4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Out of form last season but seemed to have turned a corner when second off much-reduced mark at Hexham (2m, good) 16 days ago; player if in similar mood again here. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who's done a lot of his winning in the summer and always liked it round here; back in form over hurdles last time and is 2lb lower than when going in here last July, so he needs a second look. |
7/1 |

1st 8 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D. |

Exposed sort who stays 2m well, is on a good mark and ran well to be third at Wolverhampton (2m) last time; chance. |

19th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won a Southwell novice (1m4f, Tapeta) on her stable debut in March but that was a good opportunity and she's been well held in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but she needs to raise her game back on AW; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
5/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
18th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten at Doncaster last month in her first two handicaps (1m4f/2m, soft); however, perhaps the ground was against her (showed promise on good going in Ireland) and she's not written off in first-time cheekpieces. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
28th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 109y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made a successful stable debut after 289 days off in a Southwell novice (1m4f, AW; 4-11) last month, but may have been fortunate to beat the hanging runner-up and was well held here (1m4f, soft) last time; has stamina to prove and may not want much more rain. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the Flat here (2m, soft) in November; fourth on hurdle debut here (1m7f, good to soft) later that month and improved when runner-up at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in December; he's high on the list today. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who landed a fourth win here (his third over this trip) when 28-1 and beating Edwardtheninth one month ago; flopped under a 5lb penalty the following week (Team Endeavour second) but that tactical race may be best ignored; could well bounce back. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won his fourth race at this track and third over C&D when scoring at 28-1 last Thursday on his return from a break; 5lb penalty doesn't leave him well in but this is a weak event. |

9th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Regular visitor to Pontefract with three wins and three seconds from 12 outings; however, his most recent efforts were a well-held third of four to Yorkindness over C&D and a tailed-off last of seven over 2m2f so he needs to get back on track. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced since his two very underwhelming hurdle runs for Derek Shaw in summer 2024 and returned from 318-day absence with 19l defeat off basement Flat mark last month; swaps hood for refitted cheekpieces; tongue-tie a first. |
50/1 |

9th 9 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Triple course winner (1m6f/2m) but his last success was in December 2022 and he didn't pose a threat in just two runs last year; returns after 318 days off and he has some work to do back in trip; hood reapplied. |
