31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going front-runner who's won five already this year, including a four-timer in high summer (5f-7f); another in-form effort off his revised mark last time and won't mind the drop from 7f or the return to Tapeta. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just 1-25 but she filled the runner-up spot (5f/7f) in two of her seven visits here; close third at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on her penultimate start and wasn't drawn to best advantage at Redcar last time; capable of having a say. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Only 1-24 and again came up short at Yarmouth (6f) where she was given every chance; looks hard to win with. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Sole win from 23 starts came at Newcastle in September 2024; runner-up at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) and Catterick (7f, good to firm) in July, but ran poorly at Ripon last time; may be able to bounce back. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

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. |

2nd 3 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
A fair 7f scorer at her best for Seb Spencer; mainly below par this season but better signs on her yard debut with fifth of 11 in 7f Catterick handicap six days ago, staying on late after a very slow start; considered. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Wins have come over an easy, turning 7f and she ran well enough over C&D in the summer to be worth a look among the likely bigger prices for her new yard; she wouldn't want more than the odd shower though. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) off 10lb higher last year; has largely struggled since but latest Catterick fourth from well off the pace was a step back in the right direction and has obvious handicapping scope if able to build on that. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-15 and he hasn't really threatened to put that right this time around; well drawn but likely vulnerable again. |
25/1 |

9th 7 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest maiden at his best in 2024 and 2025; not so good for new yard this year but latest start, when wearing first-time cheekpieces over 7f, was at least a step back in the right direction. |
16/1 |

5th 9 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
When fifth of 14 at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month he was trapped wide and failed to settle, so that run wasn't without promise, but he's since been well beaten at Newcastle (6f, AW) and is now 0-13; cheekpieces go on; plenty to prove. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

An 11yo having his 99th start but doesn't arrive in much form and would be a surprise winner. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Done most winning earlier in the year and doesn't arrive in any form; on the positive side, he has three wins and a couple of seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D, which counts for something at a track that's always produced specialists. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Veteran who proved he still had what it takes when making virtually all at Southwell in April and is back off the same mark; has won three times over this C&D and no surprise were he to run well. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner 12 months ago; his three wins for Ruth Carr this year have all come at Catterick over 7f, the latest when overcoming traffic issues three weeks ago; the third has won since; one to consider despite his 3lb rise. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins in May, each off a mark 2lb lower, took his record over C&D to 3-5; continued in good form since, latterly in cheekpieces (removed on today's drop back in trip), and is one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
All four wins over 7f, including twice in quick succession over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, but he was second on his previous C&D visit; returned to form when 2l fourth of five at Musselburgh (7f) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) three weeks ago but he remains 4lb above those winning marks. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-12); hasn't managed to beat many rivals in three starts this year, only eighth of nine at Catterick (7f; 28-1) 24 days ago; handicap mark continues to slide. |
20/1 |

8th 5 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's 1lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September and is also effective on turf; however, following a break he's finished down the field on grass on his last two starts; has to get back on track. |
20/1 |

AW winner for Richard Fahey (7f); well beaten on stable debut after a break on turf at Lingfield last month (7f, good) but should come on for the outing; first run on soft ground. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Course regular whose 23 appearances have seen her placed eight times, including two wins at 7f; she finished second and third in two course classified events (7f) last month and can't be dismissed back in a handicap, albeit this first crack at 6f since her three qualifying runs in 2021 poses a question. |

3rd 8 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner and she returned to form in a first-time visor (replaced cheekpieces) when narrowly denied in a similar event three weeks ago; has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two-time course winner who showed some spark when third over C&D in May; however, this 7yo has struggled on her four starts since and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompting a revival. |
