29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-11 this year but on a dangerous mark and was a good second over C&D (soft) 12 days ago; soundly beaten third over C&D (soft) one day later but that may have come sooner than ideal; this three-time C&D winner can make a bold bid. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

She returned to form when runner-up over C&D (soft) yesterday, a race she finished third in last year before winning a division of this race a day later; has to be taken seriously. |

She's not been at the top of her game on her last three starts but she's on a handy mark on this season's best efforts and finished a creditable third in a division of this race last year. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Completed a three-timer when winning over C&D (soft) last September off 5lb lower mark; good second over distance short of his best at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and should run well back up in trip. |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three (1m2f/1m4f) on the spin last August/September; disappointing in his last two races last year and again on reappearance three weeks ago, with 1m (he's unraced over this short since June 2023) a major worry today. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed five tims this season but his losing run stretches back over two years and he wasn't at his best at Redcar when last seen eight weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |

7th 5 (4) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Latest of his three wins came at Beverley (8.5f, soft) over two years ago but he's been placed on five occasions this year; below his best at Ayr (7f, good) 16 days ago and he now goes back up to 1m with the headgear removed. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won a division of this race last year; back to form with a bang to easily take advantage of a much-reduced mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good) in August; two poor efforts have followed but no surprise to see him bounce back with the Tim Easterby team in great form. |
12/1 |

9th 7 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11yo having his 116th career start; very much had the run of things when scoring by 4l at Carlisle (1m1f, good) and ran a shocker next time; opposable on the balance of this year's exploits. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of an easing mark at Carlisle (1m1f amateurs', good) recently; had the run of the race there - runner-up was subject to a running-and-riding inquiry - so will need to find slightly more from this 7lb higher mark; Jake Dickson takes off a useful 3lb. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive. |
20/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June 2024 when trained by Ben Haslam; has been in the doldrums on the Flat for current yard and hard to be confident of improvement now back over hurdles. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |

All four wins have come on AW over 7f, including here in March off 55; ran no sort of race when last seen here in July from a wide draw (much better draw here). |

All four wins from 45 attempts have come on AW over 7f; her last win was at this track in March from a mark of 55; well held in four starts since (one here and three on turf); not discounted now back on this surface. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
19-race maiden, 15 of those for Brian Ellison; made a respectable start for new yard four weeks ago but he's 3lb out of the handicap today and needs much more like his best form of previous campaigns. |
25/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
18-race maiden, the last 15 of these for Brian Ellison; sold 16 days ago for £3,500; with this season's form not as good as last term's, it looks like he's best watched. |
