22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed five tims this season but his losing run stretches back over two years and he wasn't at his best at Redcar when last seen eight weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Latest of his three wins came at Beverley (8.5f, soft) over two years ago but he's been placed on five occasions this year; below his best at Ayr (7f, good) 16 days ago and he now goes back up to 1m with the headgear removed. |

8st 9lb |
Not beaten far when fifth at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April but this 8yo has struggled on his three starts since; others preferred. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious. |

17th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Successful over 7f on AW and 1m2f here this term; form has dipped since the latter win, however. |

15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (1m2f) in May but he's been well below par since, only tenth at Musselburgh (9f) ten days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

10th 7 (2) |
5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won for the second time on turf at Ayr (1m2f, good) in May but despite that form looking solid enough, he's been some way below that in two subsequent starts; bit to prove dropping slightly in trip. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Showed benefit of latest wind op when winning twice at around 2m in February (good to soft/soft); slightly disappointing on latest outing in April, though, and needs to be back in peak form to have a chance off current mark. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A dual 2m winner and progressive over hurdles this season but he failed to translate that form back onto the Flat at Doncaster last month; he's the sort to bounce back here though. |

25th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won a Flat race in 2023 but is 0-21 over hurdles; tailed off on last two starts, admittedly in a maiden last time after four months off but he does not look a solid option; tongue tied first time. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins (7f/1m) in August 2024; best run last season was when second over C&D last May (good to firm); could bounce back from a below-par reappearance run last month. |
11/4 |

6th 3 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Largely consistent 8yo who tends to race a bit too freely and is usually ridden patiently; suited by this C&D and quite versatile ground-wise but absent since slightly disappointing run 13 months ago. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |
10/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran who last May gained a ninth C&D win; his more recent form is not so encouraging, though, just fifth of eight over C&D 16 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

6th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done most racing this year over 1m and hasn't looked to see it out in a couple of runs over middle distances; long odds-on to blow the start and there are risks involved from 2lb out of the handicap. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |
