4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Mostly creditable efforts in 2025 and he won at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; Chester's extended 1m2f possibly stretched his stamina last time; could bounce back but as a 7yo he's more exposed than some of these. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-37 but his last win was at Thirsk (7f) last month and he ran another good race when a close third at Newmarket (1m) last time; now goes into unknown territory at this trip but he ran well over 1m1f in July and he's not ruled out; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Right back to form under William Pyle on his last two starts, finishing second to Double Parked over C&D before winning over 1m2f here 18 days ago; handles good to firm and soft ground and should be thereabouts. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he responded well to cheekpieces when going close off a reduced mark here (1m, good to firm) last month; kept on well in that race and he's respected off only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip. |
11/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Slipped down the weights and he wasn't beaten far in a Class 4 at Windsor six weeks ago; tongue-tie worn there now left off and new cheekpieces are deployed; one to consider. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner last month off 8lb lower and the following week suffered a fall at York; good to see him bounce back from that with a respectable show at Hamilton; this mark might be on the high side. |
7/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; keeping on (although still had a fair bit of ground to make up) when clipping heels and coming down 1f out at York last Saturday; 9lb higher than at Redcar but still a potential class act at this level if that nasty experience last weekend hasn't left a mark. |

C&D winner; on a losing run but he has run several good races in defeat this year, including here; more minor money on the cards. |
8/1 |
|
4th 11 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Made the frame for the seventh consecutive time, albeit beaten 7l, when second of 14 at Redcar (1m, good to firm) a week ago; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in June and has continued in good form, drawn wide when third of 15 in 1m Thirsk handicap 18 days ago; that form is working out well so she merits serious consideration off a 1lb lower mark. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 (14) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A half-length too good for Jesmond Dawn at Ripon in early June when only 1lb lower; hasn't been overly threatening in her last three races. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a losing run when beating 11 rivals at Ripon (1m, good) last month; respectable efforts since without suggesting she was ahead of her mark. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
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. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

C&D winner on good in June but held off this mark in a Class 3 over 1m1f at Hamilton 11 days ago and this is even harder. |
28/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Bounced back from a lesser effort when narrowly beaten in a first-time tongue-tie at Redcar (1m, good) in June before winning at York (1m2f, good) next time; won't mind this drop back in trip and holds claims off this 4lb higher mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (from a similar mark, beat Criminal Shore) last October; runner-up to well-treated rival over C&D (9-1) penultimate start; reluctant to load, fluffing his chance with a slow start at Redcar (1m; last of 14) latest; possible if back on song. |
13/2 |
|
14th 5 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Last four wins over 1m at Pontefract but he has placed on all three course visits and he arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Redcar (1m, good) last weekend; has won on good to soft; enters calculations. |

4th 9 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Four-time winner at Pontefract where he was competitive last month; for whatever reason he never gave his running last week at Thirsk. |

9th 12 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Four-time winner at Pontefract where he's been bang there in his last two races; his only other win was over this C&D so looks a player. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (2) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected. |

Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance. |

17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Admirable veteran who recently completed a hat-trick over 1m2f before disappointing last week at Doncaster; has to bounce back from that, but he should be fine returned to 1m. |

Veteran who is enjoying a fine season and bagged win number five when completing a hat-trick in 1m2f handicap at Ripon 12 days ago; this likeable front runner merits serious consideration nudged up 1lb. |
