21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Resumed winning ways at Carlisle (6f) and not seen to ideal effect with fifth of eight over C&D later in June; this C&D scorer can't be discounted in refitted cheekpieces after a break. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Missed a few chunks of his career and is on the decline now; remains consistent, though, is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and is being given every chance by the handicapper. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who has been beaten ten times since his last win in July 2024 but he's been placed on both starts this summer (6f, soft/Tapeta); chance. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won for two years but made an encouraging return from his second wind op and a six-month layoff when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month; holds claims if he can back up that run. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Finished third in his two races this year, the latest in June at Carlisle (6f, soft); on a competitive mark and should make another bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has shown most of his form over 6f on ground softer than good; close third in big field over 5f at Doncaster in sole run this term; enters calculations off same mark back up in trip. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well-backed when winning over 5f at Carlisle two runs back; not disgraced off this 5lb higher mark when fourth to Stirrup Cup over 6f (soft) on same track last week; a possible. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a run of duck eggs with 5f success at Carlisle (good) ten days ago and although back up 5lb he remains well treated on historical data, which includes 6f win off current mark (two years ago); respected. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown most of his handicap form over 7f, winning twice on AW; however, both 2026 efforts suggest this return to 6f is worth exploring; effective on turf and he's on a handy mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well backed when winning a C&D handicap in July; performed with credit in a much stronger race here two weeks ago; 1lb lower today and she has a good chance back down into a Class 6. |
11/2 |
|
5th 13 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Back to form with a bang when winning a C&D handicap 26 days ago; that was a lowly Class 6 event though and a 7lb rise against deeper opposition looks beyond her. |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (6f/7f); not at her best in three runs this year but dropping down the weights and this is an ease in grade; has run well over C&D before but she may need more of a test. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Losing run is mounting up; however, well treated on best form and last few efforts (432) suggest her turn may be near; runner-up at Thirsk (7f) latest; not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who has dropped to 6f for last two starts; gradually back to form this season for new stable, close third over C&D (good to soft) most recently; possibilities off same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (13) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
High in weights when first handicapping, following a Beverley novice win (about 7f) as 2yo, but was down 10lb from her opening mark when a never-nearer sixth at Catterick (6f, good) last week on second run for yard; this stiff test looks sure to suit and she has a good run in her. |
