3rd 4 (10) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though. |
25/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract. |
5/1 |
|
13th 1 (16) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f). |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Said to have run flat last time; tended to respond well to switches/removal of headgear in the past (back to cheekpieces from blinkers tonight) and won't mind coming back up from sprint trips, but Pontefract will need forgiving. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close over C&D last week in a race he won two years earlier; now 3lb higher and they claimed 5lb last time, so may need more. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He was 4lb lower when beating Strike to take this race in 2024; could only finish fifth last year but he took advantage of a reduced mark to score at Redcar (6f, good to firm; First Folio fourth) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but he should be thereabouts. |
11/2 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Conditions to suit and he ran his best race of the year when third over C&D in May; beaten twice since but he is being given a chance by the handicapper. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time sprint winner who is ideally suited by good or slower ground; finished down the field in last two starts, but he ran well at Redcar in May and is now back on the same mark as when landing the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; needs a close look back from a short break. |
11/2 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not at best last time but is normally consistent and may rebound; gained most recent success in last year's Ayr Bronze Cup (by a neck off 2lb lower) and is 1-1 at Doncaster. |
13/2 |
|
11th 6 (17) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins have been over 6f, the most recent coming on soft ground at Ayr in June; however, she's been held in both starts since and now drops back to 5f; may be high enough in the weights for now. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (11) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gained her fourth success when winning at 14-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, soft; Parisiac was second) in June but she was well beaten off this mark at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
She rattled off a hat-trick at 6f on good ground around this time last year and was back in the groove when scoring at Ayr (6f, soft) four weeks ago; has been put back to her career-high mark (0-2) but there's a solid chance she can defy it this time. |

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. |

Back to winning ways at Doncaster (6f) in June; well held in 6f handicaps at York and Pontefract since, however, so this C&D scorer needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
5f and 6f winner, most recently in a 0-70 at Doncaster (good to firm) on his penultimate start; found out from this mark and in this grade in a big field at York latest; more needed. |

Landed the ninth win of his career when keeping on well in a Class 5 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 4lb higher mark in a stronger race could find him out. |

Took a while to exploit his drop in the weights but he won at Doncaster in July and went in again at Southwell nine days ago; 4lb higher in a better race but he has the rail draw to help. |

1st 2 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) last month and runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) next time, splitting a well-treated winner and a next-time-out scorer; well beaten at York last time but was scuppered by a high draw; third over C&D in April and could be involved. |

Without a victory since 2024 and he was retried in a visor when beating one in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are fitted here. |
25/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on his old form but last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts this season; this drop back in trip is no problem but he needs a major revival; visor reapplied. |
25/1 |

18th 10 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Losing run stretches back over two years; best effort this year when fifth of eight over 7f at Goodwood (soft) on Sunday, but he'll need more if he's to exploit his reduced mark. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

C&D winner; best known for exploits at Thirsk more recently, including a close second there last May (5f, good); cheekpieces off for his reappearance and not a solid option, for all he has dropped to a good mark. |

Two solid placed efforts have followed his AW win (6f; dead-heated) at Chelmsford last October; still has relatively low mileage and a promising claimer has been booked; first 5f run since his 2yo days. |
