19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual turf winner this season (5.5f/5f); needs to bounce back from last month's below-par Carlisle run but this mark is not beyond him and he should be fine back on Tapeta; swaps blinkers for refitted visor. |
9/1 |

8th 10 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock. |

3rd 8 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three sound runs this term, winning his last two, at Wetherby in June (5.5f, good to firm) and over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm); this looks a stronger race, but he could go well again. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
In good form with successive second placings in the summer, and it was an agonising head defeat under Serena Brotherton at Yarmouth (6f; rider dropped stick) last month; yet to shine in six starts here but he's back on that Yarmouth mark and is fine at 5f. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Perhaps hindered by racing on the far flank of the field over C&D last time; knocking on the door otherwise of late and remains 6lb below last winning mark; not ruled out. |
5/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

He's won six times and has been runner-up in his last three contests, latest when jockey dropped her whip when in front inside the final furlong at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm); he may well gain compensation today. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual course winner over 5f, including from 6lb higher on good ground in April; finished a close fourth off this mark at Pontefract (5f, good) on Thursday; has won at 6f and looks one of the more solid options. |
11/4 |

4th 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on last two starts but the first was over 7f and he was slowly away last time; some good runs in defeat over 6f/5f this summer and he's in the mix if rediscovering that form. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was 15 months ago but he's run three solid races for his current yard including when third in a classified event here (5f, good to firm) last month; should be unfazed by this step back up in trip and he's in the mix back in a handicap. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up off her basement handicap mark on stable debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in June and also ran well when fourth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; not really favoured by today's weights but can give another good account. |

Has won six times on the AW, but 0-15 on turf; creditable second at Wetherby two runs back (5.5f, good to firm) but well beaten last time (6f). |

Back in better form (over 5f/5.5f) this month, winning AW classified event then solid second (behind a rival who was on the middle leg of hat-trick) in Wetherby handicap; has won over 6f; 0-14 on turf but holds a fighting chance. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Produced her best performance for a long time when second of 16 in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Redcar (6f, good) last month; however, the headgear didn't have the same effect when mid-division there (6f, good) last time and she remains a maiden after 26 starts. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (10) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Still a maiden after 25 starts but she did best of the rest behind Hurstwood over C&D (first-time blinkers) last month; that was her best effort for some time and has possibilities if she can back that up. |
8/1 |

2nd 18 (16) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Runs well now and again but arrives here with a record of 0-24 and from out of the weights; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Cashed in on her reduced mark when scoring at Catterick (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but she won off higher last term and warrants consideration. |

1st 1 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Made the frame a couple of times earlier this season and she's well handicapped on that form, but her last three performances haven't come up to scratch and she needs to raise her game. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

C&D winner who's back on a career-high mark but who arrives in good form, having run well when way out of her depth last time; goes on the shortlist. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch 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. |
9/1 |
