27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; still 10lb higher than when winning over C&D in July last year, but has been beaten less than a length off similar marks in each of his last four starts; faces other speed influences but still respected on first start back with his former trainer. |
8/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 7f winner in 2025 for Ann Duffield; returned with very good placed efforts in 7f handicaps at Newcastle and Musselburgh this spring and not out of things starting out for another new yard here. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won twice in the second half of last year, the latest in a big field at Thirsk (7f, good) in September; went close on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) and he can make another bold bid. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three of four wins have been at 7f, including over C&D (good) last August; back on his latest winning mark after failing to find his form this year and has plenty to prove following a 14l defeat at Doncaster in June. |
10/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; Beverley reappearance was promising but he was only midfield in a big field at York three weeks ago; down in class but needs a full revival. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Usually seen over further but he goes well on slow ground and is only 1lb higher than for his big-field win at York last summer (7f, good to soft); big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |

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. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent and has failed to shine on last two starts but may have been unsuited by soft ground then Tapeta; runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August then fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) where he was denied a clear run, and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort. |
20/1 |

5th 11 (5) |

Three turf wins to his name; patchy record in 2025 though and others are more appealing in today's field. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Looked unfortunate when beaten less than a length into second of seven at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) since; acts on ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft; still 2lb below last winning mark; a player. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Versatile ground-wise and comes into this off the back of a narrow success at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago; only 3lb higher but he may be better over a furlong shorter. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Versatile ground-wise and all four wins have been at 7f on turf; his mixed record this season but he wasn't beaten far at Ayr (1m) last time and is now only 1lb higher than for his last success; not ruled out back in trip. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins have been at 7f but he hasn't had many chances at this trip, over which he ran third on his penultimate start at Carlisle; had a break since a bad run in June and has possibilities. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |

10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

8st 9lb |
Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights. |
10/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Another who has a better strike-rate on AW (7-19) than on turf (1-17); patchy form so far this year, but has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark and this is a drop in class; stable also runs Thunderstorm Katie. |
7/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Another who has a better strike-rate on AW than turf; not beaten far into fourth in a 5f handicap at Doncaster 17 days ago, a race where he fluffed the start; yet to shine at Ayr; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |

Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

8st 13lb |
Ran well when a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, but didn't back it up at Pontefract (5f, good; first-time hood) a fortnight ago; opposable given his wide draw and a losing run of 22. |

Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |
