28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); well beaten at Thirsk 24 days ago, however, and this is a deeper race. |

Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

Chased home Annie Edson Taylor at Hamilton last month but two lesser efforts have followed; others hold more obvious claims. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not had a lot of luck of late, latterly when anticipating the start and slowly away at Chester ten days ago; has a C&D autumn win to her name and goes on the shortlist for a yard in decent nick. |
8/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A win and a near-miss to his name in two runs here; now 7lb lower than when winning last spring but he's struggled this season, including without the trademark cheekpieces last time; needs a revival but the drop back from 6f should help. |
5/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Course winner who is well handicapped on last season's form and is one to watch in the betting; however, he finished down the field on his three starts this spring and needs to turn things around. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Things didn't go her way over 7f at Newcastle last time but she remains 4lb above the mark she defied over this trip at Leicester in June; others are more obvious. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Didn't convince with her stamina in one attempt over this trip in April; had been in good form this summer prior to a blip at Yarmouth latest; others may have greater stamina reserves. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Good efforts in all three 6f runs this year, placed behind the prolific Yorkshire Glory twice and readily seeing off five rivals at Southwell eight days ago; 1lb well in under a penalty; should go well. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
0-10 but he's dropped some way in the weights and was a creditable third here (7f) last Tuesday; kept on well in that race and has each-way claims again on this step up to 1m. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 12 (12) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
More realistically treated now than when first handicapping last October but he hasn't been getting near enough to make a case, with stamina for 7f also to prove. |

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

C&D scorer; in very good form without winning until just sixth of eight in 6f Thirsk handicap last month; she's the sort to bounce back though. |
13/2 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins have been on good or slower ground but she's been knocking on the door in her last five runs including when runner-up on good to firm at Ayr last time; on unchanged mark and she should be in the thick of things again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has won four times, including twice here (5f/6f), but ideally suited by some give in the ground; proving hard to win with this season, although has run creditably on last four starts (on good to firm on first occasion); each-way chance. |

Runner-up in 5f novice in September but has become disappointing this season and was well beaten when upped to 1m on Polytrack a week ago; has too much to prove. |
33/1 |

7th 5 (9) |
24th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in Beverley novice last September and he's dropping down the weights after failing to make much impact this season; his sole AW run (final 2yo start) was worse; some recent headgear but none today and he is upped in trip. |
