1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including twice over C&D) in 2025; back on track with fifth of 20 over C&D 17 days ago when first home in his group; must enter calculations off the same mark in a change of headgear. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Two C&D wins last year and he is now 5lb lower than for the second of them; needs to bounce back from some modest efforts but that's quite possible under these conditions. |
16/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner; all wins on good or slower but acts on fast ground; 1l second from this mark at Thirsk last month but needs to shrug off two lesser efforts. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
10yo who went close at Ripon (6f, good) in May and stumbled at the start when an unplaced favourite there last month; however, his last eight wins have come at Ripon or Newcastle and he's 0-8 at York. |
20/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time C&D winner; easing mark and back to form, just held by U Sure Do over C&D (good; 25-1) under four weeks ago; is capable of handling easier ground, and well drawn close to the stands' rail in stall 10; stablemate of William Dewhirst. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Better on AW than turf so two defeats on the grass aren't especially damaging to his claims here; won easily at Wolverhampton (5f) on his most recent start and he is respected back on Tapeta. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Wasn't winning out of turn when taking a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in May; didn't get the clearest run at Chester three weeks ago but that took his turf record to 0-11; others are more appealing. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Third of 26 in a 6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood but then disappointed when 4-1 at Hamilton; lacks the same appeal as some in here, especially when 6f has always looked his trip. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Leicester (6f) in April; running well since and just edged out when third of 26 in 6f Goodwood handicap 23 days ago; that form is proving very strong, so he merits serious consideration despite 2lb rise. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 12 (16) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; respectable sixth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago but suspicion he'll prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
In winning form on the AW over the winter; had been off for five months when not disgraced with fifth of ten in 6f Southwell AW handicap 16 days ago; can build on it here. |
10/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner, the latest off this mark in January; returns from 163 days off minus any headgear, but can go well fresh; possible player. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time turf winner who has won three of his last four starts, including a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up another 5lb but he's been as good as ever this summer and could continue on an upward curve; respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month and beat three rivals to follow up over this C&D (good to firm); not written off after just one lesser run but he was only sixth of eight behind Alfa Whiteburd over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago and has to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Goes well here and arrives seeking a hat-trick after wins at Catterick and over C&D (readily latest; both good to firm); carries penalty but on last week's evidence that may still not stop him. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins have been on AW and latest was at Chelmsford (6f) in January; now 4lb lower than for that success but he's been tailed off in last two runs (turf/Tapeta) and needs a major revival. |
10/1 |
|
13th 7 (8) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Better on AW than turf and wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Ascot run (reportedly unsuited by the fast ground); 2lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in January (6f); not discounted. |
16/1 |
|
12 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times on AW over the winter and now back to the last winning mark; more to prove on turf though and others have greater potential. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
The addition of a tongue-tie saw him return to winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June; the tongue-tie was left off on last month's stable debut and he ran creditably in fifth at Southwell; this may prove too competitive. |
16/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on Tapeta when winning off 4lb lower early last month; a poor effort on turf a few weeks ago will need forgiving but he's the type to respond positively to a change of yard and the headgear coming off, so holds possibilities. |
20/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Triple turf winner who made it 3-5 on AW when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f; tongue-tie added) last month; ran another good race when a close second at Ripon (6f, good) last time and he's respected off only 1lb higher. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored three times last March-August; he's now just 1lb above his last winning mark, having ended last season on a low note and continued in same vein this year; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
25/1 |
|
4 (4) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Scored three times off lower marks, including over C&D, last year; however, the 8yo has failed to show his form in two runs this term and is best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
20/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-time course winner who made a bold bid when runner-up in a 20-runner handicap here (6f, good) 16 days ago; up 3lb but he still looks on a workable mark and is respected back in trip; has won on good to firm and good to soft. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 20 (17) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-time course winner; he has done enough this year to think he could add to that tally but this may prove too competitive for the veteran. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ripon specialist (ten wins at that track); run down only by Reigning Profit and Rock Of England when attempting to win the race named in his honour there (5f) 26 days ago; no issue with this return to 6f and has been placed here previously. |
