6th 20 (5) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
A five-time scorer in 2025, including over C&D; runner-up in 6f handicaps at York and Redcar this summer and not ideally drawn with 14th in 6f Ripon handicap last time; not ruled out. |
25/1 |
|
14th 5 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when third of 15 in this race last year; yet to strike in 2026 but there have been some good runs along the way, including his last two starts; looks the likeliest to grab the far rail if the field split into two groups; one to consider. |

Had a fine year in 2025, winning five times; in and out this year but his latest York second (of 19) was a fine run and he needs serious consideration despite a 3lb rise. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner; runner-up on this card 12 months ago; having a solid campaign but surprising if he was up to winning. |
33/1 |
|
9th 10 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who was knocking on the door prior to making all in fine style at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 4lb higher in a tougher race today, but is clearly in good heart and is a two-time winner at Thirsk; could go well. |
11/1 |

1st 2 (2) |

Back in form with three placed efforts this summer; the latest one took his C&D record to 1113; this front-running 8yo remains just 1lb above last winning mark; solid chance. |

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 |

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. |

Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 13 days ago; not out of things despite a 5lb weights rise. |
10/1 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Better known for his exploits over further but he ran well for second in a C&D handicap last August; several good runs in defeat this year but this looks a competitive race in which to end a two-year drought. |
10/1 |
|
4th 15 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but he's been in good form since this visor went on, bumping into an unexposed 3yo when second of four at Catterick (7f, good to firm) and again finishing runner-up at Chester (7.5f, good) last time; in each-way calculations once more. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |
25/1 |
|
17th 9 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); well beaten at Thirsk 24 days ago, however, and this is a deeper race. |
40/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

2-6 over C&D; ended a 17-race losing run at Chester (7f, good) last month and only beaten just over 2l into fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; shouldn't have an issue with the return to this trip and shortlisted. |
7/2 |

4th 3 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Won his first race since September 2024 when scoring at Chester last time (7f, good; third run in cheekpieces, runner-up third there the next day); up 3lb; goes well on fast ground; a possible. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

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. |

9th 4 (3) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

12th 3 (12) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Four handicap wins at Southwell (7f/6f, AW) early this year; however, unplaced in Listed races on turf on her three outings this summer and she's up against it today. |
100/1 |

9th 4 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |

All eight wins have come on the AW and is 0-8 on turf, including when just under 3l behind Bellarchi at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; 3lb pull not enough to tempt, especially as she has never attempted this far before. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Frequent slow-starter who's run well a few times over C&D without winning and is on a handy mark; fared best of the near-side group at York before a solid effort from a wide stall at Wolverhampton; goes on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (10) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Previous C&D winner but often hindered by starting slowly; sixth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (left off here); another win is overdue but he doesn't look ready to strike. |
6/1 |
|
6th 19 (16) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bids for his third straight win in this race, 2lb higher than for his 2024 win and 1lb higher than 12 months ago; slow starts have been an issue in recent outings but he retains ability and it will be no surprise to see him go well with cheekpieces now given a go. |

Winner of eight races including one over C&D, but losing run up to 12 despite a slipping mark; not disgraced when fourth of 11 behind Great at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month, but he could really do with the ground easing. |

A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins on Tapeta in 2025 and he's had just three goes at this trip, all on turf; he didn't do badly when fourth on Carlisle's stiff track last time out so perhaps he's worth another shot at 7f, albeit his AW mark is 5lb higher than on turf. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (12) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on AW; two good runs at Carlisle this summer, second in May and third on Saturday, but they were over 6f and his stamina for this trip is the obvious concern. |
