31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this race last year and landed a handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten over 1m here last Saturday and, although this trip should suit him better, he needs to put that performance behind him; blinkers return. |
7/1 |
|
10th 7 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last two wins have come on Tapeta but over longer trips, the latest (1m3f, Southwell) in March off 3lb lower; could prove vulnerable back at 1m. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed but consistent and fully entitled to be sharper for his recent run at Beverley (extended 1m); on the downside, he's drawn wide and best form is over further. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |
|
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. |

2nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely but has responded well to blinkers, winning two of his three starts in this headgear (all on AW); up 7lb for the latest but that was quite decisive from off the pace and this could also be run to suit; 1m with cut underfoot is fine. |

9st 4lb |
Tends to race too freely but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when winning off reduced mark at Southwell (7f) last month; ought to have been suited by the return to 1m when very disappointing joint-favourite here two weeks ago but no surprise if he bounces back quickly. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran; inconsistent this season and needs to bounce back quickly from down-the-field run at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on Thursday but this C&D suits him and he has slipped to a tempting mark; can't be ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He's well handicapped on his season's best form but this 11yo needs to produce more than he's managed on his last few starts and he hasn't won beyond 1m since 2018. |
10/1 |
|
5th 10 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Contesting this race for a sixth time and he won it back in 2020; well beaten last year but he's run some good races in defeat this campaign and a long time since this low in the weights. |

Struggled in 2025; had a wind op prior to his seasonal return 12 days ago but he finished well beaten at Redcar (1m, good); too much to prove. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Ended 2024 in fine form, winning four on the bounce, but 2025 was disappointing; returns after a lengthy absence (had wind op in March) and he has plenty to prove in this competitive race. |

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 |

4th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner (8.6f/9.5f) who has dropped 7lb lower than when last successful, but his efforts since returning from a lengthy absence last May raise doubts as to whether he can take advantage. |
