5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August but he's been well held in last two runs including when last of five at Newmarket (1m, soft) last week; has quite a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (12) |
27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent turf form this year includes two wins at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August; better than bare result (hampered) last time; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in grade. |

Two Pontefract wins this month and he turned in another solid effort when third at Redcar last week; effective over C&D and should make another bold bid. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner but it has been over four years since she last put her head in front; retained ability last summer but she has been absent for 366 days and others look safer. |
25/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Five of her six wins have been here, the latest off 20lb higher in July 2022; mixed form this season, but chance on her C&D third in May. |
6/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Some creditable efforts this season, including when fourth at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June, but she was disappointing over C&D last time; bit to prove again after that and five of her six wins have come at Beverley; cheekpieces added. |

10st 0lb |
A seven-time C&D scorer; arrives in good nick, posting a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; a likely player again eased 1lb. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prolific winning veteran, including in this race in 2021 and 2022 (fourth to Capital Guarantee last year); went close to another C&D success last month and fair third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) since. |
11/1 |

Prolific winning veteran, mostly over 1m on a sound surface; most recent success came in this race last year, when 8lb higher; supported when a close second at Ripon latest start; respected. |

Dual C&D scorer; made an encouraging return with sixth at Catterick (7f) in May but beat one in 7f Redcar handicap since; needs to bounce back. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |
9/1 |

10th 12 (7) |
4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |
