25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back on song when third at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month and he built on that to win at Ripon (5f, good to firm); he's gone up just 2lb for last time and could be a contender once more. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Handicapper had his say after an easy Nottingham win (2-2 there) early last month and this 5yo has been held since; often dropped in (may well be again from a wide stall) and would then be reliant on the race setting up for him, as well as some luck. |
12/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Won at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July but that wasn't much of a race and he has not repeated the form; now wears cheekpieces; others preferred. |
14/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his fourth career success at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July and 6f will have been too far for him at York next time; however, he's still 7lb higher than for the win and others make more obvious appeal. |

Two-time winner on turf; unplaced in all six AW starts but there has been some promise on Tapeta at Newcastle; others more persuasive this time. |

Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

9st 2lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has been a grand servant to the yard with two of his nine wins coming over C&D; latest success came at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month and he should not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
6th 12 (3) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Scored over C&D (fifth course victory) in July and not discredited with fourth of six in 5f classified event at Wolverhampton ten day ago; very much one to consider back here. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (10) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Scottish sprinter who rarely dips his toe over the border; scored at Ayr and Musselburgh last term but hasn't matched that this year, including when seventh of ten at Musselburgh on Monday; tries a new headgear combination. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Two of his three wins have been over C&D but losing run is mounting up; first-time tongue-tie could do with having a positive effect. |

11th 12 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner; yet to strike in 2026 but he has slipped down the weights and his latest C&D fifth was encouraging, just beginning to launch a challenge when forced to switch; each-way shout. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Course record of 3-9 includes a nose defeat of Quercus off topweight in this race in 2022 (good to firm); 5lb wrong this time and effectiveness on soft or worse untested since September 2021; debuted visor no certainty to inspire, all seven wins having been gained free of headgear. |

Her last three wins have all been over C&D but she hasn't been firing recently; the return to this track for the first time this year needs to have an impact. |
16/1 |

11th 13 (12) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Posted a good third over 5f here in June but she's beaten just one rival in two subsequent outings at Hamilton and back here; this course scorer needs to take a big step forward. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss at Wetherby (5.5f) last month but she failed to beat a rival at Hamilton last time; handles most ground but has a bit to prove again after that last run and others are more solid. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

2-29; her best form is on soft, even heavy, ground; runner-up at Catterick (5f, soft) last October; hasn't offered much in four starts since, finishing seventh (two places behind Kyber Crystal) at odds of 50-1 at Carlisle latest. |
33/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have come on ground on the soft side of good, but she does handle good to firm; back off her last winning mark, but she finished over 20l behind Lady Bouquet on her Catterick reappearance 15 days ago; first-time blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Last season ended with two poor runs and she's without a win since October 2024; however, that came over C&D and her best performance last season also came here; not written off on her reappearance. |
