22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Few chances on AW but he ran well over C&D in November off 3lb higher; returned to winning ways in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow two weeks ago (6f, good to soft); respected despite a 4lb rise and his draw in stall 1. |

1st 1 (4) |
8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He's had a mixed campaign but has shown spark on occasions and was stretched by 7f last time; now below last winning mark and he's not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
12th 3 (13) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Much better known as a sprinter but has form over 7f; now 3lb lower than when placed at Goodwood (6f, heavy) in May and his more recent efforts were perfectly respectable; back up in trip with William Buick up; a possible. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins from 37 starts, the most recent at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in December; got behind early at Southwell last time after short of room leaving the stalls but then kept on into seventh; each-way contender with refitted cheekpieces replacing regular hood. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Seen much more often on turf than the AW but he did win on sand at Chelmsford (7f) last December and has since shown useful course form over 6f and 7f; down the field at Doncaster most recently but would have a squeak if back to his C&D form in March. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won this last year off 7lb lower, when rank outsider in a small field; possible she didn't take to Ripon last time, after a career-best effort at Pontefract, but she's often done for early pace over this trip and needs to get it bang on off this mark. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Good record on turf for new yard, winning cosily at Pontefract 18 days ago (5f, good); a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he wasn't best drawn when seventh of 11 in 6f Pontefract handicap 43 days ago; he needs considering off a handy-looking mark. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (13) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has a poor strike-rate but went close at Ripon last weekend and holds a fighting chance in this grade; gained sole handicap win off 5lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has a good low draw and she's 3lb lower than when winning at Sandown last September; however, she's failed to beat a rival on her three outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie. |
33/1 |

20/1 |

8th 4 (10) |
8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
5yo who is lightly raced for her age and won twice last year (6f/5f, good to firm/good); well beaten at Haydock in June on sole run this season but may have needed that outing and is not written off today. |
20/1 |
