24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Won two in a row in May (6f, good to firm/good) and finished close up on final two runs for Ben Haslam (6f, good to soft); changed hands for 14,000gns recently and he should be fine back up to 7f on his stable debut; might not be far away in a first-time visor. |
33/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who has thrived since sent handicapping, landing 6f handicaps at Ayr (good to firm) and Ripon (good) last month; another good run when third at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last night; not taken at all lightly. |
9/4 |

3rd 2 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Comes into this in good form having won over 6f at Ayr (good to firm) and Ripon (good) last month; up 10lb (5lb higher than last time) and a contender, but softer ground a concern. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Only 1-32 and should have run better in a classified here last week as he stays 7f. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has modest 1-31 strike-rate but gave good account when third of 13 in 6f handicap here last month and now dips into this basement grade for the first time; fine over 7f; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Newcastle in December; has finished runner-up in two of his last three starts, including when beaten a length there 26 days ago; switch back to turf is no problem and he makes some appeal. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win was at 7f but he's effective at 6f and could have a part to play if bouncing back from modest latest effort. |

7th 8 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Returned to form when third at Ripon (6f, good) last month and again ran well when second at Ayr (7f, soft) last Saturday; his sole win came here and he could be involved. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had hinted at winning potential before prevailing in a tight finish over C&D (good to firm) last month; ran on well late on and could be good value for the neck winning margin; 3lb higher. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-race maiden but he has shown winning potential this summer, notably when doing best of the low-drawn runners at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) on July 1; another solid run (7f) last time; shouldn't be far away. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden but he's been shaping quite well in recent starts, including when fourth of 18 here last time over 6f, doing best of those drawn low; looks worth another try over this longer trip. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The last of his five wins was in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) for Ben Haslam in February; made a solid start for new yard when runner-up there (tongue-tie added) in June and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unplaced elsewhere on final three starts for Ben Haslam but wasn't running badly and three out of his last four wins have come at this venue; on a career-low mark and could play a leading role back here in a first-time tongue-tie on his stable debut. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won divisions of this in 2022 and 2024 but he's looking regressive; only seventh in a classified race at Thirsk last time which was won by Drish Samphire; 1lb out of the weights. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time winner who scored twice last year but he's been generally disappointing in six runs this season; handles most ground but he needs to raise his game to make a serious impact. |
15/2 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from 23 starts but he made a bold bid and was only narrowly denied in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; has leading claims if he can back that up. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Thirsk and over this C&D in July (both on good to firm), the most recent coming off a 3lb lower mark than today's; below his best here on his last two starts but is worth forgiving for the latest effort, having come across to the near side rail; may be able to bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Front-running wins at Thirsk and over C&D last month; only fourth behind Miss Rainbow here 13 days ago but he used up a lot of energy getting to the front from the widest stall; better drawn today and he should have a big run in him. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last month and bounced back from a disappointing effort when winning over this C&D two weeks ago (again made all); can't be dismissed off this 3lb higher mark at a track which suits. |
9/2 |
