Two-time C&D winner; near miss at Beverley in July (1m2f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level at Ripon last month (1m3f, good); caught wide when underperforming at Pontefract last week; dangerous at this level in an uncompetitive race; jockey having first ride as an apprentice (0-5 as an amateur). |

In good form in the spring but not so much lately, running poorly on heavy turf (handles those conditions) last time; hasn't run on the AW since her 2yos days. |

Dual 1m2f winner (good to firm/good to soft); on a competitive mark but will have to put two lesser efforts behind her to have a winning chance. |

In good nick without winning in the spring but she returned from two months off with a below-par fifth of seven at Nottingham (1m2f) in July; more is needed after another break here. |

8th 6 (4) |
21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
8yo whose losing run goes back 19 races to May 2021 and he was merely mid-division at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last time; however, he has a patchy record on AW and has run some good races on turf this term, including when third at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) two starts ago; possible player off career-low mark. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
28th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His last win was over two years ago but he's well treated on his old form and has reached the frame in four of his five runs this season; 1lb lower than for his creditable third at Thirsk (1m4f) last time and has each-way claims again back on AW. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
100/30 |

2nd 11 (6) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins have come over 8.6f/9.5f here and now 7lb lower than when twice runner-up over 7f at this venue last October; his last four efforts raise serious doubts over his ability to capitalise, though. |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Big chance on last season's form but he's been struggling this time around; dropping down the weights but soft ground would ask a new question of him and he's usually seen over further. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

All wins on good/good to soft, the most recent off 2lb lower at Wetherby in May; form dipped at Ayr last time and he is now conceding weight to several 3yos who are much less exposed; opposed. |

1st Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Looked to be a lightly raced 6yo to follow when winning in good style over C&D in February; however, he was soundly beaten over C&D next time and it was the same story at Pontefract last time; return to form required. |

10st 1lb |
Much better on the AW than on turf, her two wins both coming on Polytrack including over C&D last summer; just 1lb higher than when chasing home a subsequent winner at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in June and she could go well. |
16/1 |

11th 1 (10) |
20th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Two wins over this trip on Polytrack last year; another sound effort on AW when second at Newcastle (1m2f) last month but she had failed to beat a rival on turf on her two outings prior to that; has a 5lb lower mark on the grass but others are still preferred. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 (7) |
21st Jun 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins over this trip on Polytrack last year and just 1lb higher than for the most recent; has run well on Tapeta, but has failed to beat a rival in her last three starts (two on turf) so has a bit to prove. |
