26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Doubled his tally over C&D in May for Ben Haslam; well held in 7f handicaps at York and Ayr on last two starts for his new yard, however, and needs to take a big step forward. |
33/1 |
|
11th 3 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
First leg of a 6f double in May came here on good to firm; also finished close up over 6f on good to soft on final two runs for Ben Haslam but never better than midfield in 7f York handicap for new yard in July; returns from eight weeks off with second-time cheekpieces replacing the visor he wore at York. |
6/1 |
|
11th 18 (12) |
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. |

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. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
7f winner here in December; banging at the door this summer, placed in five of his last six starts, the latest when doing best of the far-side group at Redcar (6f, good; holds Wee Dresser) 16 days ago; should be in the thick of it once again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Overall record of 1-15, but he's been placed four times this summer including a close call in a Catterick handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he should give it another good shot back in trip. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (10) |
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. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Mostly in good form this year and he scored over 6f here (good to firm) in July; however, he weakened late on when fourth over 7f at this track three weeks ago and needs to conclusively prove his stamina for this trip; cheekpieces go on. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Last three starts have come here over 6f and he opened his account when scoring by a neck in July; first in his group when fourth of 16 three weeks later and it was another good effort in 16-runner event when third a fortnight ago; needs to prove his stamina for this trip but he's in form and warrants respect. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (16) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when finishing well for a last-gasp win over C&D (good to firm) in July; held in fourth behind Hurstwood here last time, but he did best of the far side group and that was another creditable effort; shortlisted. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Triple course winner who travelled smoothly for a long way before going close behind a well-backed favourite over C&D two weeks ago; looks interesting off only 1lb higher here and he should get a decent tow into this race. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two C&D wins on his record and his two runs since joining Patrick Neville have been solid; another prominent showing seems likely. |
9/2 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
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. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Admirable veteran who is 5-12 at Redcar and made all in two 16-runner races over C&D (good) in August/September; held in his hat-trick bid at Ripon last time but that was another solid effort and he's not ruled out back at this track. |
9/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is 4-20 at Ripon and made all in 16-runner races at Redcar (6f, good) on his last two outings to take his overall win total to 13; back up another 4lb but he's back in the groove. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (17) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who recorded his 12th win when making all to beat 15 rivals over C&D (good) last month; up 7lb but that a dominant display from a high draw and he's now 4-11 at Redcar; leading contender. |

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. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-running wins at Thirsk and Catterick (both 6f on good to firm) this summer; ran well for second at Catterick six weeks ago but other pace and a wide stall dent confidence this time. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
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. |
