five weeks ago, a run which he may have needed after six months off and he's now back to his last winning mark, but this race looks too hot. |
20/1 |
|
8th 9 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
In fairly good form on AW at Newcastle towards end of last year, making the frame over 1m2f on three of his last four appearances, but has fitness to prove after six-month absence. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice over 1m at Redcar last summer (good to firm/good to soft); fair effort on June's belated reappearance but a bit more needed. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Best known for AW exploits and yet was struggling on Tapeta back in the spring; only 1-22 on turf, lacks a run and he's up against in-form 3yos. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Trip, track and ground are all fine; no threat at Thirsk last week but that was 1m and this trip is more suitable; each-way shout. |
16/1 |

6th 10 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Has done most of her racing and winning over 1m2f; back in better form the last twice but isn't crying out for this drop back in trip, especially on a sharp track. |
