7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has run a number of good races in defeat this season and he got back on the scoresheet when justifying favouritism at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and he has won over C&D in the past; shortlisted. |
8/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely. |

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. |
7/2 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
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. |
8/1 |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
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. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled in 2025; had a wind op prior to his seasonal return 12 days ago but he finished well beaten at Redcar (1m, good); too much to prove. |
33/1 |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning four on the bounce, but 2025 was disappointing; returns after a lengthy absence (had wind op in March) and he has plenty to prove in this competitive race. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this season, the latest off a 10lb higher mark at Beverley (7.4f) in July; although he has been unplaced in all five AW runs, he has shown some aptitude for this surface; shouldn't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
17th 5 (15) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six wins have been on good ground or quicker, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f) in July, but he was third of 11 there on heavy ground last time (8.5f; cheekpieces back on); step up to 1m2f isn't sure to suit. |
20/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three victories this year and just 1lb higher than for the most recent; has run with credit on soft ground, but all wins have come on good or faster. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dropped 26lb in the weights in six runs for new stable since February; perhaps the addition of blinkers will help but she's not a solid option in her current form. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (9) |
18th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win came for Richard Hughes in a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f; 11-8 favourite) in July 2023; hasn't offered much in five starts - over a range of distances (1m-1m4f) - for this yard; competes from an easing mark. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Novice winner here (9.5f) for Richard Hughes in the summer of 2023, but has shown little since returning for this yard in February; the outside stall won't help his cause either. |

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. |
12/1 |

9th 14 (12) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
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. |
25/1 |
|
5th 9 (4) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways at Pontefract (1m) in July and has continued in decent form, sixth of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off an easing mark. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winless in two years and has regressed sharply this season, proving inconsistent in the visor in 0-55 company of late; doesn't make obvious appeal. |
20/1 |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won since landing a three-timer in the summer of 2023; has struggled in handicaps this year but stayed on well up in trip when third of 12 in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) nine days ago; needs to step up back in a handicap. |
12/1 |
|
5 (12) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only one piece of worthwhile form since completing a turf hat-trick in the summer of 2023 and has never attempted this far before, but she drops into this company for the first time; market support would be interesting. |
