2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Heavy-ground winner in 2022 but not won since and mainly disappointing last year; may have needed his reappearance five weeks ago but needs to leave it well behind. |

Heavy ground winner in 2022 but not won since and mainly disappointing last year; 11lb lower than at start of last season but might be one to watch this time. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple course winner who comes here on the back of an emphatic victory in 1m3f handicap at Carlisle 20 days ago; up 6lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley (7.5f-1m4f), the most recent coming last August off a 4lb higher mark than today's, and he posted a solid effort when third there over 1m2f two weeks ago; down the field over this C&D in June. |

3rd 4 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Six-time course winner and a regular here; beaten just over 2l over C&D last month when he was on the back foot after starting slowly; hard to rule out. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won 11 races, two of them over C&D; comes into this in fair form (second at Beverley last week) and as she acts on any ground, is one to consider. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner, including over C&D, and is versatile regarding going; latest success came in an Ayr classified event (1m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month; blew the start and never a factor back in handicap company latest; has the ability to have a big say from this mark. |
100/30 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Combination of a first-time visor and drop to 0-50 classified company enough to see her end a losing run a fortnight ago; win last August came off a stone-higher mark and she's shortlisted now back in the groove. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive 8yo who has not won since last summer and was particularly disappointing on turf a fortnight ago; needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 13 months ago and he's finished down the field in last five runs; on reduced mark but he needs to raise his game and it would be a negative if the ground dries out. |

Campaigned mostly over further; slowly away and always behind returned to 6f last time, taking record for current yard to 0-9; opposed. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish filly who has been unable to take advantage of a declining mark for new stable; change of trip (second attempt at sprinting) needs to help. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who holds weak claims on the form she showed last year for new yard; ruled out unless the market speaks positively. |
25/1 |
|
9th 11 (12) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A modest 1m2f maiden for Geoff Oldroyd but she's shown little in a pair of handicaps at Beverley and Doncaster for her current yard this summer; others are preferred. |
50/1 |
|
7 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made an encouraging start in handicaps when third at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last March but she's had only two runs since and has finished out the back in both of them; still lightly raced but has plenty to prove on second run for current yard. |

9st 9lb |
Only turf success was in a maiden over 7.5f here in July 2022 (good); fair efforts when placed on last two starts, latest over C&D (good); a possible. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple AW scorer whose sole win from 23 turf starts came at this venue in 2022; creditable effort from her lower turf rating at Ripon last week and claims from same mark. |

Nine-race maiden who finished last on first two starts for new stable this year (1m3f/8.4f); big leap of faith required to support him. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
She has been placed over 1m in half of her six starts here and went back-to-back at Ripon (good) and Beverley (good to firm) in May; up in grade when she blew the start 45 days ago but could fare better back in this company; one of three for the yard. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Landed back-to-back handicaps over C&D and at Beverley (8.5f) in May; recorded a good third of seven at Redcar (1m) last time so can't be dismissed. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark when making all at Ripon (1m, good) in May and followed up at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) next time; faded into eighth of 11 at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago but may get an easier time of things in front this time. |
