2nd 1 (14) |
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. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |

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. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |
25/1 |
|

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |

21st Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All turf wins, including two fillies' handicaps this year, on good ground but she has form on soft; close third in similar event at Ripon most recently; likely player if taking well to added visor. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
5th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Her three handicap wins have all come from the front, including twice round here; back in form last Tuesday (9.7f; again didn't lead) but there's not much wiggle room off this mark and an easy 1m on quicker ground is a bare minimum now. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His losing sequence goes back 15 races to June 2023 but he's been a good third on his last two starts and can be thereabouts once more. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Posted sound effort when placed off today's mark at Haydock (1m, good) last month but remains without a win since June 2023, and the faster ground here may not be ideal; not the percentage call. |
6/1 |
|
7 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some encouraging efforts off a reduced mark this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Dual 1m winner; acts on a sound surface and good to soft; has slid gradually in the handicap and looks well treated on 2023 form; tongue-tie now accompanies cheekpieces; support for him would pique interest. |
16/1 |
|
12th 8 (2) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Below par more often than not this year but soft ground may not have suited the last twice (most recently at Carlisle on Wednesday) and before those he was a good second at Thirsk (1m, good); capable of a bold show. |
20/1 |
|
9th 2 (7) |
11th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a five-runner race off 7lb higher over C&D in July last season (good to soft); one of his best runs since when second over 1m at Thirsk last month (good) but a lesser effort last time; a possible. |

29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

8st 13lb |
Dual course scorer, including this trip off 10lb higher in autumn 2022; hasn't fired lately so will need first-time blinkers (which are added to regular tongue-tie) to have a revitalising effect. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
4th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |
25/1 |
|
7 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

24th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |

Disappointed at Wolverhampton four weeks ago but she had been running well in defeat beforehand; stamina for this trip not yet assured and a tongue tie needs to have a positive effect. |

27th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Five wins last year, two of them at this track over the extended 1m (stays 1m2f); placed on her last three starts and Tommie Jakes' 7lb claim will be an asset today; unlikely to be too far away. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Kept busy on AW during the winter, winning over 7f at Newcastle and far from disgraced in a valuable 1m event there on Good Friday; however, his turf form is at a lower level and he'll do well to regain the winning thread. |
