1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
17-134; had the run of the race when battling on gamely to edge out Polygram and His Finest Hour over C&D (good; 2-1) last month; disappointing at Doncaster (1m2f) and Redcar (1m) since; needs to bounce back. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Admirable veteran who recently completed a hat-trick over 1m2f before disappointing last week at Doncaster; has to bounce back from that, but he should be fine returned to 1m. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Win and a close second to his name from four runs over C&D and returns to Tapeta on a career-low mark following a patchy turf campaign; can pull hard and will need some luck from a wide stall in first-time cheekpieces but he's potentially well treated. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |

2nd 9 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |
10/1 |

13th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Good record here, his seven appearances yielding three wins and two second-place finishes; solid handicapping case to be made on his soft-ground C&D win just over a year ago and it would be no surprise if the return to this venue encouraged a revival. |
20/1 |

8th 11 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (12) |

This has always been his time of year and he's a dual C&D winner who's back on a handy mark; it wouldn't be a shock if he popped up. |

0-6; some promise in a couple of turf maidens at around 1m in the summer, but modest in three starts in handicaps since; visor given a go this time and it will need to make a big difference. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive mare who was badly out of form when last seen in the autumn; needs to have been revitalised by subsequent break, and could be considered only if attracting market support. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

0-12 (Flat and hurdles) for current stable; edging down the weights but she doesn't look in the sort of form required to capitalise, especially from the widest stall. |

Winless since 2024 and this veteran has yet to fire in handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle (1m4f) this summer; others appeal more. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
The last two of his seven wins were at this track, albeit in 2024; placed twice over 1m2f here in a mixed campaign last autumn/winter; well beaten at 25-1 five weeks ago, a run which he may have needed after six months off and he's now back to his last winning mark, but this race looks too hot. |

In fairly good form on AW at Newcastle towards end of last year, making the frame over 1m2f on three of his last four appearances, but has fitness to prove after six-month absence. |

Three-time winner (8.5f-1m2f) who is often slowly away; ran well when third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last time in a race won by a subsequent winner; has since left Iain Jardine having been bought for £5,000; has the hood removed for his stable debut and has stamina to prove. |

10yo who gained the latest of his eight career wins over this C&D (good; wore blinkers) last summer; soundly beaten on both outings this year but has blinkers refitted today and it won't be a shock if he stages a revival. |

10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |
