23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |

3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |

3rd 6 (10) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely runs at this track but has won six times over 6f on Tapeta at Newcastle/Southwell and belied 33-1 odds when close third over 7f here in July; could not get involved from off the pace at Southwell (6f) last month but a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light. |
12/1 |

14th 10 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won on turf but better on the AW and gave it a good go under a front-running ride last month at Wolverhampton (7f; just behind On Key); better known for his exploits at this trip; an exposed 9yo but not without hope. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Has won on turf but better on the AW and may have needed it at Wetherby last time after a break (and wind surgery); perhaps more effective at 6f, though. |

Has had plenty of chances since last win in March last year and, although he handles a sound surface, his best efforts and the bulk of his turf wins came on soft/heavy. |

Won this last year off a 9lb higher mark and rarely runs poorly over C&D; he is getting on now, though, and has work to do with a few of these on latest running here. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won divisions of this in 2022 and 2024 but he's looking regressive; only seventh in a classified race at Thirsk last time which was won by Drish Samphire; 1lb out of the weights. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time winner who scored twice last year but he's been generally disappointing in six runs this season; handles most ground but he needs to raise his game to make a serious impact. |

4th 8 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

C&D scorer who got back on track when fourth of nine over C&D in July; one to consider off the same mark after a break. |
11/2 |

4th 4 (2) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame on eight of his 12 course visits but only two of the last five, and about 3l behind Quercus when fifth in this race last year (good to firm; beaten favourite); can't fight the rider as much as he did behind Miss Rainbow on last month's return from a small break. |
6/1 |

2 (11) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Defied this mark at Catterick (6f, good) last April but that is his sole win since 2021; may have needed his reappearance run at Catterick in April but he's had another break since then and his AW record stands at 0-12; looks opposable back in this sphere. |

24th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has held his form all winter and boasts a win and a second from two runs over C&D; no obvious reason why he won't go well again but is 5lb above his last successful mark and has done most recent racing in lesser company. |

20th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and second of 15 at Pontefract (1m, soft) next time; back to form with close second to Rain Cap at Catterick (7f, good) last Wednesday and shaped then as though he would be fine now back down to 6f, especially at this stiff course and with slow ground expected. |

12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D in March and went close in a 0-70 handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) next time, but ran poorly over the same C&D (good) last month; needs to put that behind him but a player if he can. |

Nine-time winner; yet to find his best form in three runs for his new yard but last time was more encouraging and this represents a drop in grade; revival not out of the question. |

28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives out of sorts, tried without headgear when only seventh of ten in 6f Hamilton handicap eight days ago; others appeal more. |

7th 3 (11) |
20th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Very well treated on form as recent as last July but this 9yo struggled this season on his three runs for Lisa Williamson and it was the same story at Carlisle 12 days ago on his first start for Adrian Nicholls. |

5th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran who's looked on the downgrade this year; another ordinary effort last time and only holds outside claims. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who has won over C&D in the past but his last success was 15 months ago; has had some traffic issues a couple of times this summer but he's not finished closer than ninth this season and is easy to have reservations; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |
