14th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won on fast ground at Ripon (1m2f) and Lingfield (11.6f) in June and he ran into a major improver when fourth in a Class 2 event at Beverley last time; probably still has some margin for error off this mark but he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner in June and she comes here in good form, a close fifth in 1m1f Hamilton handicap six days ago; she's one for the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner who is suited by good or slower ground; has mixed record this season but she won at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and went very close at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can repeat the form. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D on good ground in 2021 and came from off the pace to end long losing streak at Carlisle (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) in June but her form has dipped since that latest success and others in this field have more persuasive profiles. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
1st 14 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |
9/1 |
|
10 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
In form and pretty consistent but he's exposed and hasn't won for almost two years; likely to give his running but vulnerable to younger legs. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner; creditable second in this race in 2022 and 2025 but on both occasions he was in better form at the time; out of sorts since his last success. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained most recent success off 3lb higher last July, enhancing his good record at Ripon; not in anything like the same form since; difficult to support with confidence. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Third in a 1m selling handicap here last month but beaten about 6l, and remains that bit more compelling at the 7f of his two career successes, the latest on Tapeta before Christmas; down to a new career-low mark. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He's 2lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) last December and didn't run badly when third of seven in selling handicap at Redcar (1m) last time; however, he needs something extra here and is untested beyond 1m. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
4th May 2023 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Largely below par on the AW this winter and again returned to turf in a change of headgear when sixth in 7f Catterick handicap eight days ago; handily weighted now so he can't be totally dismissed. |

5 (8) |
13th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran who has finished second a few times on turf this season, without being particularly consistent; scored twice over C&D in December 2021 but is harder to fancy on his 2022 AW form. |
20/1 |
|
14th 7 (3) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who has finished second three times this season, most recently behind Dogged at Ripon in August; often amateur ridden; suspicion one or two will prove stronger. |

2nd Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
On a long losing run and was below market expectations over C&D last time; the handicapper's giving him every chance but he's become very inconsistent. |
